1 CYDONIAN ALIENS Page: 1

2 Cydonians tend to follow a six step plan for invading and attacking planets and solar systems. While some steps are done out of order, or others ignored for specific reasons, the general theme is the same regardless of commanders or leaders. Their ultimate goal is to collect the perfect genetic material to advance their own races to a higher state of being. Sometimes refereed to as the Uplifting. Scout: Small ships, and some landing parties will be sent to investigate a planet to see if it has suitable lifeforms to abduct, or strategic points to hold to bring them closer to other planets. Many times markings will be left in the ground to designate important positions for future troops. Base: Supply ships will flock over an area for a time and build up a forward base, this will allow the creation of shorter range vessels, and cloning of troops on the surface of the planet. These bases tend to be well hidden, and many times built deep underground. Abductions: Right away lifeforms are taken and studied for their genetic makeup. Rural areas are hit first, so that there is less of a chance of being detected. Many subjects will be injected with genetic modifications, trackers, or other devices, then their minds are wiped and are returned to their original location to be studied in their natural environment. As progress continues, mass populous is abducted, this usually happens after a large force has been established, or they have already been located by the planets defense forces. Page: 2

3 Terrorize: Usually after the aliens have been discovered they start to send strike teams to attack and terrorize main urban areas. This is intended to cause mass panic and disorientate the planets forces, as well as act as a distraction from the abductions. Infiltrate: If the planet is putting up a fight, they will send special agents to fill government roles, causing the system to collapse. Or just bribe the governments outright promising only to take limited lifeforms and provide advanced technology. In all cases they do not keep their side of the bargains. Neutralize: When resistance is met they will send larger assault forces to completely wipe it out, after enough lifeforms have been collected and sampled all life forms on the planet are then exterminated, and they move on to the next planet.

4 SECTOID COMMANDER Although they look similar to their weaker brethren, Sectoid Commanders have larger heads covered in thick veins, and glowing red eyes. Like Sectoids, they are all genetically identical clones, but have been engineered with greater endurance and incredible psionic powers. While these gifts make them far more deadly than the lower caste troops they command, they are still ultimately little more than subservient pawns of the Ethereals. Many Sectoids, like other commanders, have been enhanced with cybernetics and genetic modifications beyond that of a normal soldier. Paired with their enhanced psionic powers this make them a terror to face. Sectoids are found to employ Cyberdiscs along with their normal troops to overwhelm enemies, expect to see these flying death machines in greater number when you see a Sectoid Commander. Sectoid Commander /5++ Unit Type: Infantry (Character) Wargear: Energy Pistol, Energy Grenades. Special Rules: Psyker (ML1), Cyberdisc Builders, Independent Character, Cybernetic Enhancements. Psyker: Generates its powers from the Cydonia powers. Cyberdisc Builders: May include one unit of Cyberdiscs as a Troops choice. Page: 4

5 SNAKEMAN COMMANDER Snakemen Commanders are larger, fiercer versions of the normal Snakeman soldier. Unlike Sectoids and Ethereals they do not posses psionic abilities, however they make up for that with their tough scales and resilience to hostile environments. The Snakemen Commanders have been modified with cybernetics and other internal work to make them more resilient on the battlefield. It seems that Chryssalids same much of the same genetic makeup as Snakeman, it could be they were formed from the same original DNA, or more likely were captured and genetically modified from the same planet. Whatever the origin they share a short of kinship with them. You will see Snakemen commanders employ them along with their battlefield troops. Snakeman Commander /5++ Unit Type: Infantry (Character) Wargear: Energy Rifle, Energy Grenades, Independent Character, Relentless. Special Rules: Infiltrate, Chryasslid Breeders, Relentless, Cybernetic Enhancements. Chryasslid Breeders: May include one unit of Chryasslids units as a Troops choice. Page: 5

6 ETHEREAL COMMANDER The Ethereal Commanders are physically frail like their brethren, however their brains are even more developed which allows them to enhance their bodies to survive harsh environments. Simple tasks like walking are arbitrary to an Ethereal commander. They rein supreme and demand full obedience among their servants and soldiers. They enslave any race they deem fit, genetically modifying them to fit any role, or just eradicate them altogether. They seem to be able to directly control Sectopod constructs through a telepathic link, because of this and their heavy armor they employ them as basic infantry. Ethereal Commander /3++ Unit Type: Jetpack Infantry (Character) Wargear: Energy Pistol, Energy Grenades. Special Rules: Psyker (ML3), Sectopod Builders, Psy Creature, Independent C. Psyker: Generates its powers from the Cydonia powers. Sectopod Builders: May include one unit of Sectopods units as a Troops choice. Psy Creature: If this unit or the squad he has joined is the target of a psychic attack, he may attempt to deny the power with dice equal to the number of dice used to try and cast the power without using warp charges. He may add more dice to this pool with any warp charges he does currently have as well. Page: 6

