No Quarter Fantasy Wargames

Creating The Hellbeast Profile

This page details the calculation involved in creating a Hellbeast profile.

Firstly, this model was somewhat larger than I had originally anticipated, so a suitably larger than life profile was going to be required. To start with, it was decided that a creature of such bulk should have two wounds (W) and be naturally strong.

The points values for each profile characteristic are taken from the main rules and added together to give a total number of points.

Attribute	Value	Why The Value	Points
AC	9	Bulky yet powerful, feral nature, not possessing too much speed.	+3
RA	2	Unable to make any ranged attacks.	+0
CC	6	Better than average close combat skill.	+6
ST	6	The size of the jaws and arms allow the creature an exceptional standard strength value.	+11
T	6	The size of the Hellbeast and its heavy skeletal structure should give it a good toughness.	+11
W	2	As a larger than average creature with a bulky frame, 2 wounds were allocated.	+10
CO	7	Above average command reflecting the creatures feral and demonic nature.	+9
Sub Total Of Points			(50)

Once the basic profile has been created, extra abilities and traits may be added. There are guidelines in the main No Quarter rules that recommend the maximum number of abilities that a model should take.

Attribute	Value	Why The Value	Points
Armour	4	Big and tough, equivilant of natural heavy armour.	+7
Ability	Cavalry	Since the Hellbeast has four legs, it should be able to galop well.	+6
Ability	Extra Attack (x2)	Between the creatures jaws and claws, an extra attack is justified to make this a effective close combat creature.	+8
Trait	Armoured Hide	The thick skin on the demonic Hellbeast should give it an extra dice when attempting a save.	+5
Comments	As the points total is reasonably high, this is designated an Elite model.
Total Points			76

The Hellbeast does not use any additional weapons as it relies on its natural jaws and claws to attack its enemies.

The completed profile is presented as shown below.

Name	AC	RA	CC	ST	T	W	CO
Hellbeast	9	2	6	6	6	2	7

Weapons	Claws and Teeth (as profile Strength)
