b) Rant I loved Warhammer 40,000 when it was released in its Rogue Trader incarnation 20-odd years ago. I upgraded to second edition but then rather lost interest in the whole thing. I missed third edition completely and came back to the game in fourth then fifth edition. Imagine my surprise at the changes I had missed. They may have been designed to make the game more playable but, in my humble opinion, have made the game worse. Now, in 40K 5th Edition, we can have 30 shoota boys cut loose with their Assault 2 shootas (which are no more than Rogue Trader bolt guns) and roll 60D6 to hit. OR. Thirty slugga boys, with slugga/choppa, charge in to a fight. They get 2D6 (from the profile), + 1 for charging, + 1 for 2 close-combat-weapons, means 120D6 to hit! Does anyone out there think this is insane?

Then we have the 4th/5th Edition Universal Special Rules and the codex-specific rules in each army list book. Who reading this ruleset has not encountered a "USRs say X, but my codex says Y, so I win and your squad is destroyed!" situation? It takes a dreadsock to sort out this situation. So, I have officially given up on 40K and have spent some time working on Stargrunt II from Ground Zero Games. After some searching, I found this on the Net: http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/stargrunt.html This was a great read and gave me some ideas which I have borrowed somewhat. In addition, I've used my shell-scripting and other UNIX skills to turn as many of the statlines and weapon profiles as I can into an Internet-friendly downloadable resource. I hope you enjoy this project. c) Additions and Subtractions As far as I'm concerned, SGII is a great set of rules and I've made as few changes as possible, except to try and align 40K terminology with SGII. However one addition I have made is allowing rerolls of some dice in some circumstances. These rerolls do not change the SGII rules but allow for a little more flexibility. Some examples include:

A Targeter is a 40K enhanced weapon sight. It allows the firer to reroll the Quality die and take the higher result when firing at a point target. The total number of dice rolled is still two (Quality + Firepower) but the reroll means the firer has a better chance of scoring a hit. The Preferred Enemy rule allows a model's Quality die to be rerolled in assault combat against the listed enemy. Twin-linked weapons may roll two Firepower dice and take the higher score. Only one of the dice count when totalling up hits.

The following minor deletions have been made:

The mass of abbreviations (SAW, GMS/L, RFAC, MICV, IAVR etc). I realise these are based on real-world military terms but they gave me a headache trying to get my brain around them and made SGII less fun to read. The medical facilities built in to suits of SGII Power Armour. In SGII, this "secondchance saving throw" would be incorporated into Power, Terminator, Aspect, Crisis and Broadside suits and be far too widespread to allow a balanced game. Ammunition limits for heavy weapons like missile launchers. SGII assumes realworld sizes and carrying capacities. 40K says that 30000+ years of weapon development has made these things smaller but equally powerful. I side with 40K in this case.

d) Abbreviations
2

The abbreviation RT is used for Rogue Trader, Warhammer 40,000 First edition, from which many interesting weapons, armour, equipment and races (e.g. Squats) have been dropped in later editions. This is my attempt to bring some of these lost things back to life. e) Disclaimer This document is completely unofficial and in no way endorsed by Games Workshop or Ground Zero Games. I recognise that terms such as Space Marine, Warboss, Eldar, Tau, Necron and Tyranid are trademarks of Games Workshop. Further, terminology from SGII (for example Quality, Confidence, Open and Closed shifts) are the intellectual properties of Ground Zero Games.

1) Army Organisation
a) Structure In 40K an army consists of five distinct unit types:

HQ Elites Troops Fast Attack Heavy Support

A 40K army must comprise at least 1 HQ unit and 2 Troops units. This rather blows the SGII concept of Squad/Platoon/Company/Battalion/Regiment organisation out of the water. Some armies are organised in the SGII manner (Imperial Guard) but most are not. Armies MUST be organised in some way. If they are not, they become mere rabble and could never accomplish their missions. So, to mimic some command level organisation use the following:

HQ choices have First Level (Company) command authority. Elite choices have Second Level (Platoon) command authority. Troops/Fast Attack/Heavy Support choices have Third Level (Squad) command authority.

In addition, named characters, regardless of position/role within the army's background, can also have some command authority. Usually these characters are HQ choices but some (like Ultramarines Scout Sergeant Telion who should be a Troops choice and therefore restricted to Squad command authority) could be granted command authority one level higher than normal. Famous HQ choices, including Ork Warlord Ghazkull Thraka or Ultramarines Chapter Master Marneus Calgar, could have command authority one or more levels higher than Company level, i.e. up to Battalion or even Regimental Level. This should be decided and documented before play.

