Rumours codex Guardia Imperiale

Come da titolo. Ho trovato in giro per internet questi rumours e quindi ve li posto. Sono in inglese ma li ho lasciati cosi poerchè tradurli è un lavoro lunghissimo.

N.B: ci sono i profili delle unità ma dato che si tratta solo di rumours non c è nessun problema di copyright. Vorrei inoltre sottolineare che sulla credibilità di questi rumours (a differenza di quelli che ho sempre postato prima) non posso garantire nulla....


+++Special Rules+++

Calculated Leadership
The Imperial Guard functions only through strict adherence to Regimental organisation and the competence and level-headedness of its Officers.

Any guardsmen may use the leadership of any model with the ‘Officer’ special rule for all Morale, Pinning and target priority checks if they are within 6” (for Junior Officers and other models with the ‘Officer’ rule) or 9” (For Senior Officers and Heroic Senior Officers). They may also attempt to regroup, even if they are below half strength, if they are within this range (this can be used in conjunction of a Vox, see below).

This cannot be used if the Officer is in base to base contact with an enemy model, falling back, or is pinned.

Close Order Drill
“Shoulder to shoulder, men! Present bayonets! Steel is all they will find here! Let none through! Protect your brothers to the left and right, and they will do the same for you! ” –Colonel Farnier of the 14th Rifles at the defence of the Basilica of the Thorned Rose.


During their movement phase any Imperial guard unit with more than 5 models may adopt Close Order drill. To do this all models must be moved into base to base formation. While in Close Order drill the unit gains +1 In and +1 WS.

Cannot be used by Ogryns or Rough Riders


+++WARGEAR+++

Heavy Stubber
The Heavy Stubber is a place name for any medium sized, high rate of fire weapon. The usual classification is bigger than a lasgun, smaller than a heavy bolter. The standard infantryman can’t use the Stubber unless they slow down to brace for its massive recoil, but many regiments still take it for its useful suppressive abilities, and to allow the lasguns to get into close range.

The Heavy Stubber is a ranged weapon with Range: 18” S4 Ap6 Heavy 3.

During the Movement phase any infantry model with a Heavy Stubber may use the ‘Slow and Purposeful’ universal special rule for the remainder of the turn.

Do not forget that although for shooting and assaulting purposes this only affects the model with the Heavy Stubber, a unit may only move as fast as its slowest member, so the difficult terrain roll affects the whole squad.

Hunting Lance
Rough Riders of the Imperial Guard usually use this weapon as a method to deter eneI disagreaults. It is
a large spear which mounts a small explosive device to it. When Charging the Rough Riders will sink the spear tip into their foe which then triggers the explosive.

The Hunting Lance is a two handed weapon. The first time the model with the Hunting Lance charges they gain +1 In and +1 Strength (usable with other bonuses such as Furious Charge) and they count as having power weapons. Once that assault phase ends the lance is discarded and so gives no further benefit.

If the wielder of the lance is charged before they can use it they may still gain the power weapon bonus if they wish, but all other bonuses are ignored. The lance is then discarded.

Lasguns
The Lasgun is the most ubiquitous and prevalent weapon in His Majesties Imperial Guard. It is known for being resilient and powerful. Most Imperial Guard regiments use it at single shot at longer ranges and then switch it to fully automatic when closing with the enemy to suppress the enemy and gain the advantage.

The lasgun is a Rapid Fire weapon with the following profile.

Range 24” S 3 Ap – Rapid fire

The lasgun follows all the normal Rapid fire rules except when within 12” the Lasgun can choose to fire 3 shots rather than the normal 2.

Macharian Cross
Named after the most glorious of Imperial Guard Commanders, Lord Solar Macharius, This honour is given to any Officer who has excelled himself on the strategic side of the field of battle.

After Deployment but before the first turn commences, the Imperial Guard player may redeploy D3 units, (following all normal deployment rules). No model may be redeployed more than 12” from its starting position.

Medallion Crimson
The Medallion Crimson is an honorific given to soldiers who have received grievous wounds in the name of the Imperium. As is the nature of the award that most of the time it is awarded posthumously. Although those who survive to take to the field again are truly hardy individuals.

The model can ignore the first Instant death they receive; they take a single wound instead.

