Codex: really mean Guardsmen with deformed humans being led by not-so-nice Marines.

Comparing tournament records is another form of e-peen measuring.

Codex- Star Wars- Ehhh George Lucas really enjoys the cash this would bring in.
Oh but what I would give to be able to play Star Wars 40k style, sigh...
Plus that would totally drive up their sales! I mean who doesn't want to replicate the clone wars!!!

Hmmm... the Clone Wars. The Clone Wars. Was that that one where the guy from fantasy island was fighting with William Shatner, and then William Shatner yelled "Kahn!" really loud over and over again? That would make a good game.

Codex:Null.
64 pages of blank awesomeness. Not even GW could f*** that up.
Who am I kidding? Of course they could. They couldn't (as my outback relatives would say) grow a choko (possibly perhaps called an "alligator pear" in some places. Really bland vegetable shaped like a wrinkly pear) vine over an outhouse (or thereabouts. Loses something in translation).
As for Pan-Fo. Now there is an internet and gaming meme that really has to die.
Just like Hello Kitty. Not hello kitty spase marienz (Hurr!), just the whole HK franchise. Dead. Kill it with fire.

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.
That is not dead which can eternal lie ...
... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.

Yeah. It is the suck.
No, it's not the midget who shouts "da plain, da plain"...
Oh, you meant the Eugenics Wars? Totally different.
Well, it did make the only good Star Trek movie.

Oh, I don't know. I kinda liked that one where Harrison Ford's spaceship (the Enterprise?) got eaten by that giant space worm hand puppet and him and that hairy guy (Worf [sp?]) had to get out of the ship, INSIDE the space worm, and shoot at bats. It was like something from a Hunter Thompson book.

Pariah Press, you just lost all of your nerd credibility. Go and read 10 Black Library books as a penance.
Even I know that Worf is the Klingon crewmember out of Star Trek The Next Generation.
However I second your support for The Empire Strikes Back as the best Star Wars movie.

Codex decepticons? No, GW would NEVER do that, that's a pure silly suggestion. We all know it would be called Codex  ark Autobots with spikey bits!

I'm not sure how THAT'S going to help.
Even I know that Worf is the Klingon crewmember out of Star Trek The Next Generation.
So, that was the one played by Edward James Olmos, right? No, wait, that doesn't sound quite right. Is Captain Picard the one with the eye patch, or the one with two eyes?

Codex: Culture. True, they'd curbstomp everyone (well, I say they, but I mean one GSV would), but it'd still be fun.
Codex: Null. They'd still need an Errata Sheet.
Codex: Space Ninjas.
Codex: Ewoks
Codex: All Eldar in One: Then Dark Eldar get stuff more often as part of a bigger package.

[rant]I voted 64 pages of nothing because Dark Eldar should be expunged from the 40K universe. They're better off as a race that only gets hinted at briefly in the fluff once in a great while. Their mini's are chintzy at best and their origins made vague because they have no rightful place.[/rant]
We'll see if the new mini line and codex change my mind, but I hightly doubt it will.