Communication between designated command levels is a standard leadership roll, per SGII. b) Tech Level SGII has specific rules for ECM, Fire Control, Sensors and Guided Missiles. It seems each can vary from army-to-army and even unit-to-unit within each army. To simplify all this, assign a Tech Level to the overall army and use this for most technical tests. For example Tech Level PRIMITIVE BASIC ENHANCED SUPERIOR Die Type Examples D4 Ancient-Mediaeval Lost Worlds/Tribal/Feral D6 Orks, Imperial Guard, Tyranids D8 Marines, Eldar, Chaos, Squats D10 Tau, Necrons

This could then be shifted one level UP for each army's "technical specialists" (Techmarines, Mekboyz, Imperial Guard Tech Priests). Use the Tech Level not just for ECM and so on but for repair rolls on damaged equipment and vehicles. NOTE: 40K 5th Edition does not go into great detail about which troops carry which equipment. Orks don't have communicators, for example, and a Vox Caster is a special piece of kit carried by Imperial Guard command squads. However, each race must have some sort of Tech Level: any race capable of interstellar travel should be capable of making a walkietalkie, for example. While this does not seem applicable to primitive cultures, there must be some game balance in assigning a D4 to these races. After all, there might be radio blindspots or magnetic anomalies on an alien world that could divert a guided missile or scramble an enemy's communication, if only for one activation. c) Motivation This should be scenario- or army-dependent. As a guideline:

LOW: animals, Gretchin, non-synapse-controlled Tyranids. MEDIUM: Most troops of all races. HIGH: All Marines, Imperial Demonhunters/Witch-hunters, Chaos, Tyranids.

NOTE: More examples are needed above. Applicable 40K USRs (see section 7): Fearless, Preferred Enemy, Stubborn Back to Contents.

2) Unit Stat Lines

The idea is to translate the 40K stat lines to something that can be used in SGII but keeping the "40k-flavour" of a stat line without the on-table counters.

a) Mobility (M) In 40K 5th edition, all Infantry move at 6", so they all have 6"/D6x2 for their Mobility.

Normal Troops: 6"/D6x2. Light Troops: 8"/D8x2 (e.g. Scouts, Kommandos, Eldar Rangers) 8"/D8x2. Jump Infantry: Up to 12"/D12x2 (See the RT Jump Pack rules in the Equipment section). Slow Power Armour: 6"/D6x2 (e.g. Terminator, Imperial Power Armour, Eavy Armour). Fast Power Armour: 8"/D8x2 (e.g. Eldar Aspect Armour, Tau Crisis Suits). Beasts/Cavalry/Riding Lizards: 8"/D8x2.

b) Quality (Q) Quality is needed for combat and the following SGII tests: Communication, Action Transfers, Rallying, Remove Suppression, Panic Tests, Confidence Tests, Reaction Tests. The question is: how to translate 40K stats to this? Start by totalling the model's "combat stats": WS, BS, S, T, W, I, A . These are supposed to measure the model's inate skills at ranged and assault combat plus how well they dish-out and take damage. (Ld and Sv will be used for different purposes later) and rate the stats as follows. Stat Quality Troop Type Creature Type Examples Range Die <= 10 D4 UNTRAINED FEEBLE Tyranid Spore Mine Gretchin, Tau Shield Drone, Imperial 11 - 16 D6 GREEN WEAK Guard Conscript Eldar, Marines, Imperial Guard (i.e. 17 - 23 D8 REGULAR DANGEROUS most humans), Ork Boyz Ork Warboss, Space Marine Captain, 24 - 30 D10 VETERAN VICIOUS Eldar Exarch Tyranid Hive Tyrant, Squat Warlord, > 30 D12 ELITE MONSTROUS Eldar Wraithlord NOTE: 40K allows many Monstrous Creatures which aren't trained soldiers by any stretch of the imagination. More descriptive terms for such creatures are shown in the chart above. c) Armour Value (AV) Based on the 40K Sv value of the model's armour. Note that no shift is applicable due to the model's Toughness (T is used as part of the Quality calculation and should not be counted twice).
5

Armour Value Examples Die - D4 No armour, basic battledress, normal clothing 6,5 D6 Ork Armour, IG Flak, Mesh, Eldar Guardian Carapace, some Aspect Armour, Ork 'Eavy Armour, Marine Scout 4 D8 Armour 3 D10 Marine Powered Armour, some Aspect Armour, Squat Exo Armour 2 D12 Terminator Armour, Ork Mega Armour Sv If a model is equipped with energy armour and/or an Invulnerable Save then it gets its normal physical armour save (as above) and, if that fails, gets its 40K Invulnerable Save on D6. This seems the simplest option. Some such saves are listed in the Equipment - Armour section. Dreadnoughts are now classed as Vehicles, rather than very heavy armour. d) Leadership Value (LV)

40K Ld <= 6: gives an SGII LV of 3. (e.g IG Conscript, Gretchin, Gaunts). 40K Ld = 7, 8, 9: gives an SGII LV of 2 (e.g. Orks, Marines, Eldar, Imperial Guard). 40K Ld => 10 : gives an SGII LV of 1. (e.g. Space Marine Captains, Necrons, Tyranid Warriors).

e) Confidence Level (CL) To avoid a lot of mucking around at the start of the game, all units should start with a Confidence Level of CONFIDENT (CO). This can degrade over time. Degraded Confidence affects the actions a unit can take. However, you may still use the starting Confidence rules described in SGII to add some realism to the game (which 40K sorely lacks).