Platoon standard
Each Platoon has an emblem which it learns to love. Sometimes a standard, sometimes an Icon, Sometimes a form of mascot.

Any fleeing guardsmen unit within 8” of the Platoon standard must reroll their failed rally tests.

Regimental standard
A Heroic Senior Officer of a regiment will have a personal standard, one which is a clear indicator to all Guardsmen that the Commander is with them and his banner held aloft is a clear insult to any enemy they face.

Any fleeing guardsmen unit within 8” of the Regimental standard must reroll their failed rally tests.

Also when the model with the Regimental standard charges into combat all Imperial Guard models within that combat benefit from +1 attack for that round only.

Vox castor/ Master Vox
The Vox Castor is a simple communications device which has been created to aid Officers in their command and control of the battlefield. Many variations of this system exist within the Imperium including the telepath soldiers of Seperus Prime and the drummers of Karshnak four.

If a model in a unit is upgraded to have a Vox operator then it may use the Calculated Leadership special rule of any Junior Officer or Heroic Senior Officer, provided that the Officer is also in a squad with a Vox operator, even if they are outside the normal range.

This cannot be used if the vox operator in the unit is killed, or if no Officers with access to Vox Operators remain.

+++DOCTRINES+++

Doctrines are training disciplines which is what gives the Imperial Guard its tremendous edge. No matter what the foe, no matter the terrain, no matter the cost. There will always be trained and hardened individuals ready to fight.

Heavy Infantry
Heavy Infantry are frequently employed as shock troops; they are given advanced armour and training so they can move forward and crush their opponents with Imperial Steel. Notable Heavy Infantry units are members of the Cadian Shock troops, The Volpone Bluebloods and the Vostroyan Firstborn.

Members of a Heavy Infantry platoon are given carapace armour. Carapace armour gives any Infantry models a 4+ armour save.

Sharpshooters
Some regiments of the Imperial Guard specialise in accuracy training and spend most of their time honing their skills on the firing range (and sometimes, in firing squads). At the end of their training
they are much more capable of placing kill shots, even in swirling close ranged action.

Any BS3 model with Sharpshooters may re-roll any roll of a 1 on the ‘to hit’ roll when shooting. This may not be used with plasma guns as they are temperamental weapons which are difficult to aim properly by any.

Light Infantry
The unit has been versed the ways of stealth and misdirection, able to reach positions unattainable by direct assault. The Tanith 1st (also known as the ‘Tanith First and Only’ and ‘Gaunts Ghosts’) blazed a path of glory using their skills as a scouting and light infantry regiment.

Infantry units only. Unit gains the “Infiltrate” special rule.


Grav Chutes
The Grav Chute is an all purpose term for any kind of method which allows Guardsmen to drop onto their target from the sky. Some examples include using low flying troop ships and rappelling lines, parachutes or even rare anti-grav jump packs.

Infantry units and Sentinels only. The unit may use the ‘Deep strike’ special rule.

Cameleoline
This is another all purpose term for any form of mobile camouflage which can be given to units. There are many examples including the Camo Cloaks of the Tanith first to the Reflective glass plates of the Vitrian Dragoons.

Infantry units only. Gives the unit the ‘Stealth’ special rule and a 6+ cover save while in the open.

+++Vehicle Upgrades+++

Extra armour
Over time, vehicle crews grow fond of their vehicle, giving them hundreds of personalised upgrades
and enhancements (much to the consternation of the Adeptus Mechanicus). A prominent one is the addition of armoured shock plates to the Exterior and Interior of the vehicle to reduce the normal shakes of minor impacts.

The Vehicle turns any Crew Stunned results into Crew Shaken results.

Track Guards
A standard upgrade for all vehicles of the Imperial guard, additional armour plates are added to the tops of the tracks and the tracks themselves are strengthened and well maintained, making the chances of losing or slipping a track much more difficult.

The Vehicle has a 4+ save against any Immobilised results. If this is passed treat the hit as a Crew Stunned result.

Reinforced weapons mount
Over time it has been realised that certain weapons on Imperial tanks are vulnerable to enemy fire. It has been deemed that these weapons have upgraded sponsons and turrets, reducing the chances of disabling the weapon.

A single weapon on the vehicle has a reinforced mount. If an enemy player chooses this weapon on a weapon destroyed result roll a dice. On a 4+ the result opponent must choose a different weapon to destroy.


