20 points for 5 WS 5 attacks on a charge? Slightly underpriced, methinks.

Yes we are fair to you, its not your fault you don't get "american" but "english" and then not even the best language...

Grammar nazis won't exist as nazis, as this term is nowhere used as common as it seems to be from a US / UK PoV.
There are still the same types of person worldwide ....just called differently and most likely not always focused on grammar and worse,
some of them tend to correct their fellow humans in every aspect. We call them " Oberlehrer" .Those who feel the urge to correct people...


Back to the entry, the grammar nazis got BS 5 and heavy bolters. Consider 5-10 HB at BS 5. Then add relentless from their squad leader...
Poor sods who failed the grammar test and get no armor-save against this.

As comfortable as it feels to be immune to this ( waves flag ), maybe the cost needs balancing as your main opponents most likely aren't foreigners and may fall under 'apply rule ? yes/no ? > yesss! '...
I would consider their weakness aganst vehicles too. HeavyBolters won't cut it if they face AV. Could be on purpose but wouldn't it give a chance to get away with bad grammar by hiding in transports? Couldn't walkers fill the battlefield with bad grammar, booming speakers turned to the max and the adepts of grammar can't do gak about it?

Would suggest to add "preferred enemy" to each grammar nazi unit on the table against any models with misspelled names in the army-list of the opponent.
But I would also reduce the heavy weapons to either 2x at 5 models or 4x from start.

I do agree with the issues presented. How much damage do Grammar Nazis actually do? Most of the time people resort to nitpicking a post's grammar when they wish to distract from the content. Even then, most people with poor grammar will just ignore the Grammar Nazi and continue with whatever idiot spew they were involved with before the Grammar Nazi came along.

o i c wat you did thar

Also, fluff? ALRIGHT WHY NOT.

"The warhost on the hill was one of the most bizzare sights I had ever seen on a battlefield... Xenos, daemons and humans collected together in units together, gripping dice and paintbrushes; Orks, humans and creatures for which I had no name, clad in ancient armour and clothing; steam-powered walkers with antique-armoured assistants; and many bizarre war-machines, many of which had no purpose that I understood.
An Eldar, bizarrely dressed in a customised suit of power armour and standing on a shield borne by two servants, was carried forth out of the crowd. Raising his Daemon weapon, he shouted three abrupt words:
"Thin! YOUR! PAINTS!"
With that, every member of the warhost screamed out their own battlecry; only a few that I heard were "WOLVES FOR THE WOLF GOD, WOLVES FOR THE WOLF THRONE!", "METAL BAWKSES!", and, strangest of all, "CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!". However, after a few seconds, all these shouts were replaced with a single, simultaneous battlecry:
"DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA! 'ERE WE GO, 'ERE WE GO, 'ERE WE GO!" Upon shouting this, the entire army charged down the hill, guns blazing." - extract from the report of Colonel Montague, Cadian 12th, on the "Gugalle Incident".

Ooh, fluff! Can I have a go?

The strange group had advanced, heedless of the las shots pummelling them. The commissar suppressed his own fear, ignoring the cheerful song that the heretics- preaching kindness, love, and (worst of all) magic as part of normal life- were singing. One of the men broke, dropped his lasgun and started babbling nonsense about friendship. The commissar shot him through the head without a second thought.
"There are only twenty of them, you worthless dogs! Eradicate them!"

Three lascannons were brought to bear against the group and the strange man that led them. As they fired, the man raised his hand, and a glowing multicoloured aura enveloped all twenty of them, blocking the lascannons like nothing.
"Hate detected," whispered a voice in the commissar's ear.

The front wall of the building exploded as two shots pounded the shelter apart. Dazed, the commissar forced himself to his hands and knees, coughing. Around him, his men were doing the same. Through the dust, the figure of the strange man emerged, accompanied by his strange followers. The commissar heard him speak and despaired.

"You... are going... to LOVE ME!"

maybe remove Squig Squasher and DreadlordME! could be a upgrade?

NO! I shall not be removed! I SHALL NOT BE DENIED AN ENTRY!

Also, going to edit Grammar Nazi entry.

Well, it seems like the HQ and Elites section could do with some trimming, but does anyone want to try make a codex format of this?

Volunteer> liquidjoshi

Because he said:

I feel sorry for whoever decides to make an actual codex from this. Having said that, I'm now considering it.

I'll start on a codex for this at the next roundup, even if it's just a compilation of the units posted here.

I think more generic HQs are needed as well. Is there a psyker option for the Admin?

Kroothawk, Melissia= SC, unique
DOOMTHUMBS= Heavy support
CthuluIsSpy, DukeBadham, Mr Mystery, DreadlordME!= Downgrade to unit upgrades. Sorry, guys.

