Цикл "Ересь Хоруса", книга сорок первая - Повелитель Человечества

Перевод спойлера:

-Магнус нехило раздолбал ворота вебвея свои сообщением. Император винит Магнуса в этом, но без особой горечи, а скорее фаталистично. Прорыв был назван "глупостью Магнуса".
-Император вынужден сидеть на Золотом Троне, чтобы предотвратить поглощение Терры расколом. Позже Сестры Тишины подключают тысячу псайкеров к нему и это позволяет Императору временно покинуть трон.
-Импи, Кусты, Сестры и лояльные Мехи, все борются с Демонами в вэбвее. Мирожеры и Легио Аудакс сражаются против имперцев и никто не знает, как они туда попали.
-Император на троне на протяжении большей части книги и постоянно разговаривает с Трибуном Кустов. Он доверил ему много своих мыслей и на протяжении всей книги Трибун получает проблески из памяти Императора
-Война не идет хорошо для имперцев и демон Драк'ниен (да, тот что внутри меча Аббы будет) постоянно вселяется в людей и прыгает от тела к телу. Драк'ниен был рожден после первого убийства в истории человечества (Каин и Авель)
-Большая часть книги либо сражение с демонами, либо болтовня Импи с трибуном. Особых откровений или срывов покровов нет, как и предупреждал АДБ.
-Многие лоялы Мехи жалеют о потере Марса и в конце концов покидают императора через вэбвэй, полагая, что они могут так добраться до Марса. Это подрывает Имперские силы и Император решает запечатать портал навечно.
-Перед тем как запечатать Драк'ниена в Куста Трибуна, он говорит ему убежать в вэбвей настолько далеко насколько тот сможет. У Куста столько силы воли, что Драк'ниен не может захватить его, фактически он становится тюрьмой для демона и сейчас бродит по паутине
Общие замечания по книге:
-Немалая часть книги это описание пути от терры до ворот вэбвея. Император построил его, как действительно большую и массивную вещь, предназначенную для путешествия людей по всей галактике через них. Это что-то вроде аэропорта на стероидах и с тронным залом в качестве зала ожидания.
-Кратко описывают детство Императора. Будучи подростком неолитической эпохи из деревни на среднем востоке, он занимался подготовкой тел для похоронных ритуалов. Он наслаждался этой работой и видел ее как произведение искусства, это было аллюзией на создание Примархов. Когда он готовил труп отца, он понял, что убийство совершил дядя из-за какого-то мелкого спора. Император спокойно воспринимает это, но он идет к своему дяде и останавливает его сердце своими психическими силами.
-Император кажется не считает Примархов своими сыновьями, он называет их образцами по их номерам, Фулгрим к примеру "Третий"
-Флэшбэк императора и Архан Лэнда смотрящих на валяющегося без сознания Ангрона сразу после того, как его забрали. Они говорят, что Гвозди не могу быть извлечены, не убив его, но император холодно говорит, что в то время как Ангрон сломан, он все еще может быть полезным и не должен быть уничтожен.
-Импи возился со своим триумфом на Улланоре и поддерживал свой нынешний облик "Золотого бога" только ради помпы и пиара. Он считает все это жалким и поэтому посвятил всего себя только проекту Вэбвея и судьбе человечества как правителей галактики. Проект Вэбвея был для него всем.
-Силы Императора прикольные и анимешные. Он телепортируется мгновенно, создавая остаточные изображения. В одной сцене Драк'ниен пронзает его тело, которое оказывается остаточным изображением, тогда как настоящий Импи уже сзади него. Он также призывает армию "духов" умерших имперских слуг, что бы победить демонов. Феррус среди них.
-Архан Лэнд является лидером сил Механикумов внутри Вэбвея. Он остается верен императору во всем и абсолютно шарообразен. Он летает вокруг на анти-грав Лэнд Рейдере с Волькит оружием.
-Там есть раненый кровавый ангел, который был частью Крестового похода и борется вместе с Кустодес. Он является единственным заметным персонажем десантником в этой книге.
-Импи считает Кустодес его лучшей работой и каждый из них является отдельным произведением искусства сам по себе.
-Полуподтверждено, что Кустодес были теми, кто избавился от Громовых воинов
-Есть чудной намек на то, что император был тем, кто написал Пиноккио. Опять же, это аллюзия на создание Примархов.
-В книге император, кажется считает Хоруса и войну в большей степени отвлечением/раздражением. Он больше сосредоточен на Вэбвее и угрозе Хаоса/Демонов.

