Plans for [all] upcoming official books

Well, you asked for it so here you go: a basic outline of my planned changes for the upcoming updates for each army book. This list is by no means complete and subject to change; it is simply a draft of the current ideas floating around, there will be a lot more tweaks besides these ones. I will go into each book's planned changes in more detail once I start working on them. Feel free to add your own wishlists, complaints and nit-picks in case you feel I've missed anything.

Along with all rules changes, I also plan to add to the background and art of all units when possible. Where GW have in the later books shortened down the unit fluff to half a page in order to fit 4 different units onto two pages, my updated versions will have closer to 2 pages of fluff for most units in all army books. So, expect some heavier tomes in the future, probably close to 150+ pages each!

I also plan to release two versions of each book; one for using the official 8th ed rules, and one for using my 9th ed rulebook (currently being worked on, which will be released before Empire). The difference between the two will be rather slim, so you don't need to worry too much about learning a ton of new special rules or new wording thereof.

PS: Could use page 11 of the latest Daemons of Chaos book if anyone has it, currently lacking in my copy. Same goes with better quality art pictures from Tamurkhan and Monstrous Arcanum.

  1. Dark Elf City Guard! Hells yes! They don't need to be amazing either, just a rank or two of X-bows at the front of a spearman block

    1. I think 2 ranks of xbows, the rest spearmen. It'll be a really good formation (4 ranks of attacks if in horde, parry), but it will be S3 T3. I. Cannot. Wait.

  2. How about adding Norse Dwarfs to the roster? At least one unique unit of them just to at least acknowledge their existence.

    1. Norse Dwarfs can already be made using the normal rules in the rulebook, so I don't really plan any special rules for them. They will get their fair share in the background though.

    2. They could be scouty and have access to bows as that's what the old WH Norse Dwarves had.

    5. Maybe as an expansion then, because the currnet fluff says Dwarfs are not suited to use normal bows.

      Berserkers and Shield Sisters are already in the Norse book, so I don't want to add the same to the Dwarfs.

      Delete
    6. Current fluff don't speak about Norse Dwarf Bowmen...

      Norse Dwarfs and Norses have a culture with lot of similarities... So no problems to see Shieldwall for Norse Huscarl and Dwarf Berserkers.

    8. True, but Norse Dwarfs still don't really differ that much that they need their own unit IMO, and having just one unit with the Norse special rules in the Dwarf book seems a bit tacked on.

  8. For Tomb Kings the golden host of mahrak would be great
    They died while they walked through a pool of molten gold and had golden swords :)
    I rly want to see them as a great weapon unit (tomb kings need that ) and with light armor and scaly skin couse the gold -with low I(1) S,T 4 slower movement maybe and killing blow
    Sorry if its a silly idea:P

  9. Since you're going to modify all the army books then I have a few suggestions to make universal throughout all of them:
    *Make units that can be customized to be ranged or melee able to choose between a ranged character (+1 BS) or melee character (+1 Attack).
    *Make core chariots consist of 1+ models, special chariots consist of 1-3 models and rare chariots be only a single model. Characters riding the exact same chariot can join a chariot unit unless them joining will take the number of models above the maximum (so no joining a unit of 3 special chariots or any rare chariot).
    *Make a +1 S or T difference between heroes and lords universal throughout the army books by either weakening the heroes or boosting the lords depending on if he species has access to ordinary troops that are +1 strength or toughness (for example, human combat lords gain +1 strength, goblin combat heroes lose -1 strength).
    *Make weapon and armor upgrades consistent throughout the army books. Say make Additional Hand Weapons a 1pt upgrade, Halberds 2pts (3pts for cavalry), Great Weapons 2pts, Spears 1pt, Morningstars 1pt, Flails 2pts etc... These costs are multiplied by the units attacks value (Soldiers spend 1pt for a second hand weapon, Chaos Warriors spend 2pts, Ogres spend 3). Armor saves are a +1pt upgrade (2 for cavalry) per increase that gets multiplied by the number of wounds a model has. Ranged weapons are 1pt for shortbows, 2 for bows, 3 for longbows, 1 for throwing weapons, 2 for javelins or throwing axes, 2 for slings, 4 for crossbows or handguns etc... Character models purchase a ranged weapon at double the normal cost. If a model has strength more than 3 then the cost of a ranged weapon that's strength is dependent on the strength of the user increases by 1 for each point of strength beyond 3. Less than 3 strength or BS halves the cost of a ranged weapon.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. *I've reconsidered how to make weapon upgrades consistent. Instead, melee weapon and armor upgrades should cost the same between all core, special and rare infantry. Heroes multiply the cost of melee weapons and armor by 2, Monstrous _______ (not the non-monstrous riders) and Lords multiply the cost by 3, Monstrous ______ heroes multiply the cost by 4, Monstrous _____ Lords multiply the cost by 5. Ranged weapons are still double for characters and I think without the points increase for being of increased strength for ranged weapons dependent on strength.
      *Make all factions that have dragons be able to take them in three sizes just like the high elves.
      *Make non-item upgrades (such as Ogre Titles, Clan Mons and Mercenary character traits) use a points pool that is separate from the magic items pool. Perhaps even include a list of generic traits that all characters from any armybook can take in the rulebook.

