Am I ok at 200 points? I've made some fairly drastic changes, if not, can someone give me some guidance as to what we all think my points should be?

I'll start on the codex at next roundup; this gives people time to sort out their units/ add more in. If there are issues with your units, such as points costs, or things that don't make sense, they will not be included in the codex until they are resolved.

Please be patient with this, remember I have a life too. I can post the codex here when I'm done, or send a 1st draft to poeple heavily involved in this thread (such as 1hadhq and Vampirate of Sartosa) when it's done.

A lot of these ideas are alright, but I can't see why they should be in a Dakka army. Specifically, Matt Ward, the Machine of Dakkadeath, C.S. Goto, the King of Predators and the Editor MC. Maybe we should go over this list- check each one for suitability and quality of rules...

I agree, the only reason that I put the Dakkadeath in was so I could be an upgrade

The list has to be made first to go over it.

But aren't we waiting for updates of several entries already? Maybe you should create a list of what needs adressing?
I barely sorted the suggestions by name to give possible participants an idea what is done and where we got free spots.
Surely not going to take your duties of creating a "thumbs up" / "thumbs down"

Alright, we're talking sense so the codex can wait until after we've sorted what is going in.

Where does this go in the FoC?

Heavy Support

New rules for me:-)

Okay, that is way too many rules. Hell, four rules plus wargear is pushing it.

Also, important announcement on rules for Dakkanauts:
Please try to refrain from making yourself into an HQ, independent character or monstrous creature- most Dakkanauts don't stand out from the crowd like that. The best method is to make yourself a unit upgrade.

ok...
maybe i was pushing it...
ill redo myself.

Master of Ordianance, you made yourself far too OP!

I'd like to change myself to an upgrade to the /b/tard unit for 150pts:

Durza (unit upgrade-changes unit to Elite)
WS-5 BS-4 S-4 T-4 W-2 I-5 A-3 Sv- 4+/5++

Equipment: Cupcakes, Friendship cannon, Discord.

Cupcakes are apparently harmless, but they contain a dark secret... They are defensive grenades which also reduce the leadership of a unit charging by 3 for the purposes of Shocking Imagery, or removes the Fearless rule from that unit.

Friendship Cannon: Can be fired in two modes; orbital or normal.
Normal: S5, AP3, Assault 2 Range: 24
Orbital: S10, AP1, Heavy 2 Range: 48

Discord: A blade containing all the power of the internet's disharmony. It is a two handed power weapon which bestows +1 attack to Durza for every casualty inflicted during the current turn (max 4)

Special Rules:
-I'm gonna tolerate and love the sh*t out of you!- All /b/tards in the unit are upgraded to Bronies. This adds +5 per model upgraded to Durza's cost. The unit is Fearless.

-Hate Detected- Once per battle, the Friendship Cannon may be fired in Orbital mode as an Assault 2 weapon against a unit which attempted to assault Durza's unit the previous turn, or a tank which attempted to tank shock Durza's unit the previous turn.

-Anti-Hate Shields- Once per battle, Durza can bestow a 3++ save on the unit for a single turn.

Deadshot, Crudcakes, and Lord Magnus, the aspiring champions of homebrew - 200 points Troops

Stats (Variable)

At the beggining of the game roll a d6, on a 6 you may choose on of the Primarchs listed on the Primarch thread instead, on a 2-5, They transform to Deathwatch Marines, with the same profile as sternguard but adding, BS5, 2 wounds, and a CCW. On a roll of a one however they are replaced with 3 veterans (C:IG) One with a melta, one a plasma, and one a flamer.

A possible 700pt primarch for 200 points? O.O

Durza that is brilliant and I love you. Platonically.
Also @Magnus yeeeaahno.

So does this make Yakface an apocalypse unit?

Would an increase to 400 do it?

Dude, maybe an increase to Apoc and 700

Yakface? Where are you getting that from?

Vampirate of Sartosa wrote:Durza that is brilliant and I love you. Platonically.

Hopefully you meant that about the rules and not the O.O . Meh. It's getting sigged either way.

I'm now the leader of any jump infantry unit that wants me, for 220 points and no longer an IC now.

Speaking of which, do we actually have any JI?

the Rumor-mongers would be JI.
Not sure if he fits in..

Another list...
Would like to ask to have a look and vote entries in/out.
Also adding unit types would be great.

unsure

- Egocentric forumite

outside FOC

- Conversionists: upgrade to standard GW codex choices, will fit into its parent units FoC slot. For pts cost see options.
- Rule Crafters - 50pts each
- Lurkers - pts=special
- 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?

