Okay, this idea came into my head today... and I started the making the codex: its real rough and the only definant troops I have are the basic unit for the army Crossbow Men, I'll post them up right now.

Crossbow Squad:
Crossbows are the most common weapons amongst “feral” guardsmen regiments. As such, the majority of such armies are the highly trained crossbowmen squads.
Name_______ Pts per Model/WS/BS/S/T/W/I/A/Ld/Sv
Crossbow Men 8___________3/3/3/3/1/3/1/7/5+
Vet. Crossbow Man +8_______3/4/3/3/1/3/1/8/5+

Number/Squad: 5-20 Crossbow Men

Weapons: Laser Crossbow

Options: Up to 3 models in the squad may be equipped with a Heavy Crossbow at +5 points. Any model may replace his laser crossbow with a repeating crossbow at +2 points. One model in the squad may be upgraded to a Veteran Crossbow Man at +12 points, if so he may replace his Laser Crossbow for a sword at +8 points.

Weapons:
Laser Crossbow
Range Strength AP Type
24"_____4______4_Rapid Fire

Heavy Crossbow

36"_____5______4_Heavy Crossbow

Repeating Crossbow
Short Range:

18"_____4______4_Assault 2

Long Range:
Range Strength AP Type
24"_____3______5_Assault 2

Sword:
Swords used by Feral Guardsmen are huge, two-handed weapon used for close combat, swords increase the users strength by 2 up to a maximum of 8, they also count as rending weapons (because of the sheer strength of such weapons, which allows them to cut through armor with ease), however, when using such a weapon the model may only have up to 2 attacks because of the weight of such a weapon.

Also, I have some ideas for more weapons, they are:


Lance
A Lance is a long pointed weapon that is used to pierce enemy armor, usually from a mount. When charging into combat a lance doubles the user’s strength up to a maximum of 6.

Mini Crossbow
A mini crossbow is a small, short ranged weapon designed to be used right before entering combat. When charging into combat with a mini-crossbow if you possess another close combat weapon then you gain an extra attack as if you were armed with an extra close combat weapon, but do not gain this bonus the next round.

Mount
A mount is simply that, a horse that you may ride upon. A model equipped with a mount counts as Cavalry.

I should be coming up with an Assault type troop choice, as well as some fast attack and mabye heavy support.
