Loyalist Renegades or Space Marine Overhaul? (Fan Rules)

[Brother Sidonius]

Greetings Battle-brothers!

While I wait for the fabled Black Templars Supplement to drop so I can see what will become of my homebrew rules for them, I've been thinking of what other factions I can make more fun. I've decided to see what I can do to remove the derp from Codex: Space Marines (Why is a bolter AP 0? Why GW?!).

 

The more Oldhammer 40K I've played the less satisfied I've become with the conversion of 7th ed Space Marines to 8th Edition Space Marines. It almost seems like the Firstborn were made worse with the sole purpose of making Primaris seem better, but I digress. It's probably just a consequence of being an early 8th Codex. GW had the opportunity to 'fix' Space Marines with our 9th ed Codex and although it made some excellent changes, I don't think they had time to fix everything. Well if GW won't write the rules I want then I'll write them myself!

 

The easiest option is to write a FAQ with updated datasheets and wargear and call it a day but I had another idea. Fandex: Loyalist Renegades. Rather than rewriting Codex: Space Marines I leave it in the state it's in and write rules for Loyalist Renegades. It'd be great fun coming up with alternate rules for the Fallen, Sons of Malice, Souldrinkers and Relictors so I'm leaning towards that option. But it's a lot simpler to just FAQ an existing Codex.

 

What do you guys think? Loyalist Renegades or Space Marine Overhaul? I'm keen to see what people would prefer :)

From my POV Loyalist Renegades is a lot more interesting as an idea and offers more options for creativity.