Спойлер-оригинал:
Magnus ****ed over the Webway gate on Terra hard with his warning to the Emperor. Confirmed that the Emperor blames Magnus for the whole thing, but doesn't seem THAT bitter about it, more accepting and fatalistic. The breach has been named "Magnus' folly".
-The Emperor is forced to sit on the Golden Throne to avoid the rift from consuming Terra. Later on the Sisters of Silence plug a thousand psykers into it and it allows the Emperor to leave the throne temporarily.
-Emperor, Custodes, SoS, and loyalist Mechanicus are all fighting Daemons in the Webway. World Eaters and Legio Audax are now fighting the Imperials as well and nobody is sure how they got in there
-The Emperor is on the Throne for much of the story constantly talking to a Custodes Tribune. He confides a lot of his life and thoughts on him and throughout the book the Tribune gets glimpses into the Emperor's memories
-The war isn't going well for the Imperials and the Daemon Drach'yn (yes, the one inside Abaddon's sword) keeps possessing people and jumping from body to body. Drach'yn was formed after the first murder in human history (cain and abel)
-Most of the book is fighting Daemons or the Emperor confiding things to the Tribune. No grand revelations or secrets revealed, which ADB had said would be the case in advance.
-Much of the loyalist Mechanicum is bitter about losing mars and ultimately abandons the Emperor in the Webway believing they can navigate it back to Mars. This dooms the Imperial war effort and the Emperor decides to seal the portal permanently
-Before that he puts Drach'yn into the body of the Custodes Tribune and tells him to run into the Webway as deep as he can go. The Custodes has so much willpower that he is able to resist being taken over by Drach'yn and in effect is a prison for the Daemon now wandering inside the Webway
General observations/points of the book:
-Much of the book is a description of the path from Terra down to the Webway Gate. The Emperor built it to be a really grand and massive thing, intended for all humans to travel the Galaxy from it. It was going to be an airport on steroids and the throneroom was more of a lounge area.
-There is a brief glimpse of the Emperors childhood. As an adolescent in a neolithic-era middle eastern village he was charged with prepping bodies for burial rituals. He enjoyed the work and saw it as something of a work of art, it alludes to him creating the Primarchs. When prepping his dads corpse he realizes that his uncle killed him over some petty dispute. The Emperor is calm about it but goes up to his uncle and stops his heart with his psychic powers.
-The Emperor doesnt' seem to consider the Primarchs legitimate sons, he calls them specimens with their number creation. i.e. Fulgrim was "Three"
-There's a flashback to the Emperor and Arkan Land looking over an unconscious Angron right after he was taken. They say that the Butcher's Nails cant be taken out without killing him, but the Emperor coldly says that while Angron is broken he could still be useful and shouldn't be terminated.
-The Emps only did the Ullanor triumph and maintains his current "golden god" form only for pomp and PR reasons. He considers it all petty and has devoted his entire existence to the Webway Project and the manifest destiny of humanity to rule the galaxy. The Webway Project was everything to him.
-The Emperor's powers are hilarious and anime-ish. He teleports instantly, creating afterimages like things. At one point Drach'yn impales him only for his body to fizzle out in an afterimage with the Emperor already behind him. He also summons an army of "ghosts" of dead imperial servants to overrun the daemons. Ferrus is among them.
-Arkhan Land is the leader of Mechanicum forces inside the Webway. He stays loyal to the Emperor throughout and is absolutely baller. He flies around on an anti-grav land raider with volkite weapons.
-There's a wounded Blood Angel character who was part of the Crusader Host and fights with the Custodes. He's the only major space marine character in the book
-The Emperor considers the Custodes his finest work and each is a separate work of art in and of itself to him.
-It's semi-confirmed that the Custodes were the ones who purged the Thunder Warriors
-In a weirder bit it's alluded that the Emperor was the one who wrote Pinocchio. Again alluding to the creation of the Primarchs.
In the book the Emperor seems to consider Horus and the war more of a distraction/annoyance. He's singularly focused on the Webway and the greater threat of Chaos/Daemons.

Доброго времени суток! Намедни я услышал о фанатском проекте "Chapter Master" и сегодня даже успел сыграть в его альфа версию.

