The BrikWars Forums

I'm revising my homebrew armylist yet again (mostly wording but some units and mechanics will be getting tweaked) and I thought I might as well share it!
For reference, you can check the '4th edition' through the link in my sig to compare changes.
I'm interested in constructive feedback and proofreading as well (I tend to have a blindspot for my errors and most of you are native speakers).
Once I'm done with all the reworking, I will probably end up posting a general changes list to make it easier to see what has been altered.

To start things off, I'll begin with Imperial infantry and cavalry units (warning: mass amount of text incoming)

Workers

Ever-vigilant, these craftsmen help the Imperial army in times of war by building fortifications and repairing broken equipment. They are rather weak in combat and as such are better suited for support.

Stats:

Worker:
1d6-1 skill
5 inch movement
1d6-2 armor

Armed with simple tools (use rate 3, 1d6 damage, close combat).


Swordsmen

The main infantry of the Empire: as all Imperial troops, they are well disciplined, albeit poor in terms of damage. Best used for locking opposing melee units in combat.

Stats:

Swordsman
1d6 skill
5 inch movement
4 armor

Officer
1d6+1 skill
5 inch movement
1d10 armor

Special:
• Unity: Troops are disciplined enough to remain as a squad even if they lose their officer.

Armed with swords (use 2, 1d6 damage, close combat), and shields (use 2, 1d6 armor while parrying). The officer wears armor (+2 armor).




Crossbowmen

Imperial ranged troops. They are worthless in melee but compliment swordsmen very well.

Stats:

Crossbowman

1d6 skill
5 inch movement
4 armor

Officer

1d6+1 skill
5 inch movement
1d10 armor

Special:
• Unity: Troops are disciplined enough to remain as a squad even if they lose their officer.

Armed with crossbows (use 3, 1d6+1 damage, 10 inch range).


Löwengard

Elite Imperial foot soldiers; usually used as retinue for commander or royalty. They have higher damage output and better base armor, but they lack the sometimes very useful armor bonus shielded minifigs have.

Stats:

Löwengard

1d6+2 skill
6 inch movement
5 armor

Löwengard Captain

1d6+2 skill
6 inch movement
1d10+1 armor

Special:
• Unity: Troops are disciplined enough to remain as a squad even if they lose their officer.
• If the hero has no action but a Löwengard minifig has, it can redshirt willingly for the hero unit.

Armed with halberds (ur3, 1d6+2 damage, close range).


Battle Cleric

They are blessed minifigs who weave the winds of magik for healing purposes mostly, but they got other tricks too. Namely a huge flanged mace. Battle-clerics are semi-heroic units that easily overpower individual troops but can be overwhelmed by squads. Probably the best way to use them is have it join the front row of a squad then attack/tithe accordingly.

Stats:

1d6 skill
5 inch movement
4 armor
2 hit points

Special:
• Magik (clerical): clerics can use magik as heroes use their feats. Spells they're good at: Restoring hit points, Resurrecting minifigs, Dispelling foul magiks, Casting defensive barrier (as a reaction), Repel Undead.

Armed with flails (ur3, 2d6 damage, close range)

DWARVES

Hailing from the Northern mountain range of Karak-Nar, the Dwarves are the most respected allies of the Empire.

Crimson Guard

The Crimson Guard are stout warriors who can take a lot of punishment and therefore are ideal to escort hero units.

Stats:

Crimson Guard

1d6 skill
5 inch movement
5 armor

Crimsonbeard Officer

1d6+1 skill
5 inch movement
1d10 armor

Special:
• Grudge: when a dwarf dies, the rest swear to avenge him. Thus they receive a grudge point.
• Grudge points can be used to give a temporary +1 skill/movement/armor for a round.
• Shield wall (1 action (the officers is enough); the squad gains automatic parries, full cover (+2 skill to hit them with ranged weapons) and a POP of 2. As a drawback, minifigs with shield wall activated cannot sprint and they can only counterattack).

Armed with bearded axes (use 2, 1d6+1 damage, close combat) and heavy dwarven shields (use 2, 1d10 armor when parrying).


Irongut Warriors

The Irongut clan is the most ferocious of the dwarves. They represent the fast attack option for dwarves: as such they are more fragile but can provide sudden bursts of damage which can be devastating.

