I LOVE most of this codex all though I cannot lie about missing the 155 point Avatar

I found some errors or issues that need to be addressed and I will work backwards from the Autarch rules section to the beginning of the "dex"

Autarch powers were great but the "shadows and dust" , I feel, needs to be stated if the moving player is allowed to reposition the facing of the vehicle as this could easily break this rule imho

Vehicle armory: Repulsor Fields are useless as no enemy models may remain in "base contact" with the vehicle after the assault phase assuming the vehicle survives. I would change it to a flat distance or a d3 inches distance for the effect.

Eldar Runes: A nitpick perhaps, but did you intend to switch the effects of Runes of Warding with Runes of witnessing?

Fanboyish Suggestion for Fuegan: Fire axe is now only plus 1 str, and now confers the ability for fuegan to project his psychic might through it with the same profile as the dragons breath flamer. I say this because I hate how firedragons still seem like nothing but melta carriers when they could be so much more (especially with your awesome addition of the crystalline dragons unit. I think Fuegan should be able to hang with either unit and either contribute via synchronicity or compliment.

This is really all I could find that was something I felt compelled to comment on. GREAT work Just dave... I hate you for making such great codexes that will never be tourny legal

I'd personally rank it at around 85 points as presented - a fast and reasonably durable, but impotent, artillery piece. Night Spinner's closest equivalent I can find would be a Fast Skimmer Griffon.

Actually, they do remain in base contact, but they aren't locked in close combat.

No they dont, per the BRB once an assault is resolved against a vehicle, you may not leave any model of yours within 1 inch of the enemy vehicle if you failed to destroy it for the simple reason that you may not position one of your models within 1 inch of an enemy model you aren't in an assault with. And since you cannot be "locked in assault" with a model without a weapons skill you cannot be "in base to base" with an enemy vehicle for longer than your assault phase if you fail to destroy it.

justdaveThanks man, appreciated. Cheers!

For me, the Avatar was underwhelming in game power; it's a fragment of a god of war, equal to primarchs etc. and it didn't reflect that IMHO; now it should be able to stand up to some of the toughest characters/creatures in the game. I don't blame you for missing the cheaper version, but I do think this version is more powerful, reflective of the background and can actually work without Fortune IMHO.

That's a good point regarding Shadows and Dust (cookie for anyone that gets the reference (without google!)), I shall clarify that in the 'dex. Cheers!

I did consider giving Feugan a template melta () but decided against it in the end. I will consider giving him an alternative fire mode or something, but I still think he works with Crystal Dragons (cookie for anyone that gets the reference (without google!)) through his rules and versatility. I will give him another look though, rest assured.

If i recall "shadows and dust" is a line uttered by the emprorer, to maximus, right before he dies in the movie Gladiator. It is also repeated throughout the movie.
Crystal Dragons? Possibly Legend of Dragoon?
