The Tempus Fugitives

The Tempus Fugitives were a prolific Warhammer 40,000-centric gaming group based in the United Kingdom. Their largest periods of activity seemed to be around 4th Edition, when they were hosting several unofficial Warhammer gaming events (which they assure you repeatedly are not official Tournaments and are in no way affiliated with Games Workshop).

They operated out of the now-defunct www.tempusfugitives.co.uk forums until some time in 2014, after which they appear to have transitioned briefly to tempusfugatives2.proboards.com in September of 2016 before largely being abandoned.

Forums

The original forums appeared to function as four services: preparation and communication in service of coming events, discussion about new fan codexes, army/modeling showcase, and general Warhammer or unrelated discussion.

Events

The Warhammer gaming events that The Tempus Fugitives held were known for being diverse and involved, due in large part to their incredibly strong homebrew scene. These events would involve Tempus-Fugitives-branded fan-made codexes for armies that wouldn't exist for nearly a decade, and some that still don't! They also hosted some of the first Horus Heresy tournaments, with "30k"-era fan codexes.

In later years, an event known as Fugitive Fest was hosting play sessions for Warhammer Fantasy, Warhammer 40,000, Warmachine, Hordes, and Dystopian Wars, as of 2012.

Codexes and Rulesets

In large part, these fan codexes were first released around the time of Warhammer 40,000 4th edition. Some codexes appear to have seen releases or updates in 5th and 6th edition. Note that The Tempus Fugitives seem to have been most active between 2007 and 2013.
