Expansion plans

Update: Thanks for the feedback everyone! I don't have time to answer all individually, but I've updated this list with the suggestions I either forgot or that I think I can do justice. Some of the other suggestions will be likely be included in the various army books, and as such they are not featured here.

As this is something that often pops up, I'd like to get some opinions on what expansions you would like to see in the future. Expansions will be smaller releases that will contain some background on the subject, as well as some new units that can either be included in their main army or as a stand-alone force. Currently, I have plans for the following releases, sometime after I finish the main books:

  • Gnoblar Hordes - updated version of the White Dwarf list with more units.
  • Fimir - updated version of my old Fimir book, but with only the essential units and some basic fluff.
  • Champions of Chaos - a compilation of all Chaos special characters (too many to include in the WoC book)
  • Border Princes - smaller army list that allows you to make a combination of Bretonnia/Empire/Dogs of War with some new unique units.
  • Priests of the Old World - rules for priests of all the gods in the Empire.
  • Khorne - rules for including models from Battletome: Bloodbound in Age of Sigmar.
  • Tzeentch - rules for including models from Battletome: Disciples of Tzeentch in Age of Sigmar.
  • Steam Tanks - rules and background for alternative Steam Tank builds. 
  • Dark Shadows -  a re-release of the background (and maybe rules) from the 6th ed campaign.
  • The New World -  a re-release of the background (and maybe rules) from the 6th ed campaign.
  • Storm of Chaos -  a re-release of the background and variant army lists from the 6th ed campaign.
  • The Nemesis Crown -  a re-release of the background (and maybe rules) from the 7th ed campaign.
  • Skirmish Rules - updated rules and scenarios for Skirmish from 6th ed.
  • Warbands rules - updated rules from 6th ed.
  • Path to Glory - updated rules from 6th ed.
  • Scenario Pack - compilation of all Scenarios published in White Dwarfs and campaign books.
  • Campaign packs - a re-release of the background (and maybe rules) from the 5th ed campaign books Perilous Quest, Grudge of Drong etc.
  • Magic Items - a compilation of magic items from previous editions that did not make it into the 8th ed cut.
  • Army of the Cairns - updated rules of the 6th ed list.
  • Zombie Pirates - updated rules of the 6th ed list.
  • Civil War - rerelease from 8th ed.
  • Sigmar's Blood - rerelease from 8th ed.
  • Hinterlands of Khuresh - smaller list of the race of Blood Nagas (maybe).
  • Mordheim Characters -  Warhammer rules for the Dramatis Personae.
  • Warhammer Siege - updated rules from 5th/6th ed. 
  • Monstrous Arcanum - compilation of the monsters that does not fit into the various army books.
  • Special Characters - updated rules of the special characters that won't make the 8th ed cut.
  • Stormcast - Warhammer rules for the models from Age of Sigmar (maybe), for people who want to be able to use the models. I'm not going to try and shoehorn them into the Warhammer World, merely make rules to make them compatible with 8th and 9th ed.
  • Ancient Warhammer: Army lists for Nehekhara, Tylos, Remas, Sigmar's Tribes etc.

Anything I missed that you want to see included?

  1. and new black orcs??? (ironjaws)??? will be included in OaG army book on not?

    1. Some of them likely will be yes. It's possible I will make rules for the other units that do not fit in with the O&G as a separate release.

      Delete
    2. I think Brutes (aka Black orc brutes with warchanter- their musician) may fit, weirdnob shaman is still Shaman, gore gruntas are awful and megaboss......mayby evloution of black orc warboss ????

      Delete
    3. Megabosses are nothing more than renamed Black Orc Warbosses (a large number of supposedly new units in AoS are nothing more than renamed versions of old WH units if you look carefully enough). Maw-krushas are the one that really needs rules.

      And then there are the Crypt Flayers and courtiers (from the Flesh-Eater Courts battletome), the Varanguard and new Dorghar (Everchosen), Frostlords and Huskards (Beastclaw Raiders), Wardokks (Bonesplitterz) and Spider-Goblins (Silver Tower), as well as the Sylvaneth Branchwych (maybe not different enough from Branchwraiths), Spite-Revenants, Kurnoth Hunters, and possibly Tree-Revenants (which might be too similar to Treekin).

