Editing Machina Dei (section)

=Tiers=
Units in Machina Dei all fall into one of three tiers: Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary. Each Faction has units in each tier.
===Primary Tier===
The Primary Tier is the most powerful of all tiers. Primary tier units are the upmost limit of power for a faction, and for many factions it is the first thing you think about when you think of them. It is rare for more than a one of these to be in an army, and many armies do just fine without one.

===Secondary Tier===
These are the Mid-Level units. They often form the bulk of an army's capability, Almost all armies have a good handful of these.
===Tertiary Tier===
These are the weakest units that still have some augmentation to them. While they're still much more powerful than ordinary civilians, they are vastly inferior to other tiers. Where they make up for it is numbers. Most armies will have more Tertiary units than any other type. In addition, Because of their numbers, Tertiary units can form formations.
===Fodder===
'''M3 W1 L4 I3 S1''' 2pts

Mundane humans with mundane equipment, completely devoid any divine or supernatural blessings. These units pale in comparison to those of the tertiary tier and are only used in vast quantities. They count as a "quaternary" tier for the sake of to-hit rolls, but deal damage as though they were tertiary units. (thus, it does not require five successful attacks from fodder to wound a single tertiary unit)
They are considered tertiary for the sake of effects that do not specifically state otherwise. Every ten models count as one for the purpose of making attacks and for buying equipment. Fodder take morale checks after losing 1/4 of the swarm. Fodder can use all of the equipment available to a Tertiary of their faction, but none of the  Tertiary's Options of Special Rules, unless those are army-wide.
