Sauron1 writes; In the beginning of time there was Adeptus Mechanicus,and
haven written the hand moved on and behold! there was Codex Titanicus.

 Codex Crew Skills that can be Applied to any crew for one of games.
 Sixth Sense; Crew can make one extra 45% turn
 Pinpoint Gunnery;Add +1 modifier to to critical hits,not in close combat
 Tactical Genius; Titan is given 2 order counters and can choose wich one
                  to follow
 Duckback; Titan Princeps can dodge in coming fire,roll 1d6
                   1-3 normal effect,4-5 shot dodged if titan in cover,
                   6 shot dodged
 Very fast; Titan Princeps gains 4cm in both advance and charge
                   rates
 Hipshooting; Titan Moderati are excellent shots,discount the -1
                   modifier for fireing on the move.

The Eldar get one skill for every 10 experience points or roll
for them like the Titan crews.The roll chart will be in my next post if
anyone is interested. sauron1
