Chaos Marines in the Movies

Inspired by Mkerr and his fantastic Movie Marine Article on Bell of Lost Souls. As a response I have created a Chaos Marines in the Movies list for grins. This is yet untested and done purely for the sake of fun. Besides every Movie has got to have its Baddies!

Selection* *

1 Aspiring Champion
"The movie army is led by a tough, grizzled Veteran of ten thousand years of perpetual war, leading in a vicious and brutal fashion. He is a lethal Warrior surviving thousands battles and is more than eager to free the servants of the Imperium of their slavery to the Corpse God." WS 8 BS 7 S 6 T 6 W 3 I 6 A 4 LD 10 Save 3+ Points 200

Aspiring Champion

Composition: 1 Unique Unit Type: Infantry

Wargear: Bolter Bolt pistol Chainsword Frag and Krak grenades Auto-senses Power Armor

Special Rules: Force of One Fearless Fleet Move Through Cover I feel the warp overtaking me...

The Aspiring Champion may replace bolt pistol with a plasma pistol for +50 points. Special Rules: I feel the warp overtaking me...: The Aspiring Champion is infused with the power of raw Chaos. On any turn that he launches an Assault he gains D6 extra attacks. Roll these dice separately; on any results of a one the Aspiring Champion must make an armor save or take a wound. Note: All Movie Chaos Marine armies are led by a single Aspiring Champion. That's what the "1" in the "1 Aspiring Champion" means.

* * Elite

Selection* *

0-1 Possessed Marine

All the great sci-fi bad guys have a subordinate or partner that is Mad as a Hatter. Hes the guy that takes his orders way too far and revels in the carnage while hes doing it. Sometimes hes the grim sort of comic relief that you know its wrong to laugh at, but do so anyway. WS 7 BS 6 S 6 T 6 W 2 I 5 A 4 LD 9 Save 3+ Points 150

Possessed Marine

Composition: 1 Unique

Unit Type: Infantry

Wargear: Bolt Pistol Frag and Krak grenades Auto-senses Power Armor Daemonic Talons

Special Rules: Force of One Fearless Fleet Move Through Cover Daemonic Visage Do you hear the voices too?

Options: The Possessed Marine may be equipped with warp infused Ammunition for +50 points. Special Rules: Daemonic Visage: The possessed Marine is a terrifying sight to behold as metal is fused with flesh. Any unit that wishes to assault the Possessed Marine must pass a leadership test to do so. If the test is failed the squad must fall back. Do you hear the voices too?: The Possessed Marine constantly hears the whispers of Daemons in the Warp, he is quite a nutter! Roll a D6 at the beginning of every Chaos turn and on the result of a one the Possessed Marine charges off in some random direction in the movement phase. Roll the scatter die and move the model his full 6 inches in the direction indicated. If a Hit is rolled on the scatter die the Possessed loses the option to move this turn as he deals with the voices in his head.

Warp Infused Ammunition: If equipped with Special Issue Ammunition, any wounds caused by the Possessed's bolt pistol ignore both cover and Invulnerable saves.

DEMI1 CHAOS SPACE MARINE DEMI-SQUAD 1

"This listing represents typical Chaos Space Marines -- if you can call 7' tall, genetically engineered, psychologically conditioned killing machines typical.

Attack* *

0-1 Chaos Spawn

The Chaos spawn is what the heroes of a great sci-fi film are afraid of when Jones goes missing. It skulks around and attacks when you are most vulnerable its only goal is to assimilate you into its massive body. It is the terror in the dark that everyone fears WS 5 BS S 7 T 7 W 5 I 5 A D6+2 LD 9 Save Points 175

Chaos Spawn

Composition: 1 Chaos Spawn Unit Type: Beast Wargear: None Options: None

Special Rules: Fearless Slow and Purposeful Rending 5+ Invulnerable Save Terror to Behold Regeneration Vulnerable to Fire Assimilation

Special Rules: Terror to Behold: The presence of the Chaos Spawn evokes feelings of dread and terror in its enemies causing even the most strong willed to cower in fear. All enemy units within 6 inches of the Chaos Spawn reduce their leadership by 1 and must pass a Leadership test or fall back. Regeneration: The Chaos Spawn is constantly evolving and incredibly tough to hurt. If the Chaos Spawn fails its invulnerable save it may ignore the wound on a die roll of 4+. Vulnerable to Fire: The slick nauseous flesh of Chaos Spawn is extremely vulnerable to damage caused by incendiaries. When hit by a Flame weapon the spawn reduces its toughness to 5. The Chaos Spawn may not regenerate any wounds caused by Flame weapons. Assimilation: The Chaos Spawn is constantly looking to feast on flesh of its victims. During this process the Spawn grows more massive. For every casualty caused in Close Combat by the Chaos Spawn roll a D6 and on the result of 5+ one wound added to the Spawns profile, up to a maximum of 10 wounds.

