Da Dread Workshops and Da Jorney Da Dread Workshops and da jorney Credit to: Andy Chambers, Gavin Thorpe, Rick Priestley, Andy Kettlewell, Andy Kettlewell for creating Gorkamorka and Hunt da Dread mission which made creations of Deff dreads much easier. Made by: PauliusTheMad This falls under: Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International (CC BY-NC 4.0) Note: This is conversion of now discontinued Games Workshop’s game Gorkamorka (Also known as mad max with orks) however instead of usual warbands of orks, muties and grots this is focused on Meks traveling in great space hulks and space ships having some off time and enternaiment by constructing various machiens and fighting one another in the pits...as well as other locations in the future... “Travellin' through space is boring. Well, boring unless da hulk yer on is full of dem gene-sneakers, or a base fer da chaos lads wiv da spikes, or already has Boyz on it. Or if humie lootas come callin', that's always good fer a bit a sport. Or unless yer have a mutiny or two to pass da time, or unless strange fings start happenin', which dey usually do when yer out in da warp. One time we had some bloody great ugly fing come straight out of Weird Lugwort's 'ed! It butchered half da lads, that was pretty entertainin'. Come ter fink of it, space is a pretty good larf. And that's before yer find yerself a nice world ta crush!” - Bigmaw, Ork Runtherd. Somewhere out in deep space there are uncountable numbers of big and small ork krafts, ones they call kruizers and roks, as well as multiple space hulk infested with the greenskins, and those who reside here tend to get a bit bored living there, thus various bloody and violent games come into existence, and one of them would be known to the poor imperial schoolars who saw them and managed to transmit the message before being slain of “Dread WARS” Deff dread: 50 Teef (without weapons). Some spanners wishing to become accepted as proper meks will cobble together heafty machnes of death using whatever scrap and parts they can come across on their space ship or space hulk. Once done they will find a painboy willing to help them out to implant some poor ork into the deff dread, from where they can go an reck havock in the pits. M WS BS S T W I A Ld 5 -* -* 5 NA** NA -* -* -* * These statistics are based on the dread’s driver. ** Toughness of the driver is kept in mind for certain armor brake effects. Deff Dread is treated as Veihcle for puropose of ramming. Movement with deff dreads: Movement of deff dreads is done either on feet, wheels or tracks. Tracked versions is treated like tracked veihcle for purposes of movement (but without thruster unless such attachment is given to it), and dreads movement characterstic is increased to 6 Deff Dreads with feet May turn up to 90 degrees two times, after moving 1” forwards. When using thrusters, Dreads with legs may only move in a straight line. Dreads with wheels move like normal veihcles, but may move with thrusters as normal. Deff dreads may be fitted with: Dread guns, Dread Melee weapons and Twin Linked Guns. Dread may carry two gunz or dread gunz and two dread melee weapons. Deff dreads may also be upgraded with these gubins: Da Armored Legz: Increase leg armor value by 1 point. May be applied once. It shows ups in many ways from bits of scrap bound to the legs, to armored skirt to even some mad meks attaching small force fields to the legs of the dread. Extra Armor plates: Work like same gubbinz for trukks (Rulebook page 60 in da roolz), but only applies to hull and engine hits. May be applied three times. Usually just patchwork armor, yet some find other ways inprove their dreads resitstence with various trophies. Clean arm Pistons: Inceases dreads Strength by one. May be bought twice. Shroom-oil injection: A brew that is usually used to oil up all the joins gives dread some nice smoke when used in the engine. Once per battle may expel lots of black smoke to give penalty of –1 to be shot at. Extra Clips: Some orks love to shoot as much dakka as possible, thus meks like to fit em with some extra ammo. Ignore first failed ammo roll on the gun which you sellect while applying this gubbin. Loud Speaka’: Some meks install speakers of extra size on their dreads so that they are heard loud and clear from the bowls of the ship. Also comes in useful when trying to bait in bug boyz. Add 2 to rolls to be loudest during missions that use it. Magnet box: A large magnet attached to some part of the deff dread so it can carry scrap materials. Dread can now carry 3 scrap counters (instead of 0 due to lack of hands). Boosta/Thrusta: Huge thruster is fitted to the deff dread, allowing it thrusting forwards like a trukk or buggy. Deff Dread Driver: When Deff Dread is made an ork is usually installed into it immediatly, orks that are installed are most often ones that lost their limbs to the point where cybernetics just won’t cut it. Thus during course of the campaign one is free to get another deff dread and put in any unfortunate ork inside it (only meks of mek gangs aren’t allowed such treatment). However most such orks still have most of their head and body left, thus you are free to try and install Dok’s Suprise and Kranium implants into a deff dread driver with mek and painboy working together for ultimate end result of mad ork genius. Note: Instead of Kustom Thrusta Boosta ork is given Kustom Teleporta Pack and instead of Fungus Breath Lungs they are given Kustom mikro force field. Treat Kustom Cybork body as second layer of armor for rolls where weapon penetrates the hull and damages the driver (such as some hull damage effects). Other cybernetics that have effects on orks look are mimicked on deff dread exterior as well (such as horns and iron mask) Kustom Teleporta Pack: An odd creation of the mek boys, allowing ork to teleport out of a almost destroyed deff dread. If Deff Dread is destroyed but driver is not taken out of action, Deff Dread driver is not injured on a roll of 1-4 and instead is hurt only on roll of 1 (as pilot was too dim or distracted to push the button). Kustom Mikro Force Field: A small bit of wires and bits that creates a personal force field for the driver, allowing them to avoid hits that penetrate the hull and get inside on an armor roll of 5 Special rule - Post battle effect: If deff dread is destroyed due to driver being taken out (Such as Hull hits), on a roll of 1-3 driver suffers a serious injury. If Deff dread is destroyed, Driver is injured on a roll of 1-4 while dread rolls on veichle damage table on a roll of 1-3. Deff Dread Permanent Damage Table: 11-13 Destroyed: The Deff 33-34 Anoyinning clickin’: Due Dread lies in ruin. to some bent pipe the Spanner may try to dread squakes all the salage materials worth time.