7 MUTON COMMANDER Muton Commanders resemble standard Mutons in appearances and physiology but the similarities end there. Physically stronger, the Muton Commanders are also equipped with a heavier and more regal armor and weapons; Commanders also tend to show greater intelligence and coordination than their ordinary counterparts. Muton Commanders are smart and capable fighters that are not likely to be taken down easily. Mutons have a distaste for Sectoids and as such deploy Celatids and Silacoids as basic troops more. If it wasn t for the Ethereals being in complete control of the two races they would be in constant war with each other. Muton Commander /5++ Unit Type: Infantry (Character) Wargear: Energy Rifle, Energy Grenades, Eternal Warrior Special Rules: Infiltrate, Celatid and Silocoid Breeders, Independent Character Celatid and Silocoid Breeders: May include one unit of Celatid and Silocoid as a Troops choice each. Page: 7

8 FLOATER COMMANDER Floater Commanders are a superior version of the Floater, boasting upgraded weapons and more cybernetic implants. They are almost pure machine. However they have a tactical awareness that would surpass even some of the highest imperial commanders even though they would seem like mindless killing machines. Floater Commanders lust to engage the enemy and tear them apart, as such they will employ Reapers along with them to help cause terror and mass panic. Floaters main purpose, if they have a purpose among the Ethereals, is to cause panic and terror. This allows the Ethereals and other Commanders to fulfil more important missions without the need to engage the full army. Floater Commander /5++ Unit Type: Jumppack Infantry (Character) Wargear: Dual Energy Pistols, Energy Grenades. Special Rules: Fleet, Reaper Breeders, Independent Character. Reaper Breeders: May include one unit of Reapers units as a Troops choice. Page: 8

9 MUTONS Standing over 2 meters, this humanoid creature is physically powerful and aggressive. Studies showed that their memory is imprinted with high amount of knowledge in combat tactics and weaponry. The skin of this creature appears to be an organically created protective armor which is grafted onto the body. There are numerous cybernetics modifications to enhance the cardio-vascular system and the senses. The reproductive organs have been surgically removed. It is clearly evident that the Muton is genetically designed and modified for combat. These creatures are limited to a life of warfare and conquest. As such, one must take great care not to underestimate the capabilities of the Mutons. Muton Soldier Muton Engineer Muton Medic Muton Navigator Muton Leader Unit Type: Muton Soldiers, Engineer, Medics, and Navigators are Infantry, while Muton Leaders are Infantry (Character) Wargear: Muton Soldiers, Engineer, Medics, and Navigators and Leaders have Plasma Rifles. Special Rules: Muton Medics give the unit Feel No Pain, Muton Navigator lets the unit re-roll the units reserves rolls, Muton Leader has Eternal Warrior. Page: 9

10 SNAKEMEN This race developed in an extremely hostile environment. Their mobility depends on a snake-like giant foot which protects all the vital organs. They seem to be purely predatory and under the command of the Ethereals. The cardio-vascular system is part of the muscular system which uses the hydraulic principle to create motion. The only true muscle is the heart. They have a very efficient reproductive system. Reproduction is asexual, with each snakeman carrying up to fifty eggs inside its body at any one time. Left to its own devices these creatures could easily overwhelm a planet. Snakeman Soldier Snakeman Engineer Snakeman Medic Snakeman Navigator Snakeman Leader Unit Type: Snakeman Soldiers, Engineer, Medics, and Navigators are Infantry, while Snakeman Leaders are Infantry (Character) Wargear: Snakeman Soldiers, Engineer, Medics, and Navigators and Leaders have Plasma Rifle. Special Rules: Snakeman Soldiers, Engineer, Medics, and Navigators and Leaders have Infiltrate and Relentless. While Medics give the unit Feel No Pain, and Navigators lets the unit re-roll reserves rolls. Page: 10