The heavy support section looks like it needs some work, too much large stuff that costs way too many points for 1500ish points or less.

To assuage this:

"Noble" Troll...............115 Points

---OT forum posters---
Deep in the darkest pits of Dakka lurks the OT forum, described by some as the illegitimate child of a DE Haemonculus' flesh-lab and Tzeentch's impossible crystal labyrinth, this den of obscurity and depraved rambling is bizarre enough to drive those who look upon it to madness. Those that post there are no better off...

Size: 5-10
Type: Infantry

Stats:
As IG guardsman

Weapons/Equipment: Laspistol & CCW

(does someone want to figure out some upgrades for this unit? (go with a CC-oriented)

Special Rules:
Lolwut?
Aura of absurdity

Lolwut? - Sometimes an OT thread is posted that is so profoundly absurd that it stuns those who gaze upon it. Once per shooting phase the unit may use Lolwut? on an enemy unit within 18". The affected unit must make a leadership test, if they pass they may continue as normal, if they fail they will become pinned for the remainder of the turn as they try to understand what the hell the thread is on about.

Aura of absurdity - The wackiness that eminates from the OT forums penetrates deep into the very fabric of it's posters, as such, an aura of craziness exudes from them, confusing and disorienting would-be attackers. any unit in close combat with OT forum posters strikes at initiative 1

Give them jump packs and I will happily lead a horde of them unto victory for the glory of Dakka

Oh, and What points should i be put at, BTW? I have no idea really.

Fast Attack:

Grammar Nazis:

30 points per model.

WS: 5 BS: 5 S: 4 T: 4 W: 1 A: 3 LD: 10 SV: 4+

Unit Type: Jump Infantry.

Unit Composition: 5-10 Grammar Nazis.

Wargear: Heavy Bolter, Bolt Pistol, Close Combat Weapon.

May replace Heavy Bolter with:

Missile Launcher: 5 points.

Plasma Cannon: 10 points.

Lascannon: 15 points.

Assault Cannon: 20 points.

Special rules:

Grammar Nazism: At the beginning of the battle, nominate D6 enemy units. The opponent must then roll a D6 for each unit. On a 2-6 nothing happens to that unit. On a 1, the unit has been discovered to have below-perfect grammar and spelling. The Grammar Nazis may re-roll to hit and to wound rolls against these units for both shooting and assault. In addition, affected units may not take armour saves against attacks from the Grammar Nazis. Note that if the opposing player's first language is not English, this rule is ignored.

Fleet, Furious Charge.

For a cost of +60 points, 1 model in 1 Grammar Nazi squad may be upgraded to Squigsquasher.

Squigsquasher:

WS: 6 BS: 4 S: 5 T: 5 W: 3 I: 5 A: 4 LD: 10 SV: 3+

Unit Type: Jump Infantry.

Wargear:

The Punctuator: Squigsquasher carries a huge, rotary Heavy Bolter, with which he smites those who do not use proper grammar.

Range: 36" S: 5 AP: 3 Type: Heavy 6*

*The Punctuator wounds models nominated as having bad grammar on a 2+ (See "Grammar Nazism" rule).

Bolt Pistol, Close Combat Weapon.

Special Rules:

EXTREME Grammar Nazism: Squigsquasher has the Grammar Nazism rule. In addition, if his opponent makes any grammatical errors, or pronounces something incorrectly, then the player controlling Squigsquasher may immediately remove 2D6 models from the enemy's army. In addition, Squigsquasher hits models affected by the "Grammar Nazism" rule automatically in close combat. As with normal Grammar Nazis, this rule is completely ignored if the opposing player's first language is not English.

Wings: Squigsquasher has wings, not a jump pack! This has no in-game effect, it just serves to make sure you get his model right.

GW Fanboy: Squigsquasher is firmly in GW's camp when it comes to arguments. Squigsquasher and his unit must keep at least 12" away from any unit of Haters, Mat Ward Haters, or Finecast Haters. If the unit is forced within 12" of a unit of Haters, Mat Ward Haters, or Finecast Haters, then they must pass a Leadership Test or fire at that unit.

For Grammar!: A unit of Grammar Nazis that includes Squigsquasher gains the Relentless USR. This includes Squigsquasher himself.

Fleet, Furious Charge.

Grammar Nazi's should really not have affecting on the foreign language speaker's, as, there not understanding why, when there typing, the Grammar Nazi's feel down.

OK, that's fine, I'll edit the rules.
