Ok. I have this great idea for an army that would be a product of an army that exists. However, the changes in the army would require a totally new codex to really be substantial. I was wondering if this was extremely faux pa or if it would be encouraged. Of course I would not try to play my codex in tournament or something ridiculous. It would be more of a gamer club thing. Also, I would make sure to make it fair and not a God mode cheat. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

It's not a faux pas of any sort but you're rarely if ever going to be able to just play a pick up game with it because your oppenent is going to want to read it through first before giving the okay.

Yeah I understand that. The way it will be done it can still be played as its standard army for tourney or whatever. I have six people that I play with regularly and they are all willing to play it.

Then you're good. Games-Workshop deems its products to be a sort of "beer-and-pretzels" kind of hobby. Don't take it too seriously. If your friends are cool, then playtest that sucker and post it here!

Cool. I'm going to start working on it right away and will be sure to post any thing I get worked out.

What army would it be a product of?

I am kicking around the idea of writing my own SM Chapter codex


Cool idea, great minds think alike