Hunter Killer Missile
A single Hunter Killer missile has been the unseen bane of many enemy vehicles as it flies out from the distance. The launching of Hunter Killers has presaged innumerable vehicle outflank attacks.

The vehicle mounts a single Hunter Killer missile.

Range: Unlimited S8 Ap3 Heavy 1

Rough Terrain Mechanism
Some vehicles need to be adapted to fight in terrain which could easily slip a track or disable a wheel. This adaptation usually takes the form of a Dozer blade (sometimes relieved from a local construction guild)

The Vehicle may re-roll any Difficult or Dangerous terrain rolls

Pintle Heavy Stubber
“I may be the captain, but that doesn’t mean ill sit there with a laspistol…give me something with a bit more Oomph!”- Captain Verdes, 13th Pardus tank Regiment.

The vehicle mounts a pintle Heavy stubber.

+++HQ+++

“As the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, the way to a mans mind is through his head. It should be remembered that the man who keeps his head will win the battle”- De Marchess, ‘thoughts’

Imperial guard snipers are BS4.

When an Imperial guard sniper squad fires at an enemy unit they may always allocate a single successful to hit roll to any model in the enemy unit.

+++ADVISORS+++
Advisors are a Catch-all phrase for a large number of Representatives of the Imperium into Imperial Guard armies and also autonomous agents with specialised skills within the Guard. They are to be found wherever they believe their skills will be most useful, usually in the thick of the fighting.

Advisors are a specialised Imperial Guard only army choice which are used to increase the power of individual squads, Advisors are purchased in batches of 1-5 of each specific type of advisor, but they must conform to all of the following rules:

Although 1-5 of each Advisor are purchased, they are not a normal squad or character, they follow their own deployment rules below.

Any model with the ‘Advisor’ Special rule must be attached to any non vehicle unit before deployment. They count as squad leaders and cannot leave their chosen unit unless it is destroyed. No more than 1 Advisor may join a single squad.

Advisors gain the armour save of the unit they have joined (not invulnerable saves, only armour saves). If they have joined a Rough Rider unit they move as Cavalry (only if converted appropriately, however.)

Advisors also gain the special rules of any squad they join (So if a Commissar joined a Stormtrooper squad they would have the Infiltrate, Deep Strike AND the Mission Accomplished special rule)

The HQ Command Squad may take more than 1 advisor, but may only take 1 of each type (Commissar, Priest, Sanctioned Psyker, medic)


0-1 Commissars
Rigid Adherents to the Imperial Creed, Commissars are ruthless, fearless individuals whose dedication to the service of the Emperor overrides any compassion or mercy for the men they must sometimes lead in battle. Universally feared by those around them, Commissars have the power to execute any troopers (or officers) found wanting.

Name Ws Bs S T W I A Ld Sv
Commissar 4 4 3 3 2 4 2 10 5+
Unit size: You may purchase 1-5 Commissars
Points: 20 points each

laspistol
Close Combat Weapon
Options:
They may upgrade the Laspistol to a bolt pistol for +1 point or a plasma pistol for +15

They may upgrade their Close combat weapon for a power weapon at +5 points or a power fist at +15 points.

Special rules
Advisor

Inspiring Presence
The presence of an Imperial Commissar does wonders for focusing the minds and abilities of the guardsmen around them.

If the Commissar is attached to a unit with model with the ‘Officer’ special rule, the Officer gains +1 Ld while the Commissar is alive (able to be used with the Calculated Leadership rule).

If the Commissar is joined to a unit with no officer, then he takes command and counts as a squadron leader

Summary Execution
The Imperial Commissar is given the free will to decide if there is a weak link in the chain of command, and the power to execute this individual without trial.

If any unit a commissar has joined fails a Morale or pinning test of any kind, the Imperial guard player must immediately remove a model from the unit (not the Commissar!) and the test is then automatically passed. If no guardsmen survive, the Commissar becomes fearless.

If the Commissar executes a model with the Officer special rule (or if they die in any other way), he immediately takes charge of their duties. The Commissar counts as an officer for the purposes of the ‘calculating leadership’ special rule for the duration of the battle.

0-1 Priests
Members of the Ecclesiarchy accompany many Imperial Guard regiments into battle. They ensure that the troops are sufficiently motivated to do their duty without fear, as well as fighting fanatically themselves.

