Oi, fellow 'omebrewaz! Listen up!

One of my favorite aspects of the hobby and, I feel, most underappreciated or underutilized is homebrewing.

I plan to create a simple website that serves as a compendium for homebrew units/rules for 40k. The idea is to accept submissions from players and host them on my site. From there, visitors/members will be able to rate the units and leave comments to facilitate discussions on how to fix or modify the unit.

People will be able to download dataslates of these homebrew units so they can have the rules handy to play with their friends and gaming groups, or just browse through submissions to come up with ideas of their own.

By no means will the compendium be limited to units. Formations, missions, campaigns; there are many potential avenues to explore and this community is incredibly creative and passionate.

I don't anticipate this will be wildly popular, but I want to do what I can to encourage other hobbyists to venture outside of the very limiting and at times frustrating confines of what GW has given us. After all, geedubs themselves encourage us to forge the narrative and take our gaming into our own hands.

Does this sound like something you'd be interested in? I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!

Sounds neat, though I suspect it might be difficult to pull off the dataslate thing. If it goes through, be sure to let us know!

Sounds fun - have quite a bit of stuff can send through

Good stuff! My buddy's agreed to host it for me, so now I "just" have to figure out how to build it.

Maybe you could feature my Star Wars Imperial codex (linked in the sig)

Also there's a thread on here literally FILLED with custom units you could add to your site

That all sounds good. Once I have something put together I'll consult all sources to gather content.

Will probably add more here with time.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing. When the time comes I'll be sure to integrate this into the site.

*edit*

Oops I already said that. Sorry. More news to come...

There are a few of those threads, I think. Someone starts a new one every few months.
