How about it?
I know it isn't easy to put it all together, but maybe some contributors could clean up their entries so it is ready be inserted into the main post? Would suggest to add at least a point cost , unit type, and FoC slot ( or outside ), to any entry.

Rumour-Monger A-SALT Squad

These figures are always the first to post news for the community, before even GW knows about it. Anyone who tells them otherwise gets a-SALT-ed!

Points: 16pts each
WS: 4
BS: 3
S: 3
T: 3
W: 1
I: 5
A: 2
Ld: 7
Sv: 4+

Unit Type: Jump Infantry

Unit Composition: 5-15

Wargear: Bolt Pistol, Jump Pack, Close Combat Weapon
May exchange close combat weapon for power weapon - 10pts each

Special Rules: A Grain of Salt, Deep Strike, Scouts, Divination

A Grain of Salt: Rumour-Mongers always come with a pile of salt, which they throw at their enemies eyes as they charge - ouch!!! They count as being equipped with Assault Grenades, and have the Furious Charge USR.

Divination: So wise are the Rumour-Mongers that the Dakka are able to prognosticate the enemy formation - often months in advance. For each unit of Rumour-Mongers in the army, roll a D3 before deployment and apply the result below:
1) The rumours are totally bogus! No advantage is gained this battle.
2) The Codex leaks early, and only DAKKA has the hands-on scoop! You can seize the Initiative against this army on a 4+.
3) You have gotten months to prepare for this new force. Any D3 units in the army gain the Preferred Enemy USR.

Now, they hide, and wait.


Points per model: 15-22 (Help)

H.B.M.C.: 175 pts. + finecasthater cost

Upgrade to Finecasthaters

WS5 BS4 S5 T5 W2 I4 A4 LD10 Sv2+

Unit Type: Infantry, upgrade to haters. Up to one Haters squad in the army may upgrade a finecast hater to H.B.M.C., for the points cost listed.

Wargear: Hater armor, Mastercrafted Laspistol, Commissar Hat

Special Rules: GW Hate, Stubborn(confers to the unit), Spin in place, Preferred enemy(Kanluwen, New Armies)

Hater armor: The Hater armor is a set of power armor forged in the fires of Hater Mountain. It confers H.B.M.C with a 2+ armor save.

Mastercrafted Laspistol: A powerful laspistol with the following profile: Range: 24 Str 7 AP3 Assault 2 pinning

Commissar Hat: H.B.M.C. is never seen without his Commissar Hat. This confers no bonuses.

GW Hate: H.B.M.C. hates all things that GW does. Against any army with a codex after 4th edition, role a dice, on a 3+ all Haters in the army are changed from infantry to Beasts and have Preferred Enemy against the army they are facing. In addition, if Kanluwen is included in the force, H.B.M.C. MUST stay at least 18'' away from him, or they must immediately move to engage each other, with no alternatives, even if both are in squads. Always at odds with Kanluwen, they bicker back and forth, only occasionally united in cause.

Spin in Place: H.B.M.C.'s avatar is constantly spinning. It can dizzy opponents and confuse them. H.B.M.C. has a 4+ invulnerable save.

Server outlet is already a thing that's happening- I did the rules.
The generic HQ rules are OK, but they need rules to differentiate themselves between "Master Tacticians" and "Expert Modellers" (gamer and painter-types), as well as any others.
And the OT posters should be outside the FOC, but you shouldn't be able to take more than 3 units (they're off-topic, geddit?).

Basic unit = painting noob
> extra points paid > painter
painter > extra points paid and unit moved to elite = veteran painter

So yes, its basically 5 pts to get a noob, 11 pts ( 5 + 6 ) to get a painter, 19 pts ( 5 + 6 + 8 ) to get a veteran.

However, we could use the unit "noob" as base and allow to alter the noob to painting noob , modelling noob, gaming noob? etc but I don't see a reason why a noob dedicated to one facet of the hobby should be an upgrade to a generalist of said hobby.
Maybe I shall drop the painting noob and just aim to provide an upgrade from basic unit "noob" to painter ?

