Cool ship! What scale are you thinking, bigger than Tantalus if it's LoW and Tantalus is just Heavy Support?
I wanted it to be big, but not Super Heaver stats, i wanted it to be a survivable monster that is scare if it gets close to infantry, tho MC/Vehicle blocking would be a good strategy against it. I also didnt want it to have large fire power, just 4 Splinter rifles, however it would have a nice melee profile. It would also have No-escape rule. |

| "When you move over an infantry unit it does D3 mortal Wounds, on a roll of a 4+ you gain a Slave token, if then unit contains 5 models or more on a 3+ gain a Slave token, if the unit contains 10 or more models on a 2+ you gain a Slave token. Each time this model gains a Slave Token that unit takes an additional D3 Mortal Wounds"
So this model can only do up to 6 wounds a turn, but its going to be a large army buff model and AI model.
Slave Token chart; All Drukhari units with 12" gain these buffs based on Slave Tokens
1) Gain +1 LD, all enemy units within 12" are -1 LD 2) Add 1 turn to the PFP Chart 3) Gain +1 to Inured to Suffering and Coven get +2 instead 4) All units gain +1 Attack 5) All units gain +1 Strength 6) All units gain, on a wound roll of 6, Deal 1 additional Mortal Wound
The Idea is that number 6 is the most important one, but Number 1 is a Great way to keep larger units alive more and to give DE another LD modifier, it acts like a "Moral" buff/Debuff
Number 2 and 3, i feel we need some modifiers to the PFP chart, if our Codex gets them then this can change.
4-5 are just Melee buffs, more design to help Wcyhes and Coven melee for late game hard hitters.Go here to discuss it so we can stay on topic about LoW's http://www.thedarkcity.net/t16348-new-unit-slave-harvester#197862 |

| Why not steal a wraith knight and have a haem play around with it so it wont require a soul stone pilot, maybe graft some poor wrack or warrior into that part then just add some spikey bits,trophies, paint it black, give it a new weapon, like say a Dark Lance Cannon Heavy D3 S12 AP-5 D2D6 and maybe give its melee weapon option be a whip maybe something like Void Whip 6" Assault 6 S6 AP -3 D3, Melee S8 AP-4 DD6. For shoulder options maybe some new anti horde missile Launcher like Misery Launcher Heavy 20 S* AP- D1 with typical poison wounding. then for normal shoulder options say twin linked dissingrators or dark lances. |

| I'd kinda like to see a Haemonculs creation similar to a Maulerfiend (though obviously in the DE/Coven style), and with a platform on top for a single Haemonculus.
He gets a great view of the carnage his creation causes. |

| I mean this is SERIOUSLY unrealistic, but one LoW per "branch" would be nice.
Vect + DoD (Toughness 8 16 wound 2+/5++ Ravager with 6 man transport capacity and open topped, 3 Void Lances, and BS 2+) could be the Kabal Lord of War.
Slave Harvester (suggested in another thread) would make a cool Wych LoW.
And of course there have been plenty of awesome suggestions for Coven LoWs. |

| I've long been tempted to get a Glotkin and add some Haemonculi puppet masters, using it as a 'counts as' Wraithknight. _________________ You have been weighed, you have been measured, and you have been found wanting. In what world could you possibly beat me? |
