The Warmasters Council presents

THUNDERHAWK DOWNThe Ruins of Icarus Prime

40k Skirmish Beta Version 0.04IntroductionThe Imperial hiveworld of Icarus Prime, once located in the Agrippinaa system, a mere handful oflight years from the Eye of Terror, mysteriously disappeared in the year 850.M41. Ninety-nine yearslater, sporadic reports of a world matching its atmospheric signature appeared deep within theEastern Fringe, near Tau space and directly in the path of Hive Fleet Leviathan. Forces from all overthe Eastern fringe are being dispatched to investigate the ruins of this once mighty hiveworld.

Welcome to Thunderhawk Down (working Title):Generally speaking, the rules for Warhammer 40,000 are used for this game. While the final version

will be more complete, for now assume that the normal 40k rules apply with the following additions.

Hopefully you will enjoy playing this game as much as we did putting it together. At this early stage,we want constructive criticism on everything. We want additional ideas. We want ways to improveon what we have begun here.

Rules Additions and Amendments

Additional Phase: Recovery PhaseA new phase has been added to the game, which takes place prior to the movement phase, and

before other 40Kstart of turn

actions.1. Strike Force Rout Test: If your Strike Force has suffered a total of 25% casualties or

greater, you must pass a leadership test to continue. Even fearless models must make thistest. If the test is failed, your Strike Force flees and the game ends. Warriors in combat allsuffer a free strike from their opponents.

2. Voluntary Rout: If your Strike Force has less than 50% of its models remaining, you mayvoluntarily flee.

3. Recovery:a. Knocked Down models stand upb. Stunned models become knocked down

Universal Special Rules (USR)Some USRs have slightly different effects in Thunderhawk Down; any rules not listed below areunchanged

Counter Attack: Aura effect, a model may counter charge when a friendly model within 6 isassaulted

Night Vision/Acute Senses: Allows a model to re-roll night fight distance and also doublesthe range at which they spot hidden models.

Movement Rule ChangesGroup Movement: Normally, all models move as individuals. However, in order to speed up play ontables with large amounts of difficult terrain, players may opt to have models that are within 2

coherency to move as a group under the following three circumstances and with the followingrestrictions:

Movement Phase: Coherent models may choose to roll for difficult terrain together. Theymove d3+2 inches in the movement phase. They must end their movement in coherency.

Shooting Phase: Coherent models may choose to roll for difficult terrain together. They moved3+2 inches as their run movement. They must end their run in coherency.

Assault Phase: Coherent models may choose to roll for difficult terrain together. They moved3+2 inches as their assault move. The models assault individually, but they must still endtheir assault within coherency of each other.

Heroes that are part of a group never grant the move through cover special rule to the group.

Despite moving together, models are never considered to be aunit

for any other purposes. Thesame models do not have to be involved in each group move. Models can be added or dropped

from the group at each phase freely.

Moving Through Difficult Terrain:All Heroes count as independent characters and thus roll anextra die when moving through difficult terrain.


6/75

Hiding: A model may hide if it can end its movement with a piece of terrain between itself and allenemy models with line of sight to it. The terrain piece must be large enough to reasonably concealthe model from all enemy models. The model may not run, shoot, or assault for the rest of its turn.The enemy may not shoot a Hidden model unless it is within a number of inches equal to itsInitiative (2 for an Ork boy). Hidden models may be spotted in this way at two specific times in a

turn

at the end of the Movement phase, and the end of the Shooting phase. In other words, amodel may notrun forward in the shooting phase and reveal hidden enemy models for the rest of hisStrike Force to target.

Hiding will not prevent a model from being charged in the Assault phase. A Hidden enemy may beassaulted so long as the charging unit can make a legal charge move to reach the model. A Hiddenmodel that is charged in hand to hand may also not make use of the Bar the Doors special rulesdescribed in the rules for Enclosed buildings.

