Video games Workshop must unleash one Warhammer 40,000 Kill Group upon us all within the re-creation: A Film Marine Kill Group!
Earlier than we get TOO far into this, I simply need to say up entrance {that a} Film Marine Kill Group would break the sport. And it shouldn’t be allowed for aggressive play. This must be a 100% non-obligatory and utterly foolish Kill Group — at the very least by way of energy on the tabletop. Now, with that out of the way in which, what the heck are Film Marines anyhow?
Film Marines
Film Marines are a traditional concept by this level. They’re kind of a joke concept that will get bounced round however the concept is just put as this: “What if the Marines you can discipline truly match their lore?” If we’re going by that commonplace than a Kill Group of Film Marines might be within the neighborhood of 1-3 Marines on the tabletop. And every one is a mainly a military unto himself!
Now, earlier than you suppose I’ve simply pulled this concept out of the air, it is a idea that has it’s roots waaaay again in White Dwarf. GW truly revealed a Film Marine checklist as a enjoyable joke.
In case you take a look at their stats for every Marine and their weapons you may see simply how ridiculous they’re. The Particular Guidelines are additionally a visit to learn by means of. However that’s your entire level!
Now, we’ve truly bought an article about working them in tenth Version. However I say that GW must shrink the scope and recreate them to be used in Kill Group. And I do know precisely who they may use as a template…
Film Marines? Extra Like Video Sport Marines
Like MANY of you, I too have been becoming a member of my battle brothers and slaying out in House Marine 2. To me, it’s simply good clear gory enjoyable. When you recover from the mechanical variations of House Marine vs your typical shooter I discovered it to be nice visceral gameplay. And I believe that’s what a Film Marine Kill Group must be going for.
One of many greatest restricted elements for a Film Marine checklist is their numbers — as within the lack of them. Once more, if GW balanced House Marines round being compelled to solely discipline 1-3 of them, however nonetheless have the affect of FULL Kill Group, I believe they’d be heading in the right direction. In my view, I believe they’ve the mechanical ideas already carried out from House Marine 2. The important thing factor is the way in which the House Marines “heal” through Executions. I believe if a Film Marine Kill Group had a particular rule that allowed them regain wounds from fight and/or additionally give them some further actions (to account for his or her low numbers) then we’d be heading in the right direction!
With out the Kill Group guidelines in entrance of me, it’s a little bit laborious to provide you with any laborious guidelines or stats. Fortunately, these are going to be obtainable on-line very quickly. That’s one more reason I’m tossing this concept on the market. Whereas I do know it’s not simple to only whip-up some guidelines and publish them for GW, I believe a White Dwarf article and Film Marine for Kill Group replace could be a improbable strategy to implement them.
Once more, wanting on the examples guidelines above, we’ve bought precedent — it may be finished! The very best half is as a result of the Film Marines aren’t imagined to be meant for Aggressive play they don’t have to be completely balanced. I’m okay with them being a bit on the busted facet. Particularly with these solo play/joint-ops missions arising…Simply tossing that on the market GW.
The thought of enjoying Film Marines with the Kill Group Joint-Ops missions seems like an absolute blast. Make it occur GW!