3) Confidence and Reaction Summary

a) Basic System Confidence and Reaction use the same basic mechanism. The main difference between the two tests is that a failed Confidence Test reduces the unit's CL, while a failed Reaction Test does not. The basic mechanism is: Roll Quality Die vs. the squad (or squad leader's) Leadership Value (LV) modified for a Threat Level (TL), if any. A roll HIGHER than the LV+TL is a success; any other roll fails. b) RT Psychology NOTE: This might be a start point for working out "alien-human" psychological differences. Make a Reaction Test to avoid these effects if the unit is subject to them.

Frenzy: Must charge nearest enemy; shift up one die in assault combat, cannot be routed; must follow-through on retreating enemy. Fear: May not charge, routs automatically if charged, rout test if attacked by weapons it fears. Units may also cause fear, as determined before the game. If so, they have a Terror Effect (similar to flamers) which should be taken into account. Hatred: Must move towards hated enemy: must charge hated enemy as soon as in reach: cannot be routed by hated enemy. Confusion: Shift down one die for ALL tests; half movement; may not be form a detached element; no psychic attacks. Panic: Make a Reaction test if attacked while already in close assault. If the test is failed, the unit's Confidence Level immediately drops one level. Stupidity: Units affected by stupidity take a Reaction Test at the beginning of its activation. If it fails one of the following effects apply: it stops fighting even if in an assault combat; it forgets its orders and makes a combat move in a random direction but not towards an enemy unit; the unit remains stationary, staring blankly into the sky. Animosity: A unit cannot cooperate with one or more units on its own side. It must make a Reaction Test if there are friendly units within charge reach or two range bands, unless enemy troops are closer. If the Reaction Test is failed, the unit must shoot at or attempt to charge the friendly unit.

c) Alien Psychology SGII was designed to simulate SF combat between human armies, where the psychology is not that much different from today. Alien races were to be the subject of a supplement which
9

was to address the typical "humans in funny suits as aliens" stereotypes seen in many SF movies and literature. 40K doesn't even attempt that but here are some very limited suggestions on how some 40K races might react in different situations.

Space Marines are trained not to grieve over fallen comrades until after the battle is won. A Space Marine unit would not take confidence tests if receiving casualties. Eldar are a bit different. The Eldar race is dying out. Each Eldar trooper slain will never be replaced by the natural birth rate. Eldar might be driven into a frenzy to retrieve their fallen comrades' spirit stones or have their confidence shattered if they take even one casualty. Orks don't seem to care either way. So long as there are enough Boyz they are Fearless and don't mind taking a kicking if the enemy is stronger than they are. However, Orks are known to bear a grudge, so the Animosity rules above could apply. Chaos Marines, again, don't care about fallen comrades. However they may be subject to Frenzy and Hatred and even Confusion or Stupidity, depending on their Chaos allegiance and patron-demons. Necrons are killing machines so would not take confidence tests on receiving casualties particularly if they have the (insane) "We'll be back!" rule. However, the "Phase out" rule could be applied as a lowering of CL to Routed, as the Necron Warriors flee the battle. Tyranids are vicious alien monsters. They do not care about casualties, as any dead Tyranids are reabsorbed and rebuilt after the battle. These creatures may be subject to Frenzy. Lesser Tyranids may be subject to Stupidity, Confusion or Fear if out of contact ("Synapse Range") with a more powerful creature. Tau are not great at 40K close combat. They may be subject to Fear (when charged) or Panic if charged while already in assault combat.

Obviously, these rules will need a lot more work. Back to Contents.

4) Movement Summary 40K Additions

a) 40K Troop Types Special Rules

Jump Infantry: Jump Infantry can cross intervening terrain with no penalty. See the RT Jump Pack rules in the Equipment section 10b for more information. Stealthy Units: Space Marine Scouts, Eldar Rangers, Ork Kommandos and so on can be placed and played as SGII Hidden Units.

