Codex

who here thinks they need to make a codex for Ordo Xenos considering they pull from both Codex and non Codex chapter

We should make one and use it to draw members in

Thats a pretty cool idea. Could make fan-made codexes for various things such as Ordos Xenos. An upgrade/updated Assassin codex too could be cool.

Yeah; Ordos Xenos has some pretty cool potential. Shame GW hasn't realised it.

I know somewhere it says they dont use the codex astartes, so it makes more sense then having 9 million and 3/4 C:SM

You can do counts as using the actual WH codex, but it's not the same...
If you need help, I'm in for the codex.


Eisenhorn demands it.

It would be cool, however it wouldn't fit with how the Ordo Xeno usually operates.

unlike the Ordo Hereticus and Malleus, they rarely use exclusivly Ordo Xeno forces.



if you did have an Ordo Xeno codex it would have to have

HQ
Inquisitor

Death Watch Librarian

Troops
0-2 Death Watch squads(0-2 representing their rarity)

Inducted IG platoon(same as IG infantry Platoon)


Elites
ISTs

Assassins

Fast Attack
Valkyire

Heavy Support
Inducted Lemun Russ squadron(all IG varities)


heavy emphasis on inducted IG as the main force with an elite core of Xeno hunters.

Also for heavy support
Deathwatch dreadnought
They're rare but they exist.
Also i feel that Deathwatch squads should be able to draw from Vanguard, Sternguard, Devestator wargear and maybe 1 out of every 10 men can take terminator armour?

The terminator armour idea sounds pretty interesting.

Deathwatch are drawn from loads of different chapters and loads of different squads. This should be shown in their wargear right? I quite like the idea of a few Deathwatch characters... that Librarian from the Mantis Warriors maybe?

HQ
libby
captain
inquisitor (may issue orders to IG)

Troops
tac. squad (0-2)
IG platoon
veterans

Elites
dread
3 termies per squad?
assassins

Fast attack
valkyrie
hellhound
sentinel
assault squad (0-1)

Heavy support
leman russ
land raider (0-1)
devastator squad (0-1)
basilisk

my two pence.
I'll be happy to chip in with making units and special rules.

I think we should make the armoury first then the unit entries like Deathwatch tac squads and assault squads.
