Kingdoms of Ind news update

All right, so I'm back from London now, and as promised, I have gotten quite a bit of work done on the list while over there.

The Bestiary and army list are nearly finished, including special characters, and the magic items are well under way, and hopefully I can post the full, playable list next week. Note that this will only include the actual rules needed to play, and not the background for the Kingdoms of Ind themselves, which will be added at a later date. Still, I have a feeling most of you are probably looking forward more to the actual rules than reading walls of text ;)

So to summarize; be on the lookout for the Kingdoms of Ind (beta version) sometime during next week!

Cathay update released, Kingdoms of Ind news, and Warhammer World!

Apologies for my long absence, but other things has simply been prioritized for a while. I'm back with a little more work now, namely another Cathay update that fixes a couple of remaining 7th ed remnants and clarifications.

As for the Kingdoms of Ind, I'm afraid little progress has been made these last months, but there will be at least 2 units previously unmentioned, namely a Vimanas (basically a flying tank fortress) and a Beastmaster hero able to control jungle creatures like tigers and panthers. No release date so far though.

Lastly, I will be taking a trip to Warhammer World in Nottingham in less than a week, where I should have some time to do some writing as well as possibly finding some good source material and inspiration.

Warhammer Armies - Kingdoms of Ind under development!

So, as promised, some details on the Ind project. Finally got some of my groove back, which means I might actually be able to get a new book out soon!

The Kingdoms of Ind will feature a mix of human and deamonic units, which are essentially lesser deities. As such the list is mostly based on medieval India with lots of mythological units mixed in. If all goes well, I might have it finished by April.

Until then, the list of units, and the cover:

Lords:
Maharajah (fighter/support)
Eldritch Guru (wizard)
Greater Deity (Greater Deamon equivalent)

Hero:
Raja (fighter/support)
Mahasiddh/Guru (wizard)

Core:
Peasant Levy (spears, slings, javelins)
Nayar Warriors (spears, swords, shields, LA)
Mahratta Archers (long bows)
Tiger Cultists (frenzy, 2HW)
Avar Horseman (mounted, spears, shield, LA, bows)
Khurdeshi Stalkers (skirmish, bow, scout)

Special:
Fel Guard (halberd, light armour, stubborn)
War Elephants (in units)
Royal Chariots (chariot)
Dvarapala (daemon, very heavily armoured infantry)
Kalites (daemon, lots and lots of Attacks)
Rakshasa (daemon, skirmish, hardhitters)
Garuda (daemon, flyer)

Rare:
Naga (daemon, ogre size)
Basilisk (monster)
Royal War Elephant (bigger elephant)

Warhammer Armies - Halflings postponed

Unfortunately you Halfling fans will have to wait a while longer, as I have more or less hit a writer's block on the subject. The book will be finished eventually, but for now I aim to work on the Kingdoms of the Ind for a while to "get back into shape" after my break. More details on Ind will follow soon.

In other news, Kislev has unfortunately been removed from Scribd.com, but is still available from 4shared.com as usual.

Warhammer Armies - Halflings is under development!

Apologies for my slow updates of late, have been doing some other stuff than working on rules for the past weeks (namely work and a load of computer games), but I aim to get back to the drawing board soon to bring you the next book in the series, the Halflings!

I have been able to acquire both Citadel Journal #36 and #10, as well as finding a lot of other sources which gives me a decent amount of material work with. Warhammer Armies - Halflings will be the shortest book (both in terms of pages and the size of the book's subject!), but should come in at a handy 40-50 pages nonetheless. It is more meant to be used as an Allied Contingent rather than as a stand alone army (at least if you are hoping of winning with them!) but it will be field-able as both.

I have about half the book done so far, and won't be putting a release on it any time soon, but rest assured, it's in the works. Until then, I'll give you the full units list, as well as the cover picture:

Updates for books uploaded!

I took longer than expected, but I've finally managed to post all the updates (apart from the Dogs of War book, which I need to inquire with my co-writers).

Minor changes for most, a bit of tweaking with points cost and fixing wording on the rules. Albion has seen a few changes with updating magic items to 8th edition, Norse has gained a new special character, a boost to the Berserkers and a rewording on the shieldwall.
Amazons and Estalia have gained mostly points tweaks, especially Estalia should hopefully have the Inquisitorial powers sorted out now for better balance.
Araby has gotten some changes to the Genies (yet again), and they should now be more worth taking with a boost to their Wishes rule.
Nippon has seen the biggest changes, Way of the Warrior works very different, as do the Katana, they have options for Sashimonos, Hatamoto has gained a WS boost, Red Devil can now take Horo Cloaks for missile protection, Warrior Monks can re-roll to to hit and to wound, the Shrine of the Kami has gained a 4+ Ward and the Ronin also have the Way of the Warrior rule now

Note that apart from the Albion book, only Scribd have the latest version, I'll upload the new versions to 4shared soon.

There are probably more changes that I have missed, but that should be the biggest ones. So just keep playtesting and let me know of anything else I might have missed or changes you'd like to see, and I'll see what I can do about it :)

For now, I am planning to take a break for a while, but aim to be back with Warhammer Armies - Halflings by early 2011, so stay tuned!

Massive Updates Planned

Well, not as much massive as all-encompassing. Updates for all the books, fixing bugs, 7th edition remnants and points costs will be out soon.
