Look at what they can take as a banner, and you will see the joke.

C.S. Goto multilasers.. I see..


..needs 100% more razorback riding.

Still, they should be at least 50-60 points each.

No FA is not complete but I'm getting there. I just moved house so I'm a bit busy but I'm trying my best.

They are in Terminator armour and have a backflip rule somewhere that grants a 12" move.

My comment was more along the lines of What the...

Back flipping in terminator armor...

So is this project still going?
Its been quiet for a while.

I would think "angry" would fit more than "lovely". I should go write my own entry out of lulziness.

But then again, I find the idea of people considering me "lovely" (as in looks) to be odd considering that very few people on this forum have seen my visage to begin with.

Still lives, working on the last parts for my sections; if people want to move on then go for it.

Just a simple question, do I still make the cut in Elite?

You'll be in my earlier post about units under my review if you made it. Fairly sure you did.

Hey dudes, been on holidays so have not had a chance. I also discovered MINECRAFT! So have been distracted. Will get back to work.

ahhh.

Just checking in? I finished my Dwellar codex more or less, finished my book, finished shooting, had my drink to much bai jiou Chinese New Year celebration (which lasted a week, lots and lots of liquor. Friend got marrie.) So, if anyone want any help or anything working on this, I've got some time cleared up for a few days. Other than that, just wondering, how is it coming along so far? Oh and hope you had a Happy Chinese New Year, if you celebrate it.

Someone came up with some bits, (can't remember who, sorry!) That I thoguht you might want to chew over while I finish up here.


"Also, if you take Alpharius in your army, then every unit must be modelled to look like Alpharius (although following WYSIWYG)."

“I came up with an equipment idea...maybe it’s stupid but I'd thought I'd toss it into the frying pan.
NB armor +5 sv NB=Needs Better
PB armor +4 sv PB= Probably Better
DG armor +3 sv TD= Damn Good
MPHTG armor +2 sv MPHTG= Making People Hate Their Guns
For our own bit of armor types. More serious names or more comical ones may be sought, but I thought I'd try and contribute with more than a personal nod to my namesake.
Maybe giving troop choices the option to take the basic guns of any of the current codexes main troops.
I.E
Choppa and Slugga
Bolt Pistol and CCW
Las Pistol and CCW
etc etc. (Fire Warriors, Guardians, Warriors,)
For no extra cost. Then giving them upgrades that are specifically Dakka Dakka originals.
Also, some original equpiment could be named after posters as a way to encorporate more people in to the play codex without getting to many unique/independant characters in. (Of course just in fluff too.)
You could issue a challenge to another site that posts about 40k for their members to make a codex up that is generally, fairly playable, and maybe a person from each site could sit down and play eachother after rules and stuff were agreed upon and the point costs and everything were thought to be fair. Maybe even a couple of sites and have a small tournie..”

I like this as an idea.

Did you put me in on the Fluff, cause I'd like to read it.

Ok, got these to do, then HQ and Elites are done:

upgrade of veteran gamer: Kanluwen + 95 pts
- veteran painter 17 pts
Dakkanought: 120 points
- trollbaiter 175 pts
- Annoying Forum Troller 10 pts


I'll sort this lot out later.

Dreadlord, Talk to Vampirate about fluff. I would think that most fluff posted will be added, and more.

I am in Angry Marines. I have written my entry and posted it already, if you didn't already read it.

Another basic weapon upgrade from a codeices main troop was...
Draw Pistol and Steel Ax for free
or
Fodder Rifle for free
As that particualr upgrade may not be mentioned as well known...I thought I'd throw it in there too. Seeing the open chance and I aparently failed my leadership test.

The Crassus is taken as is from Forgeworld. So I guess a page on FW's site.

The PDF is done by....Liquidjoshi IIRC.

Entrys may still need feedback, so feel free to comment.
What I think we have:

- HQ
- Elite
- ( fast assault incomplete? )
- Troops
- Heavy support ( only 1 unit incomplete yet )
- everything outside the FoC like rules, dedicated transports etc

May post a new overview in a few hours.

This thread may need a v 1.1 to shorten it a bit. It seems we don't get a first page update.....

I'm compiling this into a Word Document, but as I said earlier, don't have the facilities to make a PDF document.

Here we go: update time!

unsure

- Egocentric forumite
- OT forum poster ( suggestions where to place them in the FOC ? )
- vampirate of sartosa and his fluffists ?

outside FOC

- Conversionists: upgrade to standard GW codex choices, will fit into its parent units FoC slot. For pts cost see options. in
- Rule Crafters - 50pts each
- Lurkers - pts=special
- gorechild ( 340 pts )

army wide special rulez

- Infighting
- They have it, why shouldn't Dakka have it?

Dakkanauts in italics. Could posters please consider their point-costs and place in the FoC?
Those stated as "IN" in green... corrections welcome

" New" suggestions I am not sure if yet integrated or not ?:?

-Perhaps for something like this you could word them as...
Instead of one elite, fast, or heavy unit you may take one...(These do not count as troops and you can field no more than two.)
Vampirate of sartosa and his fluffists
Egocentric forumite
OT forum poster
Or...
Counting as two troop slots you may take one...(These do not count as troops and you can field no more than two.)
Or...
Vampirate of sartosa and his fluffists
Egocentric forumite
OT forum poster

Other than that random thought, Vampirate of sartosa and his fluffists I think should just take up two troop slots and be UNIQUE. (if there not already, I'll admit to not checking when I write this. Lazy, I know, I know, I'm sorry.)
Egocentric forumite sounds like it should be in Elite or Fast
and
Ot forum poster sounds like HQ but there are a lot of HQ as is so...maybe just make it a ONE PER ARMY upgrade of spamposter. (You know, like in every so many spam postings an original topic emerges.)
Ok, I don't know what OT stands for. But, I have offered ideas, and I will continue to be of some little assistance in some awkward way.
Also, i also have trouble with the PDF thing, made DWELLAR a docx, So I understand

Or you could take my character as like a trait it doesn't cost anything. Like we are different traits.
Like'
Asherian
You may use more than one angel squad at a time.
Purplefood
Your army may have as many crassus armored assualt transports as allowed by force organization. They also count as troops, elites, and fast attack and also heavy support.

Could we do that?
Lol?
