Amazons 1.4 (beta) out now!

Another update fairly long in the making, Amazons have now received quite a few new toys to play with! This includes monstrous units, more magic items (many thanks to Marppuli on our Discord server for helping out to create many of them!) and combat drugs to give them more hitting power, while their High Age artifacts are a bit more limited and weaker and penetrating armour to balance it out better. Both Piranha and Eagle Warriors have been moved to the special section being elite units, and replace the Koka-kalim both in lore and rules. Hope you enjoy it, and thanks to my Patreons as usual!

Daemons of Chaos 1.6 (beta) out now!

That took a bit longer than planned, which is hardly a surprise to people that have been following the pretty long discussions on the Discord server! This ended up being a much larger update than just adding a few new units, with changes to their army special rules and the inclusion of a ton of new Magic Items, Daemonic Gifts and new units. I have also sorted the army list by God allegiance rather than just unit type to make it easier for mono-god players to find their units. This list also includes all magic items and special characters that were previously in the expansions. Anyway, hope you enjoy the rules so far, and huge thanks to the Patreon supporters who inspire me to keep me going!

This update changes the following:
