CODEX: THE BADAB WAR - 3.5 Edition Fan Edition for Badab War Gaming

Codex: The Badab War 1.0 Release is here! 

We've finally completed the tome from a rules and fluff perspective. 

Inside you will find:



ASTARTES ARMY LISTS. You will find 17 army list variants for using any of the Astartes Chapters that fought during the Badab War. This also includes new units and special characters that took part in the conflict.

CODEX ADDITIONS. We’ve also added some small additional units and rules for Codex: Space Marine users including Veteran Skills. 

MORTAL FORCES. There are also rules for Huron’s shadowy Imperial Guard analogue, The Tyrant’s Legion, as well as some ideas for other mortal forces that took part in the conflict.

As always, with any community driven project we require your help, thoughts and feedback, so please feel free to use the following link:

FEEDBACK FORM

Over the coming weeks and months we'd love to put together some colour pages in the centre of the book much like we had back in the day with the old 3rd edition Codexs, battle scenes, how an army looks etc, so we'll be definitely looking for community help with pictures of their models, armies nd battles! Watch this space and get taking happy snaps! 

I'd personally like the thank Nick for his vision and commitment to quality, the setting, and the 3rd edition vibe in spearheading this project. Additionally Donno, supporting him the whole time dealing with his rantings and ravings, offering ideas, feedback and general enthusiasm.

This Publication is 100% unofficial and fan-made.

It will require the Warhammer 40k 3rd Edition (Ideally using the 3.5 edition) Rulebook, as well as Codex: Space Marines, Codex: Blood Angels, Codex: Armageddon and Codex: Imperial Guard to make full use of. 

For the Tyrant!
