Automatically Appended Next Post: and why the iron-man-chest-thing?
see those firey things on his back? Thats his wings. I am a chaos god after all.
And iron man chest thing? You mean his chest plate?
I am actually planning on making 2 of these guys for my Wanderers army. Should be interesting.
From whom are unforgiven we bring the mercy of war.
if there is only 3 FA than it's an easy option to move one or two of the "where do I put these" into FA and just mesh some rules around. Or move an HQ into another slot. Again, a lot of HQ choices, but it's all good.
When you're thinking fiery angel wings, are you think diablo 2 by any chance, Tyriel or Tyrial I think it was. I get that, that's cool.
Can our fluff be about an entire system from another universe that was warped into the 40k verse by playing with forces beyond their control. A system of dakkites who had already conquered their verse and were at firs awestruck and saddened at the space shift, until they realized there was still war here, and they now could use their awesome toys once again?
No, but seriously, what did happen to the fluff? No posts or nothin?

“Well, what do you carry the gun for if you’re just going to waste bullets?” Timer reloads his Boomer as Forling fires his Shrapper.
“I may ‘ne be a good shot Timer, but I don’t miss much from this close up with my hammer,” Forling continues to fire.
“All the enemies are good and far away so what the hell does that…” Timer looks up to see Forling giving him an angry stare. “Oh, yea, ok, um, good shooting.”
I could write it but I am too lazy too do so. Plus i would need approval.
PLus Fiery Angels would be a boost to amount of other options we have right now.

Anywho, in regards to fluff I can chip in a bit if no one's doing any.
Arguing with some people is like playing chess with a pigeon. You can play the best chess in the world, but at the end of the day the pigeon will still knock all the pieces off the board and then gak all over it.
There is someone doing fluff, is what I was poking fun at. Not that anyone else writing any is not cool or anything, just that, I was wondering when the person who was writing fluff *they know who they are* was going to post some or links to some?
Not asking them to hurry, take your time and all, just really curious as to what crazy kind of fluff can make sense of these rules and characters of which we have eluded to. It does garner my interest as toward reading it.
Speaking of which, let me go back and find the post by the person who officially aloud me into the codex so I can use their name in the Dwellar fluff. Not sure what race or partext they'll be, but I am a man of my word so going to write 'em in.

The problem with your rules is that you're not really prominent enough on Dakka to be an HQ or unique unit. What we're mainly doing is having people be unit upgrades, a bit like sergeant Telion.

I changed my entry, since normal members can't be MCs
CthuluIsSpy - 125pts
CthuluIsSpy is an upgrade to a veteran dakka gamer squad. The squad he joins becomes sneaky veteran gamers, and gain the Fearless, infiltrate, stealth and "Wait, why are you shooting at us!" special rules. In addition, the Sneaky veterans have access to the following wargear options (in addition to their normal options). However, they lose access to bikes, terminator armor and jump and jet packs, iron halos and jetbikes.
Any model in the SVG squad may replace his default weapon with
Synaptic disintegrater - 5pts
Type: Infantry (Unique)
WS3 BS4 S4 T4 W3 A2 Ld10 3+/5++
Wargear : Armor of Mind ery, Claw of Cthulu
Armor of mind ery : Grants a 3+/5++ save. Counts as having defensive grenades and offensive grenades, and in addition any enemy units must reroll all successful hits in both CC and Shooting; they are too perplexed to concentrate on fighting and aiming!
Claw of Cthulu : Two handed Force Weapon that adds +1 to strength and has the following ranged attack : Epeleptic Breeze : Range: 12" S: D6Ap: D6 Assault D3, pinning This ranged attack is not psychic.
Special Rules : Infiltrate, Fearless,stealth, "Wait, why are you shooting at us!" , Vulgar Tirade, Pfft Demons....
"Wait, why are you shooting at us!" : Place CthuluIsSpy's squad in reserve as normal. However, when they arrive he replaces an enemy infantry squad on the table (that does not have a dedicated transport) of CthuluIsSpy's owner's choice. The squad he replaces is placed in reserve (I'm not that cheesy) CthuluIsSpy and his squad may charge, move and shoot as normal.
Vulgar Tirade : Once per game, CthuluIsSpy may burst into a cacophony of curse words, obscure references and lewd remarks, that breaks the insanity of all who is near.
Range: Flamer S10* AP1, *Resolved against target's leader value. If failed, remove the model from play.
This ability has no effect against Space Wolves (they've heard worse), and things Slaaneshi (don't ask)
Pfft Demons....: Immune to perils of the Warp (Demons won't go near him...)

Vampirate, I trust you'll be ok with handling the fluff from now on?
I'm getting to work on my section once more, should be done shortly.
Otis the Barbarian, it would be a wise move not to threaten people such as 1hadhq. We rather like him. It would also be a good idea to check the rules on what can be posted. I'm not sure your dogvatar is really prominent enough on Dakka to be considered for the codex.
CthuluIsSpy: Maybe a bit more than 100 points (120 ish?) But otherwies looks OK to me.

Probably, even I can't remember everything that went on back in those days.. hell, there was a lot going on in the RP section even before myself and the "original vets" started running things.
Also, if it's alright with everyone, I'd like to write some additional roleplayer rules for other upgrade characters, to represent other prominent roleplayers, or at least include them as special rules or some-such under my own profile.

Under your own profile sounds fine to me, but I'm not the defining voice of the codex. Perhaps in this style:
Roleplayer X points
-- Stats --
May instead be taken as RoleplayerBob for +100 points
-- Stats --
May be taken as Roleplayer jim for +50 points
-- Stats --
and so on.