    4. I cannot wait for the Gnoblar Hordes! This was my favorite army.

      Delete
  2. Well, looking back to an older post you made about future, smaller books:

    - Tilean Mercenaries?

    - Border Princes: Balkan, Byzantine and Greek units?

    - Marienburg?

    - Dwarf Slayers from SoC?

    - Army of the Cairns?

    - Cult of Slaanesh?

    - Zombie Pirates?

    - Hinterlands of Khuresh? (pretty please :D)

    - Pigmies?

    - and lastly Fishmen?

    Cheers and keep up with the amazing work you're doing!

  4. I like the look of all of those, but I'm especially excited about the Champions of Chaos, Priests of the Old World, and the Disciples of Tzeentch. Oh, so many great units, so much wonderful fluff, so little time!

  5. South Pole good Arctic Skaven Penguin Seals Inuit based people

    ReplyDelete
  6. Definitely a good set of expansions, I have a real soft spot for the storm of chaos army lists particularly, the slayer army and the cult of slaanesh lists, I've even started converting the slayer list to ninth ed using your dwarfs ravening hordes so I can make use of the excellent slayer models from Avatars of War. That said if you do create a slayer list, don't bother including units from AoS Fyreslayers because both the models and the fluff for them are just plain ugly.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Well, I have alot of books and articles about Mordheim (both official and unofficial).
    So if you plan to do it, I can send you those.
    Keep up your hardwork btw

    ReplyDelete
  8. Is it too much to ask for Stormcast, Fyreslayers, the updated flesh eater courts stuff, iron jaws, and the other sylvaneth stuff?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I think he's said some of the iron jaws units will be incorporated into orcs and goblins, flesh eater courts aren't really needed since they are just strigori vampires all their units appear in his ravening hordes vampire counts and will probably be expanded in the main book, Sylvaneth units fit well with wood elves so I can see some of their units being incorporated there. Stomcast could have their place in a re-written end times setting (with them being a force forged by sigmar to take on chaos directly) but if so that's along way off if it were to ever happen, I'd vastly prefer he focus on the fantasy armies that people love before trying to incorporate the new stuff. I'm personally biased against fyreslayers because I think both their models and their lore are ugly as sin but that very much a personal opinion. If you want stuff like that there's nothing stopping you writing you're own rules for it, fantasy has been abandoned by GW so nothing is official anymore.

      Delete
    2. But the thing is I wouldn't even know where to start with it.

      Like I could see them being spawned from a faction of dwarves that followed Ungrim after he became Incarnate of Fire during the End Times

  10. I'd like to see Fimir get an update.

    I have to say, I've just stumbled onto this and it's a great resource for Fantasy players and looks like years of hard work.

    I was just wondering if you continue to update the 8th edition books?

  11. special characters for all factions

    ReplyDelete
  12. Just to start I will indicate the following:
    1) Border princes
    2) priests of the Old World
    3) Nemesis Crown.

    And thanks as usual for the amazing work!

    ReplyDelete
  13. I have split my orcs and goblins into many many smaller tribes, (my largest force) each tribe being a 1000 Pts. Most tribes have something a little different. I have all the obvious groups but also snotlings and swamp goblins, fire goblins, frost goblins etc. An important unit are bestuns which is basically a better goblin, to be an elite unit in an army without orcs, very helpful in common goblin armies. Higher WS, I, Ld and better equipment. So basically an orc and goblin tribe expansion, like the bloodline themes in the back of the old vampire book, if you restrict your force in one area, you access these new units. Happy to share the full set of units if you interested

    ReplyDelete
  14. I know this isn't on that list, but would you consider adding Warhammer: Siege to the pile some day as well?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I was also thinking about this but maybe it wasn't included because he might put it in the main rulebook?

      Delete
    2. I would also love to see a siege rules supplement!