Stats:

Irongut Warrior

1d6 skill
6 inch movement
4 armor

Irongut Officer

1d6+1 skill
6 inch movement
1d10 armor


Special:
• Grudge: when a dwarf dies, the rest swear to avenge him. Thus they receive a grudge point.
• Grudge points can be used to give a temporary +1 skill/movement/armor for a round.
• Frenzy: The minifig may choose to deliver a flurry of blows instead of a regular swing. Its controller may roll twice for damage after skillcheck, and deal the combined amount minus 1 of the rolls to the opponent. This wears out the minifig though, replacing its base armor value for 1d6 until the following turn.

Armed with steel war axes (use 2, 1d6+2 damage, close combat) and dwarven bucklers (use 2, provides 1d4 armor when parrying).


Miners

When a dwarf reaches a certain age, he decides to retire from fighting and do what a dwarf does best: digging for treasures. This doesn’t mean that they won’t use their picks to crack some skulls if needed, though. Miners are average melee units but their burrow ability gives them a slight edge over other units, as it provides the squad a quick and safe way to reposition and deliver sneak attacks.

Stats:

Miner:

1d6 Skill
5 inch Movement
4 Armor

Miner Officer

1d6+1 Skill
5 inch Movement
1d10 Armor

Special:
• Grudge: when a dwarf dies, the rest swear to avenge him. Thus they receive a grudge point.
• Grudge points can be used to give a temporary +1 skill/movement/armor for a round.
• Burrow: The unit may choose to burrow themselves and move underground with double movement speed. Burrowing counts as a full action, but resurfacing is only a quick action.
• Mad Mead: The miners chug their favourite dwarven stout to enhance their fighting capabilities, giving them a plus 2 skill modifier for one turn. This ability can only be used once per battle.

Armed with Mining Picks (use 3, 1d6+2 damage, close combat) and Mugs of Ale.


ELVES

Hailing from the Eastern lands beyond the Evergreen Woods, the secretive elves ally themselves with the Empire if needed.

Silver Spears

These resilient warriors possess mighty fighting capabilities. Pure stats wise they are probably the best Imperial melee unit with good damage and adjustable armor value.

Stats:

Phalanx

1d6+1 skill
7 inch movement
5 armor

Phalanx Captain

1d6+2 skill
7 inch movement
1d10 armor

Special:
• Shield wall (1 action (the officers is enough); the squad gains automatic parries, small cover (+1 skill to hit them with ranged weapons) and a POP of 2. As a drawback, minifigs with shield wall activated cannot sprint; their movement is also reduced by 2 inches and they can only counterattack).

Armed with mithril spears (use 3, 1d6+2 damage, close combat) and elven shields (use 2, 1d6 armor when parrying).


Elven Longbowmen

As all elves, the ones on Medivo are masters of the bow and arrow as well. These are the best ranged infantry units, outranging almost every other ranged infantry.

Stats

Longbowman

1d6+1 skill
7 inch movement
4 armor

Longbowman Captain

1d6+2 skill
7 inch movement
1d10 armor

Armed with elven longbows (use 3, 1d6+2 damage, 12 inch range).


CAVALRY

Knights

Cavalry are probably the most powerful land units; their charge can be surely devastating. They can be considered a one-trick penis unit as usually they don’t get the chance to charge for a second time; however, with lucky rolls they probably don’t need one. They are also good at outrunning infantry and striking ranged infantry, who usually stand no chance against them.

Stats:

Knight

1d6 skill
5 inch movement
4 armor

Special:
• Unity: Troops are disciplined enough to remain as a squad even if they lose their officer.

Armed with lances (use 4, 2d6 damage, close combat/charge), swords (use 2, 1d6 damage, close combat), shields (use 2, 1d6 armor when parrying). All of them wear armor (+2 armour).

Runeknights

The most powerful knights who could manage to control the power of ancient runic magiks. Runeknights are the stronger and faster versions of vanilla knights however their runic skillset makes them far more versatile.

