New Cathay and Nippon updates out now!
These updates makes the following rules changes for both armies:
- Emperor's Guard back to 11 pts (their extra Initiative combined with Halberds and Glory for the Dragon Emperor makes them on par with greatswords in combat)
- Fire Arrow nerfed to Strength 3, no armour piercing. 100 pts.
- Great Guard Imperial Armoury rule replaced with Impale Attack for Kirin, 60 pts.
The Nippon book now uses a new link (updated at the top and bottom of the page) since the old one bugged in Issuu (showing two Nippon documents instead of one).
Cathay:
- Cho Ko Nu 7 pts (they are way too spam-friendly to be 5 pts each)- Emperor's Guard back to 11 pts (their extra Initiative combined with Halberds and Glory for the Dragon Emperor makes them on par with greatswords in combat)
- Fire Arrow nerfed to Strength 3, no armour piercing. 100 pts.
Nippon:
- Katana allows models to re-roll 1's when rolling To Hit instead of +1 To Wound.- Great Guard Imperial Armoury rule replaced with Impale Attack for Kirin, 60 pts.
The Nippon book now uses a new link (updated at the top and bottom of the page) since the old one bugged in Issuu (showing two Nippon documents instead of one).

Support feature added
Seeing as there have been several people whom have been wanting to pay for these books (which was never the plan, and still isn't from my part), I have after much deliberation decided to add a support feature to the site, where you can donate through PayPal whatever amount you want.
As you can probably imagine, working on these books is both time consuming and also cost me a fair share of money in tracking down old White Dwarfs, WFRP source books, Army Books and so on, which are needed to update old units and extend the background sections of the books. I'm not asking for a hand-out since I do get by myself (though I'm hardly rich as a student), but if you feel like helping out, you now have the option to do so. Any donations received will strictly go towards being able to improve these books further in the future.
I would also like to yet again point out that the books consist of far from only my own material, and any donations should only be considered being for the work I do myself. As such, whatever you think these books might be worth to you, I would only give half or even a third of that, because I absolutely do not want any credit for material made by someone else, let alone be receiving money for it.
Regardless if you want to support the site or not, all books will still be freely available as before, and will be kept updated as usual. Thank you.

To Valhalla! Details for upcoming Warhammer: Norse!
Having finished (for the moment) exploring the mysterious East of the Warhammer World, it's time to go back to my own (former) culture: the Norse! I know I said that I would do Wood Elves after Cathay, but... VIKINGS! Okay?
This should be a reasonably quick update, since I won't have to rewrite whole chunks of fluff like with Cathay or Nippon. For the proper Norse 8th ed update you can look forward to:
- Extended background on Norsca.
- New units: Sons of Thor, Thralls, Slavers, Ulfjarls, Half Giants, Norse Horsemen. Norse Dwarfs will unfortunately disappear from the list for fluff reasons.
- New special characters.
- New Lore of the Seidr.
- Revised Magic Items.
- Lots of balance changes.
I hope to be finished with the book at the end of April, so check in then! Now to summon the power of Thor by playing Amon Amarth (look them up) all day!
Society - done.
The Tribes - done.
History - done.
Timeline - done.
Geography - done.
Bestiary - done.
Special characters - done.
Magic Items - done.
Spell Lore - done.
Army list - done.
Summary - done.
Update: Most of the book is finished now, still need to finish up the special characters though. I'm currently going through the main background text for Norsca and editing a lot of the grammar (which is sorely needed), so the new version should read a lot better in certain parts. If possible, I'll have the update out by tomorrow night.

Glory for the Dragon Emperor! Warhammer Cathay: Proper 8th ed update out now!
And not even halfway through April yet! I expected to be hunched over the background section for weeks, but fortunately, it worked out rather well a lot faster than that. This new and much improved version of Cathay includes the following:
- Additional background for Cathay's history. Every single official mention of Cathay is in there (as far as I know), and all dates are concurrent with the rest of the Warhammer World.
- New units: Field Engineers, Wu Xia and Brass Titans.
- New Special Characters: Tian Shi, Huan Bei, Chu-Ye Xian, Cheng Long and Dalan-Tai.
- New magic items.
- Completely revised Ying and Yan lore.
- Lots of balance changes to bring the army better into 8th ed.
- New full colour layout, filled with tons of new art.
- Bugs fixes, as usual.
Again, great thanks to Stefan Wolf who helped me with parts of the fluff, especially that of the special characters! And as usual, let me know of any bugs or other oddities. I shall now feast on toast to celebrate this joyous moment before passing out. Cheerio!

Development Update 2: Cathay
Figured I'd post how each section is progressing, so you can have a better idea of when it's getting closer to completion. Still a lot of work left to do, but it's moving forward!
Contents/credits - done.
History - done.
Timeline - done.
Society - done.
Geography - done.
Bestiary - done.
Special characters - done.
Art of War - done.
Magic Items - done.
Spell Lore - done.
Army list - done.
Summary - done.
Most of the Magic Items are completely new, and greater care have been given to the special characters this time around, of which there will be plenty of new ones to try out.
Update 1: Progress is going faster than expected! About the only real "hindrance" left is rewriting the history section (which is quite extensive). I haven't quite decided on just how long I will make it, but I will probably try to keep at 10 pages at most, which is on par with the official books. Getting a decent feel for China's history now, so I will hopefully be able to do this without hitting any blocks. If it goes well, I might have the book out in two weeks.
Update 2: History section is done! Became 15 pages, almost than twice as long as I had expected, but that's hardly a bad thing! Cathay now has a much more extensive history which details all Dynasties, unlike the old book which only detailed the first ones, a couple of battles and the Celestial Dragon. The background should be be 100% compatible with the rest of the Warhammer world, although I will have to rewrite a couple of dates in the Nippon book later.
Oh, and this is not an April's Fool's joke. I'm super cereal.
