Sometimes, I'll come up with things just because. An idea strikes me, a model looks cool, or whatever, and it doesn't necessarily match to my Extended Codex armies.
So I figured, I'll start this (I'll find space in my sig for it at some point...).

As with all my homebrew, I'm looking for clear feedback on the idea, and the balance and costing of it.

I'll open with the Space Marine Techmarine Dreadnought!
