The title explains the topic , also this can be ANYTHING , does not have to be 40k , me Codex C.I.S or Codex Daleks.

The biggest indicator someone is a loser is them complaining about 3d printers or piracy.

I was thinking of codex Daleks just yesterday

Codex Termight (what?! already done? called it Imperium of Mankind?)

More seriously, a Codex Civilians including gangers, human tribes, spyrers etc... all these possible units you could find in Necromunda as a representation of the independant fighting forces of an imperial hive world.

What harm can it do to find out? It's a question that left bruises down the centuries, even more than "It can't hurt if I only take one" and "It's all right if you only do it standing up." Terry Pratchett, Making Money

"Can a magician kill a man by magic?" Lord Wellington asked Strange. Strange frowned. He seemed to dislike the question. "I suppose a magician might," he admitted, "but a gentleman never could." Susanna Clarke Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell

Codex: Emotions.

Now you really can fight your fear, master your confidence and be overwhelmed by guilt.

Units and armies to represent all the major emotions/emotional groupings.

That's probably the coolest idea in this thread.

Little green nasty creatures in enormous hordes represent Envy.

A large, hulking, slow-moving, blue behemoth that's nigh unkillable will be Sadness.

Fast-moving, hard-hitting red assault troops that come at you from nowhere will be Anger or Wrath.

A fragile, fleeting but very hard to hit IC can be Glee.

And only when used in a cohesive, self-complimenting force can they really be successful.

Nanomachines inside their bodies enhance and regulate their abilities. Genetic control. Information control. Emotion control. Battlefield control. Everything is monitored, and kept under control. Core has changed. The age of deterrence has become the age of control. All in the name of averting catastrophe from weapons of mass destruction. And he who controls the battlefield, controls history. Core has changed. When the battlefield is under total control, war... becomes routine.

Codex Taliban? Basically they all have the same rules as Bomb Squigs? (Strap on bomb, press button, run at target, hope for best!)

Or maybe Codex Barghesi (some species in the BRB described only as 'Hyper Violent') could be interesting.

Or codex Chuck Norris? He is HQ, Troops, Elite, Fast Attack, and Heavy Support. And wins all the time. During deployment. Eat THAT!

One last suggestion: Codex Covenant!
HQ: Brute Bosses, Prophets.
Troops: Grunt squads with brute leaders, and Shield Jackals.
Elites: Brute Squads (with prowlers as dedicated transports!), Jackal Snipers, Ghost Squads.
Fast Attack: Choppers, Prowlers, Jetback Brutes.
Heavy Support: Wraiths, Hunter Squads!

This is Daemonic Cheese:

3000 Pts
2500 Pts
1000 Pts (And growing)