10

Mounted Troops: 40K allows cavalry on the future battlefields and such riders are also permitted in SGII. Cavalry, riding lizards and similar creatures have a D8"/D8x2 Mobility die.

b) Applicable 40K USRs (see section 7) Fleet, Move Through Cover, Skilled Rider, Relentless, Slow and Purposeful, Turbo Boosters, Infiltrate, Scouts, Rage c) Special Weapons

Pistol, Assault and Rapid Fire: may move and fire as normal. 40K Heavy Weapons: May move OR fire. If the figure or squad moves, the weapon may not be fired. Turning to aim does not count as movement, however. Optionally, troops with heavy weapons are slowed down 1 die type (usually down to 4"/D4x2) unless wearing Power, Mega, Aspect, Terminator, Crisis or Broadside Armour. The Relentless and Slow and Purposeful USRs can negate the move-or-fire restriction; troops equipped with Suspensors (described in the Equipment section 10) can negate the Mobility restriction but not the move-or-fire restriction (unless armoured as above as well!). Ordnance Weapons: must be vehicle- or platform-mounted. If platform-mounted (e.g. Ork Kannon or Eldar grav-platforms) Mobility die is reduced one die type.

5) Ranged Combat 40K Additions

a) Applicable 40K USRs (see section 7) Eternal Warrior, Feel No Pain, Vulnerable to Blasts/Templates, Swarms, Stealth, Stubborn, Fearless, Tank Hunters. b) Multi-wound Models If a model has more than one Wound on its 40K profile, it may take more than one wound before it dies. These wounds need to be recorded on the unit roster. In APPENDIX 1 (WH40K 5th Edition to SGII Stat Lines) these wound totals have been added to the Special column for all models with more than one 40K Wound. For example, a Space Marine Captain has three Wounds in 40K. If the Captain takes two wounds, he is OK. The third wound will put him out of the fight (or until attended by a Medic). c) Area Weapons (40K Blast weapons) 40K uses a lot of area-effect or blast weapons. How to hit a single point if firing individually and not as support fire to the rest of the squad's small arms fire? This is particularly important for, say, Space Marine Devastator Squads and those troops equipped with some of the more interesting grenade types from RT.

11

Missile must be targeted at a single recognisable point (e.g. a figure in the target unit, a corner of a building) but not simply at an empty patch of ground. Firer rolls Quality Die + Firepower Die. Target rolls its Range Die. MISS (attacker's rolls both > target's roll) = missile is completely off target. MINOR HIT = missile deviates D6" at D12 o'clock; only count missile's firepower into squad's small-arms if the deviation still lands covering the target unit. MAJOR HIT = spot on!

d) Close Only Weapons NOTE: The specification of "Close Only" for some 40K weapons was entirely the designer's choice, based on what seemed right and could be scripted easily when converting 40K stats to SGII. Please feel free to ignore this restriction if it seems wrong. Small-arms fire in SGII allows some weapons to fire quite long distances, based on the Quality of the trooper firing. A Space Marine (Quality 8) could fire a boltgun to range bands of 8", 16", 24", 32" and 40", which significantly exceeds the maximum 40K range of a boltgun (24"). This is not a problem as we are playing SGII, not 40K. However, Pistols and some short ranged weapons have a "Close Only" range limitation. In SGII this would mean they are only effective to one range band, as determined by the firer's Quality. Of course this has a negative impact on some weapons and troops. For example, an Eldar Guardian is armed with a Shuriken Catapult with a 40K range of 12". However, the SGII "Close Only" rule would restrict this Guardian to a one range band, or just 8" which obviously reduces the effectiveness of this trooper. To counteract this, the weapon may be fired into the next range band higher to a maximum of its listed range. The Guardian's range bands are 8", 16", 24", 32" and 40". He may fire the Shuriken Catapult to its maximum range of 12", which is within the second range band, but not up to 16" (the furthest distance of the second range band). The other side of the coin is the Imperial Guard Hot-shot Laspistol. This has a maximum 40K range of 6". If fired by a Commissar with Quality D8, whose first range band should be 8", the Hot-shot Laspistol is still restricted to its maximum 6" range, rather than the 8" permitted by the Commissar's Quality. e) Allocating Casualties SGII allows very detailed casualty allocation. This works well in small games but slows down larger ones. These ideas combine some of SGII's ideas with those from 40K.

12

For ranged combat use the SGII "Quick and Dirty" casualty allocation rules. Any models wounded are assumed to be out of the fight for the rest of the game or until attended by a medic. As per 40K, the player whose squad has taken the casualties can decide which models are removed. f) Ammunition Supplies for Heavy Weapons SGII recommends missile launchers and similar have a supply of only three missiles per launcher. 40K does not apply such limits except in very rare cases. Accordingly, in these rules you may assume an unlimited ammunition supply for missile and grenade launchers. 30000+ years of weapon development have made such missiles smaller but no less powerful than their modern (in this case ancient) counterparts. Back to Contents.

