Warhammer Armies: Estalia is under development!
Dogs of War might be put on hold for a moment (due to some news of a possible official list in the works), so for now I've turned my attention to Estalia. Estalia will, as one could guess, be based on the Conquistadors and the Inquisition, so no real surprises there. I have collected material all over the internet for the past few days, giving me about 100 pages to use as a basis for the list.
More updates will be posted in the future.

Norse 8th edition fixes
Norse have now gotten their final updates for 8th edition. These fixes just add unit types to the reference sheet and an updated "choosing your army" page.
Norse is now finished apart from any changes due to playtesting feedback.

Nippon updated to 8th edition
Nippon has now been updated to 8th edition. Very minor rules changes to bring the book in line with the current rules.
New units included:
- Tengu: mischievous birdmen, similar to Harpies.
- Red Devils: frenzied heavy cavalry with devastating charge, giving them 3 Strength 5 Attacks on the charge!
- Shrine of the Kami: Warshrine-like unit with stat-boosting abilities.
I have not trimmed down the timeline yet as I do not consider that being the most important thing at the moment. I hope to do that, and expand the bestiary entries sometime in the future, but this will do for now.

More army books?
For those of you wondering or hoping for more books in the future: yes, there will be at least 3 more.
I am planning on making army books for Dogs of War, Estalia and the Kingdoms of Ind at the moment, no release date set so far though.
These will commence writing sometime during the fall, have taken a shorter break to do updates for the older lists first. Rest assured, you can probably expect Dogs of War sometime before Christmas at least, probably a lot sooner.
