I'm happy to help playtest it.

Ian

I have a print off of the Dex, as well and an early version.

Should bring my Tau this Tuesday, or another army for you to use?

Bring the Tau along and we'll give it a try.

Ian

I got a link to their most recent version

http://www.box.net/shared/nxjsz85knr

I'm downloading it myself, and I'll make a print-out. (My black Ink cartridge hates me by now, I'm sure of it :P)

Hmm. Do you have a link to the forum discussing it? I'd like to hear the justification behind T4 W2 Sv3+ Jump Infantry that have all the bonuses of Jet Packs but are cheaper than Obliterators...

Markerlights that cause subsequent shots to hit that unit on a 2+, ignore cover and cause pinning is also a tad overpowered. ;-)

Anyway, we'll give it a go.

Ian

You want a link? well, be prepared you a Wall of Text.

I will however raise your questions on the SecondSphere thread.

Cripes. This is why I stay clear of fandexes!

Someone has put a lot of effort into it but I think it's got some serious balance issues. The battlenet idea sounds really good but I wouldn't include it in a regular 40K game. Apocalypse and Planetstrike but it's far to potent and game changing for standard missions.

I'd have a go against it just to see how my assessments would pan out but I'm suspicious to say the least. I think someone read the Blood angel book and found a seriously green eyed monster sitting on their shoulder.

I only making Fandexs for the challenge.
With my own projects, I always compare to the 5th ed Codexi I have (SM, IG, BA) and even tonne stuff down by my own choice to try and keep balance.

I've signed up and asked a couple more specific questions, but no answer yet.

Ian

Having had a touch of insomnia last night, I posted a wall o' text in the TOdex thread (including some of Richard's contributions) and kudos to them, they've already done a revised version with some of the changes in!

The Battlenet is still a bit too disruptive, though.

Zack - I've downloaded your version and will read it when I have time, I'm tied up for about the next ten days...

Ian

I saw that. Haven't looked over the revised version yet myself though :P

Thanks for you help. most other places I've put it up, I've either been refered to someone else Fandex, or just ignored :P
