'''THE ANGRY INITIATIVE'''
'''THE ANGRY INITIATIVE'''


The Angry Initiative is about making more fair and fun codices. The core principle of the Angry Initiative is letting you play with the miniatures you own and love, and punishing people as little as possible for making the "wrong" modelling and purchasing strategies. All fluff and pictures are left out, this makes room for all Forgeworld units and supplemental rules in the main codex, meaning you only need one book for each faction you play.

'''BALANCING'''
'''BALANCING'''


The balancing system is based on 10 Space Marines with a Sergeant, the Objective Secured, 6+ Feel No Pain special rules and a single Tactical Doctrines available, as being worth 130 pts, a plasma gun for said Squad being worth 15 pts, a lascannon for said squad being worth 20 pts and a Rhino for said Squad being worth an additional 35 pts. Worth meaning that the amount of situations in which one taking the option is better is not overwhelming compared to the amount of situations in which the options is worse. For example 130 full Tactical Squads in Rhinos should be good in as many situations as 165 full Tactical Squads without Rhinos.

Units and options are put into a points range between a point value where they counter all the things they should counter (light armoured anti armour units should counter heavy armoured anti armour units and medium armoured anti armour units)  and get countered by all the things they should be countered by (light armoured anti armour units should get countered by light armoured anti light units). They are moved around within this range based on results from playtesting and debates on the discussion pages of codices. Note that while calcuations have been made for the proper point range for many units and options, others have been placed based on the notions of what units are being played by competetive players in 40k at the moment.

==THE IMMORTAL LEGIONS==
==FORCES OF THE NECRONS==
'''The following section details rules information that describe the forces used by the Necrons – their deathless warriors, their incomprehensively advanced vehicles and the macabre characters that lead them to battle. This section will enable you to forge your collection of Necrons miniatures into an army ready to fight battles in your games of Warhammer 40,000.'''
===CHOOSING AN ARMY===
When choosing an army to play a game of Warhammer 40,000, there are two main ways
of organising your collection. These are the Unbound method, which means taking
no Detachments with the exception of Formations, instead you may include any Datasheets and Formations you like, and the Battle-forged method, which requires all units to be part of a Detachment or Formation. Both are described fully in ''Warhammer 40,000: The Rules''.
 
The Decurion is a special type of Detachment. Unlike the Detachments shown in ''Warhammer 40,000: The Rules'', it has a Force Organisation Chart whose slots are a combination of specific Formations and Army List Entries instead of Battlefield Roles. When no army list entries are presented in an entry, the entry is a Formation, which can be found at the end of the Datasheets section. However, it still has compulsory and optional elements, as well as Restrictions and Command Benefits, just like any other Detachment.
 
Although units cannot normally belong to more than one Detachment, units from a Formation that is part of a Decurion are an exception. They count as part of both their Formation and the Detachment, and have all associated Command Benefits and special rules. If your Warlord is part of a Formation or an Army List Entry that makes up part of a Decurion, that entire Decurion is your Primary Detachment.
====DECURION====
'''RESTRICTIONS:'''
 
This Detachment must include at least one Core choice and one Command choice. It may any number of additional Core choices and up to one Auxiliary choice for each Core choice taken as part of this Detachment. All Command, Core and Auxiliary choices must be chosen from those presented below.
 
'''COMMAND BENEFITS:'''
*'''Phaeron:''' If your army contains three or more Decurions you may nominate one Lord of War choice chosen as part of the Command Choice from a Decurion. Friendly models in the same unit as the nominated model may Run even if they have the Godless Killing Machine special rule.
*'''Nemesor:''' If your Warlord is the Lord of War choice chosen as part of the Command Choice from this Detachment they may choose their Warlord Trait instead of randomly generating it.
*'''Redundancy Protocols:''' You may roll an additional D6 and remove one of the lowest results when rolling for the Reserve Commander Command Benefit and the Line Commander special rule for each remaining Lord in this Detachment taken as part of this Detachment's Command Choice.
*'''Reserve Commander:''' Roll 3D6 at the start of each of your turns to determine the command range in inches of the Lord of War choice from this Detachment's Command Choice in this Detachment. Units in this Detachment count as being within the command range of a model from their Formation while within the command range of the Lord of War choice from this Detachment.

INTRODUCTION

Wake your slumbering legions Necron commander, the time of the young races is at its end. Your ancient dynasty has finally reawoken after untold millenia, construct an army of the relentless and robotic Necrons and reconquer the stars Necron Warlord!

DISCLAIMER

Games Workshop in no way endorses any of the Angry Codices. No infringement is intended with the Angry Codices. The intent of the Angry Initiative is NOT to make Games Workshop go out of business, but rather to bring the game part of the hobby up to speed with the most detailed setting of any game and arguably also the best miniatures of any miniature wargame.