  • SPACE HULK a Warhammer 40,000 Novel by Gav Thorpe
    The Black Library Page 1 SPACE HULK A Warhammer 40,000 novel By Gav Thorpe In the darkness of a derelict space hulk, the faith and fury of the Blood Angels are tested to the limit. In this companion novel to the Space Hulk game, a battle is raging between Terminators of the Blood Angels Space Marines and a macabre alien race. But their resolve and skill is pitted against something that haunts their past – the thousands of foes they face are the same creatures that six centuries ago nearly decimated the Chapter. As a survivor of the earlier massacre, Sergeant Lorenzo has more to prove than any other. Carrying the stigma of the failure, he now fights for personal deliverance and to redeem the Chapter’s honour. About the Author Prior to becoming a freelance writer, Gav Thorpe worked for Games Workshop as lead background designer, overseeing and contributing to the Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 worlds. He has written numerous novels and short stories set in the fictional worlds of Games Workshop, including the Time of Legends 'The Sundering' series, the seminal Dark Angels novel Angels of Darkness, and the Last Chancers omnibus. He lives in Nottingham, UK, with his mechanical hamster, Dennis.

    Dreadfleet - teszt Közzétette: www.flagmagazin.hu (https://flagmagazin.hu) Dreadfleet - teszt 2011 október 15. Flag Szöveg méret Mentés 0 Még nincs értékelve Mérték A Dreadfleet névre keresztelt társasjáték jóformán el?jelek nélkül, a semmib?l bukkant el?. Furcsa, kicsit nehezen értelmezhet? üzletpolitika ez a Games Workshop részér?l, de korántsem el?ször vetik be ezt a módszert a vásárlók elb?völésére. Elég, ha csak néhány évet ugrunk vissza az id?ben, amikor is piacra dobták a Space Hulk felújított, és vizuálisan felturbózott változatát, kis példányszámban és egy pár hetes, de annál intenzívebb marketingkampány keretében. 1. oldal (összes: 4) Dreadfleet - teszt Közzétette: www.flagmagazin.hu (https://flagmagazin.hu) A szisztéma akkor bevált, a játékot szétkapkodták, mint a leértékelt cukrot, így végs? soron a GW bebizonyította, hogy ennél nincs is szüksége többre. Persze, nagy el?nye van a cégnek a versenytársakkal szemben, hiszen hatalmas rajongótábor áll mögöttük, akiket remekül lehet fanatizálni. A költséghatékonyságra sem lehet panasz, hiszen egy ilyen társasjáték esetében mindössze egyetlen dobozról van szó, kiegészít? szabálykönyvek, a végtelenségig gy?jthet? figurák és a hobbijukra rengeteget áldozó játékosok nélkül. Így aztán a Dreadfleet is ugyanazt az utat járja most be, mint a Space Hulk annak idején. Villámgyors kampány, a limitált példányszám er?teljes kihangsúlyozása, és a már jól ismert Warhammer univerzumról való újabb rókab?r lenyúzása. De tegyük most félre egy picit a körülményeket, az el?zményeket, és koncentráljunk magára a játékra, hiszen mégiscsak azon van a hangsúly. A Dreadfleet tulajdonképpen hiánypótló szerepet is betölthetne, hiszen a tengeri ütközetek megelevenítésével egy olyan szegmensét tárja a Warhammer Fantasy világának kedvel?i elé, amir?l ezt megel?z?en nem sok szó esett.

  • White Dwarf Index
    NOTES ON THIS INDEX This Index lists the most important articles that have been published in White Dwarf from issue 68 to issue 251. There are several points that I would like to make about this Index. • The Index only lists the main articles published in each issue, it does not list the Games Workshop News, Mail Order or What’s Happening at the GW Stores (as features in these articles will be out of date and largely irrelevant). • From Issues 110 onwards all of the articles are categorised according to which game they are relevant to, there is a column for Warhammer 40,000 (commonly referred to as WH40K) articles, a column for Warhammer Fantasy Battle (referred to as WHFB or just Warhammer), one for Various Games (all of the other games WD features), one for Terrain articles (just terrain, not painting guides) and one for Miscellaneous Articles and Battle reports. For issues 102 and earlier there are only three columns. One for Various Games that are featured (including Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Fantasy Battle) one for Roleplay Games like Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay (commonly referred to as WFRP) and lastly, one for Miscellaneous Articles and Battle reports. This is because, back then, there wasn’t always a WH40K and/or WHFB article. There was however, a plethora of other games produced by other companies as well as lots of Roleplay games that are just never seen now. If things carry on as they are, I might have to change the columns from Issues 248 onward to just include just WH40K, WHFB and Miscellaneous Articles, because that’s what White Dwarf seems to be completely dedicating itself to these days… • Since Games Workshop re-releases games every so often (generally Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Fantasy Battle), articles about such games are only relevant to the edition of the game that was around at the time when that issue was printed.

Secondly, and this is where I must have gone insane, update the game’s mechanics to modern tabletop wargame design standards in terms of turn structure, activation and morale rules.