Climbing, Falling and JumpingClimbing: In Thunderhawk Down, models move up and down levels differently from 40k. Inaddition to rolling for difficult terrain as normal, models must take an Initiative test in order to climb.If the test is passed, the model may move up or down one level and move normally, at a cost of 3 ofmovement per level. If the test is failed, the model must remain on the level it is currently on andimmediately ends its movement for that turn. This test is also required in the assault phase.

Exception: Models in base to base contact with a wall at the start of their movement phase (not theassault phase) may ignore the difficult terrain test and just take the initiative test to climb one level.

Note: Any model on a bike may not climb.

Ladders: the presence of a ladder allows models to move up or down a level without an initiative testbeing required.

Falling: If a model is knocked down orstunned while within 1 of a ledge or perch, the model musttake an Initiative test. If the test is passed then all is well. If the test is failed, then the model falls. Themodel suffers a hit with a strength equal to the distance fallen, with normal armour saves. The modelis still knocked down orstunned when they hit the ground.

Jumping: Models may choose to jump from the top of a building. To successfully jump down, amodel must take an Initiative Test for every 3 (rounding up) of vertical movement covered. If all testsare successful, the model lands safely. Every 3 of vertical movement counts as 1 of the modelsnormal movement. If the test is failed, the model suffers a hit with a strength equal to the totaldistance fallen, with normal armour saves, and is knocked down.

Diving Charges: In theAssault Phase a model may perform a Diving Charge provided they are in anelevated position, within 1 of the edge of a ledge or perch, and the target of their charge is at leaston level below them and within 1 of where your model will land. The charging model takes oneinitiative test for every 3 they are falling. If the tests are passed, the model counts as having theFurious Charge universal special rule and may be placed in base-to-base with the model theycharged. If the test is failed, the model falls, and does not count as being engaged with the enemy,

but is knocked down. Models that already have Furious Charge must still pass the Initiative test toperform a Diving Charge.

Shooting and Combat Additions

Injuries TableWhen a model suffers an unsaved wound roll a d6 and consult the table belowD6 Result Effect1-2 Knocked down

The force of the blow knocks the warrior down. Place the model face up torepresent that it is knocked down.

3-4 StunnedThe warrior falls to the ground, barely conscious. Place the model face down torepresent that it isstunned.

5-6 Out of ActionThe warrior is incapacitated for the remainder of the battle. Remove the model from

play.

Knocked DownA model that was knocked down at the start of its turn and has now stood up has the followingrestrictions: half movement; may not assault; and strikes at Initiative 1 in combat.

StunnedA model that was stunned at the beginning of its turn becomes knocked down in the Recoveryphase, and may move 2 in any direction, unless engaged in combat. This may be done even if themodel has gone to ground.

Critical InjuriesIf a model rolls a 6 to wound, a critical effect takes place. Roll on the appropriate table to determinethe bonus effect.

Exception: If a 6 is required to wound the target model, no critical effects take place. Also, anyweapon with the template rule will also not perform a critical hit on the roll of a six (i.e. any weaponsthat use the Flame Template)

Ranged AttacksD6 Result Effect1-3 Marksman Enemy models must apply a -1 penalty to any armour or cover saves

taken against this wound.4-5 SniperNo cover saves are allowed.

6 Bulls eyeNo armour or cover saves are allowed.

Normal Close Combat Weapons

D6 Result Effect1-3 Blade Storm

Enemy models must apply a -1 penalty to any armour saves taken against thiswound.

4-5 Master StrikeNo armour saves are allowed.

6 DecapitationNo armour saves are allowed, and add +1 to the injury roll.

Special Close Combat Weapons (Any melee attack that ignores Armour saves)

D6 Result Effect1-3 Stab

Add +1 to the injury roll.4-5 Body Blow

Your opponent staggers, allowing you to take an additional attack.

6 EvisceratedThe enemy model is automatically taken out of action.

ShootingTarget Priority: In Thunderhawk Down, models must shoot the closest enemy model.Exceptions:Knocked down andstunned models may be ignored.

A model may shoot the closest model outside of cover or the closest model in cover.Models may choose any target in sight when firing from an elevated position (but not theother way around).

