Update 07/18/10:
Hit a speed bump yesterday so I'm probably behind by a week now in order to iron out some new additions I put off making until a week after the last second. My list of Heavy Support didn't seem hefty enough, so I'll be including a variant of a long favorite in the 40k community.

FAQ for v5.120610.L Released!
Update 02/08/11:
As you all have noticed, I'm no longer putting minimal updates on this post. It's a needless hassle I don't want to deal with. With that, know that I'm working on the FanDex almost every day and I now have a small team working on this rather than just my lonesome self so things are moving along at a great pace. As I mentioned in my post a couple of days ago, you should see the new version of the FanDex before February. The newest version is a lot more clean as far as rules go, "stream-lined" if you will. There are countless major changes and modification that have been made in order for this FanDex to be as playable as possible. The battlereports are still coming in and I would like to thank everyone who's participating very much and I hope the next beta is even more entertaining for everyone.
While I can't toss out all the information I have on the new version (as that would be near impossible for one,) I won't leave you without some detail. Essentially, most of the previous Imperial vehicles from other codices have been removed and/or replaced. This was the complaint I saw the most, too many vehicles we've already seen before. While I personally think it makes sense that the creators of IG and SM vehicles would bring those with them when they go on their Tech Quests since they're always readily available, I do have to agree that it makes the FanDex feel less personal. We have how many SM codices right now? Yeah, no one wants another SM dex, even in partial. So here's the juice.
New unit entries you'll see in the next version:
- Knight Titan
- Tech-Priest Transmechanic
- Phantous
- The Forsaken
- Gant
- Cantharis
Names are all I'm throwing out for now.
Update 02/21/11:
A couple of weeks ago I added a few units to the FanDex that I forgot to post here. Once again, names are all I'm giving out at this time. Worry not, I'm estimating the next version of the FanDex is about one week away.
- Caminus-Priest
- Cult Abomination
- Divexo Beacon
Update 02/28/11:
The 2nd version for beta testing (
v5.022811.L) is up! Enjoy!
Update 03/29/11:
The new FAQ is up for the second version of the fandex!
Update 04/04/11:
Clarifications on the Walking Transport Special Rule have been
posted.
Update 04/25/11:
I'm pleased to announce I now have a team of four to-be-named fluff writers working hard on the fluff entries for the fandex. I'm excited to turn this fandex into more than a rulebook come the next version. Hopefully those of you that enjoy fluff as well will enjoy what the team has in store for you.
Update 04/29/11:
As some of you might have seen, there has been a series of articles I've written about the AdMech FanDex's past, present and future on
MWC. In the
third article I mentioned the following units are to be included in the fandex's next version:
- Imperial Jetbikes
- Iron Father
- Iron Hands
- Textura
- Tech-Priest Artifex
- Solus Infiltrator
- Luceo Rollers
- Termite
There may be one more unit included in the next version, but I'm still getting this one down on paper and haven't begun playtesting it yet, so I'm not too hopeful. I'll keep you all posted.
Update 05/17/11:
Announcement of the
Fluff-Writing Team.
Update 06/02/11:
Updates here will stop as keeping up with this log is getting a little tedious. With changes happening so rapidly I would be updating this thing daily and that time is better spent elsewhere. Just know the project continues and I'll be updating you all here as time goes on.