THE ANGRY INITIATIVE

The Angry Initiative is about making more fair and fun codices. The core principle of the Angry Initiative is letting you play with the miniatures you own and love and punishing people as little as possible for making the "wrong" modelling and purchasing strategies. All fluff and pictures are left out, this makes room for all Forgeworld units and supplemental rules in the main codex, meaning you only need one book for each faction you play. The codices can be found here.

BALANCING

The balancing system is based on 10 Space Marines with a Sergeant, the Objective Secured, 6+ Feel No Pain special rules and a single Tactical Doctrines available, as being worth 130 pts, a plasma gun for said Squad being worth 15 pts, a lascannon for said squad being worth 20 pts and a Rhino for said Squad being worth an additional 35 pts. Worth meaning that the amount of situations in which taking the option is better is not overwhelming compared to the amount of situations in which the options is worse. For example, 130 full Tactical Squads in Rhinos should be good in as many situations as 165 full Tactical Squads without Rhinos.

Units and options are put into a points range between a point value where they counter all the things they should counter (light armoured anti-armour units should counter heavy armoured anti-armour units and medium armoured anti-armour units) and get countered by all the things they should be countered by (light armoured anti-armour units should get countered by light armoured anti-light units). They are moved around within this range based on results from playtesting and debates on the discussion pages of codices. Note that while calculations have been made for the proper point range for many units and options, others have been placed based on the notions of what units are being played by competitive players in 40k at the moment.

The intent is not for the costs shown to be the final costs, but rather the start of a discussion which will eventually lead to the most balanced codices possible within the framework of a game where units are meant to counter and be countered by other units. The PDF codices are updated at most once each month to allow you to get a better feel for how good units are before they are changed. Clarification and errors in grammar and wording is changed as they are found on 1d4chan.

FORCES OF THE NECRONS

The following section details rules information that describe the forces used by the Necrons – their deathless warriors, their incomprehensively advanced vehicles and the macabre characters that lead them to battle. This section will enable you to forge your collection of Necrons miniatures into an army ready to fight battles in your games of Warhammer 40,000.

CHOOSING AN ARMY

When choosing an army to play a game of Warhammer 40,000, there are two main ways of organising your collection. These are the Unbound method, which means taking no Detachments with the exception of Formations, instead you may include any Datasheets and Formations you like, and the Battle-forged method, which requires all units to be part of a Detachment or Formation. Both are described fully in Warhammer 40,000: The Rules.

The Decurion is a special type of Detachment. Unlike the Detachments shown in Warhammer 40,000: The Rules, it has a Force Organisation Chart whose slots are a combination of specific Formations and Army List Entries instead of Battlefield Roles. When no army list entries are presented in an entry, the entry is a Formation, which can be found at the end of the Datasheets section. However, it still has compulsory and optional elements, as well as Restrictions and Command Benefits, just like any other Detachment.

Although units cannot normally belong to more than one Detachment, units from a Formation that is part of a Decurion are an exception. They count as part of both their Formation and the Detachment, and have all associated Command Benefits and special rules. If your Warlord is part of a Formation or an Army List Entry that makes up part of a Decurion, that entire Decurion is your Primary Detachment.

APPENDIX

This section of the book details many of the rules for using an army of the Necrons in your games of Warhammer 40,000.

LEVELS OF ALLIANCE

Models with the Dark Eldar faction treat Allies of Convenience as Battle Brothers for the purpose of Warlord traits.

Models with the Dark Eldar Faction have the following levels of alliance with other units from different Factions in the same army:

Battle Brothers: Necrons.

Allies of Convenience: None. If your Warlord is armed with mindshackle scarabs roll a D6 at the start of the game on a 2+ Adepta Sororitas, Adeptus Custodes, Adeptus Mechanicus, Aeronautica Imperialis, Chaos Space Marines without the Daemon, Mark of Khorne, Mark of Tzeentch, Mark of Nurgle and/or Mark of Slaanesh special rules, Grey Knights, Imperial Guard, Inquisition, Legion of the Damned, Officio Assasinorum, Orks, Sisters of Silence, Space Marines, Space Wolves, Tau Empire all change their level of alliance with all Necron models in your army to Allies of Convenience. On the roll of 1 nothing happens and the levels of alliance remain what they would normally be.

Desperate Allies: Chaos Space Marines without the Daemon, Mark of Khorne, Mark of Tzeentch, Mark of Nurgle, Mark of Slaanesh special rules, Orks, Tau Empire.