0-1 Chaos RHINO

BS 5 FA 13 SA 12 RA 11 Points 130

Rhino

Composition: 1 Chaos Rhino

Unit Type: Vehicle (Tank)

Wargear: Twin-linked Bolter Smoke Launchers Searchlight

Special Rules: Assault vehicle Repair

Transport Capacity: 10 Infantry Models Options: A Chaos Rhino may purchase extra armor for +50 points. A Chaos Rhino may purchase a Havoc Launcher for +70 points Range 48 Strength 6 AP 4 Type Heavy 2, Large Blast, Pinning

Havoc Launcher

Special Rules: Repair: Instead of shooting, a Chaos Rhino may automatically repair an Immobilized result. Assault Vehicle: Disembarking Space Marines may assault.

CHAOS RHINO UPGRADES

Smoke Launchers: Space Marine smoke launchers follow the normal Warhammer 40,000 rules (BRB, p62) but may be used in every Space Marine Movement phase. Searchlight: A vehicle equipped with a Space Marine searchlight ignores Night Fight rules. Extra Armor: A vehicle with Space Marine extra armor ignores Stunned and Shaken results.

SPECIAL RULES
Force of One: Chaos Space Marines generally work in squads, but individual models may move out of unit coherency and may operate independently. The concept of unit is fluid to the battlehardened Chaos Space Marine. As long as a Chaos Space Marine is within 4" of another Chaos Space Marine they are considered to be part of the same unit. Additionally, multiple Chaos Space Marine units can ride in the same transport, embarking and disembarking independently. Note: Use the Force Organization chart to determine kill points for Annihilation missions. Each unit counts as two kill points and the entire unit must be removed to gain the points. For example, a Movie Chaos Marine army with an Aspiring Champion, a Possessed Marine, two Demi-squads and a Rhino count as 10 kill points. From hell's heart, I stab at thee: If a Chaos Space Marine is removed because of the No Retreat rule, then he will go crazy ape bonkers as he gets dragged down. He can fire either a bolter or bolt pistol at his enemies (make the attacks normally) or pull the pin on a Frag grenade (center the blast over the model) and take his foes with him.

CHAOS SPACE MARINE ARMORY

Auto-senses: Chaos Space Marines count as being equipped with an auspex and may re-roll the dice when determining sighting distance for Night Fight. Power Armor: Models in power armor may re-roll unsuccessful armor saves. Additionally, models in power armor gain a 4+ Invulnerable save. Chainsword: A Chainsword is a power weapon that allows the wielder to re-roll any failed roll to wound. Additionally, all close combat attacks gain the Rending quality. Chainaxe: A Chainaxe is a power weapon that confers a +1 S bonus and allows the wielder to re-roll any failed roll to wound. Additionally, all close combat attacks gain the Rending quality. Close Combat Blades: Close combat blades are vicious Admantium bladed short swords carried by Chaos Space Marines, which add +1 to their attack profile. Daemonic Talons: The Possessed Marine has mutated brutal talons attached to his arms, sometimes replacing his hands. All close combat attacks gain the Rending USR and allow the Possessed to re-roll any failed roll to wound. Power Fist: A Power Fist is a Strength 10 two-handed power weapon that is difficult and cumbersome to use, so attacks with a Power Fist are always delivered at Initiative 4. Additionally, a Power Fist rolls +3D6 (rather than +D6) for armor penetration.

Frag Grenades: Models armed with Frag grenades count as being equipped with assault and defensive grenades. Frag grenades can be used as a ranged weapon with the below profile. When used as a ranged weapon, Frag grenades ignore cover saves. Krak Grenades: In addition to being used against a vehicle as normal grenades, Krak grenades can be used as a ranged weapon with the below profile. Krak grenades roll +2D6 (rather than +D6) for armor penetration.

Flamer: Select a target. If the target is in range, then the flamer automatically hits every model in the target unit (i.e., do not roll to hit and do not use the flamer template). Roll a D6 for each model. The flamer wounds on a 4+. Multi-wound models wounded by the flamer are covered with flaming promethium and must immediately make another save. If this save is passed, then the model puts out the flames. If the save is failed, the model takes another wound and must immediately make another save. This continues until the multi-wound model passes a save or is removed as a casualty. Meltagun: A Chaos Space Marine meltagun within 24" rolls +2D6 (rather than +D6) for armor penetration. A Chaos Space Marine meltagun at half range or less rolls +3D6 (rather than +2D6) for armor penetration. Autocannon: A Chaos Space Marine Autocannon has two modes of fire; M1 Assault for when it is fired on the move and M2 Heavy for when fired stationary. When firing the Autocannon in the assault mode roll one additional D6 for determining the distance of any scatter results. Missile Launcher: A Chaos Space Marine missile launcher may fire either Frag or Krak missiles. The player may use any combination of Frag and Krak missiles when the weapon is fired. Lascannon: Draw a 60" line from the Lascannon. Line of sight is not required and terrain is ignored. Roll to hit the closest unit. If the shot misses, the beam goes wild and no more hits are generated. If it hits, then roll to wound normally and move to the next closest unit touched by the line and roll to hit. Continue along the line until the lascannon misses or all units have been hit. Wounds are allocated normally against the unit (e.g., you can't snipe models with a Lascannon shot).

This has been a fun little distraction from my Mini-dex project. I hope you enjoy tying it out as much as I did making it. If you do get a chance to playtest these, please send your comments and feedback to me at galaxynflamesblog@gmail.com Thanks to Menzies for the quick cover art for this project.

Thanks again and enjoy, Big Jim http://galaxyinflames.blogspot.com/
