Custom 8th edition house rules and campaign

[Caller_of_corpses]

Hey guys, I've been doing some hard thinking, and I've been trying to come up with ideas for custom magic items, unique terrain, custom scenarios ect.
Here's a magic item I've been looking into creating.......


Livings folly: 50 points

-One use only

-Magic object

when a model with livings folly is in base contact with an enemy character, he may choose to pierce them with livings folly. A model pierced by livings folly, immediately suffers a wound, with no saves of any kind allowed. If a model wounded by livings folly would be removed from play as a casualty, (at any point in the game, by any means) the model is instead "resurrected" within four inches of where the last wound was removed. The model must be at least one inch away from all units when it "resurrects". Upon resurrection, the models statline is lowered to

M4 WS2 BS0 S(stays the same) T(same) A1 I2 W(half the starting total rounded up) LD6

and it gains the "always strikes last" special rule and loses the "always strikes first" special rule. (If it had it to begin with)

........please let me know your thoughts opinions and recommendations
Sincerely,
-the corpse caller

It depends on what you'd like the resurrected to be. Zombie-like, vampire-like.

It's an interesting concept, what's the fluff behind it?

 

[Mad 'At]

I assume the pierced model becomes under the control of the player who used this item? That needs to be made more clear. However, all those mechanics comes with the in built problem that some people don't like other players to move their figures, should not be a problem in friendly games which I also assume is the intended use.

My dad came up w this one. A vampire hunter drops a stake, it gets corrupted, and has the power to control someone, it basically turns into a vampire fang. It takes the soul (or part of) whatever it kills, and makes them a zombified slave.

I'm currently reading the Ulrika novels and the fluff goes that when they feed upon a person, they become addicted to their kiss. Thus making them their 'slave'. They do stay human or whatever though.
That is, if the vampire doesn't kill him ofcourse.

So you could make a D6 table of said 'Blood Kiss'

1. The Vampire has not been able to restrain him/her self from the feeding frenzy. The Model suffers D3 wounds (or something similar)
2-3 ..
4-5 ..
6 ..

Good idea, I will definitely have to come up with the rest though.
Hey, while I'm at it, do you guys have any idea for cool special rules to give to custom VC terrain?

I was thinking of making mass graves that can generate zombies, catacombs that make skellies, mausoleums that make GG, and deep caves, that make ghouls
