I'm going to start this Thread (or in fact series there-of) with a thank you.
A few weeks ago I asked people what they'd do to improve the CSM codex as a community FAQ, which led in a roundabout BigRed inspired way to the idea of getting some legions supplements out there before GW do to fill the gap before GW publish. Hell if GW steal even one idea from them I'd be thoroughly chuffed!
So the thank you is to everyone who went on there and gave their 2 cents in the way I asked, by contributing rather than just shooting down ideas. May your names be etched on the walls of posterity!

To those of you who used the last thread as a place to argue, and at more than one point start calling each other names I ask you to not do so here, you're better than that.
The attached document is there to be playtested.
I did a fair whack of math-hammer on it, and even ran some quick tests, but it is a BETA version.
Put out there so you can TRY IT in games and provide FEEDBACK.
Please don't download it, read it, and immediately get on here posting about how awful it is.
Play as it, or against it FIRST.
Then come back and say "Blah Blah, caused Blah to happen in my game when Blah, this is good/bad because"
I'll wait until trends start appearing in actual results and THEN i'll start updating it.
I'll be doing this with the other 3 non-cult armies over the coming months, then i'll move onto cults.
Be patient and constructive and as a community we can add something good to our hobby until GW get around to replacing it.
And here it is;
