Codex - Blood Pact: /tg/'s 9th Edition

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD

SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE

LONG LIVE THE GAUR

Welcome to the Blood Pact /tg/ codex. This Codex was made because gw hates everything that isn't a space marine and won't give us rules for some of the coolest factions in the lore. Hopefully these rules should allow you to finally put those nasty red cultists on the field without having to make them world eaters. Spill some blood for us, and long live the Gaur.

Design Theory

PLAN: The goal with this codex is to make an army that reflects the lore of the blood pact with a few rules to make a unique experience. The general plan is to base the units in this codex off of ones from the imperial guard, gene stealer cults, renegades and heretics, and past examples of rulesets like the lost and the damned.

MODELS: The intent is to also provide possible examples for what sort of models that can be used or kitbashed to create a convincing model for each unit

BALANCE: The intent is to make this codex so that it will be abstractly "C" Tier, and when in doubt, to make it worse. Sometimes it can be hard enough to get people to agree to playing against a completely homebrew codex, let alone a good one.