I'll be good to go with ANY jump infantry.

Can I become a troop choice option, or somthing.

HQ: Chowderhead

Cost: 200 points

WS:6 BS:5 S:5 T:5 W:4 I:4 A:6 Sv: 4/3++

Wargear: Lashing Sarcasm, bag of knives, Lifejacket, Triangle of Friendship

Lashing Sarcasm: Chowderhead is known to be a bit of an asshat most of the time, and doesn't speak in a friendly tone. Ever. To represent him flaying his opponents alive with his voice, all close combat attacks he makes are Rending.

Bag Of Knives: This is a bag containing all the Knives Chowderhead has. He throws them, knowing full well that was another 20 bucks down the drain.

S: 4 | AP:2 | Assault 3 | 12 inch range

Lifejacket: This is a special piece of armor Chowderhead aquired from the sacking of West Marine. It grants him a 4+ Armor Save, and a 3+ Invul Save. Lord knows why the Armor Save is worse, but whatever. He's fethed in the head anyway.

Triangle of Friendship: Chowderhead is known to use the Mod Alert button, or as he refers to it, the "Triangle of Friendship". Any Moderators wishing to Deep Strike within 6 inches of Chowderhead may do so without scatter or taking any difficult or dangerous terrain checks.

Special Rules: VP of DOOMFART, ADD Avatar, Easily Bannable, Is he a Girl?

VP of DOOMFART: Chowderhead is the VP of the shadowy organization known as DOOMFART, or Dakkanauts overthrowing oppressive mods for a radiant tomorrow. Due to this nature, he can induct members into it's ranks merely by being in their presence.

Any models within 6" of Chowderhead gain the Stealth USR.

ADD Avatar: Chowderhead has gained a reputation of changing his Avatar around a lot. He is, therefore, hard to detect.

Every turn, replace Chowderhead with a new model that is currently not on the field. This does not mean that you can't have the same model on the Table at once. For Instance, if you replace Chowderhead with a model for Astorath the Grim, and he is already in play, this is fine. Please note which is which, however.

You do NOT have to tell your opponent what model you have replaced Chowderhead with. You must, however, start with the Chowderhead Model already in play. WSYIWYG does not count for all models that replace the original Chowderhead figure.

Easily Bannable: Chowderhead does a lot of stupid things, and as such, gets banned a lot. These Bans, however, do not last forever.

To represent this, Chowderhead is not removed when killed. Place the original Chowderhead model, lying on it's side, where Chowderhead has taken his last wound. On a 6, Chowderhead stands back up with D3 wounds, ready to jump right back into the fray.

Is he a Girl?: Many memes have been created around Chowderhead, the most prolific one is that Chowder is a girl. And in the Grim Darkness of the 41st Millennia, no-one can understand how a MEQ army can have chicks. This causes confusion and morale loss amongst the ranks. No-one wants to hit a hot chick!

Any unit wishing to fire upon Chowderhead must take a Morale test. If failed, no shots are fired. Vehicles count as Ld10 for the purposes of this rule.

*slow clap*

Fluff Lord (HQ, generic psyker unit)- 100pts
WS-5, BS-5, S-3, T-3, W- 2, I- 4, A- 2, Ld- 8, Sv- 5+/4++

Wargear: Paperback Book, Bolt Pistol, Plot Armour.

Paperback books are one handed force weapons.
Plot Armour grants a 4++ save. It also grants Eternal Warrior and the ability to re roll any 1s. (Re-rolls cannot be re-rolled. Clearly if you get a 1 twice in a row, that's what was meant to happen and you didn't read the book properly.)

Special Rules: Psyker (Mastery Level 2), IC, Disdain.
Disdain- Can never join a unit of noobs, haters, trolls or lurkers.

Options: Must choose two psychic powers from the list below.
Must choose an Alignment (Chaos, Imperial, Eldar or Ork)
-Can upgrade the Paperback Book to a Hardback Book for +25. This is a Force Weapon which doubles the user's strength.
-Can upgrade the Bolt Pistol to a Plasma Pistol for +15.
-Can purchase extra reading reading material for +20. It allows them to choose and cast another psychic power.
-Can be upgraded to Fluff Master for +50.

Fluff Master-
WS-5, BS-6, S-3, T-3, W-3, I-3, A-3, Ld-10, Sv-5+/3++
Special Rules: Psyker (Mastery Level 3), IC, Disdain.
Has all the same equipment and options, but must choose three powers instead of two.