11 ETHEREALS The Ethereal seem physically incapable of sustaining any life functions. Their bodies have atrophied up to the point where the only thing keeping them alive is their mental ability. Some of their organs are underdeveloped with some sensory organs not working at all. Their brain, however, is very well developed and requires the largest blood supply in their body. Identifying themselves as the leaders of the alien collective, it is suggested that the Ethereals forced the numerous other races to evolve and then assimilated them into a mental collective, turning them into servants of the Ethereals. Ethereal Soldier /3++ Ethereal Leader /3++ Unit Type: Ethereal Soldiers are Infantry, while Ethereal Leaders are Infantry (Character) Wargear: Ethereal Soldiers and Leaders have Plasma Pistols. Special Rules: Brotherhood of Psykers, Psy Unit. Psy Unit: If there are only Ethereal Soldiers within the squad the squad has a Mastery Level of 1, if there is an Ethereal Leader within the Squad they have a Mastery Level of 2. Page: 11

12 SECTOIDS Sectoids are weak and die quickly against experienced soldiers, but are still dangerous. They are usually found in large groups, alongside other enemies like Mutons or Floaters. They are intelligent enough to use cover and flanking tactics. As battles progresses, they are largely phased out in favor of more dangerous foes. According to autopsy reports, their unusual structure suggests that Sectoids are genetically manipulated and their identical genetic info implies that they are cloned. They also posses the ability to use psionic powers with enough traininng, increasing their health and combat effectiveness. However, one of the large downsides to this ability is that Sectoids have a very short lifespan. Sectoids are mainly used for pilots for their aircraft, most are plugged into the craft via extensive cables and hookups. The Sectoid is basically the craft after this process is complete. Sectoid Soldier Sectoid Engineer Sectoid Medic Sectoid Navigator Sectoid Leader Unit Type: Sectoid Soldiers, Engineer, Medics, and Navigators are Infantry, while Sectoid Leaders are Infantry (Character) Wargear: Sectoid Soldiers, Engineer, Medics, and Navigators and Leaders have Plasma Pistols. Special Rules: Sectoid Medics give the unit Feel No Pain, Sectoid Navigator lets the unit re-roll reserves rolls. Page: 12

13 FLOATERS Floaters are monstrous cyborgs powered by pairs of twin back-mounted jets, which give them the ability to fly into the sky and land behind your soldiers lines. A Floater autopsy hints that they may be the invaders incomplete cybernetic and genetic experiments. They have received extensive mechanical implants, including ones that replace the internal organs. Due to its modifications, there is no distinguishing line between mechanical and biological to describe the Floater. Floaters are mainly used as terror units, to cause wide spread panic. This allows the rest of the alien forces to complete their mission with ease. There have been times that the alien commanders have left, finishing their purpose, leaving behind the ffoaters to fend for themselves. Floater Soldier Floater Engineer Floater Medic Floater Navigator Floater Leader Unit Type: Floater Soldiers, Engineer, Medics, and Navigators are Jumppacks Infantry, while Floater Leaders are Jumppack Infantry (Character) Wargear: Floater Soldiers, Engineer, Medics, and Navigators and Leaders have Dual Plasma Pistols. Special Rules: Floater Soldiers, Engineer, Medics, and Navigators and Leaders have Fleet. While Medics give the unit Feel No Pain, and Navigators lets the unit re-roll reserves rolls. Page: 13

14 CHRYSSALIDS The Chryssalid is a swift alien with terrifying melee capabilities. When a Chryssalid kills, it will implant an embryo in its victim. This causes the corpse to rise up as a Zombie, which will spawn a Chryssalid Hatchling after a short amount of time. This newborn Chryssalid is statistically and behaviorally identical to a regular Chryssalid, but has a visually lighter color of chitin armor which changes to the usual color within a couple hours. Chryssalids carry at least twenty eggs with them at any given time. And has a rapid cell growth. Making them a very effective terror weapon. According to the Ethereal Leaders, Chryssalids were uplifted by the Ethereals in an effort to perfect genetic manipulation and that they were mere insects when their uplift began. Chryssalid Zombie Unit Type: Chryasslid and Zombies are Infantry Wargear: Chryasslid have Powerful Claws. Special Rules: Chryasslid have Fleet, Move Through Cover, Stealth, Chryssalid Venom, Outflank. Zombies have Egg Carrier. Chryasslid Venom: Every model that suffers enough wounds to remove him from the game against a unit with the special rule must take a toughness test. If they fail remove the model and place a Zombie model within coherency of the Chryasslid unit. (No saves of any kind). Only works on Non Extremely Bulky Infantry Units. Egg Carrier: Whenever a model with this special rule is destroyed or removed from play, replace it with a Chryssalid Model. Instant Death cancels this out. Page: 14

