Splitting Fire:
A unit may fire at two seperate targets, but the unit MUST split the firing equally. Roll seperatly for each firing group.

Night Fight
You remember how annoying it was to bring that Leman Russ or that Hammerhead and not be able to shoot with it just because you couldn't see your target? Well, what about muzzle flashes, the noise of marching boots and the cries of the wounded, not to mention, starlight not quite bright enough to see by but enough that it produces outlines? Me, Skjoldr, and another follower of this blog played a game last night that was entirly Night Fight, and this is how we altered it...
Night Fight:
In order to see an opponent, you must first roll 2d6 and multiply it by 3. That is the number of inches your unit can see. If the unit's target is within that range, you may fire any applicable weapons as if the night fight rules were not in effect. However, even if the target is beyond that range, you assume you can hear that target moving, or see the flash of their weapons, or something. You may fire at them, however, they are granted a 3+ cover save for being obscured by the dark. Basically, your men are just firing at noise and light, not at physical targets. It is very difficult to strike your intended target that way.
Going to ground still grants the same benefit in the Night Fight rules, so going to ground when out of sight range of your enemy means you gain a 2+ cover save.
-----------------------
We intend to update "Custom Codex" with several of these slight rules alterations as we go along, so that you don't get bored while we work on our codicies. Enjoy, gamers!

First on our que: Kroot!
Remember that old GW Kroot Mercenaries army list? Remember how bad is sucked? Well me and Skjoldr are going to make it better! Honestly! We have only just started the project, and aim to play test it as soon as it's finished. When that is, we have no idea, since we are both lunatics!
As a heads up, we intend to feature:
- The old list's Kroot carnivor mutations
- More weapons, such as kroot long rifles
- More units, such as Kroot rangers
- A kroot special character!
- Unique special rules for Kroot armies
Stay tuned!

ALIVE!!!
Hello all, I am BoBo, and I have been a 40k advocate for many years...sort of. I love Warhammer40,000, but there are many armies that have been removed, un-updated, and uncared for. It is my, and my associate's goal, to re-write old, abandoned codicies, such as Squats, Gene-stealer cults, and even some that have not been written, such as a heretic army.
We plan to rewrite the rules for Kill Team, also, so stay tuned for many good updates!
Disclaimer - GW, don't sue us please!!!
Nothing we post is official, and if you are using our rules, make sure that your opponent and game store allow the use of such rules (which they should...because we're awesome).
Any official lingo, such as Space Marines, Cadia, Tzeentch, The God Emperor of Mankind, etcetera etcetera etecetera, is property of Games Workshop, and not us! Again, GW, we are doing this because we love your game, maybe not your prices *wink*, but your game. Don't take our money! Blarg!
