Until a real artist gets behind my dream of this being an official GW/WH40k codex. Welcome to the best I can do.
The basics are there. Modeling for proxy isn't that hard, if you have a Vendetta, take off the wings, (don't break it because a Vendetta is better.) and there's a proxy, right size too. A little bigger, and a little higher off the ground though. If you can find a way to lower it that would work out.

or the body of a Storm Raven fits pretty good. A Trukk with it's wheels turned upside down a 'ard case, two wing flaps, a shark fin and a medium sized flying base about a third of the heigh offf the ground as a Vendetta, a 'ard top (which it's not suppose to have...) and a closed in cockpit, switch the riders head for a fantasy dwarf and your good to go. That's how I plan on poxying if it helps. (A little annoying to build by the sound but really not that hard.)

It's great...right. Anyways. Aside from my like of artistic talent or ability to find a working scanner in China, the bikes are easy proxies. Switch fantasy dwarves onto the Space marine bikes. File down the edges and the handlebars. File down the wheels enough to make it a hair smaller, and you are all finished. Give the fantasy dwarf some space marine arms since they came with the bikes,a nd boom there you go. (Axe's are best proxied burrowng from orks or just using the actual fantasy ones.)

“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.”

Updated the wargear list after some playtesting and made a slight change to the infiltrators. Let me know if anything seems off to you with the list that should be changed for playtesting. Editing is coming slowly as far as spelling and what needs to be re-worded and all that.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Man those drawings are horrible I probably shouldn't of posted them...anyways, Infiltrators are now officially, Children of Lekros, and I went to work on editing the fluff and renaming the Energon stuff to Serizian and so on. Thank you readers and please, to the few of few, more criticism so I can continue to structure this codex aproprietly and hopefully get other people to support it as I work my way towards proxying and modeling actual guys for it. Them pitching it to see if I can use it in official 40k games. Yeah.

Made WARRIORS OF THE TROOR an actual upgrade for them coming to a total of 75pnts a pop if they choose it...maybe too expensive? I'm feeling more confident about the way I'm distributing points around now that I have a codex copy to read and had a playtest with them. Feedback...advent readers...?

HUGE EDITS and Serizian has been fully integrated Energon is no more. Dragon fluff posted with it several explanations on equipment for the Dwellar. Thank you readers, playtesting is going well and hella useful. Currently using fantasy dwarf models for play testing and orks as the Raiders and other two wound models. (Except HQ's of course) still use dwarfs for them. Peace.

Oh man, editing is annoying. I forgot to get rid of the n on an Serizian weapon, becuase it used to be an Energon but is no longer with an e. Ah ha ha, not funny.
Finnaly went through and corrected some grammatical erros, but must of missed alot because I got tired of correcting. I think the Massacre story is a good read. I fixed up some of the fluff to flow better and Filtered off Guardian armor.
Now the only units with Guardian armor on the PC's is the HQ choices of the General and Forling, and the Boom Squad. The Boom Squad have it due to fluff, I enjoy their story so I'll be spending a little more time one what parts of it I'll post. Will try hard to get ths into an adobe format PDF and clean up the order of it all.
It's annoying putting so much work into something GW probably hasn't even glanced at, but, hope is a powerful thing.
I have all the respect in the world for fellow writers, but my fingers are crossed and my playtesting continues, so far this list is balanced, just need to do some tests with the vehicles to make sure, would love to post up the Guardian choices that compliment the very large array of uniqueness this army can bring tot he 40k verse.
Here's to the Dwellar becoming a future threat as the new 40k Dwarfs.
Anyone who reads errors feel free to point them out, all help and ideas appreciated.

HUGE NEWS FOR ME AND my lack of modeling, someone said Mantic games is releasing a SPACE DWARVES line!!! HA HA HA! WIN!!!
REasONs
1. probably because squats are getting brought back and Dwellar are very officially out of the picture (The possible scenario)
2. Because some random reader of this lengthy post was a worker there or at GW and loves the idea and the DWELLAR are inspiring models (Extremely unlikely back of mind pipe dream)
3. Because people want to see dwarves in space like myself and no codex is or has been made for them that GW likes, because they haven't read mine. (That's the one I believe.)

In any case, It's an awesome thing for people who wanted to buy models to play this codex without hacking up fantasy dwarves like myself. The very few of you. If any.

Quick question, should Dragons have Grind boots as Wargear because it's in their fluff?? I left it out because Grinders are my base Grind Boot unit.

