I have for a while struggled to choose and army and wished I could choose one that I could make up fluff about easily. Then I thought I would design my own army (for friendly games only) from scratch to write fluff about. To make it easier I would up the fluff first then the army instead of the other way round when I realised that if I posted the fluff you (with your combined knowledge) would be able to contribute to making a balanced army.

So I am going to post basic fluff (armys need to be personalised so caught be to specific and binding) and it would be awesome if posted a unit or vehichle or character or add a piece of wargear or a weapon to the armoury. If you can play test others and give some feed back.

THE YIRAHNAH

agroup of tribesmen who had benn used as guny pigs for an experiment. Constant failure required that almost every one of the tribespeople were captured. The sect that had captured them were working on a hybernation of human, ork and kroot DNA to create a force of soldiers in which a group of 10 could quickly multiply into countless numbers. After years of research and trial by elimination they isolated the cells that created the desired properties and manufactured a race of ab-humans who had the strength and agileness of orks and kroot but had the body shape of a human allowing for them to use imperial weapons more effectively. Like orks the reproduced through spores however halfway through development their DNA would be copied and like a bacteria cell they would devide into 2 and these 2 would divide again and once they were fully mature and ready to emerge their could be well over 100. After a few generations they had adapted to survive horific wounds and strangely had grown an extra set of arms.

All I could think of was leadership 9 due to the fact they are essentialy clones so are organised etc. and a 6+ invulnerable in cc because they have extra arms to block with. (that rule might be too far)

please post any ideas be that weapons, wargear units or comments or additions on/to the fluff.
