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!
