So, a thought of a creative exercise occurred today, here it is. Rules are pretty simple:
1. You are creating a data-sheet for a NYI character/rank/troop type in your chosen faction (such as Wardens in White for the Dark Angels). So Movement, Weapon Skill/Ballistic Skill, type of unit (elite/HQ/heavy), points cost, special rules, keywords, etc. etc. The works, essentially.
2. The character/rank/troop unit has to be mentioned in previous lore in novelia or is an established choice, who is not dead. Missing characters are acceptable. Example: Corswain for the Dark Angels in the HH books.
3. Stat-sheets have to balanced with the current 9th edition (so no over the top things such as 2+ invulns, 1+ BS etc). Iron Hands players, I'm looking at you! ;p
4. Be creative, think of interactions with the chosen factions, that would make your faction fun to play on the table-top.
5. Bonus points go to the people who generate an interest from other players about their created data-sheet.
Depending on interest in this thread, we might turn this into a competition, with the winner of each month subsequently winning an award (which if so, will be implemented later in this thread, and said winner decided by myself/person of my choosing). This section will be updated later.
With this in mind, let's start, shall we!