      Delete
  15. Have you considered looking at building lists, etc for war machines, monsters, characters, magic etc for combat at Storm of Magic/Monstrous Arcanium level? I started looking at this type thing a while ago but never seem to be able to find the time to get very far - thats why I'm in awe of what you've achieved on this site. Keep up the Amazing work

    ReplyDelete
  16. Would like to see a Troll King army list, perhaps including chaos goblins.

    Any chance of rules for Half-orcs, maybe as a border prince unit?

    Or Gnomes as Dwarf allies?

    ReplyDelete
  17. Outside of the current ones I'd suggest the following:
    - Army of the Lichemaster
    - Zombie Pirates
    - Pygmies
    - Variants of the current army lists (like Dragon Isles Lizardmen or Hell Pit Skaven, in the same format as 40k's Traitor Legions supplement)
    - Something related to the Dread Hosts from Tamurkhan
    - Fortifications (something like the Stronghold Assault expansion for 40k)

    ReplyDelete
  18. You don't have enough on your plate already Mathias? :-P

    The strongest themed lists I think could be made, that would fit the setting and be playable, and also add diveristy I think are the following:

    -Cult of Slaanesh
    -Legions of Nagashizzar (think pre-Nagash army list, where Arkhan is secretly preparing for the return of Nagash, experimenting with necromancy, collectiong corpses, secretly rebuilding the armies of Nagashizzar etc..)
    -Some more diversity to the idea of the various Vampire Bloodlines, which could aslo feature the fleet of Luther Harkon as a limted kind of list

    ReplyDelete
  19. hej mathias,have you considered to give kislev cannons?
    it´s odd that they have none since kislev has close relationship to the empire and is trading with dwarfs as well.
    they have a serious problem against monster/chariot spam.
    hags with the possibilitiy for shadow and death?

    ReplyDelete
  20. Please don't cut the Fimir list down too much, I really like the previous army list

    I would also like to see the return of the Zoat, perhaps as a Wood Elf Hero/Rare 0-1

    Not too sure about adding stuff from AoS - I guess deamons are OK as they can come in many forms anyway

    Seige would be good

    Perhaps a Kuresh list.

    Return of Gnomes to the Dwarf list?

    ReplyDelete
  21. The Steam Tanks - why not add to that also alternative designs for the rest of the Imperial stuff - cannons, magic chariots, etc.

    As for Age of Sigmar, it's totally your decision, but why make a separate tome, if you can just create "the Devoted of Chaos" or something and add the human followers to it, while the new demons go the the Demons of Chaos?

    ReplyDelete
  22. Rules for a Sky-Titan or a band of giants.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Personally I favor doing something with the Age of Sigmar models. As moronic as the system and questionable as the lore are, they really are good models and would be nice to be usable.

    ReplyDelete
  24. If you are (maybe) going to make rules for Stormcast to allow people to play them with the 8th/9th ed rulesets (without shoehorning them to the Warhammer world), then you might also do the same thing to Fyreslayers too.

    And I think the correct name for Kemmler's list is 'Army of the Lichemaster', not 'Army of the Cairns'.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I would love to see some sylvanian human units somewhere!

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Yeah, absolutely

      Delete
    2. Not a full army book but maybe a list or added to the VC army list?

      Delete
  26. I think if you were doing Stormcast they would make Good Daemons of Law , like an Angelic Host of Arianka

    ReplyDelete
  27. YaaaaaY!!!!!! This all sounds so great! Also will you make a storm of magic something with cataclysm spells for armies project lores? Also anything from warhammer great war? Thank you for all your splendid work!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Hello Mathias. Basically, everything including lore and rules for units are exciting to me (adapted canon, especially the priests, or invention of yours, like Khuresh (?) )
    Campaigns and scenarii are less important to me. Your work is truly amazing and invaluable to passionates.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Could we add a Marienburg army list ? :)))))
      And Warhammer Historical sounds pretty amazing too. We could remake ancient's Warhammer World civilisations armies (Nehekhara with egyptians, Reman empire with romans) in addition of true historical wargames.

    1. Maybe, but I personally wasn't that big a fan of the whole monsterbinding, just seemed like an ecuse for GW to sell more monsters.