6) Assault Combat 40K Additions

a) Applicable 40K USRs (see section 7) Counter-attack, Eternal Warrior, Feel No Pain, Furious Charge, Hit and Run, Preferred Enemy, Stubborn, Fearless b) Multi-wound Models If a model has more than one Wound on its 40K profile, it may take more than one wound before it dies. These wounds need to be recorded on the unit roster. In APPENDIX 1 (WH40K 5th Edition to SGII Stat Lines) these wound totals have been added to the Special column for all models with more than one 40K Wound. For example, a Space Marine Captain has three Wounds in 40K. If the Captain takes two wounds, he is OK. The third wound will put him out of the fight (or until attended by a Medic). c) Close-assault Specialists A model's basic number of attacks from its 40K statline have already been factored in when determining the model's Quality. For those troops who carry more than one close-combat weapon (Ork Boyz with Slugga/Choppa, Assault Marines with Bolt Pistol/Chainsword, among others), SHIFT UP ONE in assault combat. d) Grenades in Assault Troops equipped with Frag, Krak, Stikkbombs, Plasma and Photon grenades are assumed to throw these as they start an assault. SHIFT UP ONE on the turn they initiate a charge. This has no effect if they are charged. d) 40K Power Weapons Power weapons in 40K allow no armour save. In SGII, there is no armour save allowed in any close assault. Use the following rules for power weapons

Shift up one die for power weapon equipped troops in close assault.

13

Troops that lose a combat (i.e. are "down" and marked with a white skull marker) roll D6 to see if they survive: 1-3 = Dead; 4,5 = Wounded; 6 = OK. (This wound-chart is deadlier than the normal assault combat wound chart.)

e) Mounted-vs-foot Combats If a Mounted trooper attacks an Infantry trooper, shift the Mounted trooper's Quality die UP one, to simulate the height advantage. If attacking another Mounted trooper, or a model of approximately equal size, there is no shift applicable. Back to Contents.

7) 40K Universal Special Rules

This section attempts to convert the 40K USRs to SGII terminology and effects.

Counter-attack: The unit need not take a Confidence Test if assaulted. Eternal Warrior: Fated to survive. May ignore the first KILL roll from fire combat (i.e. Impact Roll > 2xArmour Roll) and/or the first DEAD roll in assault combat (i.e. loses a combat and rolls 1-2 on the D6 effect roll). Fearless: The unit may ignore Threat Levels in Confidence and Reaction Tests. Feel No Pain: Shift Armour Die up one if shot at. If already at AV D12, this ability allows a reroll of the Armour Die. If losing an assault, roll D6: 1 = Dead; 2-3 = Wounded; 4-6 = OK. Fleet: Shift Mobility die one die type up (usually up to D8). Furious Charge: Shift Quality up one die on the charge. If Quality already at D12 (either innate or for other special rules) this rule allows the Quality die to be rerolled. Hit and Run: May break off from an assault without taking a Confidence Test. Infiltrate: May be deployed as Hidden Units. Move Through Cover: Count Poor terrain as Clear. Night Vision/Acute Senses: Counts as Enhanced Sensors (D8) when spotting hidden units. If already classed as having Enhanced Sensors, shift up one die type (to D10). Preferred Enemy: In close combat, roll an extra Quality die against the preferred enemy and take the higher roll. Rage: Must move towards the nearest enemy and assault as soon as possible. Relentless: May move-AND-fire Heavy Weapons. Scouts: After all deployment is complete, Scouts may make a normal move before the first activation. If both sides have Scouts roll 1D6 for each scout unit and the highest roll may make the first move (reroll ties).
14

Skilled Rider: Count Poor terrain as Clear and Difficult terrain as Poor. This assumes Bikes are High-mobility wheeled vehicles, Jetbikes are Grav vehicles and horses, riding lizards etc count as Normal Infantry. Slow and Purposeful: Count as Relentless but must roll two Mobility dice and take the higher roll to determine distance moved. For a combat move, multiply the higher roll by 2. Stealth: Trained to make best use of cover and always count as In Position when fired at or on the first round in which they are assaulted. Stubborn: Count has having HIGH Mission Motivation, therefore does not test for first suppression, taking casualties, abandoning casualties. Swarms: Tiny creatures which count as having Stealth (in position) but are also Vulnerable to Blasts/Templates. Tank Hunters: Shift Impact up one die type when firing at or assaulting vehicles. If attacked by a vehicle (e.g. 40K Tank Shock) automatically passes any associated Confidence or Reaction test. Turbo Boosters: Bikes or Jetbikes equipped with boosters may move 24" (twice the normal 12" for all vehicles) but may not shoot. If shot at, the firer's Quality die is shifted down one level to account for aiming at fast moving targets. Vulnerable to Blasts/Templates: For infantry, shift Armour Die down one level if hit by area-effect weapons (e.g. frag missiles, flamers, Tyranid Venom Cannon). For vehicles, penetrating hits destroy the vehicle if the attacker's roll is greater than the vehicle's armour roll (rather than twice the armour roll).

