Exigence - or - Why I Felt the Need to Create this Blog

12 August 2012.

Wow. 6th Edition is here, and I feel like it incorporated many facets of our house rules here are the Lower Register.

Go us. GW, you can have those for free.

Plz look for some updates soon as I try to figure out how my precious BA will fit in to the world of Overwatch and Random Charging distances. Gotta say, so far, I am loving the idea of 5 attacks per Death Company Marine (2 base, 2 for charging, 1 for extra weapon).

-Hax out-

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Why Lower Register? Pedro and I started playing various wargames about five years ago, but found that we just didn't have time to complete standard games. We, along with our limited pool of playing partners, decided that we would become good at skirmish games that we could enjoy on a regular basis. So, over time we amassed a body of experience in Kill Team, Warmachine, Infinity, and other such games. This blog is the natural outgrowth of that experience, and our desire to share it with you all.

Wall of Dorn

This is what happens when I try to fill out all of the FoC in my spare time. Too bad that Black Templars can't be placed in the same army. I really think that the Sons of Dorn need their own codex (combining Imperial Fists, Crimson Fists, and Black Templars in to one codex.)

Also, this is perhaps my favorite Primarch Rogal Dorn picture. It screams HUGE!

Lower Register Kill Team House Rules

Terrain: Use the normal amount of terrain/buildings/ruins suitable for a standard 6' X 4' playing surface (i.e. 25%), and arrange it uniformly on a 4' X 4' (or even 3' X 3') playing surface. Use at least five pieces of terrain; at least three should block LoS.
Morale Victory: The battle continues until one side has been reduced to half its starting models or less. The player must then take a morale (vice leadership) test at the start of each of their turns; if they fail the test then they lose. Else the battle continues, but the player must take tests on all subsequent turns, with a -1 modifier per test passed. The morale test is always done using the highest leadership value of any of the player’s surviving models.
Independent Operators: All models join and leave units as Independent Characters. In addition, when a model shoots or fights in an assault, it may split its attacks up amongst any eligible targets if desired.
