Update: Decided to close to poll as I have gotten plenty enough votes now. 60% preferred 9th ed compared to 40% for 8th ed, so 9th ed seems to be a quite a bit more popular. As such, all books from now on will be updated in the 9th ed format, but 8th ed books will still get rules updates in a Ravening Hordes format so people who prefer 8th Ed can still keep playing it. I won't remove the 8th ed books for the time being as they are still updated, but in the next rotation they will be replaced with Ravening Hordes versions. Thanks for everyone who voted!
Up until this point, I have been trying to make two versions of each book, but I've realised that this is causing quite a lot of issues with making future updates that does not simply involve changing the rules, as I have to fix things like layout, artwork, text additions and spelling errors twice. On top of this, the amount of books to keep updated (around 60 with both versions) means I'm likely to run out of space on my Google Drive account soon.
As such, I've decided to only make a single version of each army book. I will still support both 8th and 9th ed with rules updates (one of them will get them in a Ravening Hordes format), but only one of the editions will get a full army book. Seeing as the books themselves are pretty similar, this should not be a huge issue since you can use one for reading and one for gameplay, but it will make it a lot easier for me to keep them updated.
However, I am as of yet undecided which edition should get the full version and which should get the "lite"-version. On my part it does not really matter since the background will be the same regardless, so in that regard I'd like to get some feedback from you guys which version you prefer. Just choose one of the options to the left of the webpage. After 20 days, I will close the poll and pick the edition with the most votes.
Welcome to the Warhammer Armies Project, the home of the unofficial 9th Edition for Warhammer Fantasy Battles and the most popular unofficial army lists online. It will gradually be updated with new books in a rules-only format. It also serves as my hobby blog for my personal Warhammer collection.
Seems like a good decision Mathias. Even one edition seems to me like a huge amount of work so...
ReplyDeletedo you plan to include the special characters to the ravening hordes?
ReplyDeleteYes, all rules from the army books will be made available in the Ravening Hordes version.
DeleteStick with the ninth edition.
ReplyDeleteThat's up the the majority to decide in this case, but as of right now, it does seem like 9th ed is more popular :)
DeleteYes please!
DeleteNinth for sure.
ReplyDeleteI hope you go with ninth too. There is a lot of good things in 8th edition for sure, but overall I like what you have done with the ninth edition better (apart from the idea that only the first rank gets to attack), which I've mentioned before, but I'll just house rule that to be one rank getting supporting attacks anyhow).
ReplyDeleteNinth makes the most sense.
ReplyDeleteClearly, seeing your effort and the changes made, Ninth for sure.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely prefer 9e! You have already started the hard work there and added new things to it that armies could utilize to make them more unique!
ReplyDelete8th pls
ReplyDeleteCan you give an example between the two versions ?
ReplyDeleteArtwork, layout for example you were planning for an Armybook ?
The full army book will look the same as it does now, the lite-version will look similar to the Ravening Hordes lists. The rules will be the same for both (just made for different editions).
DeletePlease keep the material for the 8 th!
ReplyDeleteWe have a 8Th fantasy comunity here on Brazil with around 20 peoples. We keep the 8 editon alive and your work is so important to us! You made a wonderfull job with the Armie projects e-book! We loved!
The rules for both editions will still be kept supported, the only difference will be that all background material would be moved to the 9th ed version, that's all.
DeleteBut the background will fit for both if I'm correct.
DeleteRight ?
Yes, the background for 8th and 9th ed is exactly the same, 9th ed is just a rules update to 8th.
Delete8th pls...
ReplyDelete8th please!
ReplyDelete9th Edition.
ReplyDeleteWe are working on 9th Edition for more than one year now. I hope you'll continue with 9th, as you've already improved the rules correcting bugs and nonsense rules from the 8th. Our community count around 20 players, and we are really glad if you continue on 9th edition books
ReplyDeleteOne Vote for 8th. Thanks for everything!
ReplyDelete8th Ed full books please. Seeing as most of the people I play against use this.