    3. *Make S4 non-character humans (not the post-human chaos warriors) be WS5, have 2 attacks base, or both (if they're so elite that they are rare choices).

      Delete
    4. *Fill in the gap where Skink and Human characters have +2 initiative over their subordinates by making every unit with +1 WS over the base Weapon skill also have +1 initiative above the base Initiative.

      Delete
    5. I work using a similar model, though it won't be quite as straightforward as your suggestion.

      Delete
    6. Here's another suggestion:
      *Make human warhorses (except for the swift Arabyan steeds) be toughness 4. It won't affect gameplay, it's just an aesthetic thing. Perhaps you should also make the Arabyan steed initiative 4 just like the elven horses.

    7. I actually wrote an article for it for the Doom Seeker a few years ago, I think you can still find it online, though it was written with 7th ed in mind.

    9. *Vary the toughness of War Machines. The War Machines in the special section tend to be smaller than War Machines from the Rare section so make special War Machines be toughness 6. Core War Machines should be toughness 5. By relation, remove the ability to take Scorpions from the Dogs of War as a unit and move it to the core section. Move the Field Engineers of Cathay to the core section as well. If you don't like the idea of being able to make an army consisting entirely of war machines then make those be limited in the same way that the Hobgoblin Spear Chukkas from the Chaos Dwarf book is limited. One more suggestion is to move the Norse Horsemen from core to special to represent the uncommon nature of horses in Norsca. Sons of Thor should then be moved to Rare as well to prevent encroachment.

      Delete
    10. Don't remember, I think around issue 6 or 7.

      I don't think I will change the War Machines too much, especially moving them around. Core war machines is not likely. Might change the T a little, we'll see.

      Delete
    11. You're off the mark. It's issue 3 and 4.

      Delete
    12. *Make all wizards have access to armor. As a nod to the fluff of armor disrupting magic, make the upgrade expensive. 10pts for light, 20pts for heavy and 30pts for better. In addition, make the access be limited based on the faction. For example, Albion wizards can only be equipped with light armour while Empire wizards can be given heavy.

      Delete
  10. About the High Elves getting to reroll to hit rolls of 1 in close combat, this overlaps heavily with the fact that against most units, they are rerolling all to hit rolls due to Always Strikes First. Unsure if this is intentional, but it seems like a fairly significant nerf considering they lose their ability to fight/shoot in an extra rank. Just my two cents. Keep up the great work.

  13. What can we expect from the Lore of Geomancy? Are Lizardmen going to keep access to the Lore of High Magic as loremasters (I reckon not). Are Slann going back to their strong state of pre-8th ed? Are we going to keep the Signature spell ability? I really dig the replacement of spells we have atm in the lore of High magic, would be nice to keep that somehow.

  14. I'd like to see an upgrade for the HE bolt thrower, one that makes it like the blast ordnance it was in wh: mark of chaos.

