Hey guys,
Noremac here with another fantastic, or potentially terrible idea. I have this idea that has been gnawing off the back of my mind for a while and a few of my buds are really trying to push me to do it.
The idea?
An Elysian and Tanith Codex.
I know, I know. Lame. But, is it? I know that IA has some good Elysian rules out there, but in my opinion they need a bit of adjusting. As for the Tanith, the only thing I have to work with is the abundant fandexes
floating the web. Don't get me wrong, what others have done is some fantastic work, but I feel like I could throw a few curveballs in their to really spice things up. And keep in mind when I say an Elysian and Tanith codex
I mean two seperate codices. The reason for this codex? I myself play two armies: White Scars and I.G. A good buddy of mine plays Elysians with some homebrew rules my gaming group allows. However, I am interested
in getting into both Elysians and Tanith. The just seem so badass. So, would all my time and energy be futile? Is this a lost cause? What should I do? And that's where I turned to my resources; Dakka Dakka. You guys are
the best! So please, let me know. Would you think this a good idea? Would you be interested in helping me out along the way? Or am I crazy? Don't hold back. Don't be sensitive. I'm preparing for the worst.
Happy WarGaming,

Id rather, instead of dedicating a codex to one regiment that you make a codex for creating your own regiments. The have a section with rules (using the ones in the custom area) where you show which rules make up famour regiments.

I think I explained it. But yea rather than a focus on one regiment try encompass all plus more.

As to either I'd rather focus on a Doctrine system for the Guard book that lets us put together Armoured Company, Airborne (Elysians and others), Recon/Light Infantry/Skirmishers (Tanith and others), and other sorts of folks with just one rulebook.

Those are really good ideas. So if I'm not mistaken, AnomanderRake you agree that it should just be a guide to creating your own regiment vs. an entire codex? Maybe creating up a few special characters or even rules to create your own! I've always loved the idea of creating your very own special character. (More than just giving a model a cool name/or changing its prior name). How do you suggest I go about this? Where do I begin?
