Warhammer: Dark Elves 9th Ed out now!

Well, this is the first time in quite a long while since I've finished a book earlier than planned! Coming in at 194 pages, Warhammer: Dark Elves is a bit shorter than the High Elf book, but makes up for it with lots of hatred (and those Witch Elves ain't too bad either...). This book contain pretty much every fluff piece on Warhammer Dark Elves ever written, with over a dozen short stories and extended background compared to the main army books. Enjoy!

Retconned several retcons and otherwise poor 8th ed fluff additions:

• Malekith no longer sends away half his army at Finuval Plain, like he knows beforehand he is going to lose for no apparent reason (which is plain dumb).
• Morathi no longer acts like she has dementia and have the hots for Tyrion (instead of being the GoT Cersei of Warhammer doing anything for her son).
• Morathi no longer just captures Tyrion and the Blighted isle out of nowhere (really, we don't even get a description of how he was captured, only "she used magic, durr").
• The implied Oidipus relationship between Malekith and Morathi is back.
• Removed background on the assassins "sewing up their mouths and nailing their jaws shut" (exactly how are they supposed to eat then?).

And since people have been asking for it: yes, next up will be the 8th ed Ravening Hordes updates for Empire and High Elves. Wood Elves will take a bit longer to finish due to having a lot of editing left to do, it will most likely be out late April or May.

Warhammer 9th ed 1.074 out now!

This updates changes the following:

• Clarified that Standards stack from multiple units.
• All units in base contact counts when calculating Unit Strength, rather than just units that can be Steadfast. Clarified that disrupted units may not count their ranks in multiple combats.

• Signature spells can be cast multiple times in the same magic phase. 
• Life Leeching from Lore of Death only generates additional dice on a 6+.

• Multiple smaller bug fixes and changes for different terrain.

Donate button fixed

Just a quick heads up that the previous "Support" button has been changed to a clearer "Donate" button, with a link that now is in English (did not realise that it had apparently had been in Swedish for everyone it seems!). This also include a "monthly recurring" option since a few of you had asked if I had a Patreon account or similar, which was not the case back then.

So, if any of you felt like donating in the past and could not get past the Swedish donation page (in which case I don't blame you) it should now be easier to do so. Any donations to help me and the project keep going are much appreciated.

Warhammer: High Elves 9th Ed out now!

Clocking in at 222 pages, this is the second longest book I have finished. It contains pretty much every official source on High Elves ever written, combining both the reign of the Phoenix Kings as well as the full stories of Tyrion, Teclis, Eltharion, Imrik and Alith Anar, along with the Island of Blood and dozens of short stories. I've also extended all the background for the various units, giving them about 2 pages each compared to the half to one page they got in 8th ed, so there's a lot of new stuff to read if you haven't read all the previous books. In short (as usual), this would be your ultimate High Elves tome for Warhammer.
