ROLL Tere At] er uc.)‘Andy Chambers, the Warhammer 40,000 Overfiend, acts as ‘system head of the Warhammer 40,000 game. His many ‘duties include ‘overseeing the Chapter Approved column in White Dwart, feeding the assistant games developers and trying to be both big and clever with variable degrees of success. Andy ‘has played a big part in the evolution (of Warhammer 40,000 with many credits to his name, including the second and third editions of Warhammer 40,000, Battiefleet Gothic, Codex: Orks and Codex: Tyranids. By the time you read this, the Chapter Approved column will have been runring in White Owart for over fity Issues. From its humble beginnings as an effort to put regular ‘gaming material for Warhammer 40:600 into White Dwar, the column has evolved into a vital tool for the, engoing development of the Warhammer 40,000 game. Chapter Approved has brought a rogular influx of proposals, suggestions and even whole Codexes from dadicated gamers all over the world. These have ali helped to shape the way the Warhammer 40,000 game has progressed as we've brought out new books and miniatures, Chapter Approved has also given the contributors and the Warhammer 40,000 team {an arena fo publish new ideas, make rues changes, answer questions and introduce varant amy lets where they wil reach as many chiar Warhammer 40,000 gamers as possible. ‘As we have gone on to reprint and revise citfrent books we have been able to take the ‘opportunity to correct mistakes and errata previously featured In Chapter Approved, so in this volume yeu'l find several Quostions and Answers pages replaced with Cooex uodates in accordance wih latest reprints, these can also be found on the Games Workshop webste i you.don't want to snip out the ones inthis book. Interestingly, as the game lise has evolved Cover recent years, the hobby has also evolved. There Is an aver-stengthening network of clubs, tounaments, everts, Outiders, Games Workshop stores and elite retailers working to bring players together and build on that ‘common fascination we all have with creating exquisite armies and leading them to destruction. I've included a few pages in this ook as a salute to these tireless solders inthe long war for posterty, and to get free pints when 1 un into them. O! course Warhammer 40,000 ita is expanding ever faster now that the Black Library has published so. much ‘axcallont fiction set in tho Warhammer 40,000, universe, Forge World continue to expand their rango of qualty resn-cast vehicles and torain, ‘and Fanatic Games support the Wartammer THE THIRD BOOK OF THE ASTRONOMICAN 40,000 specialist games. tke Necromunda, 40,000. Inquisitor, Battfleet Gothie and. Epic WHY DO A COMPILATION? ‘There are lots of reasons, One is accessiilty; ‘5 the column's gone on i gets hafder and harder to track down al of ft, and its easy to miss @ few issues here and there. Another is that having to refer to-a stack of Write Dwarfs ‘during a game ot chop up your collection to put them in ebinder is a pain. Yet another is that we (et to take another look over the articles and Update them in light of player feedback, or replace them with now material as approprat. 1S ALL CHAPTER APPROVED MATERIAL OFFICIAL? ‘Yes and nel Chapter Approved was never Intended to be lust official amendments. and ‘errata for the Warhammer 40,000 game ~ tht \would make it very ull indeed. However, muct fits cantent is army lists, OBA and other ‘expansions or clartications which players ‘naturally want 1 know il hey come with the fll force of rules-lamyering behind » them, ptculary in relation 1 toumaments and one- Of gemes against new opponents. Personally, | consider it essential to be able to publish new ideas and alternative ways of playing the game through Chapter Approvec, and this was much of is original intent. The Wamnammer 40,000 universe should remain a galaxy-sized sandpit to encourage and. exercise tne imagination ofits players and not become strajacketed into a chess board for tournament play So in order to make it easier to identty which bits are which Chapter Approved artcles are now organised into two ‘yes (an dea stolen from Jarvis Jonson, tke ‘most of my better ones) * Trial Rules: These are ettectively proposed new rules which we feel need further testing ‘and consideration by players before they become @ permanent(ish) part of the Warhammer 40,000 game. I's generally best to assume that these will only be used by pilor arrangement or a general agreement by 8 gaming group to adopt them as ‘house ‘ules. Trial niles are ones which we feel have good effects on the game and can be tecommended on that basis but may change the balance of power ior ceriain armies and missions. andior alter game dynamics enough for surprises to occur. As such, ‘toumament organisers and players meeting for the first time should specity which trial rules will be used. Onoe we've had enough feedback to update experimental rules and feel confident that they're ’A Good Thing’ they will bo published as Chapter Anoroved. ‘+ Chapter Approved: These are official ‘modifcationsiclartcations/adltions 10 the \Watnammer 40,000 game. This isthe detaui for anything that's in Chapter Approved i's not noted as baing expermentalin some way. Note that even if something is Chapter Approved it ‘may later get modted and updated in ight of player feedback ~ i's nat carved in stone as they say. WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER CHAPTER APPROVED BOOK? The crigial hope fad been to Keep all the felevant’ material {for previous volumes of Chapter Approved in each annual but this has Proved impossible dua to constrains of being able 10 pick the thing up. As such, some material has been reproduced here and the remainder is avaiable. as downloads on the website: ww games-workshop.co.uklchaptorapproved in case of confcts, the latest annual takes precedence over prior editions of Chapter Approved.

