Nerov Codex

Who are the Nerov?
The Nerov are an “Emerging Race”. Even newer then the Tau. To the galactic arena, the Nerov are a splinter race descended from early human colonists. For the last few thousand years they have lived in a space oddity called “The Shallows”. “The Shallows” allowed them to exist unnoticed by most of the warring races of the 41st millennia. A bad colonization strategy forced the leadership to start a religion to prevent infighting, after most technology was lost. Slowly they started to rediscover the most basic technology giving way to a Victorian era level of technology. It took longer to develop due to the conservative ideals that their theocracy had. After the inevitable civil war the Nerov threw off the crumbling religion that had held them back in favor of a progressive oligarchy led by men & women who promised a new age of prosperity. This is when they began the journey which led them to what they are today. Simple rocket ships took the first colonists to new worlds, new places. Radio waves were used to communicate because only form of communication that was reliable between worlds. It also limited their progress as the signals died when they reached the border of “The Shallows”.

But something unforeseen happened. “The Shallows” masking affects faded for a short time. Communication became impossible. The Nerov were forced to develop warp compatible communications. There first words sent with this new technique were ones meant to comfort there scattered people. Sadly these words also drew the attentions of the warring factions around them…
The Nerov had opened themselves to the nightmare reality of the 41st millennia. Nothing for this hard working & well meaning people would ever be the same. Fortune still favored them at least as their worlds are fir removed from the center stage of the eternal dance of death the universe has found itself locked in. This faux peace will only last so long….

Tactics of the Nerov .
The favored tactics differ from commander to commander. Some prefer to use specialist squads of elite soldiers to strike deadly precision blows. Others prefer massed firepower of heavy weapons to cut down their foes. All have one detriment that no other race lacks: the lack of plentiful and powerful weaponry. The most common weapons are simple hand cannons, shooting metal slugs. But a well placed shot can mean all the difference. So a Nerov commander needs to make use of the skills that his men are trained in as best he can. Almost all Nerov units make use of cover better than other races. It's up to the commander to come up with effective plans.



Nerov Unit List
HQ
The Nerov faction allows you to customize your leader to fit your needs! If you prefer elite soldiers then choose a Zeiger commander. If you would rather have masses fire power, the numerus Nenlar could be your best choice.

Troops:
Kuegrovs: The spine of an army is a unit that has may uses, the Nerov's are the Kuegrovs, soldiers given training in both Ranged and melee combats. Kuegrovs can serve a verity of purposes for a commander. They can support a weaker unit, take out lighter foes, and distract enemies while your elite melee units get close and personal. A Nerov army should always have a squad of these Jacks Of All Trades.

Squad 4-12|Pts. 10 each
WS|BS| S| T| W| I| A|LD|SV+
4| 4 | 3| 3| 1 | 4 |1 | 8 | 4+
Weapons: Darion or Shotguns
Options: May take 2 Tricannons for + 10 pts each or a rocket launcher at +12 pts
May take Heavy Shotgun shells at +1 pts per modal


Shockens: Soldiers given training more focused on close combat. Their shields allow them to get close up to very nasty creatures. Armed with Gunswords and other blunt/sharp objects they are able to damage medium and light targets easily. They can be used as mobile cover for any unit that needs to get closer but cannot be scratched. Any commander can find a use for a squad of these armored soldiers.

Squad 5-10|Pts. 12 each
WS|BS| S| T| W| I| A|LD|SV+
4 | 4 |3 | 3| 1 |3 | 2 |8 | 5/4+ *
Weapons: Gunblade & Shield, Shotgun & Shield
Options: May take Heavy Shotgun shells at +1 pts per modal

Nenlar: All Nerov citizens have to go through basic training that makes Nerov planets a hazard to enemies regardless of enemy presence. At some point during a conflict a commander may need to inflate his current force with some cheap massed fire power, in this case he/she may request a city's ruler to supply some armed citizens, these are called Nenlar. A Nenlar Based commander <<name needed for the commander>> can make exhalent use of these men. Cannon fodder is not the best use for them, because they can be put to greater use. Such as escorting an important figure, or backing up a damaged squad of other infantry. Because of the ideals that Nerov lives should not be wasted, (unless otherwise stated) commanders can only have 2 squads of these armed citizens.


Squad 5-20|Pts. 5 each
WS|BS| S| T| W| I| A|LD|SV+
3| 2| 3| 3| 1 |3 | 1 | 7 | 5+
Weapons: Darion rifle.
Options: May take a Tricannon carrying Kuegrov for +8pts or a rocket launcher at +10

Heavy Support

Ground Pounders: There are some powerful weapons in the Nerov armory, one is the tricannon.
It can be compared to a heavy bolter, and shares the notches on the ammunition to keep it in the air longer, like it's other cousins in the Nerov armory. It’s a very large gun, only trained soldiers can even move it, let alone fire at an enemy with its bone snapping kick. Squads of ground pounders are an grand choice if you are dealing with heavy infantry, like space marines.