Got a vacation, so real editing has begun, got everything in word, won't make an offical adobe sheet until I'm completely happy with the balance of the rules.
But, for anyone that wants a copy, after playtesting the mech portion of this army, it looks like a matter of one month or so and the finalized version of this part of the Dwellar Codex will be finished. I will add some pictures, hopefully I can find someone else to sketch them, if not, please don't be turned away by my subpar ability to draw.
Modeling won't happen for another few months. Sorry, too busy to do that until after September. But your free to model, ha ha, ha...yeah...

Tresspasers now 55 pnts, no gun upgrades, some rules, fluff for Clans of the PC are underway and the meq part of the army had some succesful runs, mostly with crew getting eliminated, despite my hpe it would be workable, it isn't, too OP, and the crew on the Tresspasers will be changed for an Apocalypse only model squad I'll post much much in the future after the PC and Guardians have been finished. Other than that Codex is coming along nice, slower than hoped but nicely. Crusher Tank at 130pnts is balanced, Melta rule on direct hit for Destroyer weapon is stupid because it's ordinance. Warbounds Are awesome might make them cost 100nts base instead of 75. That's about all. Bullor made it through play test feeling worth the points set on him, only one I'm worried about big time is Gorth, Partos hei, he is still looking like one bad a$$ mofo and we'll see if his two wounds has any effect on his amazing defenses or ridiculous rulings. *Crossing Fingers and continuing the plast of the playtesting.*
-So this is updated for people to check out.

So I update, only because I forgot to. I am coming along good with the codex, just finishing up the style and turns ou I actually don't have or know how to make a adobe file because I'm useless outside of writing, but, I'm learning and any hints appreciated. All in all, 3/4's of the way done I'd say, just want to add some short stories to fluff up the beginning and give more history and background to the people and all that. Through new fluff got some cool new units, dulled some down, Dwellar have really come together during this codex I'm quite happy with it. My favorite new addition is the HQ choice Asar, or axe lord. An HQ with Rage even. Also the Massacre has been wiped from the final codex, it will be apocalypse battles only, unless house rules allow otherwise.
Also;
I've been taking anger mangement via online counciling, and the lodaing times are pissing me off.

Please don't make them Squat survivors. You have great rules, but make sure that they are something different than just 'return of the squats with a new name.' try to make sure that they at least look different from dwarves and squats, or have slightly different culture.

I think you will be happy sir, I also don't like that 'squats return' idea. Nope, the Squats have a place in the codex, they are the 'fodder'.
That should give you an idea of where they stand.
The culture of the Dwellars, well, it's one swirling mess and best left for the codex to describe. Different clans evolved from the fallout of thier 'Gods' deaths and the remaining 'Gods' that started these clans had only war and revenge in mind. There ends up being a varied culture between clans with a few significant joining traits. This is what allowed me to make so many unique units and rules for them. It's coming out better now that I am sitting down and seriously writing history for these people instead of just sorting out the mess that is in my head onto a Dakka forum, which is what I usually do.

erba....convulxed.
Some units were downgraded others had improvements.
Plenty of playtesting in.
New unit names in the codex are...
Asar HQ choice
Serizian Shaman, HQ choice and psyker
Milluz Mechanic IC choice taken with any tanks as an upgrade. Doesn't fill up a force organization slot.
Some guns suffered downgrades, others got upgrades. A few.
New weapons added.
Now writing the fluff for the SC and finishing up some short stories in the beginning of the codex to detail history, doing a little research of the world for them.
Sorry for the loooooooong delay of a real codex. Promise not to dissapoint, other than lack of pictures. Thanks to those who've offered to help do drawings if they like the dex.

I took a very long hiatus... *thanks Anvildude*
Anyways, it was for personal life stuff, which is unfinished, so, this will be on the back burner until 2012. I will try to post another finished part of the dex after the Groz for people to play with if they want. Hopefully I'll just push the fluff out for the stories on some weird writing bug that makes me knock out Dwellar knowledge into the codex, but right now got acting, training, and finishing my novel convulting up my time, sorry if anyone wanted more of the finalized units and points. PM me or E-mail me if you want anything to help play the list. Thanks for reading.

I fixed up the wargear with the current final writing. The Guardian Rifle isn't in the codex but I left some hints of the Guardian Codex in here which I won't write unless this codex does well once I have it finished AND posted...2012, Runnas year to not Procrastinate.
A.K.A. The hint to the Serizian Dragon Heavy/Elite Choice for the Guardians, The Stone Breakers, The Engineer Class, The Berserkers, and the Rifle and other Descendants that aren't in this Codex.
I also just finished writing some Fluff about Gorth; Descendant of Parthos, and I decided he might be my favorite character to write about. Anyways, thanks to any and all readers, and extreme thanks to anyone that has talked their friends in to letting them playtest my Dwellar as a legitimate 40k contender.