Unfortunately for the planet's inhabitants the Ork threat does ‘hot end when the vast hulks leave the system. A small trace of the Ork Waaaghl is left behind and will in ne {grow into a new menace known as Feral Orks, All Orks give off epores which are dispersed on the wind. A few of these ‘spores may tall into remote zones on a planet's surface, the dense jungles or dry anid plains, places where most Civilisation finds it difficult to survive The spores rapidly infest the area and grow withoupthe threat of discovery. Over a relatively short period of timo, these spores will mature into full-grown (rks and band together in loose tribes, SURVIVAL OF DA BIGGEST At fist these tribes are small in number and are of litle threat to the planet's inhabitants. The Orks are uncivlised, ‘even by tho low standards of Orks. They have litle concept of language and no grasp of technology. At this early stage in their existence they are hunted and preyed upon by all manner of savage beasts. Its a very important stage in the Feral Orks’ development, where only the strongest will survive ut of this period a particularly ‘cunning and strong Ork will emerge as the leader and the other Orks will gather round him. It's at this point that a Feral Ork tribe will begin to emerge. The tribe learns to fight against their natural predators through use ofits numbers and, as it grows and expands its territory, more and more Orks are The Feral Orks learn to scavenge weapons and equipment left by the previous Waaagh! Although much of the technology Is far too advanced for them, it does not take long for the Ork to realise the gruesome effect of pointing the noisy metal thing at an enemy. Minutes atter this incredibie discovery the tribe will go to war, shooting at any targets that come before them, conquering all the other rival tribes and uniting under one banner. DA TRIBE The tribes usually take the name of the eadly beast tha pased them the ‘greatest threat before they became kullured. As more and more Orks join the tribe they are able to specialise in their abilities. The biggest and strongest Orks are able to bully the smaller and newer members of the tribe to hunt down prey. They take the approach that the bigger you are, the more you need to eat and, therefore, drawn to the group. the bigger your portion of the kill, Few ‘Orks dare argue with that kind of logic. ‘As the smaller Orks spend much of their time hunting down prey, they become excellent shots. Others learn hhow to track and trap their prey, taking the skulls or hides as trophies of their prowess. Some learn to make use of the beasts of their home world using them as mounts to hunt down fast prey. Some will discover other primitive tribes, and so the main tribe grows exponentially. AAs the tibe expands, claiming more and more territory, its inevitable that will clash with other races, Al first only small outposts will be attacked, Then the tibes will strike in massive raids against towns and entire cities, before swiftly disappearing back into the wildemess. With each new raid the tribe gains more and more equipment and more and more thirst for battle until it will launch itself on a frenzy of conquest, Once the Feral Ork Waaagh! has started, it can gain an unstoppable momentum, The entire planet will become consumed by the Orks in a furore of battle, until all that there remains to fight Is each other, which they do with savage abandon,a or rk the. 2 w ic ve Foral Orks aro of a similar mindset to their more prominent cousins and use the same special rules, They may have mixed armour within units, use choppas, utlise the Ork Mob rule, use Grol mobs for cover and invoke the Power of the Waaagh! WYRDBOYZ are reluctant psykers who Wafer tno nose expioding. ‘They draw their power trom the ‘Wagaghi! energies subconsciously released by other Orks' excited minds ‘as they go to battle. This energy can {row to Such an intensity within the \Wyrdboy's mind that he ts unable to control it resulting in his brain bursting from his skullinan almighty blast, For this reason they prefer to stay away from battles, but the Feral (rks need their talents to make up for their lack of heavy weaponry and tend to insist that the Wyrdboy turns up. Despite being an Independent ‘Character, unaccompanied Wyrdboyz are treated as one-model units and ‘must test for Last Man Standing at the start of each turn. "Eadbang: When using his powers, the Wyrdboy will never suffer an attack by Daemons from the Warp but, i he ros 2 2 or 12, suffers a Strength D6 hit as the barely contained energies build up to cause an Eadbang. \YWYRDBOY POWERS 3 The ‘may choose to