I wanted Sisters of Battle. - But all I got was toilet paper

Although, at least they're trying. - The trouble is, with so many mad people blind to the fact that equality is achieved, there's a lot of things GW has to pussyfoot around so's not to offend anyone. - Even if that is not the primary matter, or even if that example is void, I still thing sisters of battle are endangered.

But I'm chilled. I'm cool about it. - I'm making my own S.O.B army (lol... "Sob".) but it's going to be a sisters of Slaanesh army. So I fear not, one glance at my daemon princess is going to make the critiques' heads explode. That's have it all done and dusted.

- Doc.

PS: - My best opponent is an Eldar player. I'd like to see an upgrade for their codex, 'coz right now I'm wasting them with my chaos marines, and it's just not fair.

Codex: All Chapters Here.
That codex I'd like to see. Aside from the headache that is GK, they're more or less the same but with different chapter tactics and differently themed names.

And seriously, they need to kill off some of the marine diversity since it's being done at the expense of all other armies, leaving a mediocre playing field when it comes to codex diversity in general.

Wait, what?! - Sorry about my previous comment!! - You said what CHAPTER codex would one like to see!!

EErr. - To that, I'd say sod off. You have enough

Take care,

- Doc.

Huron Blackheart has always been one of my favorite Chaos Space Marine characters, and I liked the original idea behind the army, of Marines from many different Chapters unified only by the red stains used to hide their old symbols of heraldry. I'm having trouble coming up with specific rules that I'd like to see for them at this particular moment, but I'll revisit the idea later and get back to you.

I agree with you. The Red Corsairs are amazing awesome and they deserve their own book.

It's so sad to see what is supposed to be the flagship marine chapter so tragically underrepresented in both fluff and on the tabletop...

Couldn't agree more.

All we need is someone who can write coherent and well thought out fluff whilst also knowing how the game works and so is able to write fluent, fair and balanced rules.

I can't tell if there's a crazy amount of trolling going on here or...?

1 there are enough Space marine codicies this is true.

but if they were dead set on making a new chapter codex i think Iron hands would be best

think baout it though wouldn't this make more sense
4 marine codic covering

IImperial fists ultramarines-salamanders-Iron hands-vanilla adherent
Wolves and Templars-cc abnormal orginaztion
Dark angels-white scars-bike lists and da term list
Blood anels raven guard - jumper heavy assault marines

each book has list with certain cahpter specific units and traits.
i.e wolves get wolf stuff . templar get sword bretheren

I'd support this. Really only GK warrant their own codex from a fluff/gameplay perspective. Really I think GW should just make a massive codex (far larger then a standard army book) that covers different rules, abilities, possibilities, models, etc. with various different Chapters and call it a day. Already the 5e SM Codex is significantly larger then most.

Prediction:

Answer; "The chapter that I play".

Suggestion; "Make them a lot better".

Reason; "Because they are really good".

Hands down salamanders

THE HELL?!

Sometimes, I think that you joined this forum to troll, Zweischneid.

Anyways, I would love a Pre-Heresy Codex. Then again, I'll probably have to make my own fandex.

Also Kaldor, shut up about my precious DA. I love 'em, and they're almost definitely getting a new 6th ed codex.

KplKeegan wrote:Blood Ravens

I find it odd that a video game producer chooses a Space Marine Chapter so outlandish and mysterious and there is barely a mention of them in the tabletop.

I would say this as well. I was actually really mystified to find out that the Blood Ravens didn't have their own book (this was basically before I ever really got into 40k).

It makes a great deal of sense that they are not part of general fluff, seeing as:
They were created by relic
Have multiple differing storylines
In main line fluff they would have been destroyed along time ago
Anything written by GW about them would limit what relic could do in future games

As to the OP, until GW can give actual support to all its current armies, creating a new codex would be a very bad idea, a far better idea would having a reintraductionof index astartes articles to WD, this would a make WD more sellable to vets and would allow for new chapter specific units/characters to be added easily to the game.

Another good idea would be rules for creating tau allie units, have simple frameworks for troops/elites/fast attack then you custamize the race with weapons and racial abilities, such as reptile skin for 3pts per model giving them an increased armour rating, etc.