Note: Hidden models are ignored for determining target priority

PinningA model must test for pinning if it suffers an unsaved wound from a weapon with the pinning specialrule. This includes models who are Knocked Down or Stunned by a Pinning weapon. In addition,any model within 2 of such an affected model must make a separate pinning test of its own.

Specialist GrenadesThunderhawk Down includes special grenade types that may be thrown instead of firing anotherweapon. See the Exotic Wargear section of this rule set for details on grenade effects. Unlessotherwise noted each uses the small blast template and will hit using BS as normal, with a range ofthe throwing models S x 2. On a miss the grenade will scatter d6 inches in a random direction.

Following FireA model shooting a heavy weapon that fires multiple shots may choose to target more than oneenemy model. The shooter simply allocates dice to models he can see that are within 2 of hisprimary target, and rolls to hit for each one. Divide the dice as evenly as possible among all targets.No secondary model may have more hits allocated to it than the original target. Cover saves shouldbe determined separately for each model hit. All target priority rules and Line of Sight rules still applyfor the primary target.

Close CombatCounter-Assault:Any model within 2 coherency may chose to pile into combat when anothermember of their strike force is assaulted. The model(s) do not count as having assaulted.

Finish Him! If an enemy model is in combat with onlyknocked down orstunned models at thebeginning of its activation in the combat phase (and is notknocked down orstunned itself) then thefollowing rules apply:

1. A knocked down model is hit automatically in combat. Any successful wounds automaticallytake him out of action. Armour saves are allowed

2. Astunned model is automatically taken out of action if in combat with an enemy model. Asingle stunned model can be removed per attack. No saves of any kind are allowed.

Leaving Combat.A model may not leave a combat unless all its opponents are knocked down orstunned.

Weapon Definitions.Some rules in Thunderhawk Down refer generically to Heavy and Special weapons. These twoterms are defined as follows:

Heavy Weapon: Any weapon with the Heavy Xrule, with the exception ofSniper weapons.

Special Weapon: AnyAssault or Rapid Fire weapon with any of: Range -Template; Strength 5 ormore; AP 3 or less. Exceptions include the Tau Plasma Rifle and Imperial Guard Hot-Shot LasWeapons. Combi weapons are not special weapons and can include more than one type ofWeapon, and any Gun Mods or abilities will affect any allowable combi-weapon shooting (generallythe Mods and Skills wont work on the Special portion of the combi-weapon).

Special Close Combat Weapon:Any weapon that ignoresarmour saves (including rending wounds)is considered a special close combat weapon.

Terminator ArmourTerminator Armour works slightly differently in Thunderhawk Down than it does in standard 40K.The Armour still provides a 2+ Armour Save, a 5+ Invulnerable Save, gains the relentless USR, andmay enter play via Deep Strike if they wish. In addition, models in Terminator Armour are alsoimmune to Critical Hits and Instant Death.

In any Strike Force only the Captain may ever wear Terminator Armour.

PsychologyLeader: A unit with the leader ability allows all models within 6 to use that models leadership forany required morale and pinning tests.

Stupidity:A model that suffers from stupidity must take a leadership test each turn. If passed, themodel may behave as normal. If failed, the model wanders D6 in a random direction, determinedby the scatter dice, and may not shoot or assault. Models subject to Stupidity can use the Leadershipof models with the Leader ability for this test.


10/75

Other New RulesAuras: There are some abilities in 40k that augment certain units (Eldar Exarch abilities and Ork MobSize as examples). In Thunderhawk Down, these abilities affect any eligible model within 6 of themodel with the effect. For example, the Dire Avenger Ability Bladestorm affects all Dire Avengermodels within 6. Orks may replace their leadership with the number of Orks within 6 of

themselves.

TerrainEnclosed Buildings: For Thunderhawk Down, ignore the normal 40K rules for enclosed buildingsaltogether. Instead, treat the building in the following manner.