use one ofthe following powers per turn. Psychic Vomit: Unable to contain the rk energies any longer the Wyrdboy vents it forth in a stream of green psychogenic energy. Place the flamer template with the narrow end touching the Wyrdboy: Each model even partially under the template suffers an ‘automatic Strength 4 hit. Gork'll Get ’Em: The Wyrdboy's beliet in Mork and Gork is so complete that it ‘causes a manifestation of their power. ‘This takes the form ct a large green tist or foot descending from above. This ‘counts as a shooting attack. The Ork Wyrdboy must be able to see his target, and rolls to hit as normal ange 72° Strength 8 AP~ Assault 1, Blast Where normal Ork societies have a ‘smattering of Meks and Mac Doks these are not evident in Feral Ork sociely. Instead they have Ork specialists known as Pigdoks who specialise in the training, adaptation and healing of beasts. Ithas been argued that the Feral Orks' low technological base means that their ‘survival is dependent on thor offoctivo Use of the animals such as Boars and ‘Squiggotns. For battle, Pigdoks build special syringes with big red knobs which can be pressed to inject Cyboars with a high dosage of adrenaline stimulant. The effect is to make the beast more aggressive. Before the came each Pigdok may attempt to dope one unit of Boarboyz, Squiggoths, Herdas or Madboyz. He ‘sug0eeds on a roll of 6, modified if he \s assisted by one or more Styboyz. It Suocessful the unit affected gets +1 Strength for the duration of the game. A.unit may only d¢ doped once. In most cases characters are upgraded from ordinary troops. Where this is the case, the character keeps the basic weapons ‘and wargear of the mob he’s part of ~ for example, a Brute Nob has a Slugga and a Choppa. This doesn't prevent you from picking extra weapons for him from the Armoury, although the restrictions on the number of weapons that can be carried always apply. Ork characters may have up to two single handed-weapons, or one single handed weapon and one two-handed weapon. ‘You may also pick up to 40 points of extra wargear for each character from the Wargear lists (60 points for a Warboss). The full Wargear rules are on pages 34-37 of Codex Orks.

Slaver may only choose from the Feral Ork ArmouryBy Phil Kelly As any imperial Guard fan willl you, Dan, Abnetts Gaunt's Ghosts novels detail some of the most exciting and visceral actions of an Imperial Guard regiment in history of the Imperium. Recently boosted by the eagerly-awaited The Guns of Tanith, the Gaunt's Ghosts books are ‘among the Black Library's finest publications. When the forest world of Tanith fell to a surprise attack by the ‘vanguard of @ Chaos fleet, the troops uslered there were in no state to repel 12m. The forces mustered trom the planet, tended to fightin the Sabtat Worlds usade, were barely founded when a orm of destruction rained down upon their peacotul, arboreal world. Commissar Gaunt, entrusted withthe command of the emergent Tanith regiments, was forced to ‘make a decision that shaped his own destiny and that of the surviving troops. Evacuating as many of the soldiers ‘could during the Chaos attack, Gaur fabbad the Tanith of a chance to fight and sie with theic homeworld, Two whole regiments wore lost. Tho remaining men, ‘now alone and without a planet to call home, called themselves Ghosts Since that point Commissar Gaunt has ‘won the devotion and respect ofthe. one ‘surviving regiment, leading them through hellish theatres of war to glorous vietory time and time again. However, there are ‘some among the Tanith First-and-Oniy, he forever widowed from their homeworkd and condemned to alte of conflict, whose resentment at Gaunt's decision still simmers despite the passing of years. The Tanith troops, almost entirely comprised of light infantry, excel ia stealth ‘operations and commando raids. Their ‘cameleoline camo-cloaks, in conjunction with the natura abilties ofthe Tanith Soldiers to blend in withthe surrounding environment, mean they ate extremely accomplished infitrators. Expert marksmen, the lack of Tanith armoured ‘support is more than made up for by thew resourcefulness and skill and, when allied to another Imperial Guard regiment, their ‘skills can really come tothe fore. emmissar Gaunt and the other special charactars from the Gaunt's Ghosts boxed set form a Command Platoon and count as en HO | | choice. This unit cannot be accompanied by any Heavy Weapons squads as would normally be the case with a Command Platoon, but ;ou may bolster it with the optional characters detailed on the web page. “ou may ag Tanith units fo an existing imperial Guard force.
