Why not? We're making Waaagh Dakka, after all. It could be a fun project, and characterising ourselves on the battlefield might be entertaining.

-----------------
Please do NOT make yourself an HQ or unique unit. All Dakkanaut characters, other than people like Chowderhead/Kroothawk/Legoburner, should be unit upgrades a la Sergeant Telion.

Overall army feel would be "mostly ranged army"- well, consider the name...
And everyone is allowed to create rules for themself or other people, as unit upgrades.
So who's up for it?

One Hater may be upgraded to a Finecast-Hater for +10pts.
They may take a Hacksaw for +10pts

Thick-Skinned- Haters have developed an innate ability to resist the forces of reason. They henceforth benefit from +1 to their toughness.
Hacksaw: This close combat weapon counts as a power weapon, and wounds Finecast Models on a 2+.
Hate-Rifle: Range Strength AP Special
24" 3 5 Assault 3, Rending (Sometimes their babble really cuts deep)
Flamin' Mind War! All units withing 18" of the haters bear witness to the apocalyptic output of insults and repeated arguments. As a result they must roll off for leadership with the haters. If they win the roll off, then the unit weathers the flaming and may act as normal. However, if they lose, the unit is quckily driven insane and their brains dribble out of their ears, and they each take a wound with no armour saves allowed!


Conversionists: Conversionists are unique in that they alter an existing unit to suit their own ends. They are taken as a unit from any other codex with at least of the following upgrades:

MOAR DAKKA! Any ranged weapons carried by the unit add one to the amount of shots fire (eg Assault 2 becomes Assault 3). +30pts.
More Limbs: Any model in the unit adds +1 to it's attacks characteristic. +30pts.
More Aesthetically Pleasing: Unit benefits from a cover save of 4+ against all shooting by any unit from any codex other than Codex: DakkaDakka. +45pts.
A new gun: The unit may add any number of special weapons for the points listed in the appropriate codex. Pts as Codex.

Da Wurks: Crafted for the highest Veterans of Dakka, the heavy customisation known colloquially as "Da Wurks" involves heavy retrofitting, power boosting and re modelling of the Sarcophagus of the Dakkanought. What emerges is one of the most fearsome weapons in the Dakka arsenal, powerered by a revered veteran, probably Legoburner, Gwar or someone like that when they eventually die (IF they eventually die).
Da Wurks increases WS, BS, FA, SA, RA, A and I by two. The Dakkanought gains the Night Vision USR, as well as the following weapons:
Two shoulder mounted assault cannons, Two dreadnought close combat weapons with under-slung assault cannons, Frag assault launchers and the following special rules:

oh god this is brilliant I love you guys

Although, on the subject of the generic Gamers and Veteran Gamers, I'm not sure that imperial-only or mostly imperial weaponry is the best...

4oursword and Cthulu- I love this. This is magnificent.
Dakkanought should have -1 WS, +1 BS, lower armour and the ability to take two assault cannons.

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

Fix'd

I threw in some xeno and heretic weapon as well. The Veteran gamers have a much larger selection though, to represent their elite status.

Okay. But maybe an original default weapon?

Vampirate of Sartosa wrote:Okay. But maybe an original default weapon?

Bolter is the default.

Though there are plenty of free weapons on the list...

Hmm...gonna think about this.

I would say to everything other than wound.

Gwar! should have a rule similar to commissar Yarick ( debilitating wound )

**Gwar! suffers from innumerable battles with countless haters that argues only for the sake of not wanting to agree with him.
This prolonged the long senseless wars would normally drive normal mortal insane.

So maybe high toughness, but low wound.

HQ
Custom Mary-Sue Squad

A Space Marine hero who is the greatest Space Marine ever, he totally high-fived the Emperor once, and then punched the Nightbringer into oblivion. He once took on an entire Tyranid Hive Fleet and beat them so badly that now they are his slaves and he rides on a Carnifex he calls "Blood-muncher".

Special Rules: Psyker Level 3, Ultimate Supreme Master of the Space Marines, "Can't Kill Me!", Preferred Enemy, Fleet, Relentless, and (of course) Eternal Warrior

Ultimate Supreme Master of the Space Marines: Each Custom Mary-Sue knows all the psychic powers from 1 Space Marine Codex (Space Marines, Blood Angels, Space Wolves, Grey Knights or Dark Angels).