Squad 5-10|Pts. 15 each
WS|BS| S| T| W| I| A|LD|SV+
4 | 4 | 4| 3 | 2 |2 | 1 |8 | 4+
Weapons: Tricannons
Special: Ground Pounders may treat Tricannons as assault 2
Options: One squad of Ground Pounders may replace their Tricannons for Rocket launchers at +5 pts each.


Founding Combat Walker
Type: walker
Formation: 1-2 per squad.
50 pts. per walker.
Armor: F/12 S/12 R/10
Stats WS/2 BS/3 S/6 I/2 A/1
Must be armed with the one of the following:
Twinlinked Triberral +10
Twinlinked Nerov Rocket launcher + 15
Twinlinked Heavy Flamers + 10

Elites

Hollows: The Nerov has secrets, all factions do. One of these secrets is that their officer ranks are filled with parasite infected men called hollows. Although the government knows this, few citizens do. They just see cold indaviduals who strangly commonly refer to themselves in the third person. Because the hollow is just using a body, they can take a lot of damage before they just die. Even then the worm can be transferred in to a new body. A hormone is created after infection; this makes the infected tougher and faster. Although more hollow commanders can easily shed their body at will. Some hollows have problems shedding their bodies. So when the person dies, they do too.


Squad 3-10 | Pts. 20 each
WS|BS| S| T| W| I| A|LD|SV+
4 | 4 | 4| 4| 3 |4 | 2|10 | 5+/4*
Weapons: Shard pistols & CC weapons or shotguns
Special: Roll on the IG psyker table for each squad member +5pts.
Squad members are affected by the Necron’s “We’ll be Back” rule unless they are not Hollow.




Zeigers: The Nerov do not believe in any gods. But there are enough Nerov fanatics to go around. These Elite soldiers known as Zeigers are a match even to the great space marines. They use specially crafted guns that also share the notches that the tricannon bullets have. Years of training and their combat drugs make them powerful enemies. Plus they can force any surround squad in to frenzy, then they ignore up to 2 wounds for 2 turns, they have to charge though.

Squad 6-15 | 22 pts each
WS|BS| S| T| W| I| A|LD|SV+
4 | 4 | 4| 3| 2 |5 | 2 |9 | 4+
Weapons: Zuhn Pistols & cqc weapon or Zuhhn Rifles
Options: May take 3 Tricannons for + 14 pts each or a rocket launcher at +18 pts
May take Heavy Shotgun shells at +3 pts per modal
Special: all friendly squads within 6 inches get an additional 1D6 calculating to combat resolution.

The Zeiger's word: Every 2 turns a Zeiger squad may roll to cause a squad go into a frenzy (1-2 no effect the Zeiger's words are not enough, 3-5 the Zeigers accomplish their task of motivating ths soldiers, 6 the Zeigers do an even better job, the squad affected by their ability get an extra turn to ignore rules) how ever, once a squad has been in a frenzy, they may not be targeted again.

Fast Attack
Lnd'dshurk: The surgical fast-strike force of the Nerov. The
shark-like creatures called Dshukrs serve in the Nerov army as harrasers
and scouts. They are riden by the people called the raiders, who usually
carry highly shapr swords and light firearms, and in battle they tend
to "bleed" their enemy by making rapid strike in to the mists of the
enemy and disapearing before the enemy can react.

Special rules: Hit & Run, Beasts, Fleet of Hoof

Squad 5-15|Pts. 20 each
WS|BS|S|T|W|I|A|LD|SV+
Lnd |4|3|3|3| 2|4|1|7| 5+
Dshurk |5|-|3|-| -|5|1|-| -
Weapons: Shard Rifle OR Shard Pistol and CCW


Lnd'ao'dshurk: The heavy calvary of the Nerov. Tough not as fast
and agile as the younger Dshurks, the Ancients have claws that can rip
trough battle tanks like hot knife trough butter. They are also
usually more heavily equiped, carrying easily the Nerovian Tri Cannon on its
back.

Special rules: Monsterous creature

Squad 5-10|Pts. 25 each
WS|BS|S| T|W|I|A|LD|SV+

Mitä siis tästä? Kyseessä on siis projekti, jonka tarkoituksena on luoda uusi rotu WH 40K:hon. Tokihan noita jo on, mutta aina sinne yksi lisää mahtuu.

Kyseisen projektin tekijät ovat vapaaehtoisia miniatyyrien harrastajia. Toistaiseksi väkeemme kuuluu vain kolme, allekirjoittanut (fluffi vastaava) ja nimimerkkien takana olevat herrat Lord Koroth (yleispäällikkö) sekä Repo Snork (projektin aloittaja ja aivot). Näillä kahdella herralla on ollut vaikeuksia löytää väkeä auttamaan mm. miniatyyrien tekijöitä. Nyt siis kysyn suomalaisilta alan harrastajilta löytyisikö intoa lähteä projektiin mukaan. Kaikki apu on arvokasta, oli kyseessä sitten pätkä fluffia, piirrustuksen teko tai raportti yllä näkyvän raaka-codeksin käytöstä.

