I was wonderign if anyone made their own codex for theirs. With a small history, etc. I find backgrounds and creativity in Warhammer very interesting.

That would be cool.
	When offering criticism, keep in mind: 1. Constructive criticism is usefull if it includes ideas to make it better, if it does not, it is useless. 2. Think carefully about what your saying, if you are really criticising to say "I could do better", don't. 3. Criticism is taken better if the criticiser has done a similiar project.

I mean creating your own set of fluff and pictures. I always love to create colourful backgrounds for my stuff and our Armies, Orod Ourobros (mine) and Hive Fleet Terror (my daughters) are sharing the same codex we call the "Maw of Ouroborus", which is actually set in a real life star system called Monocerotis.

Here's a rough map of the region:

What I plan to add to this are sceneoroes for Revelation Station battles, which includes adapted rules for Corridor warfare. Complete history's behind Orod Ouroborus and Hive Fleet Terror (and perhaps the Eldar fleet there). These will incude Independant characters, coversion suggestions for modelling, scrath model ideas for Apoc games and new Tyranid breeds and genestealer broods, including the "Infection", a pure Genestealer-Plague Marine army. Also suggestions for scenarios and how to build an Ordo Ouroborus/Hive Fleet Terror army for Apoc. It's still in the works, but I could do with some short stories to flesh it out, PM me if you have ay ideas and need some information from me to help me complete the codex

Ordo, PLEEEAAASSEEE keep going with this and sharing it with us. This is exactly the type of campaign battle my group loves to set up and play! We just completed a series of battle based on a campaign, with special planet rules and scenarios, and it was great.
Lets see if i can find some links concenring it in case you are interested, itis nothing like you have done.

You dont have to look, but you really sound like the same typeof "fluff' gamer we are.

When offering criticism, keep in mind:
1. Constructive criticism is usefull if it includes ideas to make it better, if it does not, it is useless.
2. Think carefully about what your saying, if you are really criticising to say "I could do better", don't.
