a bizzare world where IG outsell marines....

[General Biakal]

and in this bizzare world IG get the same "gaggle" of codex books that essentil are the same but different.

so what would these changes be?

Cadian...

veterans limited and conscripts and platoons encouraged

kaskrin instead of storm troopers- slightly different rules

armoured sentinels encouraged and mabe troops

no ogryns or ratlings

more sanctioned psykers

tanks in squadrons cheaper or do not suffer from being lost if immobilised


Catachan...

move thru cover armywide

6+ armour

stealth (?)

scout sentinels encouraged

veterans encouraged

no ratlings

ogryns encouraged

no storm troopers

commissars face some opposition like in fluff

no tanks in squadrons

snipers as independent units

Volstoyan...

conscripts get free "send in next wave"

ratlings as troops?

no chimeras

tanks cheaper but limited varients?

independant snipers?

mortar batteries

loads of commissars... free?


Elysians...

arvus as chimera proxy... fast, scout, deep strike

no abhumans

veterans

sentinels as FA and HS


any other ideas?

wasn't there a Codex Catachans for 40k 2nd and 3rd?

There was one out for 3rd and was obviously around until the 4th edition IG codex came out.

Im Thinking it was around the 3rd to as it was when they made mini codexs. , the codex is still valed to use.

actually the codex:catachans wouldn't be very good today. im not sure how useful it was back in its heyday- it was more of a scenario book with army lists in- it required large parts of the bord to be jungle, it used booby traps and hidden units... it would be ideal for an actual skirmish game... but seeing as how even a "small" 40k game nowdays is probably rocking 50+ troops and 5 tanks its pretty obsolete. it might be a handy resource if you play a lot of themed and special narrative games...
