The Space Warriors



Troops



Every army is comprised of a backbone.  Whether they are cannon fodder troops or honorable warriors of steel and soul, it is a fact of life for any strategist.  Space Warriors are lucky to be composed of the latter unlike their brother Guardsmen of the Royal Guard.  Every Space Warrior starts out as a recruit; either born into the Space Warriors on the many Fortress Worlds of the Space Warrior Chapters, or recruited on Recruiting Worlds throughout the sectors that most chapters are assigned.

Space Warrior Scouts
"Keep it quiet back there.  You aren't going to be a Space Warrior if you die with your mouths open!"
-Neriaus, Dark Shields Chapter

Scouts are often at the forefront of battle.  Infiltrating enemy lines, each scout is given the select duty of rushing far ahead of his fellow Warriors and scoping the enemy's position before eliminating key targets and capturing specific points of strategic importance before the enemy can take them out.  Scouts rely upon long range fire, and are relatively weak in close combat.
Unit Type: Light Infantry
Squad limit: 2 minimum, 5 maximum
Wargear options: Army Knife, Sniper Rifle, Sildarian Sniper Rifle
Special Abilities: Keen Eyesight, Infiltration, Break Off and Regroup!
Initial points: 40
Additional Points: 10

Space Warrior Attack Squadron
"We live for the Maker.  He is, was, and always will be!"
The bulk of Space Warrior Forces lies within the Attack Squadrons.  Led by a Sergeant and with key units upgraded with Heavy Repeaters, Flamethrowers, and other wargear options, the Attack Squadrons can fit multiple infantry roles and provide key points for attack and defense on the battlefield.  
Unit Type: Infantry
Squad limit: 4 minimum, 10 maximum (Sergeant included)
Wargear options: Assault Rifle, Soulsword, Hellfire Pistol (Dual wield with melee weapon or with second pistol), Plasma Pistol (Dual wield with Melee Weapon, Sergeant exclusive), Vulcan Hammer (Sergeant exclusive), (all heavy weapons limit 3), Sniper Rifle, Heavy Repeater, Missile Launcher, Flamethrower, Mortar Cannon
Special Abilities: Rally to Me! (Sergeant ability), Fragmentation grenades
Initial Points: 50
Additional Points: 25

Space Warrior Rogues
"First blood is mine!"
The Rogues are the names given to Space Warrior privates who have deemed themselves above and beyond the call of duty at an early age.  Known to wander the battlefield in relatively disorganized bands, they attack with all the bravery and accuracy of a commander, though their attacks are relatively weaker to begin and they are more likely to break up due to lack of morale because of their disorganized behavior.  For those who enjoy quick strikes that break targets in fast assaults, they are a relatively cheap means of replacement for Attack Squadrons.
Unit Type: Infantry Special
Squad limit: 5 minimum, 11 maximum
Wargear options: Assault Rifle, Soulsword, Hellfire pistol (Dual wield with melee weapon or with second pistol), (all heavy weapons limit 3) Heavy Repeater, Flamethrower
Special abilities: Disorganized charge, Fragmentation grenades
Initial Points: 40
Additional Points: 20
The average troops of the Space Warriors, though by all means not the limit. Thus far, in my codex I've written, these are the only three types I've officially come up with.

Take it in mind that We are Warriors was invented first and foremost so that it could become an RTS game. When me and my brothers were kids, that was practically the only game we've ever played. We were born and raised RTS. It's probably going to be the first computer game I ever give my kids when I reach that point in my life...

The point being is that these guys are designed on a similar note. In the future, I plan on adding more, but for now this is what I've got. I hope you enjoy!
