I'd change the name Blades of Titan to something like Titan Stone Blades. - Ben
Warlord Traits:
1. Debt Collector:
The Warlord and his men have a particular grudge against the enemy Warlord and his army, thus they'll make sure the debt is collected.
The Warlord and any unit he leads/is attached to gain the Preferred Enemy USR against every enemy model and a +1 to To Hit and To Wound with any weapon (One Use wargear included).
2. Ancestral Might:
The Warlord's wargear belonged to a brother that was known for slaying many mighty enemies and now the machine spirits empower him to greater feats of heroism.
The Warlord gains a +1 to WS,S,I and LD. Additionally all his cc attacks cause Instant Death on a 6.
3. Ancestral Farsight:
The Warlord's wargear belonged to a brother known for his sharp sight and mastery of ranged weaponry.
The Warlord gains a +1 to BS,I and LD. Additionally he can fire an additional shot with his ranged weapon (in case of Rapid Firing weapons they become 2/3 Salvo weapons) and all shots count as Precision Shots on a 6.
4. Ancestral Resolve:
The Warlord's wargear belonged to a brother that was known to be a stalwart defender who didn't let any enemy pass by.
The Warlord gains a +1 to any save (either Armour Save or Invulnerable Save, up to a 2+ and 3++ respectfully) and the Eternal Warrior USR.
5. Skilled Commander:
The Warlord is quite protective of the men under his command and uses his skills and experience to guide them to fight in a manner they can get out of a scary situation.
As long as the warlord is alive. All models in both primary and allied detachments can re-roll their armour saves once per turn. Additionally the player can choose a single unit in the primary detachment to gain the Move Through Cover USR. That unit also treats Difficult Terrain as normal and treats Dangerous one as Difficult.
6. Master Scavenger:
The Warlord, in order to achieve victory, will even go so far as to scavenge the weapons and wargear of their own men.
Any unit that is 12" around the Warlord can take the weapons of any fallen allied model to use them. If the weapon is the same as that of the model, then it instead gains a permanent +1 to its shots for the duration of the battle. This stacks up to three times. Melee weapons are also affected and the models gain +1 to their A if the weapons are the same.
WT's by Ben.
- Thats really strong. Most warlord traits are 1 special rule, or more often semi useful benefits.

Would like to add some more details, mostly pertaining to Battle Brothers[edit]
some sort of alt codex? didn't really get the point

Allies
As the Conservator don’t get around much the amount of allies they can call upon is rather limited.
Battle Brothers
• Grey Knights: Want Divination and tough-as-balls marines? Also fluffy.
• Sisters of Battle: Order of the Argent Dawn. Acts of faith are always fun. Not to mention the much needed anti-tank the Sisters provide.
• Knights: The Fluff Supports it, and they need all the help they can get.
Allies of Convenience
• Eldar: Good for providing anti-tank options and very fast threats like Jetbikes as the Conservators are not a “speedy” army
--So... a cheap knight that can shoot a lot, but not in any really meaningful way. Definitely interesting, but honestly, since this is a knight heavy bolters would be more what it needs to contribute.
--Any reason the melta lance isn't strength D? D tends to do more damage, and is always going to at least pen.
The Stubbers on the Knight were there for fluffy reasons more than any, and I wasn't too sure about the Strength for the Melta-Lance as Apocalypse isn't my forte. This was more of a mental placeholder as i'm doing up a different version of the codex that feels more like Knight Marines than Camelot Marines, not that I dislike the OP's ideas. Thanks for the advice.
I'm not sure if I should post it here, as it is a whole pages worth, yet I'm not internet-savvy enough to know how to make a new page for it, let alone link it to the original Conservators page.
Conservators v.2[edit]
Note: This is a personalized version of the Conservators codex (more Knight Marines feel) and as such shares similarities with the original article. I apologize if the OP feels angry that took some of his ideas, you cant change quality material. Comments or changes appreciated.