Jos kiinnostusta on, heittäkää minua viestillä tai rekisteröitykää suoraan Space Wolves Communityn foorumille ja menemällä 40k Army Lists and BatReps osioon.

Yleiset kysymykset voitte laittaa tähän. Päivittelen myös tuota raaka-codeksia sitä mukaa kun siinä edistystä tapahtuu. Kiitos.

Anteeksi pitkä viivästys päivityksessä, mutta onnettoman kone-ongelman takia olen hiukkasen jäljessä aikataulusta. Mutta, nyt ensimmäinen päivitys on löytänyt tiensä tänne, ja uskon että melko pian seuraa paljon lisää.

Ja apu on edelleen tervetullutta. Joten pistäkää vain niitä posteja tulemaan.

Njoo... Nää nyt on näitä. Tuntuu minusta jotenkin turhalta kun armeija on niin saman tuntuinen kuin IG. Paljon helpommin ja nopeammin olisi saanut tehtyä vaan käyttämällä IG dexiä ja muuttaen vaan yksiköiden, aseiden ja special rulejen nimeä. Sellaista listaa olisi voinut jopa käyttää muuallakin kuin kaveripeleissä. Ihan hyvää työtä olette kuitenkin tehneet.

Muutama asia kyllä jäi tuosta vähän kaivelemaan: Miksi joillakin ihmis uniteilla on S4? Holloweilla sen voisi ehkä jotenkin ymmärtää, mutta miksi zeigereille ja ground poundereille? Örkeilläkin on hei vaan s3 ja meinaatko että nämä ihmiset olisi sitten örkkejä vahvempia? Ja sitten tuo kilpi. Miksi se antaa 5+ invun? Mietitäänpä vaikka, että basiliski ampuu yksikön päälle. Tällaisessa tapauksessa vaikka space marinet instakillautuisivat suoraan ilman saveja, mutta nämä ihmisjoukot saisivat vielä 5+ invun. Itse vaihtaisin tuon 5+ cover saveksi joka ei toimi template aseita vastaan. Tällain se vastaisi fluffiakin paremmin minunmielestäni. Tämä 5+ cover save voisi myös siirtyä shockeneiden takana oleville yksiköille mikäli tulilinja kulkee shocken yksikön läpi.

Tuon enempää en nopean läpilukemisen jälkeen keksinyt.

Tarkoituksenahan siis ei ole luoda mitään IGn peilikuvaa tai kopiota, vaan tehdä uusi rotu. Totta, IGtähän tuo muistuttaa, eikä sille oikein voi mitään, mutta...

Kuitenkin, sille S4lle löytyy fluffillinen syy (löytyy yksiköiden kuvauksesta). Kyseessä ovat siis ihmiset jotkat ovat eläneet tuhansia vuosi warpin ympäiröimällä avaruuden kaistaleella, joten luultavasti tämä on ainakin osa syy, mutta toisaalta pounderit ja zeigerit ovat eliitti sotilaita joilla on mahdollisuus parhaimpaan mahdolliseen teknologiaan mitä Neroveilla on. Tämä on siis niin aseiden saralla kuin yleisen ja lääketieteen saralla (vinkkaus Founderia kohti).

Shokenien koko olemassa olo tuntuu nyt olevan vähän niin ja näin, nimittäin repolta kysellessäni kuulin että kyseinen yksikkö mahdollisesti korvataan "berserkeillä". Saas nähä mite käy. Kilpi säilyy, mutta kuinka paljon sitä muutetaan on myös auki.

Repo Snork kirjoitti:If it has a subject it's important. And yes, this is quite important.

Its the Nerov unit contest! Weee, yay!

Because no one on our team has the means to make real minis and distribute to every one, Koroth and I came up with an idea to make some paper 2D figures that you can print out and use as units. Koroth came up with an idea to make it a contest.

The terms.

You need to make a unit that fits the description of the unit. No samurai/ninja vampires with daemon amour (although that is awesome), unless I say so.

The units need to be viewed from the side, but some may have their guns, heads, or what ever in an angle.

We are using 'heroic' proportions. That means they have larger hands and heads, look at an Imperial Guardsman, you'll see what I mean. If you have problems drawing something right, or the proportions wrong, I can fix that.

We would like awesome poses! I want them to be so awesome and to have so much energy that who ever sees them has their eyes explode because of the sheer awesomeness of the pose.

If you are the winner, you of course get credit for making it (and get thanked in the codex), and you also get to feel good about you self, knowing that when I run the world, you wont get fed to the ravenous attack lawyers that I shall have.

If you are winner, I will want 4-6 different poses and equipment for randomness.


This week: The Kuegrovs

The basic kuegrov has a trench coat like uniform with buckles down it to keep it together. He also has that nice German army hat that they had in WW2 (I'll post a pic later). Most have goggles. They also wear boots. Their gun is similar to the Czech machine pistol the Skorpion (but it's a rifle, again I'll post a pic later).

The contest ends in 2 weeks.

Voitte vastata privalla tai tähän ketjuun.

Laihapa oli kilvan sato... -.-'
