The Angrier Initiative

Wew lads. GW sure screwed the pooch again. Tried so hard but in the end, they committed balance suicide by making the codices give buffs without costs, effectively nerfing all the factions which haven't been updated including the the most important one. Of course, I got even angrier than I was with 7th edition because 8th edition seemed pretty great, alas here I am again this time with a project I can hopefully get done in a week or two.

So what is this? Well, it attempts to bring a buff to all factions that is roughly equal to the buff the Space Marine Codex gave everyone's favourite faction. This means that I assume the game is balanced without Space Marines getting free special rules for most of their units, a free relic and a boatload of new Stratagems. Of course, this might not be the case, Space Marines might have needed a buff and so while they had initially planned to increase the points costs to balance out the new buffs, they found that the Space Marines were so underpowered that they needed all these buffs just to be as strong as the competition. Tournament results disagree.

There will be no updated points costs, there will be no math. Only a bunch of stuff that has more or less been copy pasted from Codex Space Marines or an earlier codex of the relevant faction. Hopefully, it roughly matches the power-level of the newest codex.
