2nd Non-Annual Units We Don't Want to See

[Veez]

Recently there has been a lot of talk about new characters (plus some sort of smut rag that some guy named Jake Brass is putting out) with characters in it.  I have decided, for the art of conversation since it does seem to be lagging here of late, to reccomend characters we NOT see introduced in the near future:

Cybertonic Vista Trooper.  An  individual model that goes from AI to AI ensuring them to have the latest upgrades in the middle of a battle.  Any unit "upgraded" loses all actions for 2 turns while it reboots then has to roll under its leadership -4 to see if it comes back on line.  Every subsequent turn at the end of its actions, it must also make a roll to see if it crashes.  If it does crash, it has to do another check at the start of each activation to see if it reboots properly.  It is possible for a unit to reboot then crash at the end of an action.  In fact, it's expected.

Mishima Apprentice Sushi Chef.  An individual model that fed everyone Mercurian Puffer Fish last night.  However, because he is not fully trained on how to prepare this rare but delicious delicasy, at the start of the game every model in the army to roll under the MASC's LD to see if the Chef prepared the fish properly or accidentally cut the poison sac.  If the model fails the test, at the start of each activation it rolls under its own LD to see if it succumbs to the toxin and is an automatic casualty.  There are no saves allowed.

Brotherhood Librarian Adept.  An individual model that causes all Brotherhood figures within 18 inches to suffer -4 leadership penalties because he will not shut up about his theory that the 8th Cardinal's decrees on the uses of Venusian Typing Paper was in fact an prophecy that predicted the decline in the Bauhause gear making industry eighty years later.  Sadly, he may not be targeted by his own forces and eliminated because he has key information the  unit may need to accomplish the mission.  Enemy units are also at -4 to hit him at any range band or in CC because he distracts the hell out of them as well.

Well see here:  I don't see you coming up with anything constructive mister!  Maybe if you'd get off your lazy hide and produce something you'd appreciate the effort that goes into producing a professional grade magazine!  My staff does their best to conduct fine-quality field work so that the self-employed professional can gain the most, as well as the corporate or Brotherhood employeed who wishes to expand his resources.  In the mean time, until I can get a website up and working, I am still handing out free copies to anyone who PM's me.

I had intended to open this category to everyone-but not this way!

Jeez,  Veez.

Getting flamed by that chairborne ranger.  Now that's harsh.

[Veez]

Well, nowadays I'm not much more than a desk-jockey myself so I probably shouldn't be throwing stones.

Capitol - Corporal James "It'll never work" Hudson
Hudson believes nothing good will come from anything.  He never did.  This guy bemoans the littlest hurdle - "Why me? Get someone else to walk point. I'm a short-timer."  Once when told that a 10-year old girl could do a better job than he, Hudson replied, "That's great! Why don't you put her in charge, man?"  Qucik to retreat; "Let's get the frak outta here!"

Corporal Hudson - Individual F*** Up, up to 1 per army list, extremely mortal (to the point of cowardice), Force Detractor

Here's one -

Bauhaus Ducal Minesweeper - just stamps around the battlefield with hands over his ears until *BOOOM*   

[Dr. Nick]

mishima, but not bauhaus.. sorry i donīt buy this one!

[Petru5]

it could only be Mishima if he attacked the minefield with his sword.  I'm not sure how that would work, as any good swordsman knows you never stab a sharp edge into soil, but I'm sure someone could figure out the resultant penalties.

I'm thinking Bauhaus is better suited.  Big, Eastern block looking guys.  Them or Sons of Rasputin.

[Veez]

I would think more Imperial-some poor bloody infantry while the officers sit and watch from their tent drinking tea and muttering something about "stuff upper lip" and whatnot!

Then again, Capitol-that's what the Freedom Brigades are for.

The corporate team building exercise corps.  Yech.

[Veez]

I love it.  They lose 2 turns to "trust exercises" prior to being able to engange the enemy.  Worse, they are so in tune with each other's emotions that if they take a casualty, the entire unit is removed so that they can comfort each other.

[Petru5]

The true question is if one falls, will the others catch him?

[Veez]

If they don't they have to take a morale test!
