Here is my first attempt at creating a new detachment for E40K, any
commen=
ts most welcome :)


ORDO MALLEUS DETACHMENT
                                                                                        
Command =
        
                                                                                
You must choose a commander.
                                                                                
1 Detachment HQ =
(See notes) +25 points
                                                                                
Up to one Ordo Malleus Inquisit=
or 27 points
Consists of 1 Space Marine unit (Hero, Ordo Malleus) =
                                                                                
Extra cost to:
        Mount in Rhino* +7 points
=
        Mount in Land Raider* +35 points
        (*Choose one upgrade only) =
                                        
                                                                                
Main Force
                                                                                
Choose up to 10 squads from the foll=
owing list.
                                                                                
Grey Knight Terminator squad 21 points=
                                                        
Consists of 1 Space Marine unit (Save, Ordo Malleus)
Ext=
ra cost to:
        Mount in Land Raider +35 points
                                                                        =
        
Grey Knight Space Marine squad 34 points
Consists of 2 Space Mar=
ine units (Ordo Malleus)
Extra cost to:
        Mount in Rhi=
no +7 points
                                                                                
Notes: If an Ordo Malleus detachment consi=
sts entirely of infantry
        
units it may be deployed using drop pod=
s. See the Scenario
Special Rules section in the Epic 40,000 Bat=
tles Book for details

of using drop pods, regardless of the scen=
ario being played.
                                                                                        
Any unit that is part of the deta=
chment can be designated as the
detachment HQ, subject to the de=
tachment's chain of command.
If the original HQ is eliminated th=
e next unit below on the chain

of command become the new HQ. =
                                                        
                                                                                        
Chain of command:
Inquisitor > Terminators > Any other=
 unit

Special Ability:
Ordo Malleus When in close combat with Daemo=
ns, all Ordo
                Malleus units double their Assault value.


Interesting, it =
appears you payed 2 points for this ability. I don't think it is to powerfu=
ll. It is extremely powerfull, but only has limited application. How would =
this work with the hero skill though? Always double? against deamons would =
he be quadrouple? Gw has a historyi of saying doubling twice is tripling, w=
hich is still pretty sick in my opinion. Looks good though. It would make c=
haose be careful with the deamons.
