Hello all. I am in the middle of devising an new army list/codex which would only be played for fun. Basically I would like to get a bit more use out of the historical models that I have eg Greeks. Macedonians etc.
So I have started a codex for a race of humans called Helnicians.
As I say its just for fun. If in three weeks someone would like to face a 2000pt army of this with a regular warhammer fantasy list - I would be very happy. I will finish it in a week or so and will have just basics without any special characters. Just Lords, heroes, core, special and rare choices, a new magic lore especially for Helnicians called the Lore of Oracles and a magic items list called Oracle Magic items. There are mundane weapons pertaining to Helnicians.
I will of course email the "codex" to the prospective opponent a week before the game so that they can see what they are up against. When the list is done I will not change it however it will be fair (unlike the new Daemon book), however I am open to constructive criticism or perhaps new unit ideas on this Ancient Greek theme - when I have finished, but I won't be open to moaning. If you do not like the army codex that is your perogative and you can reply with a "no thanks" and I will seek someone else who is willing to play against it for a laugh. Again I don't care about winning or losing its just to try it out and see if it works. It will be tweaked afterwards.
If this is succesful I will also work on a Roman type one for a future game. So who would like to help me out here to see if it is compatible?
I believe another chap on the net had done something similar but I couldn't find his website - so I have gone alone on this as I couldn't remember anything he had put down -(a few years back).
