Here is the extract from the original game:
WARORK wrote:Warklaw's eyes searched for the umie titan that he'd seen vaporize his boyz earlier, he'd bring that thing to its knees if it killed him...There! The spikey humiez were trying desperately to pull it back but it was big and slow, kind of like Warklaw, but Warklaw was definitely smaller than it, no matter, he'd still take it out. He motored his legs as fast as they would go, his new chain blade in the air. the Warhound had its back turned to Warklaw, its one mistake, the driver proabably thought it was safe, but the sudden breakthrough had caused it to be in danger, slowly it was turning around to adress the new threat. Warklaw new if it got a shot at him that would be it, he'd be as blasted as his other boyz that got turned into dust were.
Warklaw was determined not to let that happen, he pushed the legs of his dread past safe speeds and bounded towards the turning titan, his dread was about two thirds its size but Warklaw wasn't scared he'd beaten bigger things than him before. The Warhound was almost all the wya lined up and Warklaw had only a few paces left, this race of wills was coming down to the wire...
Finally with and orky scream, Warklaw laucnched his dread at the Warhound which fired its weapons...
The blasts winged Warklaw's dread, vaporising his right arm. Warklaw yelled in anger, now, quite literally, disarmed, he wasnt going down though, not by a long shot, the blasts of the warhounds two guns had injured hte warbos but he was nowhere near dead. His momentum still going forward, Warklaw's dread collided with the Warhound, its bulk hitting the titan squarely between its legs. Both the machines toppled over in a great crash of metal and were still. the event was so monumental that both sides looked on in awe at what had happned...
Slowly, one figure rose out of the smoke of the crash, its chain arm sitll whirring madly, Warklaw lifted a WAAAAAGH! to shake the heavens and plunged his blade arm deep into the head of the prostrate warhound titan and ripped it off with a tug of his arm. The sight filled every ork with pride, their boss, their god had just beaten the humiez own, they couldn't lose, as long as one ork still stood and one ork still killed, they couldn't lose...

I don't think army-wide, just for the sqaud that the DCM in question is in.
I think the DCM rule should be available to MODs, admins and DCMs only.
Maybe mods should also get the "banhammer" CCW which inflicts ID regardless of toughness?

Never mentioned DCM, which looks ok as soon as we figure out what it does.

Annoying Forum Troller
Elite
You can buy 1-3 Forum Trollers in only one elite slot. Each Forum troller is counted as being Independent character.
Point cost: 35 Points per model.
Infantry.
WS: 3 BS: 3S: 3 T: 3 W: 1 I: 3 A: 1 Ld: 7 Sv: 5+
Wargear: Lasgun, Frag/krak grenades, Keyboard (counted as close combat weapon), Las-pistol, flak armour.
Special Rules: TROLL, Annoying, Largely insignificant
TROLL: Forum Trollers are specialised on annoying people and then mysteriously slipping away, without a trace. Forum Trollers locked in close combat may always leave it without suffering any consequences. If they do, then he/she will immediately leave any unit they are joined with and move 6" in any direction. If this move isn't enough to move it out of close combat then the Forum troller is still counted as being close combat.
Annoying: Everybody hates trollers but sometimes just can’t recognize them. If a Forum troller is joined with any unit then at the beginning of each turn roll a D6 and consult the following chart:
1-2. What?- The unit in which the Forum troller is joined fails to notice the troll, and thus is unaffected.
3-4. Damn troll!- The unit in which the Forum troller recognises the troll and is seriously annoyed. The unit gains the Preferred enemy universal special rule and +1 I, until end of turn.
5. That fething troll!!- The unit is seriously annoyed by the troll and is driven in to fanatical rage! The forum troll immediately suffers 1 automatic wound in which he can take his normal save. The unit in which the Forum troll was joined with immediately gains +1 A, +1 I and the Preferred enemy universal special rule, until end of turn.
6.Outrageous!- The Forum trollers troll is so outrageous that he is kicked out from the forum and inspires almost suicidal bravery and rage to other forum users! Remove the Forum troll automatically from play (this does not give VP points). The unit in which the Forum troll was joined with, gains one of either the Preferred enemy, Rage, Tank Hunters, Fearless or Feel no pain universal special rules, for the rest of the game.
Largely insignificant: Killing the Forum troll doesn't give VP points and is always ignored in close combat resolution if he is killed.
Kanluwen (Vet gamer upgrade)
Spoiler:
Kanluwen
Kanluwen may replace one model in a Veteran Gamer squad at a cost of 95pts.
Unit type: Infantry
WSBS S T W I A LdSv 6 4 5 4 2 6 5 10 3+/4++
Wargear:
Master Crafted Plasma Pistol, Power Sword, Hot-Shot Lasgun, Power Armour, Flame Shield (4++)
Special rules:
Never back down, never surrender: Kanluwen will not rest until his opponent has been thoroughly beaten in to the dirt. He and his squad have the Stubborn and fearless special rules. If Kanluwen is the last surviving member in his squad, he becomes an IC. Note he MUST be purchased and start the game with a Veteran gamer squad.
NOT FLUFFY!!!: At the start of the game, you may denote one unit in the enemy army as "unfluffy". Kanluwen then gains Furious Charge and Preferred Enemy against that unit. However, if that unit attacks Kanluwen in any way Kanluwen gains the "Rage" USR until the unfluffy unit is destroyed. Note that only Kanluwen is subject to these rules, not his unit.
Cadians Ho!: Kanluwen sure loves his Cadians. When fighting alongside Cadian Imperial Guards units, Kanluwen may issue the "For the Honour of Cadia!" order up to 12”.
Apologist: If Kanluwen comes within 12" and LOS of a Hater squad (of either type), he and his squad gain the Rage! special rule, with the Hater squad counting as the closest enemy unit, until one of the squads is destroyed. The two squads engage each other in close combat as if they were on different teams.
Veteran Gamers
Spoiler:
Veteran Gamers