Buildings can be entered from any opening, both windows and doors (and any other openings youmight have modelled). Models inside a building can be placed on the roof to show their roughlocation, but remember to mark them as inside with a die or a counter. Remember, these rules onlyapply to fully enclosed buildings, not ruins.

Hard Cover: For shooting purposes, unless hidden, a model inside a building may betargeted if it is within 1 of an opening that the shooting model has line of sight to, whichmeans that strict Line of Sight to the actual model is not necessary. Models inside the buildingreceive a 3+ cover save from such shooting, modified as normal. Such models areconsidered to be in hard cover. As well, models may shoot from one level of a building to thelevel directly above or below, but all target models will benefit from the hard cover save.

Models inside buildings may be directly assaulted. Use the following process to combat inenclosed buildings. Assaults are declared as normal, and models are moved into base to basein the normal fashion, treating the building as difficult terrain. If a model is assaulted throughan opening from which it could have claimed hard cover then the Bar the Doors! (see below)special rule applies. Otherwise treat the assault as any normal assault into terrain.

Any assaults from one level of an enclosed building to another will also be subject to the Barthe Doors! special rule below.

Bar the Doors! Models gain an additional advantage in combat if they are defending anentrance to a building. Any time a model is assaulted through an opening that would haveprovided ithard cover, as described above, then that model will count as Initiative 10 againstany enemies that assault through that opening. This Initiative 10 is not modified by any kindof grenade, although it may be matched or altered by other special rules.

Note that model can be assaulted as normal even when in a building, provided the assaulting

model makes its assault move into the building via an entrance that would not have providedthe target model with hard cover.

Multi-level Enclosed Buildings: In the case of enclosed buildings with more than one floor treateach floor as separate. It is possible to have opposing Strike Forces occupying different floors of thesame building. In these cases a model can only move into an enemy occupied floor by assaulting it,and these assaults use the rules above. It is possible to bypass an occupied floor by climbing the


11/75


11

exterior of the building, any such attempt uses the standard climbing rules and the climbing modelmust have a window or opening to exit and/or enter from.

Booby TrapsHeroes that have both the Demolitions Expert skill and booby traps in their possession have the

ability to booby trap D3 pieces of terrain before the battle.

Setting the Trap: Each hero with the Demolitions Expert skill may booby trap D3 pieces of terrain.Roll for the number of traps in full view of your opponent, then secretly note down which pieces aretrapped on a scrap of paper and which type of trap is being used.

Triggering the Trap: A trap is triggered at the end of a movementphase in which a model enters theterrain piece. The first model to enter the terrain is the point of origin for the trap. Be sure to keeptrack of this model, for if the player forgets, the trap is wasted. Any critical hits caused by a BoobyTrap are resolved using the table for Ranged attacks.

Traps Special Rules: Ignore Cover saves, cause pinning

Trap TypesPlasma Charge: St 7 AP 2Automatically hits the model that triggers it.

Shredder Mine: St 3 AP 5The mine is located D6 from the triggering model, determined using the Scatter Dice (use the arrow

on the hit facing as well). The player in control of the mine places the flame template, in such a

manner that the triggering model is hit by the template.

Spring Mine St 4 AP 6

Centre the large blast template over the triggering model, then scatter the template a D6.

Starting a Strike ForceThe following section details how to select a Strike Force.

Each Strike Force starts with 750 Imperial Credits to spend on models and their equipment. Use thebriefing pages that follow to determine eligible heroes and henchmen for your Strike Force, as well asthe credit cost per model. Use the appropriate codex entry to determine which equipment isavailable to each model.

The briefing pages also include which skill sets are available for each hero type in your army. Theywill gain access to these skills via experience gained in battle (explained in the campaign section)

Heroes and HenchmenAll models in 40k Skirmish are divided into heroes and henchmen.

Heroes have the potential to become great warriors of their races, with access to equipment andskills that set them apart from mere mortals. A Strike Force can never have more than 6 heroes. AllHeroes have the Skilled Rider and Move Through Cover special rules.