Игра дает нам шанс попробовать себя в роли МАТЬ ВАШУ МАГИСТРА ОРДЕНА. Кстати, из орденов тут есть Первого Основания и несколько из последующих. Также можно создать свой орден(!!1), а если вам не хочется вчитываться в мелкий шрифт(коего много при создании чаптера) ИИ решит за вас эту проблему. Каждому типу войск вашего ордена можно придумать собственное название и обычное для них оружие. Так же можно придумать имена для Магистра Кузни,Глав. Апотекария etc.

Теперь об игровом процессе: первое время не врубаешься что на экране и просто тыкаешь везде. Затем, когда приходит осознание происходящего, уже начинаешь вчитываться. Для просмотра доступны звездные системы, с описанием каждой из планет. Игрок сам может выбрать, что сделать с выбранной планетой - устроить рейд/сжечь и так далее. До батла игрок может выбрать какие силы он хочет вывести на поле боя. Битвы происходят в текстовом формате(кроме звездных, можно посмотреть как кораблики стреляют друг в друга !!1) и вам потребуется только переодически кликать "ENTER". 10/10

Музыка - суровая и готишная, но только один саундтрек. 6/10

Графон уютный, атмосферный, пиксельный. 8/10

Из минусов - возможность игры только за Империум, но повторюсь, это очень сырая ранняя версия

Итог: 9/10, для ранней альфа-версии очень даже ничего. В общем, если вы можете в буржуйский и любите олдскул - эта игра для вас.

Некрон-лорд теперь вместе с баржей воскрешается.

Line of Sight is now traced from one model's body to another model's- no more drawing from the eyes/head. Sort of.

“Start of the turn” is explicitly before the Movement phase occurs; “end of turn” is explicitly after the Assault phase.

Coherency, as several others have noted, is now 6″ vertically at all times (not just in ruins.)

If you generate all your powers from one discipline you get the Primaris automatically, but if you gain a power later from another discipline, you'll lose that Primaris. Chaos Marines/Daemons always know the primaris from their god's discipline.

Force is not a discipline and doesn't count for psychic focus, etc. It is, however, a Blessing and can be negated, etc, as normal.

Warp Charge counts all units on the table, including those in transports. The psychic phase ends immediately if the active player runs out of warp charge.

You can only ever manifest psychic powers on your own turn. Kinda breaks a bunch of the Blood Angels/Grey Knights powers?

Psyker units can only attempt to manifest a particular power once. Text is a little ambiguous what this means, though; if there are multiple psyker models within a unit (that can each manifest separately, as opposed to a Brotherhood) maybe they can each do their own thing? If unit = unit in the normal sense, though, that implies that powers are “shared” amongst a unit, so you could choose to have a unit of Farseer + Warlocks manifest one of the Farseer's powers through a Warlock. I'm thinking that's not how it works.

Deny the Witch is on 6s unless you have a bonus. Shutting down powers is really, really hard. Casting them is harder too, though.

Can't cast anything but Witchfires out of a transport.

Perils only happens on natural double (or more) sixes. Currently there's no way to get modifiers, but could eventually be relevant.

Perils is more dangerous than before, at least by a bit. Still causes a wound most of the time (but on 5/6 you can make a Ld test to dodge it.) 4+ on the table ONLY causes a wound, so not all that dangerous. 1/2 are potentially pretty bad, with 2 actually being the worst- no roll to avoid it, and for low-Mastery psykers it can render them useless for the remainder of the game.

Psychic Pilot explicitly gives a bonus to Deny rolls.

Psychic Hood is 12″ range now, otherwise does the same thing.

Blessings don't stack unless specifically stated.

Conjurations bring the unit in via Deep Strike, so no movement/assault. Mishapping lets you place them anywhere you want on the subsequent turn, though. The conjured unit generates powers/abilities immediately as appropriate, but can't cast conjurations of its own that turn. They're scoring. Conjured Daemons can always take an Icon/Insturment/Champion for free if you have the appropriate model available.

Powers last from one psychic phase to another, unless otherwise noted, so Blessings will never help you on your first movement phase. Interesting.

Maledictions don't have the same “never culmulative” text that Blessings do, but are otherwise worded similarly (which implies they probably don't stack.) Still can't go below 1 in anything.

You can cast as many Witchfires as you want and still shoot, and can target anything you want.

