How about Elites then, TAX COLLECTORS! You could call them TITHE men or something, they will depress you with numbers and make you kill yourself.

EDIT their War cry would be "Death & Taxes"

good idea!

Hmmm mabye they could get more powerfull if your opponent didn't spend the full allowance of points they had (Ie 1499 or 1497pts for a 1500pt game)

Accountant 15pts (?)
WS:2 BS:2 S:2 T:2 W:1 I:1 A:1 Ld:10 Sv:-
Unit type: infantry

Poor Book Keeping: For every point below the maximum an opponent takes during a game with an accountant, The accountant may boost his stats by one for each point.

Pyramid Scheme: An accountant may double the amount of points he is allowed to use for stat increase; however, every turn he must roll a d6. On a 1 his ploy is discovered and he is removed as a casualty.

Hmm, this probably needs to be ironed out a bit more.

Secratary of Subhuman Resources (35 pts each)
WS:2 BS:2 S:2 T:2 W:1 I:1 A:1 Ld:6 Sv:-
Elite
1-5 members in a squad.

Abilities: Official Budget, Under the table

Official Budget(possible arbites general rule): When you begin a game, a maximum of one quarter of your points can be placed in the "budget". Units can spend up to half of the budget in any one turn. If the budget has points remaining in it at the end of the game, they are lost.

Under the table: The Secretary of Subhuman resources can use their contacts to hire alien mercenaries and strikes, spending points from the Official Budget. This ability is used instead of shooting and the units or strikes are summoned and deployed from the Arbites' table edge on a 4+.

Hire-able Mercenaries: see codex for prices
Ogryn Squad
Ratling Squad
Kroot
Flash Gits


Strikes

Demiurg Orbital bombardment
Large blast, AP 3, S9, BS4

Long range sniper shot
S10, AP1, does not roll to hit

Hmmmmm very Dogs of warish, this my friends, Is turning into a near battle ready force that foucuses on weak shiney troops beating stronger foes through use of support elements. Any idea for special characters to really fluff up the list?

I had forgotten I started this thread!

Alright, great suggestions everyone!

I'll start work on drawing up a rough codex.

Administrator Grade 34: Hermines Konradicus

Special rules:

Independent character

Flexibility - Due to amazing flexibility, he has 5+ invul save if he has moved this turn

Mass sort and file - Immediately remove "red tape" for this player turn. This ability lasts until the end of current player's turn

Welcome to stampy town - impose "Red tape" - all units friendly and enemy that wishes to shoot or assault must first pass an initiative test. Units that fail are bogged down by paperwork to request more bullets or gasoline for their chainsaws. Units that are already locked in CC are unaffected as they are too busy to pay attention. This is a one time use ability and lasts for 1 full turn. If you activated it during your movement phase, it will last until the start of your next movement phase. If you activated it on your enemy's turn, it will last until the next same phase for that player affecting all turns until that player's turn comes around again.

Wargear -
Machine stapler - allows 1d6 attacks to be made in the shooting phase. On a roll of 6, you have run out of staples and only get 1 attack by throwing your stapler at the enemy. Weapon profile Str 2, range 12', AP -, Assault 1d6
Limbo T-shirt, grants 6+ armor save
Stampy - counts as a power weapon in close combat.

wait, so he has a one-time ability that affects everyone and then he has another ability that makes it only affect enemies???

Its in the same vein as necron's solar pulse

also in case of a mirror battle, he can undo the other side's red tape too!
