Great job.

It's just a shame GW only half 3.5ed the range or this edition would be great.

I always hated putting down an 80pt avatar against a 200 pt bloodthirster in that edition.

I mourned for the 2nd ed days when they were both the same price and had massive mid field smack downs...

This is amazing. I'm not doing my work and remembering the awesomeness that was my undefeated Armoured Company.

I'm not a fan of that edition, but I fully appreciate the effort. Good job!

Want a better way to do fantasy/historical miniatures battles?  Try Conqueror: Fields of Victory.

Do you like Star Wars but find the prequels and sequels disappointing?  Man of Destiny is the book series for you.

I have started added units/materials from citadel journal to the battle bible, I think it will be a long time before I post another update for it though, I plan on adding citadel journal and then imperial armor materials/units.

I have also worked out an early version of a points formula for re-balancing units in 3rd edition. I Plan on posting a sister document I'm calling the 3rd edition battle bible minor unit rebalance. Basically I am keeping unit profiles the same, but re-balancing the points values to hopefully better reflect the performance of units, weapons, and so forth, and adding a few options here and there. Like I see no problem why eldar guardians shouldn't also have access to lasblasters as weapons, to match with 2e eldar guardian models which had lasguns as an option. So I'll be doing some of those things.

In addition to the "minor unit rebalance" I plan on doing a "major faction rebalance" document which brings greater level of additions/changes to units and the actual stat profiles of units in order to bring back some more of the variety that 2e had, and perhaps units/options that were in 4th/5th editions but folded into the 3e framework.