Beams don't reduce in strength anymore for multiple models? Pretty sure that was a thing previously.

Focused Witchfires get to choose their target if you roll more successes than you needed to cast the power. This is huge, as it means that the previously-unreliable targeting aspect of them is now actually quite accurate. They otherwise hit the nearest model, which is still useful.

Novas hit FMCs/flyers.

Shooting is resolved one weapon at a time now, but you can still only fire one gun unless otherwise noted. Interestingly, different fire modes are counted as different weapons for this purpose. The limitation on firing one gun is no longer specific to the shooting phase.

Snap Shots are always BS1, unless specifically stated otherwise or modified by a rule that states otherwise.

If models are equidistant from the shooter, the owner chooses which to remove.

You can't allocate wounds to models out of LOS. [черт] you, blast weapons, you have to follow the rules.

Since weapons are resolved one at a time, it's possible to put your shorter-ranged guns out of range. Pick your order carefully.

Models that Go to ground can't fire overwatch. That's a pretty big deal.

Cover is always 5+ unless specified otherwise.

Ordnance weapons can never fire Snap Shots. Nonvehicle models that shoot an Ordnance weapon can't charge or fire other guns.

FMCs can theoretically drop bombs now. Huh.

Primary weapons with Armorbane roll 3d6 and pick the two highest. Nice little fix there.

You're allowed to charge things you can't hurt, explicitly so.

Charging through terrain is -2″. This can cause you to fail a 1″ charge.

Pile in during assaults is slightly different. Functionally pretty similar, though.

Monstrous Creatures can never Go to Ground.

FMCs that Deep Strike are always considered to be Swooping.

Grounded tests are only on unsaved wounds, and are at the end of the phase. You can't charge if you went into Glide mode on your own turn, but you can if forced by a Grounding test.

Vehicles are allowed to make Snap Shots with ordnance weapons.

When Immobilized, flyers crash on a 1/2 and otherwise count it as Stunned.

Exploding vehicles no longer leave craters. Wrecked vehicles are not dangerous terrain (though they're still difficult.)

Vehicles are allowed cover saves against weapons that inflict damage results, but don't roll on the damage table- specifically including Graviton weapons.

Stationary vehicles are still treated as WS1, though Immobilized ones are not.

If a vehicle suffers a damage result that doesn't kill it, embarked units have to make a Ld test at the end of the phase or be only able to fire snap shots.

Damage from vehicle explosions on the inside is allocated randomly. [черт]ing random allocation.

If a transport is destroyed by a shooting attack, ANY unit that shot the transport is allowed to charge the disembarked squad.

Moving Flat Out while zooming gives you 12″-24″ of distance.

You can't disembark from a chariot, period. Coming back to life if you were mounted on a chariot brings back your chariot with 1HP. When a Chariot is shot at, the owner gets to choose whether the wounds hit the chariot itself or the embarked model (except for blasts/templates, which always hit the vehicle.) Skimmer chariots don't need to take Dangerous tests for charging, and chariots only take a glancing hit from dangerous tests. Chariots (or more specifically their riders) fight like infantry models and the chariot can sweep, pile in, etc, as normal. When fighting against a chariot, you have to resolve all of your attacks against either the rider or the vehicle- you can't split them. You use the WS of the rider to hit it, and grenades can only be used on the vehicle. Hits against the vehicle are always resolved on front armor in CC.

Walkers no longer get a free pivot in the shooting phase. They do have the Hammer of Wrath rule, though.

Ramming does a base damage equal to half the armor facing of the vehicle, +1 for being a tank, +2 fr being heavy/superheavy- speed no longer matters (though you must go as fast as possible.)

Dozer Blades add +1 to your effective armor value when ramming.

Wounds from a challenge spill over into the unit, and wounds from outside the challenge can spill “into” the challenge (but only after all other models have been killed.)

Area terrain as a thing is gone, but many of its functions still exist. For example, ruins provide a 4+ cover save regardless of obscurement.

Craters are 6+ cover, regardless of obscurement, and give +2 when going to ground.

A model that fires a Gun emplacement can't fire any other weapons.

Buildings have HP now. 3/4/5 for small/medium/large. Jump and jet pack infantry can get into buildings. Buildings are explicitly treated like vehicles except where noted otherwise. Units on the battlements of a building that Collapses don't have to get off; those on a Detonating building get a free 6″ move to place themselves legally.

