Introduction
This work is aimed at those fans of both the
“
Warhammer 40.000
” and the “Halo” franchises that have
always dreamed of merging those two science-fiction masterpieces together. This codex is still in need of playtesting, but the point costs and the rules should be balanced enough (hopefully, since the author has all the official codexes at hand... Yes, he is a madman) to grant you a pleasant experience fielding such a peculiar
army against any of the “official” armies out there
. Some important clarifications are necessary before starting to read: - This work tries to merge the history of the Covenant Empire into the existing storyline of the 41th Millennium, so no Spartans for you! The UNSC is not and will never be included into this project, simply
because it never existed in this timeline (or maybe not in the same “shape”. Who knows, the Golden Age of
Mankind is reduced to
just a big blur in the grim darkness of the far future…).
-
The “General Background” section of the Codex
is still missing, as well as its final layout, a fact that the author hopes to correct as soon as possible, real life issues permitting. -
Some of the events and information described into “Halo 4” have been utilized into this work, so
beware of minor spoilers if you still have not played it, you odd person
…
- The rule set used is the one for the 8
th
edition of WH40K. - English is not the mother tongue of the author, that apologizes in advance for any mistake and/or convoluted phrase that you may find in the following pages. Also, many thanks to all the contributors to the Halopedia, from where many background extracts and images were shamelessly taken and/or adapted. This work would have been much more time-consuming without them, so really: Thank You! Enjoy your read!
