New Homemade Data Sheet: Minotaurs
Fri, 02/19/2010 - 15:12
I was inspired from a couple different places to make this sheet. I've got a ton of Fantasy Minotaurs and was looking for a way to bring them in my next Apocalypse game.
Bonus points to the first person to tell me why I don't have to play test this at all. :D
Thanks!

It's a Tyranid Warrior brood with possible Tyranid Prime added.
Mention this counts as a Troop choice should be made. Assault Ripper should be 5pts.

Yup, correct. I knew you guys would get it, since you actually play Tyranids.
Spaced on the Deathspitter point cost. Thanks.
I was using this as an example of how to come up with new datasheets the easy way; Just steal a unit from another source. This is Apocalypse and there's no reason why anyone who wants to shouldn't be able to bring some Tyranid Warriors + a Prime.
Just try getting this past people who don't know that these are Tyranid Warriors. Power weapons that cause instant death for +10 points? No way! ;)
There are many things in the Tyranid book that can be re-purposed for some other unit types. I'm working on a Fantasy Battle dragon sheet based on a Hive Tyrant.

Nice work.
How minotaurs are you going to use as a unit?

I'm planning on getting one boxed set and the new Doom Bull. That will give me, I think, 27 Minotaurs total. I'll likely do 3 or 4 units.

I've updated the data sheet. My goal was to make it exactly like the Tyranid Warrior data sheet, and it was only laziness and misunderstanding that caused it to be different before.
I've been working on my "dragon" data sheet, with the goal of coming up with a way to bring a WFB dragon in a 40k Apocalypse game. I've been digging through most of my books and have narrowed it down to the two best contenders. It's very interesting to compare a Hive Tyrant to a Lord of Change. The Hive Tyrant has always been the Big Man on Campus of the Tyranid book (maybe not so much any more), and the Lord of Change has been the weakest of the Greater Daemons. It is funny how they are almost identical.

Looks like it is a copy of a tryanid datasheet?
