    Well, it's been much longer than I'd of liked since I last made an update. I'm leaving for basic training in April and so my girlfriend wants to spend as much time with me as she can before I leave. I'm not arguing, but it also means that I'm not spending that much time at home to work on the codex. However, in August I'll be back and then I have three more years of school to finish this thing. Anyway, I've gotten quite a bit done and have an updated version of the codex:

    The obligatory warning; the PDF has gotten up to 20 megabytes and is about 55 pages long now (though not all pages are complete).

    I think I addressed most of the major concerns, barring those that I'm being stubborn on. However, one of the biggest changes that I made was to change all of the type-font from 12pt to 10pt, which makes it the same size as official GW codices. Not only do I think that it makes it look better, but also it allows me to get in a lot more information (generally fluff) on one unit, piece of wargear, ect. than I was able to before. I'm pretty excited about that. But anyway, here are some of the other changes I made:

    - I started on the history, which is almost two pages long and hasn't even gotten to the Great Crusade yet. I'm still estimating that it will be at least 15-20 pages, perhaps longer if I add in little anecdotes and biographies. One thing I'm worried about is that it sounds a little pedantic so far. It's supposed to sound like an actual history text, but I'm just wondering if this has made it a bit too boring.

    - Made up a Creed for the Kae'Moda military. More a fluff and filler thing than anything else.

    - Finalized rules and pages for the Command Squad, ATCV, Regulars, Black Berets, and Tyranid Hunters. Command Skill "Feign" added.

    - Special Intelligence Bureau now upgraded to either Clean-up Squads or Stalker Squads, with different wargear and special rules. I actually like them beyond fluff and would use them now. =P

    - Spectre made 11-11-11. (Not reflected on unit description page, but is correct on Army List and Summary page)

    - Special Characters slightly adjusted, pictures added for most. A new character will be added because I have an extra page and don't have anything else to put there. Sounds like a crappy reason, I know, but it should work out fine.

    - Cloaking field now gives Stealth USR, Reactive Camouflage added, Occular Implants added. (No units have either as an upgrade yet.)

    - Multi-rocket pod removed, replaced by Short and Long Range Missile Racks. I personally think the concept turned out pretty well.

    Those are the main things. I did some tinkering here and there, so let me know what you think if you happen to check it out. Thank you in advance!

    The Harbinger looks ridiculously awesome. May I ask where the picture came from?

    After a long time of no work on the codex (in large due to being away at Basic and AIT for the Army and then coming back to school) I finally have updates!

    I'll get around to updating this thread here soon, but for the time being it'd be easier to just go over to the PAGE blog, which is local for me and will be the primary hosting place for the codex from here on out, with updates still being put up here every so often.