  30. Steam Tanks - rules and background for alternative Steam Tank builds.
    YAY
    Historical - basic army lists for various armies that do not fit into the Warhammer World, but that people have requested to be playable with warhammer rules (such as Romans, Greeks, medieval kingdoms etc.).
    any chance of WW1/2 rules?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. WWI/WW2 would be better adapted from 40k than fantasy imo. Or just play Flames of War.

      Delete
  31. Skirmish, then Warbands, then Siege, then everything else.

    Some of us simply don't have a large enough collection of minis in a single faction to field a full sized army.

    Skirmish rules, to me at least, are key.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Are you including any of the Forge World stuff? (Just Curious)

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Yes, many of their units will be present in the full army books.

  33. Can you tell me who are the cairns please?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I believe they were an army in an old campaign book, based around Heinrich Kemmler and his army of wights.

      Delete
  34. Only marginally related, but would you consider adding in Arcanadons/Thunder Lizards to Lizardmen? Or some sort of rapter Warhound/light cavary-esque unit? The Lizardmen book has always seemed pretty bare units-wise to me compared to other armies, and they could use a few more unit choices.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. They have the dread saurian that kind of fulfill the giant lizard role now, so I'm not so sure they need any more monsters. The latter did not have that much in terms of background to start with.

      Delete
  35. Another suggestion: Retro-Army Lists?

    Beasts of Chaos/Hordes of Chaos/Realm of Chaos/Undead/Slann?

    ReplyDelete
  36. One more: Rules for substituting beasts/monsters into different roles/lists.

    night goblin Squig chariots; Spider chariots, Off-List Griffons, etc.

    They can be good to make your army (or a hero within it) stand out compared to others, and using the unusual beasts in your army, where rules already exist for them in another army, is much more satisfying than "counts as a horse".

  38. I would love to see a alliance table (is that what it's called?) for your expansions

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. You can see what alignment each army has in left header of this page, so they use the normal rules after that.

      Delete
    2. The problem with the overly simple Forces of Order/Destruction system is that it fails to reflect the actual relations between, say, the Vampires and any Chaos faction (who despise each other in the fluff but can ally perfectly well in the crunch). I think OP meant a proper allies chart like in 40k.

      Delete
    3. Like 40k's alliance tables? Here's something I slapped together one day while bored.

  39. And also do you not include the legendary lords in your ravening hordes lists?

    Replies
    1. They will be present in the full army books, ravening hordes are just the basic lists.

      Delete
  40. Two army books that I would certainly be interested in seeing would be:
    -Fishmen
    -Daemons and Worshipers of Malal (there actually exist some daemons that belong to Malal, such as the Hook Horrors, Maidens of Malal, and the Guardians of Contradictions https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Forces_of_Malal )

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Maidens of Malal is not "official" purely fanmade. Guardians of Contradictions is not official name of the Tony Ackland concept.

      Delete
    2. Fishmen *might* happen (I do happen to have the basics of an army book for them), but Malal has pretty much been completely ret-conned at this point, so it's not something I'm really planning on expanding upon at the moment.

      Delete
    3. Thank you so much for your reply!

      Although I do feel that a fishman race would be something very interesting see in some shape or form, I do agree with you on the subject of Malal. However, I do have a question regarding Age of Sigmar.

      On your list of expansion plans that you were planning to include rules for including models from Bloodbound and Disciples of Tzeentch, and was curious if, with the AoS daemons/followers of chaos, you were planning to add those into divided armies themed off of the Chaos Gods. For example; the Bloodbound roster would be merged with Khorne's daemons, making one big roster. As well Tzeentch and the new daemons/units that were introduced in his Battletome. And if you plan on doing this, do you also plan to do the same with Nurgle and Slaanesh, if new units are revealed for them in AoS?

  41. would love to see a Border Prince's expansion; always been bits and pieces floating around the web; but it has never been compiled in one place


    The historic idea is also great

  42. Oh my god, zombie pirates are actually a thing? That's hilarious and awesome. Please tell me there's a hero character who's like a zombie black beard!

