Codex - Inquisition Angry Edition

Introduction

This is an initiative to improve internal and external balancing of codices.

Every Angry Codex should be able to make the game more fun on its own. While ideally two angry codices will face each other, an angry codex should be able to play against both a normal codex and an angry codex.

The two most important rules are that angry codices should be fun to play with, which is obvious, but just as important, it must be fun to play against.

Disclaimer

Games Workshop in no way endorses any of the Angry Codices. No infringement is intended with this work, nor any other of the Angry Codices. The intent of the angry codices is NOT to make GW go out of business, but rather to improve the quality of the hobby, which leads to a happier and larger player base.

Editing

Feel free to edit wordings to improve readability. Add anything you like to any of the Angry Codices, except the Angry Necrons, Dark Eldar and Daemons, for these documents you should instead first argue in the discussion page before adding or changing anything. If someone objects to something you have written or changed, you should civilly discuss and prove why your idea is good and how it fits with fluff/is more balanced etc. etc. If no conclusion can be made then the Angry Pirate has the final say, if he does not say anything remove any changes from the official codex. If you don´t agree with an edit the Angry Pirate has made you can write in the talk page of the relevant talk page or in my page by clicking the first blue link. Angry Pirate (talk)

Detachments and Formations

Formations

Formation:

• 1-2 HQ
• 0-3 Elites
• 0-6 Troops

Restrictions:

• All models in this Formation must have the Ordo Xenos faction.

Special Rules:

• Expert Xenos Hunter: HQ choices with this special rule have the Preferred Enemy (Orks, Tau Empire, Necrons, Eldar, The Relentless Swarm) special rule.
• Objective Secured (non-HQ): All non-HQ units with this special rule have the Objective Secured special rule. A unit with this special rule controls objectives

Wargear of the Ordo Xenos

Special Issue Wargear

Digital Weapons

A model armed with digital weapons can re-roll a single failed To Wound roll in each Assault Phase.

Rosarius

A model armed with an rosarius has a 4+ invulnerable save.

Psybolt Ammunition

When a model armed with psybolt ammunition fires one of the following weapons:

- Bolt pistol

- Boltgun

- Storm bolter

- Heavy bolter

- Assault cannon

- Autocannon

- Hurricane bolter

Whether it is twin-linked or not, as long as all models in the same unit as the model firing the weapon are all armed with psybolt ammunition, add +1 to its Strength and the weapon gains the Soul Blaze special rule. This means, that if a character without psybolt ammunition joins a unit with psybolt ammunition the unit cannot make use of their psybolt ammunition until he leaves their unit or is destroyed.

Rad Grenades

During a turn in which a unit equipped with rad grenades launches an assault, or is assaulted, the enemy unit(s) suffer a -1 penalty to their Toughness until the end of the qwphase (this does affect the victims’ Instant Death threshold).

Psychotroke Grenades

When a unit equipped with psychotroke grenades launches an assault, or is assaulted, roll a D6 for each enemy unit being assaulted or assaulting to see what the effect is. The effects of psychotroke gas only ever last for the duration of a single Assault phase.

Note that the descriptions included below have been based on the recorded responses of human subjects – alien races will, of course, react in the own, inimitable fashion (though the game effect is unchanged).

D6	Result
1	What’s this? Smells a bit odd.: No effect.
2	Suddenly, it’s all so clear. The fighting, your allies, that mortal wound – everything’s just a huge cosmic joke! Best to sit down and have a good laugh about it: The enemy unit is hit automatically in this Assault phase. They can still fight, but with a maximum of 1 Attack per model (to represent their maddened flailing).
3	Hah! Those enemies aren’t real, they’re just an illusion – you’re not falling for that!: You re-roll failed To Hit rolls against the enemy unit during this Assault phase.
4	They’re horrible! Your darkest fears have been given form and are coming to kill you!: The enemy unit is reduced to Leadership 2 for the remainder of the Assault phase.
5	The world is spinning – everything is all jumbled up. It’s all you can do to keep your feet: The enemy unit is reduced to Initiative 1 for the remainder of the Assault phase.
6+	They say they’re your friends, but they’re not – they’re out to get you. Best get them first!: Every model in the enemy unit must immediately take an Initiative test. Any models that fail must strike blows against their own unit during this Assault phase, rather than against the enemy, exactly as if they were on your side. Wounds inflicted must be allocated amongst the entire unit, not just amongst unaffected models. Unsaved wounds caused by affected models count towards your close combat total. Units composed of single models re-roll this result.

Psyk-out Grenades

Shooting

Psyk-out grenades may be fired as a shooting attack using the following profile, only one model per phase in each unit may make use of the ranged profile.

Range	S	AP	Type
8"	2	-	Assault 1, Blast, Psi-shock

Psi-shock: If a unit containing at least one Psyker (i.e. a model with the Psyker, Brotherhood of Psykers/Sorcerers or Psychic Pilot special rule) is hit by a weapon with this special rule, randomly determine one Psyker model in that unit suffers a Perils of the Warp in addition to any other damage.

Assault

Models with the Psyker, Brotherhood of Psykers/Sorcerers or Psychic Pilot special rules that are charging a unit including one or more models equipped with psyk-out grenades do not gain bonus Attacks from charging. However, if the charged unit was already locked in combat from a previous turn, or has gone to ground, these grenades have no effect.

Krak Grenades

Shooting

Krak grenades may be fired as a shooting attack using the following profile, only one model per phase in each unit may make use of the ranged profile.

Range	S	AP	Type
8"	6	4	Assault 1

Assault

When fighting a unit including a Vehicle and/or a Monstrous Creature any number of models armed with krak grenades may make a single attack with the profile below instead of attacking normally:

Range	S	AP	Type
-	6	4	Melee

Frag Grenades

Shooting

Frag grenades may be fired as a shooting attack using the following profile, only one model per phase in each unit may make use of the ranged profile:

Range	S	AP	Type
8"	3	-	Assault 1, Blast

Assault

Models equipped with assault grenades don’t suffer the penalty to their Initiative for charging enemies through difficult terrain, but fight at their normal Initiative in the ensuing combat.

Servo-skull

Servo-skulls are treated as counters, rather than units, for all intents and purposes. They are placed on the battlefield after deployment areas have been determined, but before any forces are deployed. Each servo-skull can be placed anywhere on the battlefield outside the enemy’s deployment zone. Once deployed, servo-skulls do not move.

Enemy infiltrators cannot set up within 12" of a servo-skull. Similarly, enemy scouts cannot use their pre-game move to approach to within 12" of a servo-skull. A friendly unit arriving by Deep Strike rolls one D6 less for scatter if it aims to arrive within 12" of a Servo-skull. Likewise, friendly blast templates placed within 12" of a servo-skull roll one D6 less for scatter.

If an enemy unit moves within 6" of a servo-skull, the Servo-skull is removed from play.

Storm Shield

A model armed with a storm shield has a 3+ invulnerable save. In addition, a model equipped with a storm shield can never claim the +1 Attack gained for being armed with two Melee weapons in an assault.

Armour

Terminator Armour

Terminator armour confers a 2+ Armour Save and a 5+ invulnerable save. Models in Terminator armour have the Bulky, Deep Strike and Relentless special rules, and may not make Sweeping Advances. A model upgraded to have Terminator armour increase their Toughness characteristic by 1. (this bonus is already included in the profiles of models that have Terminator armour as part of their standard wargear).