Come the Apocalypse: Adepta Sororitas, Adeptus Custodes, Adeptus Mechanicus, Aeronautica Imperialis, Chaos Daemons, Chaos Space Marines, Craftworld Eldar, Dark Eldar, Eldar Corsairs, Eldar Exodites, Genestealer Cults, Grey Knights, Harlequins, Imperial Guard, Inquisition, Legion of the Damned, Mutants and Heretics, Officio Assasinorum, Sisters of Silence, Space Marines, Space Wolves, Tyranids. 


- Chaos Space Marine models with the Daemon special rule or one of the four marks of Chaos are treated as Come the Apocalypse. 
- Armies of the Imperium and Orks are treated as Allies of Convenience if your Warlord is armed with Mindshackle Scarabs.

SPECIAL RULES

A Dark Eldar army uses a number of special rules that are common to several of its units, which are collected here for your convenience. Special rules that are unique to particular units are presented in the relevant unit entry instead. Other, more common rules are simply listed by name – these are all described in full in the Special Rules section of Warhammer 40,000: The Rules.

WE'LL BE BACK

Whenever a Necron model with this rule is removed from the table, put a marker next to its unit (laying the model down beside its unit works nicely). At the start of each of your turns, go through your units one at a time, roll 1d6 per We'll Be Back counter the unit has, for each 5+ rolled restore one of the models to (un)life with one wound remaining. Place the resurrected model within 2" of any model in the unit which was already there before the start of your turn. Finally remove all the models which were not restored to life. When the last model with We'll Be Back from a unit is removed or if a unit loses We'll Be Back for any reason; remove all We'll Be Back counters from the unit.

GODLESS KILLING MACHINE

A model with this rule automatically fails cover saves and cannot make Run moves. However, it can shoot with Heavy, Salvo and Ordnance weapons, counting as stationary even if it moved in the previous Movement phase. It is also allowed to charge in the same turn it fires a Heavy, Ordnance, Rapid Fire or Salvo weapon.

LIVING METAL

A model with this rule ignores the effects of the "Crew Shaken" result of the vehicle damage table.

ARMOURY OF THE ANCIENTS

TECHNOARCANA

CHRONOMETRON

One use per turn. A chronometron can be used to re-roll a single To Hit, To Wound or saving throw for the unit of the model carrying the Chronometron.

CUBE OF DARKNESS

One Use Only. A Cube of Darkness may be used after an enemy has successfully manifested a psychic power, instead of rolling for Deny the Witch, roll a D6 on the roll of a 2+ the psychic power is denied, otherwise resolve the psychic power as normal. After a Cube of Darkness has been resolved roll a D6 for each psychic power in effect, on a 2+ the psychic power ceases to have effect. Roll a D6 for each unit of summoned Daemons, on a 6+ the unit is immediately destroyed.

DISPERSION SHIELD

A model armed with a Dispersion Shield has a 4+ invulnerable save. Any time a model with this rule succesfully makes an armour or invulnerable save against a ranged attack, choose one enemy unit within 6" that unit immedietly suffers one hit using the profile of the weapon fired at the model carrying the Dispersion Shield. The hit counts as coming from the model with the shield, for the purposes of cover saves etc.

ETHER CRYSTAL

Any unit arriving by Deep Strike within 18" of the bearer suffers d6 Strength 8 AP 5 hits with no cover saves allowed, this is cumulative meaning if a unit Deep Strikes within the range of 4 Ether Crystals they suffer 4d6 S 8 AP 5 hits with no cover saves allowed.

GAZE OF FLAME

A gaze of flame counts as a flamer and defensive grenades.

HARP OF DISSONANCE

One use only. At the start of your shooting phase, choose one enemy vehicle within 12" and line of sight, with six or less Hull Points remaining. A vehicle which has been targeted by a harp of dissonance reduces its Front-,Side-, and Rear Armour by 2 points, to a minimum of armour value 9 in any one side, this effect lasts until the start of your opponents turn.

LIGHTNING FIELD

Lightning fields can only be used for Overwatch reactions.

Range S AP Type
24" 8 5 Assault 30

MINDSHACKLE SCARABS

At the start of the Assault phase, after assault moves have been made, but before any blows are struck, randomly select an enemy model in base contact with the bearer of the mindshackle scarabs. That model must immediately take a Leadership test on 3D6. If the test is passed, the mindshackle scarabs have no effect. If the test is failed, the victim strikes out at his allies. Instead of attacking normally, he inflicts D3 hits on his own unit when it is his turn to attack. Unless there are no other models in his unit in which case he will inflict the hits upon himself. If the target is in a challenge the target must hit itself. These hits are resolved at the victim's strength, and benefit from any abilities and penalties from his close combat weapons (the controller of the mindshackle scarabs chooses which, if there is a choice). If the victim is still alive, it returns to normal once all blows in that round of combat have been struck.

