Wot'z 'appnin', Gitz? My name is on da left, ya grot! Dr. Zoidbork, I'm from South Wales and I'm the author of Codex: Orks Rewrite.

I've been into 40K as far back as 2nd Ed, but never properly played the game until late 3rd Ed with Eldar, and dropped them in the middle of 5th Ed for a proppa army (what can I say, Gorkamorka had a profound effect on me! ;D).

During 5th and 6th, I started thinking 'what if the Weirdboy worked this way?' and wrote a dual random power table, one for Powers of Gork, one for Powers of Mork. Seemed to work, and I got hooked on rules writing. Soon Ork Boyz were under the pen, followed by pretty much everything Orky under the sun, and we finally end up with Codex: Orks Rewrite.

COR has been around online for some time (well over a year now!), and it's finally making its migration to dakkadakka! Until I create a thread on this site, the only way to access COR without emailing me and asking for it is to type 'Codex: Orks Rewrite' (without apostraphes) into your favourite search engine - hopefully the first topic that comes up will be 'Codex: Orks Rewrite Ver. 3 - DA GOFF FORTRESS - Da WAAAGH', which will have a link to the most up-to-date version in the first post. Convoluted, I know, but them's the breaks.



I'm not entirely sure of the rules on posting custom codexes (aside from posting them in the Proposed Rules section!) - if many of the rules, e.g. statlines, are largely the same as the official codex, am I still allowed to provide a link to COR? No worries if so, we'll just stick to the above method.

Thanks for your time, and hopefully COR will appear in Proposed Rules soon!

Welcome to the forums!

If the majority of the rules from your re-write are from the regular game, there could potentially be a problem with posting it here as you probably know publishing rules here in full isn't really allowed. However, I'm pretty sure it will be okay to put here given the nature of the rules belonging in a custom codex; I'd PM a mod just to be sure. They don't bite, I promise!

Looking forward to seeing your work in the Proposed Rules area, and all over this site

Good call, G.A., will get on that asap.

Welcome, Dr. Zoidbork! The techno servitors are looking into this now and I'll PM once their work is complete.

Great to have you onboard