Name Ws Bs S T W I A Ld Sv
Priest 4 2 3 3 2 4 3 8 5+
Unit Size: You may purchase 1-5 Priests
Points: 25 points each
Weapons: The priest comes with:
Laspistol
Close Combat weapon.



Options:
The Priest may upgrade his Close combat weapon to an Eviscerator at +20 points

Special rules
Advisor

For the Emperor!
Priests are known for being fanatical and crazed servants of the Imperium, rousing the men to greater acts of savagery, even when conventional tactics would be wiser.

The priest and any unit he joins are subject to the ‘stubborn’ and ‘Preferred Enemy’ Universal Special rules.

If within 6” of the enemy and in LoS at the beginning of the Guardsmen shooting phase, the Priest and the unit forgoes shooting any Rapid fire or Heavy weapons and MUST attempt a charge that assault phase

The Emperor knows.
“No man you showed his back to the enemy has been accepted to the Emperors table! No man who fled is shown his light. Stand your ground, no matter the odds, and you will be eternally rewarded!” – Catolis the burning at the victory of the Hellish gates.

When a priest joins an Imperial Guard unit they do not count negative morale modifiers for being outnumbered in close combat.

0-1 Sanctioned Psykers
These sombre and solitary individuals are able to use their psychic powers to enhance the troopers around them. Their powers are known for being wild and destructive and many guardsmen have cause to be nervous in the presence of a psyker.

Name Ws Bs S T W I A Ld Sv
Psyker 3 4 3 3 2 3 2 8 -

Unit Size: You may purchase 1-5 Sanctioned psykers
Points: 40 points each
Weapons: The Sanctioned psyker comes with:
Laspistol
Close Combat Weapon
He also has the following Psychic powers:

Mind Block
Above all, the Sanctioned psyker is permitted to live inside the Imperium for protection from enemy sorcery.

This is a passive ability which always works and does not require a psychic test. Any enemy Psychic powers cast against any Imperial guard unit are stopped on a roll of a 6+, for each sanctioned Psyker in the army, the roll goes down by one (5+, then 4+, etc to the maximum of 3+) whenever this is used, roll a dice for each psyker in the army, on a 1 they must take an Invulnerable save or lose a wound.

Pyrokinetic enhance
Most Sanctioned Psykers have the ability to make nearby weapons fire at much greater energy and power, although done improperly; the results can be devastating for the men holding them.

Used at the beginning of the Imperial Guard players shooting phase and counts as a shooting attack. If a psychic test is successfully passed then all ranged weapons in the psykers squadron begin to fire superheated and powered ammunition. For every roll of a 6 on the ‘to wound’ roll, the shot becomes Ap1.

If the psyker fails to pass the psychic test, the feedback causes a S1 hit on every model in the unit with no armour saves allowed and they may not shoot this shooting phase. The Psyker may use his invulnerable save against this attack.

Lightning arc
A favoured ability of Imperial Psykers is to launch lightning bolts from their hands, although as most can imagine, this is almost as risky to themselves as it is for their foe.

Requires a successful psychic test to use. The psyker gains a ranged attack for that turn with the following stats. Range: 18” S6 Ap3 Assault 5

For each roll of a 1 to hit, the psyker must take an invulnerable save or lose a wound.

Special rules
Advisor

Know the darkness
Sanctioned Psykers have learned to live with their abilities and are also augumented with special technology which allows the psyker some protection against their own wild power

The Sanctioned Psyker has a 4+ invulnerable save against all the negative effects of his own abilites, not against enemy (or friendly) attacks

0-1 Medics

Protect the Emperors Children
The Medic is the dispenser of wellbeing and health within the Imperial Guard. He gives surgery to those who need it and pass around medicae approved drugs to aid in battle readiness and ability.

The Medic and the squad he is with gains the 'Feel No Pain' Special Ability, but it only works on a 5+ rather than a 4+.

+++ELITES+++

Hardened Veteran Squad
Every Imperial regiment includes some truly hardened individuals. They know every aspect of every war. They are allowed some free reign by many Officers as the expertise they know can only be taught in the field and the lessons are harsh, the penalties harsher.