15 CELATIDS This creature has the natural ability to float through the ari, It appears to detect brain waves to detect other creatures. It will fire globules of extremely corrosive venom as its targets. The core of this creature contains a small bio-mechanical device which appears to be a naturally evolved anti-gravity propulsion system. The sac of venom is the largest organ and it doesn t have any sort of brain structure, digestive system, or reproductive organs. It has the ability to clone its self by dropping embryos which will rapidly grow into a new being. Celatid Unit Type: Jump pack Infantry Wargear: Celatid Launchers. Special Rules: Fleet. Page: 15

16 SILACOIDS Silacoids are silicon based life forms that generate an enormous amount of heat. It has the strength to crush rocks which it can then ingest into its hot core. It has primitive intelligence and is controlled by implants or telepathic creatures. Its core is a massive digestive system that is extremely hot. Its unique muscle system has tremendous power and speed. Its rock like skin is not harmed except by heavy weapons. Silacoid Unit Type: Infantry, Very Bulky Special Rules: Volcanic Stomach, Move Through Cover, Fearless. Volcanic Stomach: A model with this special rule counts its close combat attacks as S8 Ap1 Armorbane. Also any cover that a this units moves into is reduced by 1. May not be reduced more than once by this special rule. Page: 16

17 REAPERS Reapers are large bipedal carnivores with powerful jaws and a voracious appetite. It has a number of brain implants which are used to control its activity. The primitive predatory instincts of reapers are of little use except to terrorize and destroy. The reaper contains two brains and two hearts which allow it to function even when heavily wounded. However its furry skin is highly flammable, making the creature vulnerable to incendiary weapons. Reaper Unit Type: Beast, Extremely Bulky Wargear: Claws and Teeth Special Rules: Fleet, Move Through Cover, Rending, Flammable, Fearless Flammable: Weapons that use the Template deal 2 wounds instead of 1 on a creature with this special rule.

Fearless units are immune to this power. Page: 24

25 CYDONIAN ALIEN WARLORD TRAITS 1.Alien Terror: When the aliens terrorize a city they will deploy some special forces with awesome powers. Civilians will be directly threatened, and governments will be forced to evacuate whole areas. The main purpose behind this activity is to generate sufficient public hysteria. All enemies units are at -1 Leadership. 4.Alien Abductions: This is the most insidious form of alien activity. The abduction by aliens is widely reported, despite the aliens attempts to erase the experience from their victims memories. Abductees report being subject to humiliating physical examinations, including impregnation of alien fetuses and bizarre genetic experiments. The purpose behind this activity appears to be linked to genetic mutation and manipulation of the aliens own genetic material. This activity causes great alarm, and occurs in populated areas or cities. Your opponent must re-roll successful reserves rolls. 3.Alien Harvest: The Aliens have many uses for planet s fauna. Animals are abducted secretly, and returned with various organs removed. Cattle mutilations are predominantly reported along with UFO sightings. This type of alien activity causes great concern by governments and considerable anxiety amongst the populations. This type of activity occurs mainly in farming land. The theory behind the alien harvest suggests that aliens races originally seeded the planet with its flora and fauna, and now they have returned to reap the harvest they have sown. Your Warlord gains whatever warlord trait the opponent s Warlord has. 4.Alien Infiltration Governments can be infiltrated by alien agents which are human in appearance. This can result in official contact between aliens and governments at the highest level. The climax of this activity is characterized by intense UFO activity in the vicinity of major cities. The aliens will attempt to take over the government by offering knowledge of their superior technology. This alien tactic represents the worst threat. If a government gives in to the aliens, the whole planet could fall. The warlord and one other unit gain Infiltrate, and Outflank. 5.Alien Supply Once an alien base is constructed then its is resupplied on a regular basis by special supply vessels. If these vessels are detected while landing then it is certain that an alien base is nearby, and impending boom is soon to follow. All your supply ships gain the Objective Secure rule. 6.Alien Retaliation If the planets defenses are being particularly successful in shooting down UFOs then the aliens may take some retaliatory actions. This could result in a direct attack against key objectives with specialized units that can take down those defenses. Which would free up the airspace for the aliens to overwhelm the planet. All your non-vehicle units gain +1 when snap firing. Page: 25
