WEAPONS OF THE BADAB

WAR
Weapons of the Badab War Rules Changes

The below document is a one-stop shop for all Badab Era weaponry. Going forward, please ignore
any weapon stats within unit pages and refer to the below weapon pages, we will slowly remove
‘generic’ weapons form units so everything will be in one spot to make balancing and stat-line
changes easier for all involved. The only things that will remain on pages are things occurring on
Named/Unique Characters.

Notes: You’ll note that many weapons have had special rules added or taken away. Namely removal of
Sunder from Lascannons (and instead put onto Krak Missiles from Missile Launchers. Also a lot of the
Heavy Ordnance which was made completely irrelevant in HH2.0 has been beefed back up a bit,
generally getting an increase in blast size and a low form of Breaching (generally a Breaching (6+) or
(5+), this when linked with the Ordnance rule above should hopefully give the big guns some more
teeth, without falling back into artillery city of HH1.0. Again please have a crack of all the above and
submit feedback, nothing is set in stone, so have a play and let us know!

Weapons of the Badab War Rules Changes/Weapon Special Rules

Ordnance: Works exactly as the rulebook, in Addition, a Unit may not reroll an Armour Save due to
the Heavy Rule, if wounded by a weapon with the Ordnance Trait. (Let us know how this plays in your
games, feedback is always wanted and encouraged!)

Grav-Ripple: A weapon with the Grav-Ripple effect rolls to hit as normal. To wound it needs
whatever the targets Armour save is (Eg if hitting a Space Marine with an armour save of 3+, you
would require a 3+ to wound the Marine). Models wounded by a weapon with the Grav-Ripple trait
do not make a normal saving through, but instead make save based on their Toughness. EG if a
Guardsmen, at Toughness 3 is wounded by a Grav-Ripple Weapon, they will save the wound on a 3+.
(Let us know how this plays in your games, Wanted something not as busted as Grav in 6th/7th but not as
useless as Graviton in HH 2.0, feedback is always wanted and encouraged!)

Savant Lock: If any shot from a weapon with this special rule misses anything with the Flyer, Flying
Monstrous Creature, Hover or Antigrav unit sub- roll a D6 at the start of the next friendly Shooting
phase if the target unit is still on the battlefield and has not been destroyed. On a 5+, the target unit
suffers a hit (using its rear Armour Value if it is a vehicle) with the profile above.

Spool-Up!: If the model armed with the Vulcan Mega-Bolter doesn’t move in the proceeding
Movement Phase, Count the Vulcan Mega-Bolter as Heavy 25 instead of Heavy 15.