Infantry Platoon

“Many Generals have been blinded by the power of the tank; have gloated on the artillery barrage, and dream of the Aerial strike, or the Orbital bombardment. Those Generals have all collapsed and lie in the sands of time, beaten.

They forgot what it is to be a General of an army.

Remember the Infantry.”
- The High Lord Militant, blessed is his name.

Their Chimera is usually heavily modified, including powerful coordination and vox equipment to accurately direct nearby artillery.

Any Griffon Mortars, Heavy Mortars or Earthshaker rounds fired within 12” of the Armoured Fists Chimera will roll a D3 to scatter instead of a D6.

+++FAST ATTACK+++

Rough Riders
Many primitive cultures retain the use of mounted infantry, and the Imperial Guard has assimilated their skills and many have praised the Rough Riders’ brand of fast moving support. Although their charge is already deadly, the Hunting Lance is what makes many of these squadrons so feared and respected.

Special Rules

Cavalry

Furious Charge

Hellhound
A Hellhound is a Flamer tank based on the Chimera hull that uses its inferno cannon to burn enemy troops to a cinder. The Prometheum tanks it carries fuels its hellish spray and it’s thicker than average armour reverberates with the laughter of its pyromaniacal crew.

Volatile
The Massive Fuel tanks which give the Hellhound its deadly payload are a double edged sword to any nearby guardsmen if they are penetrated.

Inferno
The Inferno cannon is known and feared as one of the terror weapons of the guard. The enemies of the Emperor quail in fear as the long snaking tendrils of flame immolate all that they touch, no matter where they hide.

When firing the Inferno cannon, take the flame template and place it in any position and at any angle so the template is wholly within 24” of the Cannons mounting. Apart from this, the Inferno cannon is treated as a normal template weapon.
Sentinels
Sentinels are ideal scouting vehicles, and their pilots are often forced to use their own initiative and judgement, qualities not always fostered in Imperial soldiers. Many of these pilots are highly individualistic and have a reputation as insubordinate mavericks. When not pressed into service as scouts, they are often used to harry the flanks of enemy formations or act as mobile anti armour squadrons.

When deploying, Sentinels with the Independent Formation ability may choose to deploy like a normal Vehicle unit, or as an independent squad where each sentinel is deployed and acts like a separate unit for the duration of the battle.


Salamander Scout Squadron
Salamander Scout vehicles are used when terrain is favourable, but speed is needed. Built on the Chimera chassis, the salamander scout balances out its armour and adds a powerful engine which allows it to quickly flank an enemy force.

Assault Tank
The Leman Russ chassis is one of the most dependable and durable tank shape known to the Imperium. Due to this, and the age of the Leman Russ’s form, there are many variants on its weapon mount. Some Emphasise standing power and shell calibre, other its Armour. The Assault tanks use the Leman Russes engine for speed and manoeuvrability. It grinds ahead, uncaring of enemy fire, firing salvos of small weapons into the enemy and supporting the Imperial Guard advance.

less.
The Conqueror cannon mounts a coaxial Storm Bolter.

Annihilator Cannons- 25
The Leman Russ Annihilator mounts a pair of twin linked Lascannons in its turret. It is a powerful anti tank vehicle which can use its Lascannons on the move for mobile anti armour support, or remain still and destroy almost any enemy armour with its multiple anti armour capabilities.

Exterminator Cannons: 15
The Leman Russ Exterminator mounts a pair of twin linked autocannons in the turret. The Exterminator excels in the battlefield as mobile anti infantry support, able to keep on moving at Infantry speeds while laying down withering hails of firepower against enemy infantry and light vehicles.

Executioner Cannon: 20
The Leman Russ Executioner is a rare variant on the Leman Russ Chassis as it mounts an advanced Plasma Destroyer in its turret mount. The Plasma Destroyer is a potent anti Heavy Infantry weapon which provides a useful support for advancing infantry.

Infantry Support
Assault tanks are used as mobile infantry support because their lighter weapons allow them to maintain a constant speed while firing.

You may only purchase a single assault tank for each Infantry platoon that is present within the army.

All other normal restrictions apply (such as Force Organisation Chart restrictions)

+++HEAVY SUPPORT+++

Demolisher cannon- 45
The city fighter’s friend, the Leman Russ Demolisher mounts one of the most powerful of the standard tank armaments, the Demolisher cannon. It is a short ranged blast weapon capable of penetrating even the thickest armour and pounding the infantry inside to jelly.