Henchmen make up the bulk of your forces. Most are capable of gaining experience and a lucky fewbecome true heroes themselves. A few others are savage beasts that cannot gain experience.

Henchmen may use any special, heavy weapons or wargear allowed in their Codex entry. Theycannot use the special equipment and items found throughout a campaign or from any other source.

Henchmen are usually grouped into gangs of 1-5 individuals.

Strike Force Roster

A Strike Force roster sheet is required to track the progress of your forces. This allows you to track theskills, experience, equipment, and injuries suffered by your band. (A Roster sheet can be found at theback of this book.)

Composition Rules1. A Strike Force is led by one (and only one) Captain. Any model with the Captain rule in its

notes may be selected as the rosters captain. This model gains the leader ability.2. A Strike Force may only purchase up to 5 heroes.3. The only way to reach a total of 6 heroes is through one of your henchmen advancing

through a Lad with Talent result (see pg46 for details).4. A starting Strike Force must contain at least 2 henchmen.5. Units with enhanced movement are limited to 2 models in starting Strike Forces.6. The 0-X reference for henchmen means that the maximum number of models of that type

allowed in a Strike Force is X.7. All heroes and henchmen are limited at all times to taking heavy and special ranged weapons

allowed by their Codex entry. (Heroes may gain skills that allow them to purchase a widervariety of ranged weapons)

8. Heroes may select any item from their armoury, except for heavy and special rangedweapons, unless specified otherwise in their codex entry.

9. All Strike Forces that can use Equipment will start with one Medi-pack at Force creation.Mobile Storage LockerA Strike Forces capacity to carry and maintain heavy and special ranged weapons and special close

combat weapons is limited. To represent this in the game, each strike force has a mobile storage locker.

All heavy and special ranged and special combat weapons have been assigned mass rating. Each point ofMass takes up one storage location in your mobile locker. A strike forces total combination of these

weapon types cannot exceed a strike forces storage capacity.

For example, if you Strike Force had one Heavy Bolter (Mass four) and two Melta Guns (Mass two each),

those three weapons would take up a total of 8 Storage locations in your Mobile Locker.

Campaign RulesThe following section details the rules for your Strike Force to take part in a campaign.

To participate in a campaign, several steps are required.1. Determine Strike Force rating2. Determine underdog bonus (if any)3. Play a Game4. Post battle sequence

Strike Force RatingA Strike Force rating is the number of models in the band multiplied by five plus its total experience.

Underdog BonusOccasionally, a matchup will take place between an experienced strike force and a relative newcomer. In order to quickly bring the inexperienced strike force up to par with its opponents, anexperience bonus is awarded to the underdog.

Difference in Rating Experience Bonus0-50 None51-100 +1101-150 +2

151-200 +3201+ +4

Play the Game

Data-slates:There are several rules about Data-slates that apply in Thunderhawk Down.1. Models may only pick up a Data-slate by ending their movement phase on top of the Data-

slate marker.2. No model may begin the game in possession of or on top of a Data-slate.3. At the end of a game, each unclaimed Data-slate may only be claimed by the winning Strike

Force if that Force has a model within 6 of that Data-slate. That model counts as holding theData-slate for experience purposes.

4. A model holding a Data-slate may leave the table by moving off his own board edge. Modelsremoved in the way count as casualties for all Rout tests.

Optional Rule: Distribute Battle Cards

DeepstrikeThe rules for Deepstriking in Thunderhawk Down differ slightly from the standard 40K rules. Playersmake a separate reserve roll for each model with the Deepstrike ability, and any Codex rules thatallow a set portion of the army to Deepstrike together will apply, counting each model as a separateunit for this purpose.


44/75


44

For example, Codex: Daemons allows half of the army to Deepstrike on the first turn, so inThunderhawk Down that would mean that half of the individual Daemon models would Deepstrike onthe first turn.

Place each Deepstriking model on the board, and then scatter it 2d6 inches as normal. If a model

appears in impassable terrain (like in the middle of a wall) move the model out of the terrain by theshortest route, and then that model must make an Initiative test. If that test is failed the model mustroll on the Injuries Chart (with no saves of any kind allowed). This replaces the normal 40k rules forDeepstriking into terrain.