    And i always dreamed about an (absolutely unfluffy, as far as i know) HE arcane plasma sphere thrower, something similar to a floating slann palanquin with a runic pillar that release arcane bolts, with the profile that remember a safe version of the 7th ed skaven lightning cannon with something like the attuned to magic rule to make it impredictable.
    After all they should be an highly magic-based society!
    When, instead, the Empire itself (the same that breed witch hunters!) own arcane devices.

    1. I think I will keep it as-is, to have it on-par with the DE bolt thrower. Don't want to go overboard with magical craziness, the Empire has too much of that as it is imo.

  15. Now that the Ogres are up, might I suggest the option to mount the Tyrant and Bruiser on Mournfang/Rhinox mounts? On the same note, it would be neat if a Lore of the Beasts Butcher can be mounted on something, like the Amber Wizards can.

    I don't mind the options Gnoblars have right now, as they deviate a lot from the rest of the army due to their size, and I'd like to keep that as a special snowflake thing. Maybe a Gnoblar Character (or Ma the Grub)?

    Lastly (and only because it could be fun), how about the option to take Mournfang as a War Beast option, like Sabretusks but bigger?

    ReplyDelete

    1. Tyrants and Bruiser will be able to take mounts, yes. Butchers, I think fits better on the ground. I'm personally not a fan of Empire wizards taking Griffons either, but hey, GW made a model for it...

  17. I believe you should include Constant Drachenfels, The Great Enchanter. One of the most evil people in WHFB's History, he could be in either Vampire Counts or Chaos, as he worked for / commanded / manipulated both.

  20. How about Mallobaude the Black Knight, or the Order of the Knights of the Black Grail. There's also the Sisters of Ancelioux (a trio of sisters taken in by the lady).

    For the Vampire Counts, there's Erikan Crowfiend. In the books he has an affinity for Ghouls, so perhaps there could be some rules requiring Ghouls if he's the armies general, or being better able to direct Ghouls by removing a negative trait from them or something.

    You could also use the Drakenhof Templars, Obald the Bone-Father of Brionne, the Specters of Corpse Wood, the Doom Riders, or Emperor Wilhelm the First (raised up as a Wight King by Vlad).

  25. Much as I'm loathe to suggest even more units for warriors of chaos, the slaughterpriest from the Khorne Bloodbound range does seem like an interesting addition for khorne focused armies, a sorcerer alternative of sorts.

    Replies
    1. I don't know man, four non-special character Bloodthirsters sounds a bit overkill. I didn't like the Khorne-focus in End Times either - Tzeentch and Slaanesh got no units at all, and Nurgle only got some Special Characters and the Blightkings.

      I'm sure Mathias finds a neat solution. He hasn't disappointed me ever.

      Delete
    2. Bloodthirsters might get some similar upgrades, but there won't be 3 different version of them in the book though.

      Delete
    3. Will Greater Daemons of the other three Chaos Gods have such upgrades as well? I mostly ask because I have seen next to no 'upgrades' like those the Bloodthirsters get, and I think it would be a shame to give Khorne even more attention than he already has (which is more than the others by at least two bananas!)

      Delete
    4. They will probably work similar to Daemonic Gifts, so all gods should receive about the same attention. Khorne might get a little extra since he lacks wizard casters.

  34. Going through the 8th edition rulebook at all the things mentioned in the fluff but not featured in the rulebooks:

    Empire- Sky galleons of the gold order, mentioned on 3 separate occasions
    Clockwork angels and exploding flying machines
    Priests of Shylla and Taal, as both are mentioned a lot in the background. Shylla is more of an empire goddess in the fluff, i don't recall the brets ever worshiping her, and if so certainly not as much as the empire.

    Bretonnia- Otherworldly guardians, ghostly bowmen from ages past, the souls of long lost knights, and even the translucent spirits of the land itself.