CODEX IS UP, without art and some stories unfinished but I'd rather get what I have up there in hopes more people use it and find that it's a workable balance codex, and if I somehow managed to muck up, give me your honest feedback and I'll be able to work on that area more.

“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.”

A big mistake in the codex I found when reading over it, sorry for my horrible math at the time, its one of the few subjects I always aced to. Ok, the only one. Anyways, replace the part of the Boomers with this, as oppose to what it said previously.

One model for every 2 taking a Boomer, who does not have a Boomer; may exchange their Boom Gun for one of the following
Tek’s Destroyer… +10pnts
Shoulder Cannon… +10pnts
*This means 8 Boom Squad members will have 2 Boomers and only one additional weapon as only 2 models are taking Boomers. Ten will have 4 Boomers and 6 not taking Boomers, thus two may upgrade.


Also, Children of Lekros are 25pnts not 35pnts and the upgrade to Warriors of the Troor costs 75pnts not 65pnts.
Thus five Warriors of The Troor W/Umar should cost 700pnts. Thought the troop is a bit OP you can only take one and most will not want to waste 700pnts on one unit that will probably become the target of your enemies big guns.
Anybody want to pass some feedback my way, criticism is appreciated for the betterment of the final product, though this is generally the final product, as GW is not making a Dwellar army and haven't or probably won't contact me anytime soon about making one, this project is always open for editing.
If any rules seem unclear, OP, or don't work for one reason or another, let me know and I'll fix them, explain why or something along the lines. Thanks for your time Dakka, and my thus far one downloader. heh.

A list I believe may be very competitive as a meq list for the Dwellar and show why Bullor is worth 240pnts even though he can go Berserk or fail his test and kill a bunch of your own units. (It's also decently fluffy in regards to story so, I am quite happy with the dex being able to make workable lists around fluff.)

HQ
x1 Bullor w/Sight Lock
245pnts

Troops
x3 15 Fodder in a Malacite w/ TL Teks Destroyer and Markings of Krakul
170pnts each (510pnts)

Fast Attack
x2 12 Jumpers w/Krakuls Banner, 1 Fire Spitter, 4 Shrappers, 5 Nasty Repeaters, 1 Serizian Axe in a Malacite w/ Markings of Krakul and TL Teks Destroyer
405pnts each (810pnts)

Heavy Support
x3 1 Crusher Tank w/Markings of Krakul
145pnts each (435pnts)

total 2000pnts.

I hope this gives people more initiative to download and take a look at the codex etc. etc. comment. If no one comments the thread falls down the line and less people look at it. Not, you know, doing my usual whinning...ok, a little, but, I really did put a lot of work into this and really believe it is a great way to bring Dwarfs not just into 40k, but to make them more than just 'dwarfs' in 40k. Enough of me reaching out for attention. Enjoy the codex new readers and thanks to all who have been keeping up with it so far and more so huge thanks to anyone that has gone far enough to playtest and make lists with it.

Thanks for the comment man, appreciate the help.

Looks like I'll need to get a proxy to open the site for some reason, I'll try to find a loophole around it.
Also I noticed while making a list I forgot...ehm...to mark the page number the units description was on for quick reference, it's an easy fix, as it's docx. just, next to the units name, write the page number its on, save, over. Do it whenever your making a list with that unit and you'll save a ton of time. I won't upload a new copy until I have some art, and have one of those stories finished.
If enough people ask, and want to try and field them, I may write up and post the TWO choices from the Guardian codex on here should you want to run them in a game.
Those being, Serizian Dragons (Elite/Heavy)
and
Stone Breakers (Heavy but count as troops with Gorth.)
Ten requests for either and I'll post that one.



Automatically Appended Next Post:
Also, as Eldar have Guardians, I am thinking about renaming, which would require a lot of editing, the Entire Guardian Class -Thanes-
It's a shoutout to old school dwarfs and it gets rid of the confusion. I was going to keep the Dragons names Ogrim originally because Eldar had Fire Dragons, but I found I like that there were similar ideas but very different troops between the futuristic elfs and dwarfs.
However naming an entire codex DWELLAR: Guardian
seems like I'm just being lazy here.
Any suggestions on this, change it to Thanes? Yes, no?
Protectors, Defenders, Watch Guards? Any ideas?