8) Equipment - Weapons
a) Converting 40K weapons to SGII Technically, any 40K "Heavy" weapon that is carried by an infantry squad is a Support Weapon. Any weapons which should be vehicle or platform mounted would qualify as SGII Heavy Weapons. Optionally, those weapons restricted to Terminators would also be an SGII Heavy Weapon. To translate 40K weapon profiles from Name, Range, Strength, Armour Piercing, Type, ROF, Special Features to SGII ratings of Name, Range Limit, Firepower, Impact The following conversion rules-of-thumb may be used:

All 40K Pistols have "Close Only" range limitation.

Some make sense, others do not and some allow tiny varitions in a weapon's effects that are only rarely used. These exceptions make can 40K difficult to play. The special weapons rules are: Rapid Fire, Assault, Heavy, Pistol, Ordnance, Template, Normal Blast, Large Blast, Pinning, Gets Hot!, Twin-linked, Rending, Sniper, Barrage, Melta, Lance. These special rules translate to SGII terminology as follows.

Rapid Fire, Assault and Pistol: standard SGII small-arms but Pistols have the "Close Only" range limitation. Heavy Weapons: May move OR fire (turning to aim does not count as movement). Optionally, shift Mobility down one die type. Template: have the Terror power (whether a flamer or stream of Tyranid grubs is irrelevant: both can squeeze between gaps in armour and are equally nasty). Blast Weapons: have a 3" diameter (1.5" radius). Large Blast Weapons: have 5" diameter (2.5" radius). Pinning weapons: Reaction Test (TL2). Move towards nearest cover if failed. Sniper: Units hit by sniper fire are automatically suppressed, even if they suffer no casualties. Rending: Double the Impact roll vs. all targets.
18

Twin-linked: at point-targets roll two Firepower dice and take the highest; at dispersed targets, count the Firepower twice. Barrage: High trajectory fire. Use SGII rules for Artillery. Lance: Downgrade vehicle Armour Value one level. Melta: Double the Impact roll against vehicles if firing from less than half range. Gets Hot!: If Firepower die roll is 1 or 2 the weapon has overheated and may not fire next turn. Optionally, if Impact vs. Armour roll wins, the firer is wounded. Ordnance: Very heavy weapons which must be vehicle- or platform-mounted.

e) RT Grenades Many interesting grenade types were dropped from later editions of 40K. Here are some suggested SGII equivalents. Name Frag Krak Melta Plasma Toxin Knockout Stumm IMPACT D6 D10 D12 D10 D12 D6 D6 AREA 1.5" -1" 1.5" 1.5" 1.5" 1.5" SPECIAL Use on vehicles, dreadnoughts, buildings Power/Aspect/Terminator/Crisis/Broadside/Sealed Suit troops are immune. Others are debilitated for the turn (shift all tests down 1) if they fail a Quality test at target number 4. Radius of effect must be secretly recorded. Rad-suits provide complete protection. Power/Aspect/Terminator/Crisis/Broadside armour may not (scenario specific). Use on vehicles, dreadnoughts. Roll as for vehicles; may lead to suspension damage, immobilised or destruction (or at least out-of-action until repaired). No effect on Power/Aspect/Terminator/Crisis/Broadside armour. Make save if eye-protection worn. Otherwise roll Quality: 1-3 Blinded; 4-5: Dazzled for D3 turns; 6-8: Dazzled 1 turn; 9+ OK Blinded troops may move randomly or stay still and automatically lose assaults. Dazzled troops shift down 1 for all actions and movement. Destroys all plant-matter. No shooting or moving through the cloud. If in the area, troops act as blinded by Photon grenade. Sensors/ECM are blocked. As Blind grenade but Sensors/ECM are not blocked. Power/Aspect/Terminator/Sealed Suit/Crisis/Broadside troops are immune. All others may do nothing that turn on a

