Well I finished the Unit descriptions & Army list for my custom Codex
http://www.box.net/shared/eejszdhcyd


* 1/9/11 VERSION *
http://www.box.net/shared/e8qrzdyfzx

I put this thread in general discussion. This is for anything relating to the codex whether it be rules, quotes, artwork or model conversions/paint jobs

I willl be uploading a conversion guide to the predator executioner when it is finished (I'm Waiting on the mail to bring me my bits that i need)

You need spell check:

Upon their arrival they found Bonuman and his men...waiting to meat them

.

The above sounds a very renegade thing to do.

Anyway.

its a start but I cannot get into the fluff, the reasons for the change seem pithy and an afterthought to what you wanted to achieve, which I suspect is to allow marines greater access to heavy weapons and access to IG like equipment?

The reason for the mechmarines turning traitor needs to be fully fleshed out before i can believe in this.

Also

Mechmarine terminators:
2 Thunder hammers or power fists? I have heard of redundancy but why this configuration?

Why does Aximand get warp powered hoojits and the daemon prince gets *new technological device* name. For dark mechs their weapon names sure are sterile.

Yeah I know that Bonuman's fluff is not very good it would have been better had i not rushed it.
They don't serve chaos in the conventional way and they don't even serve one of the major powers. The avatar of the true omnissiah is actually a minor chaos god. (ok so thats a bit of a stretch but you cornered me)
I know the fluff needs work but give me credit not a soul helped me with writing the fluff (inspired yes but direct help no sir)

I dont know why i gave aximand a warp device and not the daemon princes

the two thunder hammers and two power fists, that's easy to answer
they get an extra attack from it (its in the main rulebook)

I'm going to start writing the background section of the codex today.
I'm also going to Move Bonuman's Fluff to this section so it can be expanded upon.
also if anyone has any ideas for this codex feel free to post them here i will definitely consider anything someone throws my way.

I have Hit a dead end and need help from anyone. You see, Creative Writing is not one of my strong points and as such I have had a tough time thinking of background material for this codex. This is your chance users of Dakka Dakka help Shape a Marine Chapter, yes I am calling on people to help write background material for this codex.

Things to keep in mind:
The Mechmarines are NOT Servants/ followers of the Major dark gods they serve a Minor God Masquerading as the Omnissiah. (The entity is known as The Spirit of the True Omnssiah.)

The Mechmarines are Hereteks (or technological heretics) and were officially excommunicated for developing new technologies.

Mechmarines are notorious for scavenging rare weapons from battlefields, repairing them and using them again (including xenos weapons.)

Mechmarines are not against bargaining with other races to achieve their goals.

Anyone willing to write is allowed my only request is that the origins of the mechmarines is left to me and also let me know if you are going to write ahead of time so that i know people are interested
