Writer's Statement

Codex Adeptus Astartes: Lamenters is a full, professionally produced 200 page fan codex for the Warhammer 40000 tabletop game. Featuring unique rules, datasheets, and a fully realized lore, this book finally brings one of the most beloved Space Marine chapters in the Warhammer 40000 Universe to life.

Materials

These are the documents that were created for this project. Hundreds of hours were invested into their creation.

In the past screenwriters and authors would make it a point of pride not to steal another person's work. However, this new breed of screenwriter has no such honor. Due to the high level of theft that has happened I have removed all materials from the website. If you would like to explore these materials for business reasons please contact me for details from your organization e-mail address.