10) Equipment - Other Items

Included here are some of the interesting bits from Rogue Trader that got missed out of later editions. a) Basic Kit Breathing Apparatus: Gives immunity to Choke, Knockout, Scare gases and hard vacuum. Various types e.g. gas masks, nose filters, bionic lungs or even gills (allows breathing underwater). Power/Aspect/Terminator/Crisis/Broadside armour are assumed to include breathing apparatus of a type suitable to that armour and the race that makes it. Communicator: from the basic walkie-talkie, throat-mikes and ear-beads, tiny commlinks built into helmets, up to backpack rigs with planet-wide transmission/reception capability. Assume that all suits of Power/Aspect/ Terminator/Crisis/Broadside armour have these built in and for all other races that there is at least one per squad (unless Orks have to shout REALLY LOUD). Flash Protection: Various types including visors, goggles, eye-drops and built in to Power/Aspect/Terminator/Crisis/Broadside armour. Give a D6 save of 4,5,6 vs. blinding attacks. Infravision devices: Allow the wearer to see body heat, through soft cover, in darkness or through smoke but NOT Blind grenades. May be goggles, visors or (rarely) built into Power/Aspect/Terminator/Crisis/Broadside armour. Count as Enhanced Electronic Sensors (D8) when trying to spot hidden troops. Las-cutter: Impact D12 when used to attack buildings/vehicles. Very heavy, shift Mobility down 1 die type. A low-tech Ork equivalent is the Burna. Sealed suit: A loose-fitting gas- and virus-proof suit which is worn over the trooper's normal clothing. Grants immunity to gas and virus grenades. However, if the wearer is hit (but not wounded) in combat, make a Tech Level roll vs. Target number of 3. If this is failed (i.e. roll <= 3) the suit is punctured and useless until repaired. If the target is hit AND wounded, assume the suit is automatically punctured. This level of protection is assumed to be built in to Power/Aspect/Terminator/Crisis/Broadside armour. Rad suit: A loose-fitting radiation-proof suit which is worn over the trooper's normal clothing. Grants immunity to rad grenades and other background or weaponised radiation sources. However, if the wearer is hit (but not wounded) in combat, make a Tech Level roll vs. Target number of 3. If this is failed (i.e. roll <= 3) the suit is punctured and useless until repaired. If the target is hit AND wounded, assume the suit is automatically punctured. Note: Power/Aspect/Terminator/Crisis/Broadside armour are not necessarily considered radiationproof. Cameleoline: Mimetic-camouflage fabric or paint that blends with its background, rendering the wearer almost invisible. If a hidden trooper is equipped with Cameleoline and a spot attempt is made, the wearer rolls TWO quality dice and takes the higher result to compare against the spotter's quality and sensor dice rolls.

22

RT Jump Pack: Maximum jump distance is 12" and can clear obstacles up to human height. Higher obstacles can be cleared with a corresponding decrease in horizontal distance (typically 8" for single-storey buildings or 4" for higher obstacles). Make combat moves of 1D12x2, 1D8x2 and 1D4x2 respectively. To land "on target" make a Quality roll for the unit, target number 2 (+0 TL for an 12" long jump; +1 for 8" medium jump; +2 for a 4" high jump). If this roll fails, the unit deviates from the target point by D6" at D12 o'clock. If making a combat move and one of the dice roll a 1, then one of the squad lands badly and may take a wound. Roll Impact of D8 vs. the jumper's Armour Value. If Impact > Armour, the jumper is wounded. RT Flight Pack: May be controlled manually or by spinal/neural/psychic link from Power/Aspect/Terminator/Crisis/Broadside Armour. Can lift one human-sized flyer and some kit (including one heavy weapon). Mobility die D12. Combat move D12x2. Can hover in place. If attempting risky manoeuvres, make a Quality die test with a base target of 2. Threat Levels can be agreed in play. RT Gravity-chute: the 40K paratrooper's kit. The wearer can be air-inserted from a flying vehicle at any height and will land safely. Roll a Quality die test, Target number 2, to see if the unit lands at the designated point. If this roll is failed, the unit will scatter 2D6" at D12 o'clock and may land in poor or impassable terrain. Porta-rack: a torture and interrogation device. If used to interrogate captive enemy, the questioner may count his Quality die one higher to account for the device's effects. b) Technical Kit Bioscanner: Detects lifeforms within a range of 10" and a 4" diameter from the chosen point. Counts as Enhanced Electronic Sensors (D8) when trying to spot hidden troops. If the army or the user is already at this Tech Level (D8) or higher, shift one level up when equipped with this device (maximum D12). Energy Scanner: Detects energy emissions within a range of 10" and a 4" diameter from the chosen point. Counts as Enhanced Electronic Sensors (D8) when trying to spot hidden vehicles. If the army or the user is already at this Tech Level (D8) or higher, shift one level up when eqipped with this device (maximum D12). Rad-counter: Detects radiation and strength within a range of 18" and a 4" diameter from the chosen point. Targeter: The firer may reroll the Quality die (taking the higher result) when firing a weapon equipped with a targeter at a point target. Suspensor: Small anti-grav devices which may be attached to weapons and other gear to neutralise weight penalties. One suspensor is needed to offset one Mobility die penalty. c) Medical Kit Medi-pack: Battle-field first aid kit. Heal wounds, neutralise drugs or counter the effects of gas weapons. Comes in many forms, from the Narthecium and Reductor of the Space Marine Apothecaries, through an Ork Painboy's Urty Syringe, to the swarms of healing microbes and insectoids of the Tyranids.
23

