Background; As hard as the Imperium tries to maintain their grip upon all of the planets contained within their massive empire, there were, are and will always be rebellions. Many are brought down by the local Planetary Defense Forces; however some are large enough to break through. Most planets will send out a distress call back to Terra, but with all the bureaucracy that takes place, it is almost impossible to imagine help coming at any relevant time. However, help eventually does come, and in the sledgehammer that is the Imperial Guard, not many rebellions live. However, there are few that battle their way out, destroying the guard. At this point, there is not much the Imperium can do; they cannot afford to waste resources on a planet. It is unlikely that they will be able to gain ships and so leave on a journey of conquest, and so they are ignored. For those rebels, they have achieved their goal; complete abandonment of the Imperium. They will be forever hated, and will probably be brought down at some point, but until then, they live on their own. ... (more backstory goes here, first draft won’t have more than that though. )

Special Rules; These rules apply to the entire army unless otherwise noted. Rag-Tag: The rebels represent a group of unofficially or very rapidly trained soldiers. As such, they lack much of the professionalism that makes other armies so efficient. Every turn, check if the unit has a model with the rule “Leader” either contained within it or if it has a model within 12” of an allied model with the rule. If it does not, then it must take a leadership check at the beginning of your turn. If it fails, roll on the chart below. Roll 1-2

3-4

Effect Where do we go, again? The unit is confused about its orders of where to go. It will scatter d6 inches that turn instead of normal movement, but will stop if it comes too close to an enemy unit or reaches dangerous terrain. Gun-Cruelty The unit forgoes its weapons training. Roll a dice for every model in the unit. On a 1 or 2, they have managed to jam their gun by whatever means they came

up with. They may not fire that turn. Roll separately for special weapons, models with different stats etc. 5-6

Berserk Charge The unit will automatically move its full movement distance towards the nearest enemy unit, it will count as having fleet for that turn as well, and will run during its shooting phase, forgoing shooting, and then will charge the enemy unit. It gains furious charge for that turn.

Individuality: The rebels would often fight within cities, often in small groups or even on their own. As such, they are used to small unit sizes. All rebels, unless otherwise noted, do not take a penalty for being below 50% unit strength for their morale checks, and when checking for rallying, they may rally despite being below 50% of their unit size. Power in Numbers: Eventually, all successful rebellions become huge affairs, with massive amounts of un-coordinated, zealous rebels throwing themselves at the enemy. If two units of rebels are in combat with the same enemy unit at the same time, then they all are fearless. Cells: Every unit of rebels has been trained to work independently. Therefore, they are armed appropriately for the job. Every unit has to be able to do multiple jobs and live through multiple situations. Every troops and elites unit MUST have at least a single special or heavy weapon contained within it. Transports are not covered by this rule.
