Khazak's Stronghold

Background
(Still being written hope to have it up in a few days)

Squat Special Rules

Army Strategy Rating: 3
Army Initiative Rating: 2+

Stubborn
Squats are stubborn and are hard to break in assaults, and will rally quicker then other troops to get back into the fight and the following two rules represent this.
(1) Squats roll 3D6 in the final assault roll off, picking the single highest number rolled.
(2) Squats roll 2D6 for rallies picking the highest single number rolled.

Land Train
A Land Train must form a connected chain with the Engine in front. As long as the train is able to maintain this chain the whole train has a speed of 15cm, and all of it's cars may combine their void shields. While the entire Land Train is treated as a single formation, and do combine their void shields, treating it as a single shield covering a single formation, they are still treated as individual war engines as far as the rules of Epic-A are concerned. If a car is immobilized through a critical hit it may be abandoned by the Land Train.

Hellfury Pulse
The Hellfury can only target, and hit, a single unit. However if it scores a hit roll D3 to see how many hits were scored on that single unit (the Pulse), and then D3 for each of those hits for the TKD3. So a Hellfury can score from 1 to 9 hits on a single unit, and all of them will be MWTKs. If the Hellfury hits Shields, Powerfields, Holofields roll D3 to determine how many shilds were downed, in the case of the Holofield, how many holofield saves need to be taken, and then only carry out TKD3 if any hits got through the shields to strike the target.

Tunnellers
Tunnellers are similar to Drop Pods in the way they are deployed, however they do have some very significant differences so we present the rules for them here in full.
(1) Write down the coordinates, on a piece of paper, where the tunneller will emerge from below ground and the turn it will arrive. If the tunneller is going to appear in the friendly half of the table it can be slated to arrive from turn two onwards. If it is slated to arrive in the enemy half of the table it can arrive anywhere from turn three onward. For example you could write 45cms up from my table edge and 60cms in from the right edge, again facing from my table edge on turn three. The opponent is not made aware of this location, nor of the turn of arrival.
(2) On the turn of arrival the tunneller model is placed within 15cms of the location designated in the coordinates written down for the tunneller (They do not scatter). This is done at the start of the turn before teleports would be placed down. The tunneller, and the units it is carrying, are then treated like a normal formation from that point on, the tunneller cannot go back underground.
(3) If the tunneller is a Hellbore then it may seperate from the formation it is carrying because it is a WE transport and not a part of the carried formation. Termites and Moles ARE part of the formation they transported as must remain in coherancy with that formation, just like any other normal unit.
(4) You cannot hide that you are deploying Tunnellers, and you cannot hide the units being carried by the tunnellers, from your opponent. In fact you must inform your opponent you are using tunnellers, and show them to the opponent.

Looks good so far. I see that the Gorgon is listed as a walker. Is this correct?

I thinks it's because this tough beastie ignores difficult terrain...  :blues:  :cool:

Ok, that makes sense. I was thinking of it as a literal walker.   :p

Actually to model it correctly you now have to pull off it's tracks and put little legs on your Gorgon model to make it a Squat version :D  (Just kidding in case the little happy face didn't show up)

We are looking for a Squat name for the "Gorgon", because of our desire to keep the Squats well, Squats.

Oh scratch building....

Striker: SM Land Raider (Epic-40k version) cut off one of the Lascannons, and add a piece of card to make a sloped front from the old vision ports to the front end. We are still thinking what to change on the new LR to give it a Squat Look.

Gorgon: If you don't have the old Gorgon model, then get a Griffon, and don't mount the Mortar. Then add a small turret, the old Ork Battlewagon turret looks good.

Maybe, Mastodon? I'll keep working on names for it.

With the changes to Fanatic are we ever going to get a Squat list on the experimental rules section
BTW I really like the squat list we have here, after finally putting a force together from all the old sprues I have I am looking forward to trying it out

The present information as related to me by Jervis was....
(A) The Squats are Dead, the most they "might" do is give a stamp of approval to an unofficial list, whatever that means I still have not been able to figure out and I am afraid to ask
(B) They 'may' be doing a Demiurg list in the future based heavily on the old Squat background and List, so this may be what they turn into.

Thank you, did you see Thurgrim's Stronghold even further down, thus making it two Squat Lists we have here, and the third Grimmar's Stronghold should be up in a couple of days so be looking :O

Jaldon :oo

Why the different lists, are they all working from the same template just flavours of the Squats in the same way as Craftworlds.
I hope the Squats do get some sort of official stamp, making it more likely that tournies will use them, of course it doesnt stop using them at the club, but you always get whingers who wont play aginst anything  unpublished on GW sites.
One question with the collosus, I assume it can use the spotter by popping up the iron hawk and therefore being able to fire the collosus on sustained at anything a skimmer on pop up can normally see
