Codex: TFG

Core choices consist of Whiners and Smellies, Elite is made up of Tantrums, fast attack is Ragequitters, and Heavy Support is Siren, with the ability to summon Greater Rule Lawyer (TO) whenever the controlling player wishes.

Also, highlight of the book is the new ability "And They Shall Know No Maturity"

I like this idea because it isn't just someone trying to jam one of their preferred IPs into the 40k universe.

It's not, but the SM are immune to disease anyways. It was just a fun idea xD

Hm... Maybe instead it could be Codex: Parasite...

How about codex: Space Marines. They used to be their own army, but now everyone is forced to use space wolves, blood angels, or grey knights.

They're still their own army. No one is forced to play SW, BA, or GK. They play them because they're very powerful codexes as opposed to the vanilla dex.

Codex; Ewoks.

Similar to the green tide though it is a furry tide.
they have no technology only sticks and stones, but some how manage to loot walkers and speed bikes and can use them straight away.
IC would be a gold painted Tau ( or any gold painted robot looking thing).

special rules, always win against storm troopers squads even though they are pitiful, weak and fury.

And rule "dey took r' jobs!" which sparks a chorus of "dey took r' jobs!" and counts as a waaaagh.

Codex Terran
ex: -Marine BS10 (they always hit..) WS10 (they shoot their guns in melee!) S4 T4 W2 Ld 10 (they obey the mighty mouse!) Sv 5+ 6+invulnerable (with power armor and a shield, but still weak as ants)

wargear: Gauss Rifle (S7 AP1 (it goes through tank armor!) Heavy 3 (they have to be still)), Power Armor, Combat Shield, Stim Packs (adds one wound, but gives 6" more movement and adds 3 attacks to weapon and assaults) Fearless, Hit and Run, Swarm

-Siege Tank F11 S11 R11 (they are destroyed like paper!) BS10

wargear: Battlecannon (S1 useless thing), Siege Cannon (S10 AP1 Large Blast, Ordnance 1, remain still to fire)

Codex: PDF

Like the Imperial Guard, but with almost no veterans, less tanks, and even wimpier basic soldiers. This would be an extreme hoard army.

Codex: Kroot

Kroot have a big enough fandom and enough background fluff to get a fluff codex now, rather than the outdated White Dwarf one.

codex: swimsuit issue?

Every Dakkanaught gets a 4+ Pinch of Salt save.
When you suffer a Falling Sky hit, roll a D6 - on a 4+ the hit is ignored as per the Pinch of Salt save. On a 1-3 panic insues - you automatically fail common sense tests for the next 2 weeks and get +7 to your negativity stat. -Praxiss

Sorry, not gonna back down. The Deathwatch core rulebook describes Power Armour as being hermetically sealed until you suffer damage. You can then use repair cement to make the armour airtight again.

English Assassin wrote:Codex Daleks and Codex: Blake's 7, for starters.

More sensibly, I'd be very pleased by a Codex: Xenos (or Codex: Minor Factions, or whatever) with rules to represent units of Barghesi, Hrud, Astral Parasites,etc, etc, and include them in major factions' armies as mercenaries/temporary allies/hidden alien overlords.


Jollydevil wrote:Definitely codex daleks.



Go daleks, go daleks.

After seven weeks of slaughtering necrons the space marine of the mighty grey knights turns round, he is faced by a rather large pepper pot, the last thing he hears is "EXTERMINATE!!!!".

That makes my day....