Dakka Psychic Powers:
-Theory Spam: [The psyker theorises on the contents of the next codex by reaching into the Warp, spamming theories at a super-human rate. A side effect is that the time warping powers also speed up his allies.]Theory Spam can be cast at the beginning of either player's Assault Phase. The psyker and any unit he is in at the time fight at +1A and +1I for the turn.

-Obscure Reference: [The psyker draws on material long forgotten to all others, confusing his enemies.] Obscure Reference is cast at the beginning of the Dakka player's turn. If the power is cast successfully, one enemy unit visible to the psyker within 24" (including a unit in combat. Allies are invisible for the purposes of this power) fights at initiative 1 for the rest of the turn. If the psyker has Extra Reading Material, the target(s) also lose(es) 1A (to a minimum of 1)

-Retcon: [The psyker uses the dark powers of retcon to not only destroy an enemy, but to prevent it ever existing at all.] Retcon is a psychic shooting attack with the following profile:
S10, AP1, Range: 48", Assault 1, Blast. It cannot be cast against HQ choices, as they have too great a Warp presence (and GW won't let you).

-Scripted Death: [The psyker calls the eventual death of the target to the current battle.] Scripted Death is a psychic shooting attack with the following profile:
S5, AP3, Range: 24", Assault 3. However, against HQ choices, it has the following profile:
S5, AP1, Range: 24", Assault *(equal to target's current number of wounds.)

-Lash of Submission (Chaos only)

-Hammerhand (Imperial only)

-Mind War (Eldar only)

-Waaagh Dakka! (Orks only): All Dakka units, apart from those the psyker feels Disdain for, can either
1) move an extra 6" during the movement phase once only in the battle.
2) fire an extra shot in the shooting phase once only in the battle.
3) become Fearless and gain Furious Charge for the turn.

Kroot can have psychic powers. I wanna say that the Merc Dex made reference to Eldar/Kroot who used psychic powers to appear differently to IG. (That would have to be looked up though, as I really can't remember exactly how it went, I just remember imagining Kroot disguised as big eyed area 51 alien types).

Just saying, if you're gonna do psychic powers from a fluff perspective

p.s. Love the Retcon Power, it really fits quite nicely. Maybe cannot eliminate HQ's, but can alter them (on a random scale: you never know if you're gonna get squatted, uber-draigoed, or just necroned) Thoughts, in my head.

That sounds like it could be pretty good actually. Suggestions for other races are also appreciated, I just wasn't familiar enough to put them in.

Retcon for HQ:
When Retcon is targeted at a HQ choice, instead of taking damage, roll on the following table:
6: No Profit- [The attention of the Dark Powers is called to the fact there is no benefit to them in this character's existence, as they only scrape even with them. The target immediately ceases to ever have existed under their rage.] The target is removed from the game. No wounds are taken, no points are scored, and it cannot be prevented by anything.

5: Sistered: [The Dark Powers see they are making little profit from the character in question, but decided to give them a more fitting punishment than deletion. They remove all that made the character until they exist in name only.] The target looses all special rules apart from IC and fights with the stats and wargear of a troops choice, no upgrades allowed.

4: Avatared- [The Dark Powers toy with the character. They are not destroyed or removed. Instead they are subjected to humiliation after humiliation until no one can take them seriously.] -1 to all stats.

3: Profit! - [The Dark Powers see they are benefiting from the character's existence and decided to leave them as they are.] The target is unaffected.

2: ???- [The Dark Powers see that they are benefiting from the character's existence, but decide to experiment and see if a more powerful version would earn them extra money.] The target gains +1 to all stats, as well as any one special rule from a Special Character in their Codex.

1(can be re-rolled with Plot Armour, but the re-roll is on a D3): Redesign the Character- [The Dark Powers assign a fanboy to rewrite the target.] It fights with the following profile for the remainder of the battle
WS-9, BS-9, S-7, T-7, A-7, I-9, W-7 Ld-10, Sv- 2+/2++
Special Rules: Nothing To Go On, plus whatever they had previously.
Wargear: Sue Sword, Mary Mangler, Fanboy Armour.
The Sue Sword ignores all saves and inflicts Instant Death.
The Mary Mangler is a Pistol with the following profile:
S10,AP1, Range 24", Assault 3

Nothing To Go On: The character no longer matches any fluff it previously had, and its enemies cannot acquire the new fluff fast enough to make a new strategy to fight it. The character cannot be shot, assaulted or targeted by psychic powers in the turn that it was Retconned. However, this rule is negated if the Dakka player passes a leadership test with a Rumour Monger unit.

In reference to species- I imagined that any squad will be a random mix of races who were thrown together into squads as the battlehost rapidly accumulated.