    ReplyDelete
  43. The Beastmen are your next planned update so I'm wondering if you're going to include things from Total War: Warhammer into that army. It won't be much but here's the list:
    *Centigors may replace their Spear and Shield with a Great Weapon.
    *Ungors become 3pts each, start with a Hand Weapon, may take a shield and may take a spear. Spear is free, shield is not.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. On an unrelated note, Whips tend to count as a second hand weapon in a lot of cases so I think Khazrak's whip should count as an additional hand weapon when its isn't used to make a special attack.

      Delete
    2. Gorthor should wear Medium Armor. He didn't have armor because it wasn't possible to field him on foot which has changed.

      Delete
    3. - Beastmen have so many GW units already, so I don't think that's necessary. They don't have the models for it either anyway.
      - Ungors should always have shield imo, it fits with their cowardly nature.
      - Maybe, I'll look into it.
      - Neither the artwork nor the model depicts Gorthor with armour, so this would not really fit.

      Delete
  44. I'm okay with whatever you decide to include as long as the Marienburg Landship is among the empire units. As well as the Dwarf airship for the dwarfs.

    A question, if I may ask, is if you are going to add units from Total War to your Bretonnia?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I would prefer an entire mini-list for Marienburg, don't you ? :o
      There are already Forge World models for Mannan's Blade for example.

      Delete
    2. If I make a list for marienburg, the landship will definitely be included. At the least, I will include its rules as a separate download for the Empire.

      Looking the total war roster for Bretonnia, I would say no, as they practically added nothing new except the squires, which already can be made with the foot knights. However, I will add some other units that are not part of total war ;)

  45. I STRONGLY believe that this project should avoid ALL things AoS. This project is the last true bastion of Warhammer Fantasy and should resist the taint of AoS at all costs.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. It will only be a quickset of warhammer rules for the models in case people feel like playing them, they are not becoming a part of the warhammer world.

      Delete
    2. Just because AoS itself is a poor excuse of a wargame doesn't mean that everything associated with it is bad as well. For one thing, the Khorne and Sylvaneth minis are top notch and it'd be a waste to have to use them via the 'counts as' rule.

      Delete
  46. I feel gnoblars should ride glyptodons, themic, gives excellent armour saves, and the models would be sourceable... 2 per glyptodon, M3 tanks :-)

    ReplyDelete
  47. I had an idea for the Border Princes, their units being made up of warriors across the old world who have started experimenting with new styles and combat techniques; for example:

    A groups of exiled Bretonnian knights who suffered a devastating defeat to Imperial handgunners lead to them learning to use guns in combat, or perhaps disgruntled elementists who moved from the empire to the BP's, elven mercenaries with emphasis on heavy armour, etc.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Here are some suggestions:
    *Add a rule that allows models to ignore the 'no more ranks than there are files' rule so that terrain won't buttfuck them when they need to move through a very narrow space or something.
    *The real life Basilica cannon was massive! It should be an immobile cannon with the same statline and shot power as the Hellhammer cannon used by the Pirates of Sartosa.
    *There are some advantages to forgoing a shield and only wielding a single hand weapon that aren't represented on the tabletop. Perhaps represent this by having models that are armed with only a hand weapon able to use it in two hands, granting the Parry (6+) and Armor Piercing special rule. Add daggers or something to represent small weapons that can't be used in two hands to gain the bonus. This would also require reducing the cost of a lot of weapon options and such.

    1. -Currently, the only unit with immunity to Poisoned Attacks are Ogre Slaughtermasters and Butchers. This doesn't make much sense. There is a big difference between ingesting a poison and it getting into the blood stream and poisons have a massive variety, making it near impossible to gain immunity to all of them. I suggest making Immunity (Poisoned Attacks) only be possessed by things that do not have a nervous system. Skeletons, Steam Tanks, Ethereal units and the assorted Golems should be the only units that are Immune to Poisoned Attacks and nothing else. Chariots aren't immune since the crew and beasts are exposed enough for poison to have an effect.

      Delete
    2. With terrain I would already allow units to be deeper than they are wide when they need to cross a bridge or something like that. Its very hard to get stuck on a bridge and turn it into some kind of advantage anyway, since you are very predictable and can't easily support other units. The unit should also reform at the end of the bridge as soon as possible. A possible negative modifier of some kind could be a motivator also, such as being unable to pursue and/or charge.