Conservators Special Rules
The Conservators are an unorthodox but highly effective Chapter of the Adeptus Astartes. Many units in the conservator’s forces share similar strengths represented in the following rules:
• And They Shall Know No Fear
• Combat Fire-Teams
• Hearth and Home - Above all, the conservators are a defensive chapter. Units with at least one model with this special rule gain Counter-attack in their own deployment zone.
• Remembrance - Most gear a Conservator carries is effectively a relic. All equipment is kept in the best of quality. Once per game, each unit that contains a model with this special rule can reroll failed to hit rolls with all weapons for one phase.
Chapter Tactics: Bane and Bow: Stubborn and re-roll ones to hit with shots from all "Bow" Type weapons
Warlord Traits
A Conservators warlord can roll his warlord trait from any of the charts from the core rulebook or from the specific Conservators traits chart below.
1. Debt Collector
The Warlord and his men have a particular grudge against the enemy Warlord and his army, thus they'll make sure the debt is collected. The Warlord and any unit he leads/is attached to gain the Preferred Enemy USR against the enemy warlord, and any unit he is a part of.
2. Ancestral Might
The Warlord's Wargear belonged to a brother that was known for slaying many mighty enemies and now the machine spirits empower him to greater feats of heroism. The Warlord gains a +1 to Weapon skill and all his melee attacks gain the Life Drain Special rule (any To Wound roll of a 6 made by this weapon has the Instant Death special rule).
3. Ancestral Farsight
The Warlord's Wargear belonged to a brother known for his sharp sight and mastery of ranged weaponry. The Warlord's ranged attacks are precision shots on a 4+ to hit.
4. Ancestral Resolve
The Warlord's Wargear belonged to a brother that was known to be a stalwart defender who didn't let any enemy pass by. The Warlord gains the Eternal Warrior USR.
5. Skilled Commander
The Warlord is a loud and commanding presence on the battle field. Friendly units within 12" of the Warlord can use his Leadership rather than their own.
6. Master Scavenger The Warlord has done better then most scavenging equipment. The warlord my treat any one weapon he is carrying as master crafted.
Conservator Equipment
The Conservators forces mainly employ the standard weapons of the Adeptus Astartes, but they also have been forced to jerry rig and flat out invent some new weapons.
Weapon Range S AP Type
Scout Bow 18" 4 6 Assault 2, Bow
Brother Bow 18" 4 5 Assault 2, Bow
Arbalesti Bolts:
Solid Tip 30" 6 4 Heavy 3, Bow
Hollow Tip 30" 5 6 Heavy 1, Small Blast, Bow
Flechette 18" 3 - Heavy 1, Small Blast, Bow, Fleshbane
March-Pattern Missile Launcher 18" 7 2 Assault 1
Scout Spatha - 4 6 Melee
Unless you have a good reason(don't mix addition and multiplication) the S of melee weapons should be User, user+x, or userx2. There are things that mess with strength, and the melee weapons are supposed to relate. Also... not that giving any AP value means the weapon cuts better then a chainsword... AP- is standard for non powered/chain weapons.
Titan Stone Sword - 4 4 Melee, Shred
Shreding power mauls... ok then... You need to jack up the price of anything carrying these. Like... power mauls are good enough on their own.
Titan Stone Power Sword - 5 3 Melee, Shred
Combat Shield - User - Counts as a CCW with the extra attack using the following stats, Confers a 5+ inv. save IF the unit is in combat and a 6+ inv. outside of combat.
Bolt Pistol 12" 4 5 Pistol
Bolter 24’’ 4 5 Rapid Fire
Militia sword - 3 - Melee
Lasgun 24" 3 - Rapid Fire
Militia Bow 12" 3 6 Assault 1, Bow
Avalon 9 1 Melee, Two-Handed, Armorbane
“Bolt” Repeater 12” 4 6 Assault 4, Twin-linked
Reinforced Zweihander - 5 2 Melee, Smash, Two-Handed
So again... this should be S User+1, and smash is not something that comes on weapons. And really should not be a thing on anything ever without some really impressive point costs. At initative AP2 is really, really hard to get. It costs a ton of points and generally is only on HQ units.
Meltagun 24” 8 2 Melta
Hunter-Killer Missile Unlimited 9 1 Heavy 1, Single shot
Punisher Cannon 18” 6 6 Assault 12
Power Fist - Userx2 2 Melee, Unwieldy
Heat Lance - User 2 Armorbane
Melta Pistol - 6 2 Pistol, Melta
Melee Weaponry
Titan Stone Sword: Unique to each Full Brother of the Conservators. These are swords they crafted for themselves with the aid of their homeworlds greatest blacksmiths, and meditated with over the Titan Stone.
Avalon: One of the first relics the chapter was given. Presented to the first Chapter Master on the founding of the chapter, and has been in near constant use. The sword is made of strange steel that seems to glow a pure white. This weapon is scratched and scarred by battle, but this seems to only give the weapon a deeper beauty. The wielder gains the It Will Not Die special rules, and is a melee weapon with the stats given above.
Miscellaneous Equipment
Great Armor: The Chapters supply of Artificer armor was nonexistent, and most of the Tactical Dreadnought Armor was lost in the first Great War against the Orks. A pseudo-replacement was created by taking a normal suit of power armor, and adding layers of steel plating to attempt to increase the suits protective capabilities. This armor comes with a built-in Bolt Repeater, provides a 2+ save, a 5++ invulnerable save, and the very bulky special rule. Units in Great Armor may not be mounted unless stated.
Plate Armor: A scaled-down version of the original armor that the chapter made use of until the recovery of the Mk V “Heresy” armors with Captain Mackyntire. Militiamen are sometimes seen forsaking their lighter armor for plate if they know a close combat fight cannot be avoided. It is also used as protection for the Chapters Psy-Aspirants. Confers a 5+ save.
Power Armor: You know it and love it-3+save
Scout Armor: Atypical Space Marine Scouting Plate, confers a 4+ save
Flak Armor: The basic cobbled together armor worn by the Local March militia, it provides the most basic of protection-6+ save
Special Wargear
Horse: The standard mount of the scouts, more out of necessity then anything else. This changes the models type to cavalry. All Horses attack at S=User
• Plains Horse: +5pts. Scouts and Militia only. Comes with basic Barding-6+save
• Cherixre War Horse: +20 points. Marines only, not compatible with Great Armor. Comes with Heavy Barding-5+ save, Can be upgraded with Festille-Pattern War Barding-4+ save for 10 points
Plains Horse WS2 BS0 S3 T3 W1 I2 A1 LD5 SV6+ Infantry 1 Horse
Cherixre War Horse WS4 BS0 S4 T5 W2 I3 AD1 LD8 SV5+ Infantry 1 Cherixre War Horse
OK, here is the thing. All mounts do is give the cavalry type, and some bonus to the riders stat line. They are like bikes.
Relics
Limited to one a squad and 3 for the whole army
• Smoke Grenade Cluster: One-use, Large-Blast that doesn’t scatter, centered on the unit, provides a 5+ Cover Save until the next turn-20 points
• Bachilius: A Massive and ornery Cherixre Stallion who was modified extensively by ArchMagos Gearhardt. Bachilius has +1 S/T/W/A over a regular Cherixre and a 5+FNP due to all the Cybernetics. Comes Stock with Festille-Pattern War Barding and will only carry an IC in Great Armor. 40 pts
• Bio-Targeting Array: Model gets +1BS-10pts
• Throwing Lances: Whenever a unit charges another it inflicts X additional S4 (S3 if used by Militiamen) AP- hits where X is the number of models in the unit-20 points
• The Purifier of So’Chal: This Blessed hand-flamer was gifted to the Coservators Chapter Master by Canoness Elisa after the Order of the Argent Dawn settled in the Marches. It is a relic weapon of the Dark Age of Technology that uses a Plasma core to superheat the flames. Range 6” S7 AP 3 Small Template 20 points
• Armor of Garanius the Seedbearer-The armor of the Chapter most famous Marine, Garanius had survived blows that would drop many another marine, thanks to, ironically enough, the Armor’s slapdash makeup. The Armor of Garanius the Seedbearer is a mixture of all 8 of the marks of Astartes Power armor. It grants a 3++ save and 5+FNP. 40 points
High Relics
Only one High Relic may be taken per army. A model can replace any of its weapons with one of the following.
• Avalon................. 40 points