Painter have to be different from modellers and gamers IMO.
They are not anti-mech and surely just a unit to sit on an objective as they are now. The only real threat i built in, is when someone falls to the psychic attack of the veterans and a whole unit is taken out of play by our great dakka gallery itself...

@Vampirate of Sartosa:
Could reduce the cost of painters if the noobs are too attractive. Considered the noobs a cheap unit, lacking hitting power and options, just a lowly cover save, where painters get options, have +1 attack ( 2x CCW ) improved ini and saves. Plus a psi attack.
As stated above, noobs could be a basic unit, but why would they upgrade at all to another type of noob then? Wouldn't they aim to become a fully fledged painter, gamer, etc ?

GW Armor – Grants a 5+ invulnerable save

Ego Tokens – Mr Mystery begins the game with d3+1 Ego Tokens. 1 Token may be spent during the shooting phase per turn on one of the following Enhancements. Spending an Ego Token replaces Mr Mytery's shooting attack. Enhancements last until the beginning of the player’s next turn. If Mr Mystery is attached to the targeted unit, he gains the chosen Enhancement.
-Baiting: Target enemy unit within 12” gains the Rage special rule.
-Entrenched: Target friendly unit within 12” gains the Fearless special rule.
-He doesn’t stop!: Target friendly unit within 12” gains the Relentless special rule.
-Aaaaargh!: Target friendly unit within 12” gains the Furious Charge special rule.

Explosive Exit: When Mr Mystery has spent all of his Ego Tokens, place a large blast template centered over Mr Mystery. This blast is STR 8 AP 1. Mr Mystery is removed from the game (not as a casualty) after the blast.

I guess that I don't really feel like Painting Noobs should be more closely associated with painters than with noobs. For some reason.

Okay... In Dakka terms, what is it meant to represent? I can't see why this would go in a Dakka army.

HQ: Melissia.

250 points.

Unit type: Infantry.

WS: 5 BS: 5 S: 4 T: 5 W: 3 I: 7 A: 5 LD: 10 SV: 3+ (4++)

Wargear:

Facepalm fist: An ancient and holy power fist that has made many a facepalm. The Facepalm fist counts as a power fist. In addition, it causes 2 wounds instead of 1 (assuming it doesn't cause Istant Death of course).

Inferno pistol.

Special Rules:

Fangirl (meant in the nicest possible way!): An army including Melissia may include up to 500 points of Orks or Sisters of Battle. In addition, these units can be taken from old, out of print Codexes.

Charming: Melissia is utterly lovely, and as a result all models that attempt to shoot or assault her must take a leadership test, and if they fail this test, may not assault or shoot at all. This rule does not apply to Necrons or Tyranids, due to their lack of souls.

Feel no Pain, Furious Charge, Eternal Warrior, Fearless, Independent Character.


Please remember this is a joke...

I somehow fail to see the reason.
Isn't "painting" noob a hint on its quest to become a painter? But I offered to drop them and so I do. Consider them edited out.

He doubts the dakka gallerys power ?


I'll change it a bit and we will see if you still deem it OP.

Special rule:
- let me show you this...
> psychic shooting attack / 2D6 hits. Range = 18" Needs line of sight.
Once per game turn the Veteran Painter unit may attempt to entangle 1 unfreindly non-vehicle unit with the sheer awesomeness that is the dakka gallery. Any model hit has to take a test on its unmodified leadership stat.
- if at least one model fails his test, the following happens:
- the model who failed is inable to act as its too busy browsing the dakka gallery.
- This model cannot shoot, attack or use any psychic power in this game turn.
- It resists to move and is most likely dragged on, slowing his unit down. The whole unit halves its movement in his controlling players turn.
- Any afflicted models may move on normally when the effects wear off at the end of his controlling players turn.

- gorechild ( 340 pts )

army wide special rulez

- Infighting
- They have it, why shouldn't Dakka have it?

Dakkanauts in italics. Could posters please consider their point-costs and place in the FoC? There are still holes now...in this list.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Could we have dakkanauts as unique char instead of just IC ?
Except some of you want to be copied/cloned.....