Special Rules-

Griffon Mobile Artillery
The Griffon is an Artillery variant on the Chimera chassis. Although the shell is lighter in calibre and shorter in range compared to the Earthshaker, the Griffon heavy mortar has Griffon shells which give

one word... SUPERMEGAUNGODLYUPERUNBELIEVEABLYOMG AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, not only do we get our tanks back, a 10-man lasgun rapid-firing squad can fire 3 count em, 3 shots EACH, and we even get our old tanks back! even stormies are actually worth taking due to hellguns! and the stubber and shottie is even BETTER than the marine shottie! (a first in the history of the guard and GW) and the griffon IGNORES COVER!!!!!

ahem, on a more calm note, the IG are FINALLY the army they should be, amazing armour and regular grunts backed up by hard-as-nails elites, let the smurfs get their toys, if these go through the guard will walk through them as if they were REAL smurfs (the cartoon ones), while we dont have 4pt gsmen, the lasgun and the hellgun, not to mention demo charge AF squads and all of the other goodies we get even ap6 shotties, we will STILL be awesome

beh direi che se il nuovo codex G.I. sarà veramente così ne otterrà numerevoli benefici..veterani ovunque, squadre di fanteria a pieno potere con supporti pesanti distaccati, chimere a palate, coscritti che sparano l'inferno sul nemico (con il lasgun che spara a corto raggio 3 volte..) per non dire che una squadra da 50 coscritti costa solo 150 punti..i carri anche ne hanno giovato un bel pò..forse gli stormtroopers danno un pò di fastidio a causa dei punti elevati, anche se hanno anche loro delle notevoli migliorie..e non ho letto molto con attenzione ma forse c'è una remota possibilità che i bestioni incomincino a diventare utili..concludendo credo che la guardia imperiale ne gioverà parecchio, ovviamente se questi rumors verranno confermati..unica cosa, non ho capito le dottrine, non avevan detto che venivano rimosse?

io ho dato un'occhiata ma non ho capito niente XD
chi ha vogli dai tradurre l'inglese...........
comunque qualcuno potrebbe scrivere i cambiamenti più sostanziali?

SI, in teria le dottrine andavano rimosse... Proprio per questo questi rumours sono da prendere con le pinze...

O_O
il prossimo esercito orda.
oddio... cosa ho letto...

Mi sà che passerò alla guardia:sorr: se questi rumors si avverano allora la Gi diventerà finalmente un'esercito da temere. Ci sono un sacco di cambiamenti in punti e profili che finalmente fanno sperare al ritorno di alcuni modelli che non venivano mai giocati.

@ Green: Hai perfettamente ragione! sembra che la Gi sarà il prossimo esercito orda e la cosa mi gusta assai:sorr:

grande maresciallo... non vedo l'ora di sterminare questi ipocriti imperiali

dovrai passare sui cadaveri di miliardi di coscritti! :sorr:

bene bene...voglia di GI

dovrai passare sui cadaveri di miliardi di coscritti! :sorr:

ma miliardi. che appena gli asflati una truppa ti prendi tanto di quel fuoco di saturazione...

nn male davvero...mi sa che questi imperiali torneranno ad un livello molto buono a mio avviso

Gia,... se questi rumours dovessero risultare veri (cosa sulla quale non giurerei) sarebbero davvero belli tosti.... Cmq ne passerà ancora di tempo prima che uscirà il nuovo imperial-libretto...

Una stima su quando uscirà il codex la puoi dare Maresciallo? (A grandi linee ovviamente)

Mah... direi piu o meno tra un anno. Difficilmente prima...

io dico che verranno dopo i capitoli di maronzi (ovvero dopo i lupi e i vampiri).
direi agosto - giugno 2009

io pensavo sarebbero usciti verso marzo aprile o almeno le previsioni erano quelle....magari...

io pensavo dopo i De, verso giugno e poi necron

io avevo letto il contrario su qualche topic....space ottobre , gi marzo , de gugno e necron avanti ancora

io sapevo maronzi ottobre, SW a dicembre, marzo DE, Giugno GI, Agosto Necron.......
vabbè si vedrà, tanto sono tutte ipotesi........
