The warpstorms overhead Davizx sizzled as Warboss Hazkar gazed out among his small troop of followers. they couldn't return his gaze.
"wheres Lit' Dakka" The warboss howled, his eyes glowing red in the fury of the warpstorm.
"uh, boss, da squigy ran off..." the ork couldn't finish his words before Hazkar's axe sliced him in two.
"I want da lit' beastie found!"
The orks nodded and quickly got ready to find their leader's best pet squid. In the distance a shadow moved, bloated and twisted from the energies of the warpstorm. Its fang encrusted mouth grinned as it watched its once masters fumble around looking for what once had been a cute little monster. All would soon be his!


so my idea is to make an army of squids under the ork codex, but smart squids, or well somewhat smart squids, this is an idea i've thought about for some time and will prob get pushed back on my long to do list, but i wanted to see what anyone else had to say about it in terms of fluff. i was thinking a warp storm would claim a planet and one of the squids, Lit' Dakka in this case, would become twisted and granted with "highe' smartness" and maybe even psychic powers!

anyone think this wouldnt work, or is too comical?

I suppose if the fluff fits, it's no use than a player using his old Squat army with the IG codex. If you go ahead and do it, promise me you'll make a gigantic squig like, 4 times taller than a Space Marine, with maw open. Run it as a Deff Dread. I would lol heartily.

It's the warp, stuff happens. I can see this being possible and I don't think its overly comical. That would probably be something absurd like female marines or something.

haha word i was thinking how cool it would be to hve giant squid like creatures and use it as a tyranid or ork army.

the squat example is good.

This should so be done to the nids codex, you could make a squigofex!