A Vehicle may take any of the following:
• Pintle-mounted March-Pattern Missile Launcher................. 10 points

When they come up, he also leads the brothers in aiding chapters to which the Conservators owe a gene debt.

Wyrdlock
The Conservators are very careful when it comes to the training of Psykers. A vast majority of the psychically active aspirants are often partially lobotomized, with anti-daemonic seals being psychically imprinted on the brain as to prevent Warp-overexposure and thus have very little left to corrupt once the procedure is over. Only those who maintain intense calm and focus, and certain psychic disciplines at a young age are given the chance to enter the chapter properly as Wyrdlocks, The Conservators Librarians.

Only IG MEHTAL BAWKSES for you! (See Razorbacks) Cherixre Hetairoi
The Conservators bikes have long been pulled apart for spare parts and ammunition. So the Chapter had to look elsewhere for mounts. The Locals of one of the more obscure March worlds hinted that if the “feral, semi-demonic beasts” of the Cherixre Steppes could be tamed they could be of use. Wary of the warning, the Conservators investigated in company-force and what they found was at least a half truth. The Cherixre Horses are sturdy, monstrous, foul-tempered beasts that stand a good 7-8 feet at the shoulder, with a kick that can send a full-grown Ork flying. The heavy animals can easily carry a marine in full armor, and are themselves incredibly hard to injure. Slowly, over time (and many, many broken bones and dented breastplates), the Conservators finally found a method to tame the mares of the herd. Taming a stallion, outside of Bachilius, has proven impossible, the stallions far too prideful to take a rider.