Frenzon drugs: Injected or ingested before or during the battle to cause fear, hatred, confusion or frenzy (perhaps others) in the taker. Immune: A drug which provides short term (e.g. 24 hours or one standard day) immunity to disease (but not poison). Stimulant: A wake-up drug which cancels confusion effects. Stumm antidote: Negates the incapacitating effects of stumm gas. Websolvent: Used to disolve webbing from web pistols and heavy webbers. All troops equipped with Webbers or Heavy Webbers have a supply of this solvent. d) Bionics Arm: Shift one die up in close assault due to the crushing strength of the arm. Such bionics may also include a built in weapon (hand flamers are a favourite!) Leg: Shift one die up in close assault due to the incredible round-house kicks these limbs can deliver. If the model has two bionic legs, it may jump up to 12" horizontally or 6" vertically. Ears: Count as Enhanced Sensors (D8) when attempting to spot hidden enemy units. If the user is already at this Tech Level or higher, shift one die UP (maximum D12). Eyes: Count as Enhanced Sensors when attempting to spot hidden enemy units. If the user is already at this Tech Level or higher, shift one die UP (maximum D12). May also have one built-in function chosen from: infra-vision; targeter; flash-protection;bio-scanner; energyscanner. Back to Contents.

And They Shall Know No Fear: All Space Marine characters and units never test for panic (like veterans/elites), ignore first suppression test (due to High motivation) and ignore the first drop in Confidence (from whatever source). Combat Squads: Any Space Marine squad can form a detatched element at any time without spending an action (though the player should still state it's happening). Further, activating detatched Marine elements do not need a successful action transfer from the squad leader. [1] Combat Tactics: With a Captain on-table, any Space Marine unit may choose to fail any Confidence or Reaction test and abide by the result. This does not require a Communications Test. [2] Liturgies of Battle: allow the Chaplain (and his unit) to reroll Quality dice on the turn they initiate an assault
26

[3] Mindlock: If not controlled by a Techmarine, Servitors must make a Quality roll (TN3) or do nothing that turn Space Marines have, in some ways, been downgraded to a Quality of REGULAR, rather than the more realistic (if 40K could be described as such) VETERAN or ELITE Quality. This is because SGII would not field an entire army of highly skilled power armoured troops. Rather, instead of a Space Marine strikeforce, an SGII "Army of the Imperium" would consist of Imperial Guard Platoon(s) with an attached squad of Space Marines as their elites. Hopefully, by sticking to the SGII principle of "most troops are REGULARS with Quality of D8", 40K-SGII will gain some game balance. Also this restores some of the original 40K background. There are one million worlds in the Imperium and 1000 Marine Chapters of 1000 Brother Marines. That's one million Space Marines or one to guard each world. An entire Battle Company of Marines would not be deployed to a single warzone unless the situation was desperate. The Space Marine special rules, adapted from 40K to SGII terminology, will hopefully make REGULAR Marines more special than the REGULAR grunts of other armies. If, however, you want to play an "Army of the Imperium", base your force on Imperial Guard or their allies, and field a couple of Marine squads with their Quality upgraded to VETERAN or ELITE.

[1] Minesweepers: Gretchin Mobz may clear minefields (not normally possible in SGII) but lose 3D6 Grots in the process. [2] Mob Rule: Boyz Mobs with more than 11 Boyz are Fearless. This normally applies to all Orkz but this limitation is for a bit of game balance. [3] Waaagh!: Declared by the Warboss once per game on any activation after the first. All Furious Charge units get Fleet of Foot on that turn but if the combat move roll is a 1, a Boy takes a wound (Impact D8 vs. Armour Value).

We'll Be Back (optional): A wounded/damaged Necron (other than Scarab Swarms) may attempt to self-repair on its unit's next activation. Make a Tech Level test, Target Number 3. Modify this with a Threat Level of +1 if hit by Blast or Gets Hot! weapons, +2 hit by Power, Heavy or Melta Weapons, +3 if hit by Ordnance Weapons. If successful (i.e. roll higher than 3+TL) the Necron gets back into the fight. Phase Out (optional): If the We'll Be Back rule is in use, any Necron squad reduced to 25% of it starting strength has its Confidence immediately drop to Routed and vanishes from the battlefield.