      With regards to poison, its a really difficult issue. Some armies can invest a lot in the ability to use poison and can be at serious disadvantage when facing armies that SHOULD be fully immune, such as the undead. That was a problem in the past. That said, the current system is still unsatisfactory, and it can be argued that any army can be at a disadvantage against undead, due to particular setups (fx many abilities and effects neutralised by Immunity(Psychology).

    3. -One last note, not all flying units should have the same speed. They should have Two movement values, a ground value and a flying value. Birds, Terradons and Ripperdactyls would be the fastest, having both Movement 10 and Fast Cavalry. Pegasus, Royal Hippogryphs, Wyverns, Bats and Gyrocoptors would be just as fast but less maneuverable, possessing M10 but no Fast Cavalry. Dragons, Griffons, non-royal Hippogryphs, Gyrobombers, Manticores, Vargheists, Terrorgheists and other such units would be M9, being built differently or very large causing them to be slow. The Slowest at M8 would be units like Harpies, considerably unaerodynamic and possessing a human build makes flying difficult for them.

      Delete
    4. - Sure, I can add a paragraph about this, no problem.
      - This is mentioned in the fluff, but they make smaller cannons now, since the basilica cannon is really hard to bring with you on campaigns, much like the field trebuchet is a smaller version of a regular trebuchet.
      - This makes sense, but there are very few units that wield only HW's and would be able to make use of that rule. Most of them wield smaller hand weapons that are not really meant to wield in 2 hands.
      - This makes sense too. I will look into adding "Immunity (Poison)" to these types of units. It's true that some armies will lose out on their poisoned attacks this way, but as Ravendark also mentioned, so does armies that rely on psychology attacks.
      - Adding separate flying movement values would be a pretty big change that's hard to remember. I'll consider it, but it's not a priority.

      Delete
    5. -Infantry, Cavalry and War Beasts have an upper wound limit of 3. The next higher weight class, Monstrous Infantry, Monstrous Cavalry and Monstrous Beasts start at this upper limit and then can go up to a limit of 5 wounds. Monsters are a size class higher and because of that, I think that they should have 5 Wounds at a minimum simply because it makes sense for something that is of a higher weight class to start at or beyond the upper limit of resilience compared to what's below it.

    1. So much. Difference them of Ungors by adding some random in their pattern ? (to represent the wide varieties of mutations)

      Delete
    2. I considered this in the last beastmen update, but according to the fluff, many mutants become ungors anyway, so it seemed superflous to add another unit with pretty much the same stats. A random table similar to the forsaken could possibly work though.

      I will look into it, but no promises.

  50. Mutation Table is a good idea.

  51. Hiya, definitely looking forward to any fimir update, as I've contacted you about previously. I've played with your old army book, but also tinkered with that for 8th edition to try out some different rules and costings.

  61. It would be intersting to include an "Ancestrals Army List:
    - A blackground based in their persepctive (history, abilities and names of ancestrals which made a lot of influence in the warhammer world such as sotek, winds of magic, etc.) creations, experiments, travels, enemies (maybe orcs who appeared from nothing in the warhammer world)
    - Their relationships with their creations (grand slanns) and their teachings.
    - An army list about a Survival ancestral since the Break-warped-accident in the Warhammer World. This list could include "ancestral or kinds of them", machines, little space ships, etc.
    - This codex may relate with actual blackground (these ancestral could came back after a disaster battle in the world like a Storm o Chaos. On the other hand, they could be called by slan, etc).
    I hope you enjoy this idea.

    ReplyDelete
  62. One Idea that I'm considering doing myself at some point Mathias, is Mousillon. It could be cool to have a small, corrupt province that was forced to field a sort of coalition army of Blood Dragons, Necromancers, Ghouls, Plague Zombies, Fallen Knights, Mercenaries, Downtrodden Peasants, Brigands, etc.. Basically a mix of undead and living, all combined by the scheming Maldred etc...

    But for this to work, How Vampire characters interact with units etc needs some rework, to make them go with both the living and the dead, but I have already suggested a fix for this on the forum earlier. :-)