Stats:

Runeknight

1d10 skill
7 inch movement
2d6 armor
2 hit points

Special:
• Rune Magik: Activating rune powers is a quick/free action, but only one of the rune spells can be used per turn; runes can be used as response action. One rune power can only be used once in a battle per runeknight.
Runes:
• Rune of the Swift Winds: gives a unit 1d6 bonus movement until the end of the turn.
• Rune of Shielding: gives a unit 1d6 armor bonus against an attack. This rune can be used as a reaction.
• Rune of Smiting: 6 inch range. Deals 1d6 damage to a single opponent. Damage only checks for the base armor of the target and ignores any additional armor.

Armed with lances (use 4, 2d6 damage, close combat), runeswords (use 3, 1d6+2 damage, close combat), shields (use 2, 1d6 armor when parrying), and armor (+2 armor, for the horses too).


Dawnriders

Dawnriders are elven cavalry units, they are less armored than Imperial knights, but fare better in close combat.

Stats:

1d6 skill
5 inch movement
4 armor

Dawnrider Champion

1d6+1 skill
6 inch movement
1d10 armor

Armed with lances (use 4, 2d6 damage, close combat/charge), elven longswords (use 3, 1d6+2 damage, close combat), shields (use 2, 1d6 armor when parrying). All of them wear armor (+2 armour).

Gryphonriders

Gryphonriders are the most mobile of all cavalry units; however they are the least armored as well, making them great for harassment and flanking but not direct assault.

Stats:

Gryphonrider

1d6 skill
5 inch movement
4 armor

Gryphonrider Champion

1d6+1 skill
6 inch movement
1d10 armor

Armed with lances (use 4, 2d6 damage, close combat/charge) and elven longswords (use 3, 1d6+2 damage, close combat).

Tomorrow I will finish the Imperial overhaul with all the special units.

Continuing Imperial units:

IMPERIAL SIEGE ARMAMENTS

General machinery rules:

When attacking with war machines, if a critical skill fail occurs, the player must roll 1d6 to determine the consequences that will occur. Depending on the roll these could be:
1: BOOM! The machine blows up, dealing 1d10 explosive damage in a 2 inch radius to all minifigs and structures. The machine is destroyed and beyond repairs; it can still be salvaged and rebuilt to something else.
2-3: The machine is broken; its weaponry won't work until repaired.
4-5: The machine’s weaponry gets jammed, the attack fails. The machine cannot attack next turn because the crew is occupied with unjamming it.
6: OVERDRIVE! The machine performs way beyond standard expectations: the attack is considered successful. In addition, the player may roll for damage with double amount of dice than usual. Afterwards, the machine is considered broken until repaired.


Engineers

Engineers are crafty fellows, known for their constant tinkering, and coming up with new inventions. Engineers are specialist units designed to complement mechanized units, either via keeping them in good shape or helping the operators with aiming.

Rotary Cannon

A rather complex design from the engineer's guild, it is devastating but also unpredictable. The rotary cannon, with the right positioning can be incredibly strong against rows of infantry units. Alternatively it can be used against large targets with multiple hit points to whittle them down.

No skill
Same movement as the minifig who's pushing it
1d10 armor

As a drawback, 1 turn is needed for reloading.


Siege Engine

Troll Juggernaut

Juggernauts represent the sheer strength and savage brutality of the orkish hordes. Only a few selected trolls can become juggernauts; and even some perish during the transformation process, which is painful and rather sadistic. However, those few who manage to endure all the pain and suffering would emerge as fearsome demigods of war.

The possessed minifig will retain its skill and movement, but its armor value gets replaced by the ghost’s. If the possessed minifig is dealt fatal damage, then the ghost is vanquished and the minifig will belong to its original owner.

The abomination 'model' referred to as Corpse Grinder, is another iconic undead unit. A shambling mass of dead sewn and forcedly stiched together, this patchwork monstrosity is the living force of nature.

After Malekim's fall, Warhead got his hands on the glommox, and thanks to his faithful minion Ezra who had found a way how to build additional ones, it has been a trademark unit of the undead ever since.

Most of this content is going to be altered/rendered obsolete after Gatecrash. Trying to make things a bit more interesting and focus more on the 'bashy' aspect.

Here's what the "7th" edition of the homebrew list will change/alter once I'm done with figuring out all the details:

Then you should have done it.

And you can't because....?

I'm still going to do it, once I get the parts in (building barding that works with the lego bears is proving difficult). I was just hoping to be the first.

Eh, genesis theory is overrated anyway. I'm sure both will be awesome and that's what matters.