    Dwarfs- War zepplins bristling with guns, steam powered war engines forged in the likeness of the ancestor gods, and the hissing, furnace hearted beasts made by the engineers of karak hirn. Also, ancestor weapons are being used more in the present age, runes of desperation are being struck, and the engineers are cranking out bigger and more untested devices of war. Perhaps this scan be represented by a few more magic weapon options, a few more master runes and the rulebook fluff units
    More weapon/gear options for master engineers

    Dark elves- Chimera, steel statues in the likeness of khaine powered by the souls of killers and bound by the sorcery of malekith

    Lizardmen- Nothing to add from rulebook that isn't already listed.
    Updated Sacred Spawnings for lizardmen like in 6th edition. Lizardmen can get specialized spawnings in the fluff, so it makes sense. My idea fro updated spawnings for each of the old ones:

    Sotek: +1ws, +1 attack on any round the unit/character charges
    Quetzl: scaly skin increased by +1
    Tlazcotl: Immune to psychology
    Chotec: Initiative increased by +1, Always strikes first
    Tepok: 6+ ward save
    Gor-rok: 3 wounds, ws 6
    Keep high magic! The Slaan are the ones who taught it to the high elves in the first place


    Chaos and skaven have enough as it is, and got just about everything mentioned here.

    Orcs and goblins have all extra units added in

    Cathay- Regiments of One horned ogres
    Tamurkhan also mentions Statues that swim through the ground as if it were water, and onyx "crow-men" which are apparently strong enough to lift a minotaur. The crow-men could be based on the morghasts in terms of stat lines

    1. I read about the Sky Galleons too, but I want the Arcane Battle Altars to work in a similar fashion. Also don't want to go overboard with crazy inventions.

      Shallya is mentioned a lot in the Knights of the Grail, she's the goddess of the peasant class. I will probably release rules for all Priests in the Empire expansion.

      Spirits of the Fey are already in the Bretonnia book ;)

      Dwarfs will get more zeppelins and ancestor golems. Might add some more engineer weapons too.

      DE will get Avatars of Khaine, Chimera will probably be kept in the WoC book though, since DE already have manticores.

      Sacred Spawning will be added, forgot to mention it in the original post :)

      Cathay as described in Tamurkhan is frankly a mess when it comes to the units described. Crow-men are Tengu, the ogres are Oni, (both Nipponese). The statues are probably some kind of Foo Dog, and Cathay already have Terracotta soldiers and the Brass Titan.

  37. Night Goblin Netters and Clubbers.

    Basic Mummies used to be part of the Undead Books, but were removed later. Maybe bring them back?

    Wood Elf Beast Masters and War Wain (not seen since the 3rd edition). I believe they also had bolt throwers. Then there were the Kinbads, Falconers, and Shapechangers.

    Dwarfs used to have Spearmen (or maybe they were pikes). The also had Gnome warriors, Mountainers, and Ski Troops (seriously, older versions of this game got weird).

    Bretonnians used to have cannons (called L'Ordonnance), Crossbowmen (called Arblastiers), and War Alters (though I think you included some form of alter in your version).

    Frog Swarms used to be a thing spellcaster units could summon.

    Dark Elf Whelp Masters.

    High Elf Sea Elf Wardancers, and Maiden Guards

    Orc Scabbies (Half-Orcs), and Lead Belchers (though I think this one may have been re-purposed as an Ogre unit)

    Slann used to be way different then they are now. Lizardmen could also include troglodytes and human slaves.

    Other: Chaos Goblins, Pygmies, Zoats.

    Really, just looking for discontinued units yields a bounty of strange, interesting, and eyebrow raising content (sometimes all three!). I hope these help in some small way, please keep up the great work! :)

  41. Perhaps, as a general thing, more unit Champions from Special/Rare choices could have access to a Magic Weapon for 25 points like so many already have?

    Quick suggestions could be Reikscaptains, Grave Guard Seneschals (and their Tomb Kings equivalent), the well-travelled Maneater Captains, some of the Wood Elves, WoC Chosen Champions, and the Black Orc Bosses. DoC Unit Champions such as the MC's you will add could have Daemonic Gifts.

    I find this reasonable, both for unit consistency (and customization!) and because many of the Champions have been around fluffwise, so it would make some sense for them to have stumbled upon a Magic Weapon of sorts. Of course some of my suggestions might be a little stretched, but the Maneaters for example have very good chances of finding nice things on their adventures.