Allies
As the Conservator don’t get around much the amount of allies they can call upon is rather limited. Notice a lack of Factions? Common sense goes a long way for these guys.
Battle Brothers
• Sisters of Battle: Order of the Argent Dawn. Acts of faith are always fun. Not to mention the much needed anti-tank the Sisters provide.
• Knight Houses: The Fluff supports it and they need all the (ranged) help they can get Allies of Convenience
• Eldar: Good for providing anti-tank options and very fast threats like Jetbikes as the Conservators are not a “speedy” army
• Power Armored Goons of Multiple Colors and Moods
• Imperial Guard: Actual Artillery is a thing, not to mention Flyers
• Grey Knights: Divination and tough-as-balls marines? Also fluffy. Though not a good choice in way of prohibitive cost in an already pricey army.
One Eye Open
Inquisition: Just because one can never be too cautious or careful.
Come the Apocalypse
Mechanicus/Skitarii: Outside of Hephaestus-IV they are not on good terms in the slightest.
Orks: They started the whole mess with the Mechanicus in the first place.
Formations
Conservators Hearth Force: A Captain in a Command Squad, 2 units of Scouts, 1 unit of Tacticals, one unit of Devastators and one unit of Great Armored group up. The Captain gains EW, the Scouts and Tacticals gain Counter-Attack, and the Devastators and Great Armored may Deep Strike.
Blitz Suppression Force: 3+ units of Scout Skirmishers, one with a Skirmisher Champion, and an attached Wyrdlock with Telepathy. The turn the units enter play they have Shrouded and Fearless.
Louen’s Crushers: A 5 man unit of Great Armored, a Razorback Punisher and a unit of Cherixre Hetairoi with an attached Captain team up to crush the Emperor’s foes. The Razorback has IWND, the Great Armored gain Rampage and HoW, and the Cherixre Hetairoi gain Rage.
Pride of the Auxiliary: A Chaplain joins 4+ units of Militiamen and single Arbalesti Support Team. The Militia and Chaplain have Furious Charge and Fearless, and Crusader as long as the Chaplain remains in play, while the Arbalesti Support Team gains Pinning.
FAXIV Results for Codex: Conservators[edit]
This took me awhile to do, had to familiarize myself with the odd codex first before diving into FAXIV for it. The Focus Rods are really odd. Evilexecutive (talk) 17:17, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
Yeah... I kinda forced them to make the Humble marines have some form of heavy and special weapons. I have come to see why mixed base line armies keep the units as pure one statline as possible. --Bobthe6th (talk) 20:58, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
On a side note, Implosion Locus Auto-glances everything on a 4, which is kinda odd, and makes it a very powerful, reliable ranged Anti-tank weapon. Take 4 of them and strip a land raider every round. Most of the Rods were highly under-cost, most notably the Lance Strike and the Implosion Locus.
- On BS 3 models? Probably, I just wonder if that is included in the math. Implosion Locus is a problem child that I keep messing with. I thought I had already gone to the S8 lance version that does the same thing really. It is the melta gun equivalent. Also magic missile is using the missile launcher as the template, with frag, krakk, and flakk. --Bobthe6th (talk) 20:58, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
- S8 Lance reduces AV14 and AV13 down to AV12, effectively meaning it glances heavy vehicles on 4s, while it still has better chances against AV10/11. Implosion Locus is an S6 Gun that increases its strength by 1 for every point above AV10, meaning it literally just auto-glances on 4s. But in the case of Explosion, it glances EVERYTHING on 4s, including light vehicles. That's noticably different from Meltaguns which basically penetrate everything on a whim. I screwed up the man then, in that case you need 8 Implosion Locuses to pop a land raider every turn. Evilexecutive (talk) 22:26, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
- As for Fist of Man, it's essentially a plasma gun without gets-hot. Same deal as the KI Plasma Guns, and therefore follows the same pricing as other plasma guns. Evilexecutive (talk) 22:26, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
- You need to note that down for the Magic Missile on what it does. Evilexecutive (talk) 22:26, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
- Edited the missile variable mode names to make it clear. Apparently I failed to actually look for formatting to copy, doh. When you attack with a magic missile, you chose which uses of Storm of missiles, Blast missile, and Hail of missiles you want to use. I now see that I left the armory sections really bare... yeah gonna fix that.--Bobthe6th (talk) 23:10, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

Actually do mathhammer like an adult[edit]
stopped and actually mathhammered it out the implosion locus as S8 AP 1 lance versus the melta gun. A S8 lance versus S8 melta comes down to a matter of if you trigger melta. The lance has a .25 chance to take a hull point each shot with BS3, which is better then the melta gun at >9" for AV13&14, but with melta it is out done at every point at every level. So the question is how easy it is to close to 9" on a tank.
