I don't often home brew, but when I do...

Based on the Penitent engine, but think the mechs from the matrix dock scene.

M7" WS4+ BS4+ S5 T6 W7 A4 LD8 SV4+

This unit contains 1-3 models, Each model is equipped with 2 Heavy bolters.

 

Wargear options:

• This model may replace both of it's Heavy Bolters with Multi-meltas
  

 

Abilites:

• Zealot becomes something like reroll 1s to hit and/or no penalty for firing heavy weapons while moving. (not sure about this one)
  
• desperate for redemption becomes something like dakka for redemption, 4+ and you can shoot at the same target again.
  

 

Faction Keywords:

Imperium, Adeptus Ministorum

 

Keywords:

Vehicle, penitent engines (or what ever this thing ends up being called)

 

So you're talking about 55 points for the penitent hull + 20 for the two heavy bolters so 75 points. Or 55 +54 for MMs, so like 109 points.

Zealot: Must fire all guns at an enemy (player choosing) and if no targets at view or at range, must move and run towards the closest enemy?

 

And somehow I am getting the feeling 2 times twin-linked storm bolters might be cool too. 

 

Fluff wise, I love the idea :)

I don't really agree with the idea of making a rule that forces you to do something especially if you want to camp an objective with them or something. I think a straight up reroll 1s would be fine as a substitute because it would count for both shooting and melee. I'm just not sure about adding the no -1 to hit for moving and shooting heavy weapons. I mean it's not as if it's going to have a problem waving around a couple of heavy bolters. 

 

nah, 2x twin storm bolter sounds a bit weak. It defo needs big guns.

 

Glad you like the idea though. :)

I actually like the 2xtwin stormbolter better Tha. The 2 heavy Bolters. It'd keep it cheaper, while giving it more shots (8-16?)