InfiltrateInfiltrate works as normal, with the additional rule that Infiltrating models may start the game Hidden,and that in order to do so the model must satisfy all the requirements in the Hidden rules. This couldallow a model to begin the game technically within line of sight of an enemy model. Each playermust declare that a model is hiding when that model is placed. Note that an enemy Scout movemight reveal that Hidden model before the game begins.

ScenariosThunderhawk Down is generally played on a 4 x 4 table. The game is designed to be played ontables that are at least 50% covered with terrain. Heavy urban terrain, especially multi-level ruins andbuildings, best suit the rules.

The Standard 40K rules for Deployment and determining first turn should be used. The players eachroll a D6, and the player with the highest roll will chose a deployment zone and deploy his strikeforce. The other player then deploys his strike force.

Any model with the Deepstrike ability may be kept in reserve and enter play via Deepstrike,unless the scenario dictates otherwise.

Any model with Scout or Infiltrate that is kept in reserve may outflank. After initial deployment the players take turns placing any Infiltrating models, with the player

who deployed first deploying his infiltrating models first.

Seize the Initiative: The player that deployed second may attempt to take the first turn. Roll a D6.On the result of 6, the player takes first turn.

Determine ScenarioA scenario is determined by three factors: Deployment, Tactical Objectives, and Time of Day. Beforeeach game use the following three tables to determine the scenario.

Deployment: Roll a d6

1-3: Board Edges. Players deploy on opposite board edges, within 8 of the board edge. 4-6 Board Quarters. Players deploy in opposite board quarters. No model may be set up

within 12 of an enemy model or 12 of the centre of the board. The player that is to deploysecond may choose which two table edges (they must be the opposite edges) are to be usedfor Outflanking.


45/75


45

Tactical Objectives: Roll a d6

1-2: Data-slate Recovery. Players take turns placing at total of 1d3 Data-slates on the board.The player with the lowest Force Rating always places the first marker. Each Data-slate mustbe place at least 8 away from other Data-slates. Any model holding a Data-slate at the endof the game gains +1 experience.

3-4: Take and Hold. Players take turns identifying 1d3 terrain features as Locations ofInterest. Again, the player with the lowest Force Rating chooses first. A Strike Forcesuccessfully holds a Location of Interest at the end of the game if they have at least onefriendly model in the terrain piece and the enemy does not. Any Hero inside a successfullyheld Location of Interest at the end of the game gains +1 experience.

5-6: Head Hunting. Any time a Hero or Henchman puts an enemy Hero Out of Action roll adie on a 4+ that Hero or Henchman gains an additional+1 Experience.

Time of Day: Roll a d6

1-3: Daytime. No additional effect. 4: Dawn. Turns 1 and 2 use the Nightfight rules.

5: Dusk. Turns 5+ use the Nightfight rules 6: Night. The Nightfight rules will be used for every turn.

Post Battle Sequence1. Injuries. Determine the extent of the injuries for each model that went out of action2. Allocate Experience. Heroes and Henchmen gain experience for surviving battles.3. Roll on the Recon Chart4. Trade

a. Recruit New Warriorsb. Purchase New Equipment

Recalculate your rating

Disbanding Strike Forces: you may disband your band after any game and start a new one

Death of a Warrior: A dead Force Members equipment and items are lost upon his death.

Death of a Leader: If your Captain dies, the hero with the next highest leadership takes his place. Ifthere are multiple models with the same leadership, the one with the most experience becomes theleader. If that is still tied, the player may choose.

Injuries:All models that go out of action must test to see if they have suffered serious injuries.

Henchmen with serious injuries must roll a D6. On a roll of a one or a two the model dies of itsinjuries. On a 3+ the model will be available for the next battle, ready for action.

Heroes with injuries must roll on the table below to determine the extent of their injuries. Roll oneD6 for the 10s column and a second D6 for the 1s column.