About "Redesign the character"- excellent, but how about that all enemy units gain preffered enemy towards the character and that every turn you roll 2D6- on a double one, the character succumbs to infinite hatred and is removed as a casualty? Otherwise the risk would be so great that nobody would take Retcon.

Vampirate- Upgrade to unit of Converters or Fluffists (Added to unit, rather than replacing model)
Points: 30? WS: 3 BS: 2 S: 2 T: 3 W: 2 I: 3 A: 1(2) LD: 5 SV: 5+

Wargear: Flak armour; Laspistol; Servo-Frying Pan

Servo-Frying Pan: This is a Servo-Arm stripped from the back of the Tech-Priest that tried to kill Vampirate for tech-heresy, stripped down and with a frying pan attached to one end. It grants Vampirate a single extra attack (shown in profile) at strength 5 and initiative 2. However, if the unit he is in is charged by an enemy unit, the Servo-Frying Pan's attack is made before any others are- if this causes a wound, saved or unsaved, the enemy unit receives no bonuses for charging. (BONK.)

Special Rules: “Hey, how about…”; Vampiric

“Hey, how about…”: Vampirate has a suggestion for any situation, and these can be helpful or… not. At the beginning of each friendly turn, roll a D6 on the following chart; the result affects any units, friendly or enemy, within 9”. None of these results affect Vampirate himself, except for “skyward catapult”.
1: Ineffective- The suggestion doesn’t do anything, or is ignored or not heard. No effect.
2: Electric weapons- The unit’s close combat weapons are empowered. All normal close combat weapons in the unit become power weapons, all PWs become Power Fists, and all PFs become Thunder Hammers.
3: Inferno generator- The unit’s weapons are combined into an enormous flamethrower. The unit can forego their shooting phase in order to fire a Flamestorm cannon. They may not assault afterwards, even if they have Relentless.
4: Skyward catapult- The device has sufficient power to launch the unit high into the air, hopefully allowing them to come down in a more strategically viable position next turn. The unit is removed from the table, effectively being placed in reserve; the next turn, the controlling player can place them via deep strike. Note that if “Catastrophic accident” is rolled on the DS mishap table, count it as being misplaced.
5: ??? (will add later)
6: Catastrophic- The idea fails spectacularly, immolating the users, electrocuting them, or turning the heads of the squad members to chunky salsa (or some other suitably dramatic event). The unit takes D3 wounds, with no armour saves allowed.

Vampiric: If Vampirate is reduced to a single wound, he will regain his second one if he inflicts an unsaved wound in close combat. This cannot be made against Necrons, and cannot be made with the Servo-Frying Pan.

Its a gambler's power, and I like it. Really captures the essence of waiting on a new codex and what can happen with all the characters.

Yeah, I dont know what exactly the Kroot psyguys did 'cept look like aliens, just I'm a Tau Sympathizer, and the Tau don't have the psychic types to make an attack based off of.

Yeah, that would be a problem... Possible additions:

1: Redesign the Character can only occur once per battle. If you get it twice, treat the result as ??? instead.
2: Whenever the target inflicts casualties, whether in combat of shooting, the controlling player must roll a D6. On a 1, the character is removed from the battle as GW sees the error of their ways.
3: If you get a Redesign the Character result on a target which has already had this occur, they explode due to awesomeness overload. Apply result 6, with a large blast template centred on where the target was. All models under this take a S10 AP1 hit.


I like the Vampirates.

Awesome Survivor:
All models surviving an awesome overload explosion are imbued with residue of the awesome explosion and gain +1 to all stats, and the "Nothing To Go On" USR.

Thoughts?

Would be interesting, but then they'd need an Awesomeness Radiation rule which causes a S3 AP- hit to every model within 2" until they're left as an IC. Just 'cause.

Agreed. It also stacks, so on the off chance you get a survivor of 2 awesome explosions, he gets +2 to all stats (for a plus 3 total (10 max)), and starts hitting every model within 3" with a S6 AP-. Cause being awesome enough to survive that sorta thing twice is awesome.

But should the awesome radiation stack for every model or hit separately? Clearly, models which survived the original explosion would be immune, but...

Also, a second awesome explosion would be impossible except in games with more than two players unless you retconned your own characters.

Stack, being surrounded by irradiation has to be worse for you than just being around one source.

Unless your opponent is also running a Fluff Lord and another Hq, and the Fluffs blow up the other Hq's and Franz (He's a DKoK hero (please be quiet around him, he's quite jumpy)), just happens to be hanging out in the area. Boom, and Boom, Franz does what he does best, and Vio-la: Super Awesome Franz (now with seizure medication!)