    3. Sylvanian peasant levy are redundant since the Vampire Counts have plenty of more effective tarpits. Instead, make them humans in the special section with Weapon Skill 4, Leadership 8, Heavy Armor, Wight Blades and Immune to Psychology (from being around undead for so long). While the Undead under the command of the vampires lack the intelligence to engage in complex maneuvers and are unskilled and slow-witted in combat the human troops described have no such deficiencies (though aren't as strong or tough). In addition, the use of living cannon fodder contradicts their attitude which says "Why send a loyal peasant to his death when you can send a dead enemy back to kill his living friends?"

      I did, however, not like the changes to Magic in Khaine - neither the supercharged End Times Spells nor the Summoning Spells that let players field entire points' worth of new units.

      All in all I think Chaos and Undead got too many new toys in the End Times, and my wish would be to somehow revert those changes. But I have no doubt that Mathias will whip up something neat and awesome, as he always has!

    ReplyDelete
  57. Since you're moved the rulebook update to be before the empire update I have a few suggestions for the rulebook.
    *Make Magic Missiles dependent on ballistic skill for when they hit. Wizards can re-roll failed To Hit rolls with magic missiles.
    *Allow wizards who are lords to increase miscast rolls by 1 to represent their skill. It says on the table that skill can mean that a wizard manages to dissipate excess energy.
    *I understand removing all units automatically being able to fight in two ranks but keep the horde bonus. Maybe make it that it's dependent on how deep the ranks are instead of how wide. More than 5 ranks grants Fight in Extra Ranks once, more than 10 grants it twice and so on. What I'm suggested makes a bit more sense since the horde bonus is described as being due to the press of bodies.
    *Have Always Strikes First keep the re-rolls (make it non-universal for elves, only leave it with a few units like Phoeinix Guard, Witch Elves, Wardancers etc.).
    *Two models with Always Strikes Last that are fighting each other fight at normal initiative order. If a model with Always Strikes Last has lower initiative than its target it has to re-roll successful to hit rolls.
    *Make it that Always Strikes First and Last can stack. Stacking has no affect but if a unit has one instance of Always Strikes Last and two instances of Always Strikes First means that the model is only affected by Always Strikes First.
    *Killing Blow wounds automatically and ignores armour saves against things it won't automatically slay. Makes that rule remain useful against those targets.
    *Skirmishers can shoot in any direction and are not limited to only two ranks firing. They're distance from each other prevents them from getting in each others way. Same thing for lone characters.
    *Spears cause units charging the equipped target to the front have the Always Strikes Last special rule. This makes it more useful so make it a 1pt upgrade for units. I know you were originally intending for spears to increase initiative but all the extra reach should guarantee that the unit with spears get's the first blow. Make cavalry charging with a spear or lance negate the penalty.
    *Pikes instead always resolve their attacks before all enemy hits (including Impact Hits). Cavalry charging with a spear or lance do not negate the penalty unlike the spear.
    *If you're not going to lower the toughness of war machines then instead make it that shooting attacks can target war machine crew instead of the war machine. The crew count as being behind hard cover for the purposes of To Hit rolls.
    *Template scatter is reduced by 1" for each point of ballistic skill the firer has (unless the target is being fired on indirectly). Cannonball distance from the aimed point is also reduced in the same manner.
    *Make an allies matrix instead of the current Forces of Order, Forces of Chaos, Unalligned forces that is currently present.
    *Make Magic Missiles dependent on the ballistic of the caster. Magic Missiles are not affected by penalties for multiple shots, moveing and fireing and shooting at long range. In addition, make wizard Lords have +1 ballistic skill over their hero counterparts. By relation, Daemon Princes should start off a ballistic skill 3 and can exchange 1 WS for 1 BS up to three times. Doing so three times also reduces the number of attacks by 1.

    Replies
    1. Just pitching in here.
      Way i figure, Magic Missiles are guided when the spell is first cast, meaning that the Winds ensure the missile hits. Mechanically the casting roll is also the roll to hit, and I think the extra roll would decrease the value of Magic Missiles by a lot.

      I like you idea of a deep Horde Bonus, but it might affect the meta in a bad way (though I'm not at all certain) by having people fight in marching collums instead of battle ranks.

      I think Always Strikes First should be the way Mathias intends with no re-rolls, as speed and skill are very different things that do not necessarily depend on one another.