Unit size - 5-15

Greater Favour of the Dice Gods :

At the start of the game, roll two dice for each gamer squad and apply the following.

Dakkanought With "Da Wurks"
Spoiler:
Da Wurks Dakkanought:
270 points.
Profile and wargear: Same as Dakkanought, with any changes listed in “Da Wurks” applied.
Hero of Dakka: The Dakkanought is a hero of Dakka interred in the Immortal sarcophagus of a Dreadnought to serve once more in the army of Dakka, and this is doubly so with a Dakkanought with Da Wurks. Any unit even partially within 18" of the Dakkanought gains the fearless and stubborn USR, and +1 attacks in close combat.
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, Doombthumbs or someone like that when they eventually die (IF they eventually die).
Da Wurks increases the Dakkanoughts 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.
A Dakkanought with Da Wurks counts as a HQ choice, and has two structure points and a Kustom force field. (meaning it will only take 1 Sp of damage on a Destroyed – Wrecked or Destroyed – Explodes until it suffers a second Destroyed result, in which it will be destroyed normally.)
May Take any weapon options the Dakkanought could originally take, except additional DCCWs.
May Deep Strike for 50 Points.
May take the Venerable rule for 20 Points.
Trollbaiter (Must be modelled to look like Steve Irwin.)
Spoiler:
Trollbaiter-
Elite 100pts
WsBs S T W I LdSv 4 4 4 3 2 5 8 4+
Special rules
Troll bait –The troll baiter generates d3 trolls at the beginning of every player turn. They must enter from the controlling player’s board edge.
Trollbaited Troll:
WsBs S T W I A LdSv 2 2 3 3 2 2 1 6 -
Used as little more than meatshields, the Trollbaited Trolls are sent forward to distract the enemy.
Enemy units shooting must take a target priority test when shooting at a unit within 6” of Trolls.
And with that, my dear comerades, my section is complete - until someone tells me something is OP, that is. I'll probably get on to writing some fluff, or there may be another Codex calling.
Automatically Appended Next Post: No love for the codex anymore?

Not that much going on here anymore is there? Everything looks good anyway. The trollbaiter looks like the only thing that could potentially be OP, but since the trolls it generates are pretty weak it doesn't seem too bad.
Arguing with some people is like playing chess with a pigeon. You can play the best chess in the world, but at the end of the day the pigeon will still knock all the pieces off the board and then gak all over it.

I think the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT should be allowed to take units with jump pakcs or bikes but they take up more space
E.g. Jump/jet packs take up 2 spaces rather than 1.
Bikes take up 3 spaces rather than 1.

Yep, that'll work.
And maybe walkers taking up 4-5 spaces?

MCs take the same as walkers I think. Or 10. I'm really not sure.

So yes, common standard base models start at 1, become 2 when adding a jumppack. Mounted troops and beasts are 3, whilst infantry on 40mm bases for example is 2. MC and Walkers are 10. Thus the Dakka Dakka enhanced ride, aka CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT, may carry almost everything we created as units in the codex.

H.B.M.C :
We were wrong. It's not the 40k End Times. It's the Trademarkening.

dedicated transports:
- CRASSUS ARMORED ASSAULT TRANSPORT > crew upgrade of 1 CAAT: Purplefood + 50 pts. - Dedicated Transport: Band Wagon. - metal bawkses 40 pts - THE NIGHTWING 70 pts - admin/mod only: Dakkanaught / da wurks available as wargear ( sort of transport ). > Replaces all existant wargear except admin/mod specific ones with the Dakkanaught options. Takes up 4 spaces in transport. No restriction as admin/mods are above such.
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. - Rule Crafters - 50pts each - Lurkers - pts=special - gorechild ( 340 pts ) -Shrike 100pts (takes no FOC slot), not yet accepted
? suggestions of changes ? or stay as is? Still missing vampirate himself. Anyone seen his entry?
army wide special rulez
- Infighting - They have it, why shouldn't Dakka have it?

I think the first post needs updating Vampirate. Otherwise, I'm not too sure what we need to do next...

So...What's going on guys? How's everything moving along?
Maybe next we could do something completely crazy, and...playtest?

“Well, what do you carry the gun for if you’re just going to waste bullets?” Timer reloads his Boomer as Forling fires his Shrapper.
“I may ‘ne be a good shot Timer, but I don’t miss much from this close up with my hammer,” Forling continues to fire.
“All the enemies are good and far away so what the hell does that…” Timer looks up to see Forling giving him an angry stare. “Oh, yea, ok, um, good shooting.”

Yeah, I don't think GW plan to release official Dakkadakka units any time soon.
