<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "new codex"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/65.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net new codex 40k. We were thinking about writing making a new race called the Doctors. Just think about it, and see how creepy you can make a physician become. They have use of scalpels, syringes, tubes, and all manner of toxic things. We are looking for some experienced people who have good ideas for special rules, paint patterns, and new characters, such as Nurse Ratchet from One Flew Over the Cookoo's Nest. It would be awesome to get some input on this, so let us know what you think. Here is what we have so far.

Warhammer 40k Codex Doctors

Welcome to Dakka, not entirely sure the Introductions forum would be the best place for this however having a quick glance at your proposed new faction the wargear/rules seem a little OP
+3 str on a CC weapon....
Bolster... what exactly are the stats on these zombies?
24" on a syringe gun? (having played TF2 24" range is way to far IMO)
Cosmetic implants giving +1 S and +1 T for something cosmetic?

Going from your proposed rules, I could lobotomize a model then strait away add 2d6 zombies to that unit giving a potential 13 zombies in one psychic power turn, then do the same thing next assault phase...

I like the idea, perhaps not the rule set at the moment.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/430180/3923314.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/430180/3923314.page GMT new codex
