New Wargear Descriptions

Squat Exo-Armour

Carapace Armour
Carapace armour confers a 4+ save.

Power Axes
Power Axes ignore armour saves like a normal power weapon. In addition they give a +1 Strength bonus to the wielder.

Hold Banner
A Hold Banner may only be carried by a Hearthguard in a Warlord's retinue. Exo-Armoured Hearthguard may carry a Hold Banner. All Squats within 6" of the Hold Banner may add +1 to their Weapon Skill.

Options: Any squad member may have: Heavy bolter +15pts, Autocannon +20pts, Missile Launcher +20pts, Lascannon +30pts, Multi-Melta +30pts, Plasma Cannon +30pts or Conversion Beamer +30 pts.

Conversion Beamers work by converting the matter of the target to energy. This means that heavy armour is no defence. However, the beam is slow to focus, making fast targets almost impossible to hit.

The Conversion beamer requires 6+ to hit any target that moved more than 6" in its last turn. The Beamer may NEVER move and fire, not even from a vehicle. The weapon works slightly differently depending on the target.
Vs. Infantry
The Beamer scores a wound on a roll of 4+ regardless of the toughness of the target. If the beamer scores a wound, place a Blast marker over the original target. Models hit by the blast take a Strength 4 hit with an AP of 5. Note that although the Beamer can never score an 'instant kill' result, it can wound creatures with immunities to weapons of a specific strength, eg. Grotesques or Thousand Sons- but only with a direct hit.
Vs. Vehicles
The Beamer scores a glancing hit on a 3, and a penetrating hit on a 4+. Vehicles penetrated by this hit suffer an Ordnance Weapon penetrating hit. Place the Ordnance Blast marker over a penetrated vehicle- models struck by the blast take a Strength 7 hit with AP 5. Vehicles struck by the blast use the standard Penetrating Hit table if damaged.

Thudd Gun Battery

Battery: The Battery consists of 1-3 Thudd guns, with 2 Squat gunners each.
Weapons: Thudd Guns. Gunners have Boltguns or Hotshot Lasguns.

Thudd Gun: A Thudd gun may be moved up to 6" per turn, but may not move and fire. The gun fires in exactly the same way as a Griffon Heavy Mortar. (but may not fire Siege Shells) If both crew are killed then the gun is considered destroyed.

Robot Maniple

Maniple: The maniple consists of 1-4 Robots.
Weapons: Each robot has two arm weapon mounts, and may have an additional back mount. The weapons are chosen from the following list:
Close Combat Weapon (S10, +1 A, no save allowed) +10pts (Arm Only)
Siege Hammer (as above, automatically penetrates) +20pts (Arm Only)
Heavy Bolter +15pts, Autocannon +20pts, Lascannon +30pts, Multi-Melta +30 pts, Flamer +6pts, Meltagun +10pts, Boltgun +2pts.

Automated: Robots are unaffected by Crew Shaken or Crew Stunned results.
Program: A Robot must ALWAYS follow its program. Each robot has a program chosen from the list below when the robot is set up, which tells it what to do in each phase.

Defend Location- Pick a point on the battefield at the start of the first Squat turn.
Movement: Towards the objective point by the simplest possible route.
Shooting: At the nearest enemy.
Assault: Never, unless an enemy is blocking movement to the objective. Never advances or consolidates.

General Battle
Movement: 6" towards the nearest enemy in sight.
Shooting: At the nearest enemy.
Assault: Assault the nearest enemy. Always advance.

Anti-Vehicle/ Anti- Infantry. (pick one or the other)
Movement: 6" towards nearest enemy vehicle/ infantry in sight.
Shooting: At the nearest enemy vehicle/ infantry.
Assault: Assault the nearest enemy vehicle/ infantry. Always advance.
If there are no enemies of the chosen type on the battlefield at the start of any Squat turn, the robot shuts down.

Mimic (a single squad within 6")
Movement: 6" towards the squad, until within 2" of the nearest member.
Shooting: At the same target as the squad (and at the same time)
Assault: The same target as the squad. Advance/ consolidate if the squad does.
If the robot is more than 6" from the squad at the start of any Squat turn it shuts down, including if the squad is wiped out.

Shutting Down: When a robot's program instructs it to shut down, the robot stops dead and will do nothing more for the rest of the battle. It may be shot at and damaged normally, is hit automatically in close combat and does not fight back. Even if the condition that made the robot shut down ceases to be true, it will not reactivate.