      Kiling Blow being triggered on hit would put it on odds with Poisoned Attacks, except for the insta-gib. I think it functions just fine as is.

      Allies Matrix and Template scatter are great ideas I think, though I think the armies should keep the labels of order/destruction to increase compatibility with other supplements where those things are sometimes relevant.

    2. - Magic missiles are already randomised, which is their equivalent of rolling to hit. Making them roll to hit after that would make them pretty much worthless.
      - That's not really how Horde works though, as demonstrated in black fire pass (or the battle of Cannae for historical references). Fighting in several ranks increases the press of bodies sure, but that's what rank bonus are for. Horde also makes spears a lot worse, and GW's and halberds a lot better, which they don't need to be due to stepping up. Besides, the weak troops that could make use of Horde often have spears already, so fight in +1 ranks compared to units without spears.
      - Not so sure that's a good idea, it would mean lords would just have it easier to spam a lot of dice without as many penalties. I've redone the miscast a lot so it's much fairer now.
      - Re-rolls from ASF will disappear completely, I'm considering scrapping the rule altogether and just make it an Init. bonus. Same with ASL.
      - I think KB works fine as it is now. The reason it ignores AS is because you are essentially cutting the guy's head off, in which case armour won't really help. If you can't decapitate your foe, you won't ignore his armour either.
      - The skirmish idea is great, consider it added!
      - I don't want spears to give an automatic ASF, some creatures (like elves) could still doge them and strike before the spearmen can react. That's why I prefer a straight a Init. bonus for simplicity. Same goes for pikes.
      - That kind of goes against the rules for shooting, randomising attacks would be better in that case.
      - That would make scatter rolls of 2 completely useless, and might make war machines too accurate. I think it's fine to only use BS when firing indirectly. Most WM's have BS3 already, so it won't really differ much between the armies.
      - I'll see about that, could probably make it similar to the To Hire chart for RoR's.

    3. In the case of Killing Blow, I meant to say that it works as current but against targets that it won't automatically slay it will ignore armour saves and wound regardless of toughness. Sorry for being unclear.

      In the case of Magic Missile hits being randomized as an equivalent of rolling To Hit, you could change the spells so that they fire a fixed amount of shots (the number of shots being the maximum possible number of shots from the old version).

    Also are you gonna change some special character? Thorgrim Grudgebearers axe get heavy nerfed last and would like bring back his axe was more smiliar as edition 6.

    Otherwise I like your job with Skaven and Beastmen book! :-)

    1. Hi, I will be making topics for each army when I start working on each book in more detail.

      I will be going through all the major complaints of the existing books and attempt to remedy them, so you are very likely to see some changes to the Anvil. As for Thorgrim's axe I can't make any promises, but I'll probably try to make it in line with something between the 6-8th ed books.

  61. The crazy idea anon here!
    Me have a question - in the year 2019 or the the year when you finally finish Warhammer Armies Project 9 Edition, what will you do next?
    What do you think of Dreadfleet and making your own version of it?
    If one day some gaming company would contact you for a permission to use your WAP books for a game - would you agree to provide information?

    1. I don't really know, grow potatoes maybe?
      I don't have any plans for Dreadfleet though, WFB is where I'm at.
      Well, if a company wanted to use some of my work in order to sell it for profit, I might agree to it for a part of the income. Otherwise I just do this for free.

    1. Best answer I can give is really "when it's done". I'm mostly finished with the BRB though.

  63. I don't remember seeing anything about Mammoths in here. Will Ogres have access to them? They are mentioned quite a lot in the current Army Book, and it's pretty obvious that they are used for war alongside Thundertusks and Stonehorns. They are also already in the Norse book, so you could just copy-paste the rules and maybe change the Howdah Crew to be just Ogre Riders.

    1. I don't think I will add Mammoths for OK since they already have Thundertusks and Stonehorns, but they probably be included for WoC.

    1. I considered it, but Drake Riders are extinct in the current background, that's why you have Dragon Princes on horses now.

    1. Not really, since he was not been part of the background for about 30 years now.

    1. Wouldn't re-roll to Wound make more sense in this case?