"Can't Kill Me!": A Custom Mary-Sue cannot be removed from play for any reason (failing a characteristic test, running out of wounds, etc). If he is reduced to 0 wounds then leave him lying down on the board - he's effectively dead and is treated as such, but is actually so cool that he has just grown bored of the battle and doesn't want to fight now.

OPTIONS:
May ride a Carnifex for +100 points each, adding +4W, +4A and +2S to his profile.

Rumours abound that the egocentric forumite is Matt Ward in disguise, owing to the former's predisposition to the creation of bs special rules and lack of context whatsoever.
However, nothing has ever been proved as saying Matt Ward's name twice in a paragraph causes the writer to fdsjkgjf

Immaculate Golden Demon Winner. 120 points [Heavy Support]
Special rules: Tank, Power of the Machine Spirit, Eye-catcher, heavily converted, secretly less than 50% GW material, huuuge scenery.
BS: 4
Armour values: Front 14, side 12, rear 10.
Armaments: None.
Options: Most weapons you can find on a Leman Russ Battle Tank, at slightly higher prices.
And all them standard vehicle upgrades for those no-good-for-nothing 'umies.

Eye-catcher: This piece is marvellous. It does catch the opponent's attention, though gauging how this will play out can be hard - either your opponent thinks it is a shame destroying it or it absorbs all his attention (and fire power). If any shots of strength 7 or higher are directed at the Immaculate Golden Demon Winner, then all shots which fall into range and line of fire of strength 7 or higher must be directed at the Immaculate Golden Demon Winner. Any models assaulting the Immaculate Golden Demon Winner with grenades get the benefit of Furious Assault.

Heavily Converted: Well, with conversions like these sometimes it's hard to see what, exactly, is what. It looks good, no doubt about it, but isn't that an orky bit? Sometimes the weapons on this vehicle will accidentally come from a different codex, adding a cumulative +50% to the original price of the weapon for each point of BS lower than 4 from the other codex.

Secretly less than 50% GW material: Even though this vehicle is, technically, not legal in official tournaments or in GW stores, it is now! All the non-GW bits are secret and none shall be the wiser! We won't tell a soul.
However, while this may fool GW officials, this does make the people in-the-know furious. Any squad of Ruleslawyers lead by a Neckbeard which can draw line of sight to the Immaculate Golden Demon Winner are affected by Fearless and Furious Charge. These are naturally drawbacks that you don't want to happen to your squad (I mean, it says so right here, don't it?!)

Huuuge scenery: Any self-respecting Golden Demon winner has a lot of scenery, so, too, with the Immaculate Golden Demon Winner! Any measurements to the Immaculate Golden Demon Winner is done to what can pass for the hull, as normal, but models assaulting the Immaculate Golden Demon Winner will find that not only do they have to climb the scenery as if the scenery were ruins, but the scenery also moves wherever the Immaculate Golden Demon Winner moves taking the assaulting models with it!

King of Preds:

King of Predators 300 points

May Swap any TL Assault Cannon for
TL Lascannon: free

Fire Points: 2 on each side of tanks
Access points: 1 at front and on at back
Transport Capacity:
May take up to 5 Devastators and Tank Brother Kantion

Special Rules
Relentless: The King of Predators and any unit embarked in it at the start of the game gains the Relentless USR until the game ends.
Hold the Pain: As above, except HTP
Spectacular Explosion: If the king of Preds suffers a Destroyed-Explodes result, place a large blast template over where it's hull should be. Any model under this takes a S7 AP1 hit.
ARMOR!!!: ANy shot on the vehicle damage chart taken against the pred is always treated has a -1 modifier.

One Predator in the army may take:

Tank Brother Kantion: 100 points

Salvage:
If the King of Predators is destroyed and Tank Brother Kantion is within 2" of any part of it, Kantion can drop his Servo Harness and Boom Blaster and pick up 2 of the Kings weapons. These count as exactly what they are, except that they are considered heavy (Kantion is relentless though.)

* Only counts as HQ if taken with Tank Brother Kantion
** Any hits taken from a barrage weapon are resolved against this armor value. The king is just this awesome.


These two were meant to go with my previous troop choice.