If your Warlord is armed with mindshackle scarabs roll a D6 at the start of the game on a 2+ Adepta Sororitas, Adeptus Custodes, Adeptus Mechanicus, Aeronautica Imperialis, Chaos Space Marines without the Daemon, Mark of Khorne, Mark of Tzeentch, Mark of Nurgle and/or Mark of Slaanesh special rules, Grey Knights, Imperial Guard, Inquisition, Legion of the Damned, Officio Assasinorum, Orks, Sisters of Silence, Space Marines, Space Wolves, Tau Empire all change their level of alliance with all Necron models in your army to Allies of Convenience. On the roll of 1 nothing happens and the levels of alliance remain what they would normally be.

NANOSCARAB REPAIR SWARM

Models in the same unit as this model pass We'll Be Back- and It Will Not Die rolls on a 4+ rather than a 5+.

NEBULOSCOPE

A model armed with a Nebuloscope can fire at full ballistic skill the turn after it has Jinked.

NIGHTMARE SHROUD

One use only. A nightmare shroud can be used during the shooting phase instead of firing a shooting weapon. Choose one unengaged enemy unit within 18" of the model using the nightmare shroud. That unit must take a Morale test or fall back immediately. If the unit passes this morale test its LD is permanently reduced by one. A unit may have its leadership reduced repeatedly in this way by multiple nightmare shrouds.

ORB OF IMMORTALITY

A unit containing an Orb of Immortality can make Feel No Pain rolls against wounds with the Instant Death special rule. This does not allow them to make Feel No Pain rolls against wounds caused by Destroyer weapons.

PARIAH PHALANX

For each model armed with a pariah phalanx in your army a single Lychguard Phalanx armed with warscythes in your army may be upgraded to Pariahs. All Lychguard in the chosen unit gain the Adamantium Will and Fear special rules.

RESURRECTION ORB

Once per game the bearer of a Resurrection Orb can do one of the following things:

  • After the bearer's unit has made its We'll Be Back rolls, but before removing the unit's We'll Be Back counters, you may immediately re-roll the failed We'll Be Back rolls.
  • Before removing the last remaining model in the bearer's unit with We'll Be Back as a casualty you may make a We'll Be Back roll for each We'll Be Back counter the bearer's unit currently has, after doing this remove all We'll Be Back counters from the unit.
  • If the bearer is embarked upon a Catacomb Command Barge he can use either ability upon any friendly unit within 6", although the Resurrection Orb can still only be used once.

SEISMIC CRUCIBLE

Any unit assaulting the Cryptek or his unit count as moving through difficult- and dangerous terrain while assaulting, no saves are allowed against wounds caused by the dangerous terrain tests inflicted by a seismic crucible. This reduces the units Initiative to 1 in the assault phase unless the unit has assault grenades.

SHADOWLOOM

If a model armed with a Shadowloom does not fire any weapons or move Flat Out during your shooting phase it gains a 2+ cover save until the start of your next shooting phase.

SHIELD VANES

A model armed with shield vanes has a 3+ Armour Save.

SOLAR PULSE

One use only. The holder of a Solar Pulse may choose to activate it at the start of any game turn. If night fighting is in effect it ceases to be in effect for the remainder of the game turn. If night fighting is not in effect, it comes into effect for the rest of the game turn.

TESSERACT LABYRINTH

Once per game a model armed with a Tesseract Labyrinth can exchange all of his attacks for a special Tesseract Labyrinth attack at Initiative 1. No roll to hit is made, choose an enemy model in base contact with the wielder, roll a D6 if the result is higher than the models current number of wounds it is removed from the table with no saves of any kind allowed.

PHYLACTERY

A model armed with a phylactery adds +1 to It Will Not Die rolls. A model armed with a Phylactery gains the Eternal Warrior special rule.

VEIL OF DARKNESS

A Cryptek and any unit they join have the Deep Strike special rule. When the Cryptek and his unit Deep Strikes, they do not scatter. During your opponent's end phase the Cryptek and its unit may, even if engaged in close combat, be removed from the table and moved into ongoing reserves.

WHIP COILS

A model equipped with whip coils adds +3 to its Initiative characteristic.

VEHICLE WARGEAR

QUANTUM SHIELDING

Models with Quantum Shielding have two armor values listed for some facings. Until the model has suffered an unsaved penetrating hit it uses the higher value for this facing, once it has suffered a penetrating hit it must instead use the lower value. An entire unit's attack is resolved simultaneously for this purpose. For example, if a unit of Space Marine Devestators with 3 Las-cannons and one Multi-melta shoot at a ghost ark which has yet to suffer a penetrating hit, the entire unit will count the vehicle as using the higher armor value even if you roll a penetrating hit with the Multi-melta before rolling for the Las-cannons.