Gun Emplacements placed on buildings count only as Emplaced Weapons and can't be destroyed by shooting at them directly.

Unbound armies are stupid. really, really stupid. They're allowed to take Formations (and gain their benefits normally) if they want.

Whatever detachment contains your Warlord is your primary detachment, but otherwise it can be any of them. In an Unbound army, all models from the same faction as your Warlord benefit from their trait.

You can take any number of detachments in an army, including Allied detachments. “Combined Arms Detachment” is the general name for the old FoC chart, which includes one fortification and one Lord of War. A CAD can reroll its warlord trait and benefits from Objective Secured; allied detachments get Objective Secured, in both cases for Troop models only. Note this applies to dedicated transports for troops.

Warlords can be non-character models, but if they are, they do not get a warlord trait.

The warlord tables are mostly the same, but slightly cleaned up. Strategic is really, really good now.

Unbound armies still need to follow the rules for differing ally relationships. Battle brothers can embark on each others' transports now. Desperate Allies don't cause planes to crash anymore, but are scoring. Come the Apocalypse are like Desperate, but can't be deployed within 12″ to start.

Fortifications are set up with the rest of the army during deployment.

Winner of the roll-off picks whether to deploy first or second, and then both players do so. Whoever deployed first then chooses whether to take the first or second turn. This… is a pretty big change.

Conceding is now actually in the rules, and results in a crushing victory for the continuing player.

Only scoring units can claim Linebreaker. If both players kill a unit at the same time, they both get First blood.

The roll-off to place objectives is done before choosing table sides or deployment types (except in Emperor's Will) and is separate from the roll-off to pick sides, etc. Objectives can be on top of, but not inside of, buildings.

Swooping/zooming units don't score. Nonscoring units can't contest objectives.

Sabotaged objectives now cause d6 hits to units in 3″, rather than the large blast marker. Grav Wave Generator now subtracts two from charge rolls, and is cumulative with terrain.

Night Fighting is ignored if neither player wants to use it. It simply gives the Stealth rule to all units.

There is no limit to the number of units you can place in reserve, though if you have no models on the table you will still lose at the end of a game turn. Units from reserve can manifest psychic powers as they please.

You can't roll the same Tactical Objective more than once during a game. Maelstrom of War missions are optional, and only they use the Tactical Objectives. You generate tactical Objectives at the beginning of your turn, depending on the mission.

Scouring and Big Guns still give VP for killing the requisite unit types, but no longer have anything else special about that type.

The Relic is now scored like any other objective and can only be passed once per turn. Vehicles can never pick up the Relic.

The Maelstrom missions are… interesting. Above and beyond the other stuff here, they're gonna get a post all their own.

ATSKNF no longer gives the free 3″ move for regrouping.

Blind can only cause one test per phase.

Barrage weapons can only fire at targets inside their minimum range by firing directly.

Destroyer weapons always cause no effect on a result of '1′. 2-5 cause d3 damage (HP or wounds) and allow cover/invulnerable save as usual. 6 is the same as before and no saves of any kind can be taken, although special rules other than FNP can still be taken as normal. Destroyer weapons count as S10 for purposes of Instant Death (sorry, harpy/DP, no more dodging that bullet.)

Graviton weapons do nothing to buildings.

Hammer of Wrath is resolved against the armor facing you hit.

ICs can never join a unit that contains a monstrous creature of vehicle. They are, however, allowed to join units that consist of a single model.

Infiltrators and Scouts can never charge on their first turn, even if you went second.

Poisoned weapons only grant a reroll on wounds if your Strength is HIGHER than the toughness of the model you are wounding.

Precision Shots are only on sixes.

Rampage doesn't work when multicharging.

Skyfire no longer allows full-BS shots at ground targets if you have the Interceptor rule.

Smash Attack is now only a single attack, not half your normal number.

Sniper weapons are no longer Rending against vehicles and merely count as S4.

Strikedown doesn't lower the initiative values of affected models anymore.

Supersonic doesn't prevent you from entering Hover mode.

You can use Grenades against Gun Emplacements.

Defensive grenades can be throw as S1 Blind Blast weapons. They don't give Stealth at close range.

Like the missions, the psychic powers deserve an article all their own. (Also, we need to find out who can actually use what tables before they mean much- remember, in 6E a lot of models from a faction didn't have access to all of that faction's psychic disciplines.)
