Hi all,

Version 6.1 is now out; attached below.

6.1 is largely 6.0 with better formatting. 6.2 should bring revisions and additions to fluff, alongside multiple special characters.

Cheers,

Disty

**KOVAV**

Dude, looking forward to it, I love to see fans doing stuff instead of GW, lol. Ok, I'll play; does it include any kind of Sphess Meehhhreeens?

**disty**

Yay! I got a bite

*Ahem* I meant to say...

No.

**HerbaciousT**

Is this going to be a Fandex for an existing Faction (or part of a faction, e.g. a Chapter or Craftworld) who do not have a dedicated codex currently?

**disty**

No.

**Thatguyhsagun**

Is it for an outdated (as in terminated) Warhammer 40k force? (Squats, Malal specific chaos force ect..)

**disty**

No.

(Although you touched upon a related aspect!)

**Thatguyhsagun**

Are you creating your own race? (this has caught my attention, I likes me some puzzle games)

Automatically Appended Next Post:
Or does it have something to do with Malal? ( I love his story just wish he would come back)

Strictly speaking, no.

Malal may play a part in proceedings... Although I've taken massive liberties with both his backstory and the 40k lore in general, so no promises that you'll like it!

**Thatguyhsagun**

hmmm.... So its an existing race then? does it have its own codex, or is it just a portion of a codex (ie you can make sallies from the SM dex but they don't have their own) OR is it the fallen Dark Angles?

**disty**

Yes/No/Maybe only Thatguyhsagun

Muwhahahah

**Thatguyhsagun**

dang it... ok:
Is it an existing codex? If no, an existing race?
Is it the Fallen Dark Angles?

**disty**

No. Yes. No.

**Thatguyhsagun**

Ok so not space marines...
Is it a Tau Empire race?

**disty**

No.

**rabid1903**

Is it a race that has shown up in rumors within the last year?

Good example is Demiurg.

**disty**

I wasn't aware the Demiurg were rumours were as recent as a year ago! I'm going to say a hesitant no.

**Thatguyhsagun**

Feth this is secret... is it in the fluff of any of the dexes?

**disty**

Yes.

**Thatguyhsagun**

Is it xenos?
Is it EoM?

**disty**

Yes.
No.

**Thatguyhsagun**

So its not tau, is it any form of eldar?

**disty**

No.

(Also I'm off to bed so don't expect a further reply until later)

P.s. Thanks for the enthusiasm!

**Thatguyhsagun**

God dang...so to recap:
No Sphes Marhines
No IoM
Not Tau
Not Eldar
Is it a Tyranid unit? if so,perhaps the old genestealer cults?

**PrinceOfMadness**

Better recap:

Race currently exists within fluff.
Fandex does not cover a faction with a currently supported codex.
Fandex is Xeno in origin, not IoM.

Going to ask a couple of questions here:
Does the 'faction' represented by the fandex have representations in more than one codex?
Does the 'faction' represented by the fandex appear in more than one Games Workshop official book? (Black Library is included)
Does the 'faction' represented by the fandex have any 'official' models (which is to say, produced by Games Workshop or Forge World)?

And a couple of guesses:
Slann?
Hrud?
Slaugth?
Megarachnid?
Old Ones?
Jokaero?!?

**Thatguyhsagun**

Huh some of those I have forgotten about. Aren't slann from WHFB?
As for the questions, you phrased them much better than I could have (the book and model question are the reason I came back to the thread) I'm really looking fwd to seeing this fandex

No.

Nice recap Prince, as for your questions:

PrinceOfMadness wrote:

Maybe (I'm going to assume representation is anything and codex is not necessarily current)

PrinceOfMadness wrote:

Yes.

Your grape shot approach has paid dividends but I'll also answer in a similar manner. Four clear misses, one hit firmly in the fluff and the other is a direct hit, sinking my battleship.

They are, the Old ones are often considered their 40K mirror.

**Painbiro**

Oh, please let it be Slaugh! We all like maggot-creatures that eat faces, don't we?

In all seriousness, I'll be looking out for this.

Damn right we do! Sadly though it's not the Slaugh.

**ALEXisAWESOME**

Is it the Hrud? A Hrud force worshipping Malal? Is it true that the Hrudworship a C'tan (heard that somewhere)?

will it include these? http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/File:Umbra_in_battle.jpg