I don't know how I've managed to miss this thread, but: Shrike- 100pts (comes under fast attack, takes up no slots on the FOC)
WS4 BS5 S3 T4 W2 A4 Ld9 3+
wargear: power armour twin lightning claws jump pack bolt pistol
Special rules: DCM- Being allowed access to classified data, shrike can re-roll one dice roll per turn, with a +1 modifier to any reserve rolls for his army. Master of shadows- stealth, hit & run, infiltrate, fleet. I blame shrike- if the player chooses, any wounds taken on an IC via shooting attack may be taken on Shrike if the IC wishes. Underestimated- Shrike is thought to be of little threat in a battle. He is, however, prone to unexpected bursts of luck, will or plain insanity. His insane heroism rule when rolling a leadership check is applied on a 4 or below as opposed to a 2.

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 1 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 5+ invulnerable save.
Kroothawk
Spoiler:
Kroothawk 230pts
WSBS S T W I A LDSV 6 4 6 5 4 5 5 10 4+
Monstrous Creature (Bestowed by Greater Knarloc)
KrootHawk Rides a greater Knarloc. The boosts to his profile are already included.
Weapons and Armour: Kroot Rifle, Hammer Of Brutally Crushed Rumours.
The Hammer Of Brutally Crushed Rumours is a thunder hammer which bestows the following shooting attack:
Range Strength AP Special
Template 10 1 Roll to wound against LD, Assault 1
Special Rules: You'll Get This... And This...: Any model from Codex: Dakkadakka within 12" of Kroothawk is fearless.
Old Farts (Actually really liked this from the humorous side of things.
Spoiler:
Old Fart (elites) 80 PPM
M WSBS S T W I A LdSv Int Cl Wp
4 3 3 3 4 2 2 1 7 2+ 7 9 9
You may take 1-3 Old Farts per elites choice. They are not deployed together and act as individuals during a game. They also cannot take transports, as they do not trust in these new-fangled machines, unless the vehicle is pre fourth edition.
Mutants - Lifelong exposure to superglue has warped the old fart in many strange ways. Roll d8 times on the Mutation Table (Rogue Trader p52)
Fearless - Keeper of Secrets? I remember when you used to be three inches smaller and were still fighting Zoats. And noise marines were always better with proper guitars.
Flexidisk - Upon hearing the sounds of Bolt Thrower from an antique flexidisk player, all enemy models within 6" take a -1 penalty to their SANITY (read Ld for any and all tests required, with cumulative penalties per player turn).
Herohammer - All HQ choices in the army get 50pts extra to their wargear allowance. Of course, if you're playing with current edition rules, this has no effect. But what idiot would do that?
(Or just 50 extra points to your army list. Yeah, that works too.)

I second that.
Before it gets put into the codex under any rules.
I had a force opponent to re-roll their succesful hits or wounds thing in my original write of the Dwellar. After a few playtests with it, I found it was just really not cool. It's hard when you watch your opponent re-roll failed hits, but you live with it, or re-roll failed wounds, rarely even armor saves, but when a player manages to get a hit on something, and they have to roll their own success again and fail, it's not cool. It really does drum the game down, and if we are ever going to use this codex in an actual game format, I would kindly suggest, stronger than any suggestion I've previously made, to never have any rule that forces someone to re-roll what may already be a lucky roll for them.

DCM would certainly be a good option for Mods and Admins to have, as well as the HQ special characters. Or just have it so that for X points, the champion of any unit can become a DCM, unless they are a Special Character who doesn't have that rule already. And especially not Durza, since he should never be trusted with power. Of any kind. Ever.
As for what it would do, possibly some form of infiltrate or scout via the DCM forum, an extra cover save since they can change their appearance (well just title, but...) or bonus to shooting since they're not distracted by ads.
Arguing with some people is like playing chess with a pigeon. You can play the best chess in the world, but at the end of the day the pigeon will still knock all the pieces off the board and then gak all over it.
As a note to Vampirate, I would like to Durza's fluff included. 'twas a particular favourite of mine
Erm... yeah, I'm all for DCM as an option, but what exactly does it do?
Hmm... LD bonus of +1, inv save buff (think mark of Tzeench C:CSM style)?

Well, think of what DCMs get:
title change (no idea)
no adverts (less distractions)
DCM forum (more intel/knowledge/restricted area)
less money
I'd go with something like outflank/DS via DCM forum as Durza suggested, infiltrate (as we are masters of disguise), +1 to reserve rolls/can outflank/DS turn 1, etc.

I'm not sure that I like the idea of a real Shrike sitting on my couch eating my Skittles. corpsesarefun: Thank god I missed be nice to shrike day. greenskin lynn: because of all the skittles and soda, you basically live off sugar water, like some sort of freakish human-hummingbird hybrid.

I suppose I could do some fluff for the roleplayers, seeing as that is my own particular area of expertise on Dakka. I tell you, a lot of interesting inter-player stories and shenanigans took place without the majority of Dakka even being aware of it.
Ah, those were the golden days, back when seeing a Mod in the Roleplay section was a rare thing. The freedom, the sweet, sweet freedom.
I don't really understand... my posts hurt you eyes? how? and what is this with the "mod in the Rp section"? and that "a lot of inter-player stories and shenanigans" stuff? I can't understand any of this....!

It's a reference to a lot of things which have happened in the course of many RP's on dakka.
An example:
In Space Hulk, WARORK played an ork warboss who managed to kill a warhound titan, while in a mega dread, by headbutting it in the crotch.
And there are many others.
