Daleks

[Master Bryss]

Right now I am incredibly angry. The guy who wrote the Storm Dragons Codex refuses to change it and listen to reason, and because he's so flipping mad about it, I've lost a worthy opponent. I am in a rage! Exterminate! Extermi...heeey there's an idea...

The Daleks are a once-proud race that lost their empire when the early Imperium destroyed it and had their travel units reforged into the now infamous 'Heresy' armour. They have resorted to hiring themselves out as mercenaries in a bid to find a new Skaro. Dalek armour has constantly evolved over the years from a low-cost suit to a powerful attack hovercraft, however due to the scattered nature of the Daleks not all of them have the most recent armour types. They can often be seen fighting alongside soldiers of all races, apart from one small group, who are content serving a beverage known as 'tea'.

Daleks may be taken as a Troops choice in any army. The entire squad may consist of either Mk.1 or Mk.4 armour. Alternatively, Mk.5 Daleks can be taken as an Elites choice.

Eternal: An Eternal Dalek has Feel No Pain and 2 Wounds.
Strategist: The squad may Outflank.
Scientist: A Scientist Dalek's Beam Gun is S6, AP2.

Special Rules: Stubborn, Force Field, Superior Beings

Force Field: More recent travel machines have an integrated force field. A Dalek with a force field has a 5+ Invulnerable Save.

Superior Beings: Mk.5 Daleks belive other Daleks to be weak and have vowed to exterminate them. If there is a unit of Mk.1 or Mk.4 Daleks within line of sight of a unit of Mk.5 Daleks, the Mk.5 Daleks must attempt to shoot them, even if they are on the same army!


Wargear:

Dalek Beam Gun: The primary Dalek weapon. It has the following profile:

Range: 18", S:5, AP:3, Type: Assault 1

Plunger: Plungers allow Daleks to suffocate their foes. A Plunger is a power weapon that always wounds on 4+, but Daleks with Plungers can never gain bonus attacks for any reason.

Flamer: This is an ordinary flamer.

Blowtorch: An early Dalek weapon capable of penetrating tanks. A Blowtorch is a power weapon that makes the user S6 when attacking vehicles.

Special Weapons Dalek: A Special Weapons Dalek uses a unique and rare travel machine that allows heavy weapons to be mounted. A Special Weapons Dalek replaces its normal weapons and armour for a Special Travel Machine, granting it a 2+ Armour Save and a Railgun (no submunitions) that may be fired on the move. However, the weapon requires charging and may not be fired in two consecutive Shooting Phases.


Well that's another British institution brought into 40k-dom. Hope you enjoy, and C+C is very welcome.

Actually Awsome timing! about a month ago i found a load of my old 80s toy daleks that are a very close match to 40K scale. Hmmmmmm.

Congratulations on making me wish I was british for a minute. I wish I had toy Daleks in my army...

Added an extra sentence of fluff explaining the true fate of Skaro and its relationship with the Imperium. I kinda wanted to write up the Doctor as well, but, y'know, he doesn't do weapons very well.
