So it's urban... I guess we roll a d10 for what it eats...
>>
>>45816603
Urban - "Somehow the creature is able to sustain itself and thrive in and around cities where more intelligent species dwell."

What is the creature's food habits? (d10)

>>45816644
>>
>>45816651
Scavenger - "Feasts only on dead animals or things that inexplicably end up in it's mouth by accident. Doesn't mean it won't strike back."

A fitting trait since it lives in urban areas¨

How does the creature reproduce? (d10)
>>
Rolled 4 (1d10)

Rolled 3 (1d10)

What major faction has had to deal most with the species? (d100)

Note that this doesn't mean they are an alien exlusive to just that faction, im thinking later on when we need to fluff it out

Rolled 8 (1d12)

>>45816888
Are these guys semi-intelligent?
>>
>>45816900
Scales - "Usually cold blooded with scales. Often reptilian in nature."

It depends in how we fluff them out, but since they are used mainly as livestock in urban areas I find them being highly intelligent a very far fetched idea.

ok, time for attributes, roll 10 d3's please
>>
Rolled 3, 1, 1, 3, 3, 3, 1, 3, 3, 2 = 23 (10d3)

Heavily Armoured* 4+ armour save

Entangle

This is a special shooting attack with a range of 12" that hits a specified model on a 4+ regardless of ballistic skill. A model struck must pass a Strength test or be unable to move, run or shoot in its next turn. If engaged in close combat, the WS and S values of the entangled model are halved for the remainder of that turn.

Regeneration

The creature gains It Will Not Die, in addition if the creature is slain then roll a D6, on a 5+ it will stand back up next turn with one wound remaining, if the test is failed then remove the model as normal.

1 more roll, make it count
>>
Rolled 24 (1d35)

>>45817710
Please, dice gods, guide my roll for that prime 35
>>
>>45817732
Maybe you are in luck Anon becuase 24 is flora only, so re roll please (If it get's to another re-roll then I pick 35. Just for you Anon
>>
Rolled 29 (1d35)

>>45817740
I don't know if you can get more over powered than these guys are already
>>
>>45817752
Since this is not a flora only re-roll I will have you make yet another re-roll. So next flora only re-roll get's an automatic 35
>>
Rolled 7 (1d35)

>>45817777
Couldn't you have just round up to 30
>>
>>45817788
I do what I want!

Defensive Maneuver

If the creature does not move or charge during its turn, it may gain a +2 to its armour save. Though it may not make attacks in the assault phase if it chooses to do so.

OK, you guys can begin to fluff it out while I summurize and write down it's stats and rules
>>
Do we know how small small is?

What about all the other shit
>>
>Allogamy/Autogamy - Normal reproduction >between two species with an egg and sperm.
>normal reproduction
>between two species
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>
>>45817965
Had to do some stuff so I just posted the stats for it atm, going to summarize the fluffy rolls now.
>>
>Lives/survives in urban enviorments

>It's mainly a scavenger

>It has a Allogamy/Autogamy way of reproducing

>Hearing is it's main/strongest sense

>Eldar deal with this creature from time to time

>But the xeno itself is either farmed, grown or enginnerd for various uses

>This creature once took down a Tempestus Kill Team while they were on a an important mission.

>It is also very small (Im thinking chicken sized)

>It's form of locomotion is bidedal and it has scales as it's skin.
>>
>>45818166
How about dog-sized instead of chicken? That way its still sort of threatening

I'm still partial to semi-intelligence
>>
Shall we roll a d10 to see how many you can field in one group if you decide to have them on the tabletop?
>>
Rolled 2 (1d10)

>>45818270
I guess
>>
>>45818291
So groups of 2 (unless we should include a few more)

I guess these would be fun for a deathwatch/Killteam game
>>
Should we say that these xenos are farmed and bred on a human hive world? I think that is the most fitting way to fluff them out, atleast for a start
>>
>>45818323
Alright, so, do they live in ruins of urban areas, or still active ones, because I can't see how these fuckers would be wiped out imediately

>>45818366
that's what I was thinking too. The Underhive is isolated juust enough
>>
I can start to fluff the hive out a bit, so we can get more backgrond for this xeno (we also need give it a name)
>>
>>45818412
Well, it would likely be influenced by the culture surrounding it. We could give it a scientific name to start with though
>>
Hive Pentrax:

Hive Pentrax is biggest hive on Centrus-III. Centrus-III is a planet where all availbe landmass has been covered in human structures of somekind. It can be everything from mega highways, hive spires to small shanty towns.

One wouldn't think any living creature besides humans could survive on this planet, but one such creatures has adapted itself to the urbanisation of the planet.

Not much is known about it's origins, but they are a popular livestock creature down in the underhives. But the largest consentrations of them is lcoated in the vast underhive of Hive Pentrax.

Many varous gangs, groups and guildes uses these xenos in various ways. The main use is food, but they are also popular gladiatorial animals. And if they are tamed and trained they could become a good tracker down in the underhives. This has lead so that many local Arbites uses them to find thier targets.

What do you guys think? Is it good?
>>
>>45818554
These xenos aer fucked, man. They should have a mythic presence outside of the underhive. They're the boogyman of this planet
>>
I can imagine needing carapace armour just to feed these xenos.
>>
>>45818641
Considering they have like two different ranged attacks, probably a really long stick too
>>
Would feeding handling these xenos be considered an honour/proof of prestige or should it be a punishment
>>
>>45818714
Probably both, depending on where you are. The more tribal ganger might see it as a rite of passage, where the more civilized Hivespeople will see it as a form of punishment. If you leave, you're free to go, all charges dropped. If you die, justice is served
>>
Ordo Xenos and Magos Biologis name designation: Anceps
Iumenta
>>
>>45818846
I like it!

So, they're scaly, near invinciable, and highly deadly. What would be a good common name?
>>
>>45818964
Scerrors (combining Scary and terror)
>>
>>45819072
Probably used in gang warfare, considering they're the only animal on this planet

Fuck, imagine feral ones
>>
What do they look like? I mean we know they are small, bipedal and scaly but what else can we describe them as?
>>
>>45819228
Hearing is its primary sense, so large ears? Or maybe just very sensitive ones. Could be blind. They're scavengers, so they're probably covered in a lot human junk
