Warhammer: Skaven 9th Ed 1.32 out now!

Updated 13th August:

• Rat Ogre Bonebreaker W3, A4, 75 pts (it was frankly ridiculously cheap for its stats, on par with a Griffon at barerly a third of the cost).
• Hell Pit Abomination will only need to roll on the berkserk chart on a double 1 or double 6 (I was way off on the math regarding the chance of going berserk on any doubles), W6, 250 pts.
• Brood Horror has Poisoned Attacks by default, S5, can take upgrades from Monstrous Arcanum, 150 pts.

Updated 1st August:

• Fixed bug with clanrat spears cost.
• Fixed special rules bug for Brood Horror as a mount.
• Vermin Lords have Doomglaive by default, no longer mandatory to upgrade.

I decided to hold off on the new layout, art and background for now, and publish the latest (and much needed) rules update earlier instead, which means I will be able to finish the remaining army books sooner. Once Daemons of Chaos are finished, Skaven will get a new graphical upgrade.

The Skaven book was rightly criticized for several issues, mainly oversights on my part, that needed addressing. As such, this update changes the following:

• Warp Lightning Cannons functions the same as 7th ed.
• Hell Pit Abomination will need to roll for Berserk on the roll of any double again (so a bit more risky). This means you are likely to roll a double around 1 time per game, (as you probably won't be moving every single turn to begin with) though only 50% of the time it will actually be a real drawback (as in, not moving, or moving backwards). Feed does not Ignore Armour saves. Flailing Fists no longer gives -1 to Hit, is Random Attacks (2D6) instead of 3D6. Avalanche of flesh gives the Abomination Random Attacks (D6) instead of an improved Stomp. Can take Warpstone Spikes upgrade. Removed Impact Hits, 225 pts.
• Brood Horror no longer has Stubborn, Poisoned Attacks or Regen (as none of these things are ever described in the fluff, nor do they really make much sense for what is essentially a Monster-sized Giant Rat), WS3, 175 pts. The previous version was really underpriced (based on Forge World's rules minus the impact hits).
• Weeping World Sores is a large template that scatters.
• Verminlords can be taken without a Grey Seer.
• Grey Seer 220 pts.
• Warlock Master 160 pts.
• Night Runners have a Unit Size of 10+, are not skirmishers by default. Have the Strength in Numbers special rule.
• Screaming Bell's Deafening Peals only affect units within 12". This makes it more balanced in bigger battles, and makes the risk of blowing up your own war machines less likely (given that you attempt to march the Bell into the enemy's side of the battlefield at least).
• Giant Rats 4 pts (meaning they no longer are much better slaves at only +1 pt).
• Eshin Sorcerers may be upgraded to level 2 wizards.
• Clarified Storm Banner a bit better so that cannons and the like that attempt to fire while within 24" of the banner must roll a 4+. Cannons outside the storm banner's range can still fire onto units that are within the storm as normal (which makes sense, as a cannon ball really isn't going to alter it's course that much due to the wind).
• Doomwheel gets Impact Hits (D6) like a normal chariot. Only rolls one artillery dice for the bolts. Each bolt causes Multiple Wounds (D3) instead of D6. This makes it somewhat safer to use, but less deadly.
• Wolf Rats 8 pts, can take various upgrades.
• Plague Furnace wrecker attack is no longer a Stomp, instead works like in 7th ed, but only to the unit's front.

This should address pretty much all criticism I found from the previous book. Warp Storm and Cloud of Corruption are still very similar (both based on official spells), but they are in different lores, and as such can be taken by different wizard. The Hell Pit Abomination has been nerfed yet again, but it's somewhat cheaper now.

Warhammer: High Elves 1.1, Dark Elves 1.1 and Wood Elves 1.12 out now!

Note: these updates are for the 9th ed books.

This update changes the following for High Elves:

• Added Elven Grace army special rule (6+ parry).
• Removed "Shadow of the Nagashizzar" from the background section, as this cuts off mid-battle and the story is not resolved until the End Times.
• Silver Helms 24 pts.
• Dragon Princes 29 pts.
• Warriors with additional hand weapons can skirmish.
• Warriors with shields can upgrade to medium armour.

This update changes the following for Dark Elves:

• Added Elven Grace army special rule (6+ parry).
• Witch Elves 9 pts.
• Cold One knights 33 pts. 
• Bloodwrack Medusa has a spear, does not suffer any To Hit penalties with Bloodwrack Stare.
• Sisters of Slaughter have 5+ ward in combat (4+ with elven grace).
• Scourgerunner Chariot 90 pts.
• Dark Elf Fleetmaster has WS8 and A5, making them better fighters than dreadlords at the cost of armour and flexibility, 170 pts. This also fits in with their background as being skilled swordsmen.
• Toxins no longer replace Assassins' Poisoned Attacks.
• Manbane 10 pts.
• Tullaris now gains +1 to his combat resolution score each time he scores a successful Killing blow.
• Spiteful Conjuration Lore Attribute causes S2 hits instead.

• Rending Stars 25 pts.
• Dance of Doom forces enemies to re-roll successful To Hit rolls.

This update changes the following for Wood Elves:

• Sisters of the Thorn 26 pts, have 4+ ward by default again (Elven grace won't help them against shooting, so they have 4+ ward instead).

Wood Elves 9th Ed 1.11 out now!

This update changes the following:

• Marksman Prowess changed to Asrai Archery from 6th, meaning you ignore -1 to hit for moving and shooting. This keeps WE from becoming too much of a stand and shoot army rather than the guerilla force they are supposed to be.
• Clarified that Elven Grace applies to mounted models as well.
• Added Forest Dragon as a stand-alone rare choice.
• Sylvan Hunters moved to Rare.
• Sisters of the Thorn have a 5+ ward save (4+ with elven grace), fixed BS and A value, 24 pts.
• Arcane Bodkins 2 pts/model (due it being a bit too good at killing knights).
• Swiftshiver shards 3 pts/model (due to the combination of Asrai archery).
• Hagbane tips 4 pts/model (due to multiple shots).
• Added enchanted arrows to warhawk riders.
• Skaw ignores all To Hit penalties for his hawks.
• Warhawk riders can take enchanted arrows, are T3 in bestiary.
• Fixed stat-bug for Great Stag in bestiary.
• Fixed stat-bug for Unicorn in bestiary. Unicorns gain +1 Strength to their Impact Hits through Impale.
• Fixed bug where Araloth had M9.
• Conjoined Twins fixed - "If Naestra and Arahan have been reduced to less than 4 Wounds at the end any turn, they will be restored to 4 Wounds." For this reason, Gwindalor has W4, as MC uses the highest W available. 175 pts by default, 320 pts for the Dragon, 100 pts for the Eagle.
• Naieth's Othu allow re-roll of 1's to Hit.
• Changed ranks to unit strength for Twillight host.
• Fixed bug where Helm of the Hunt only give Frenzy the first turn. Also gives Forest Spirit special rule, allowing you to field a Wild Rider character, 50 pts.
• Hail of Doom Arrow is no longer armour piercing, 35 pts.
• Forest Dragon 320 pts,
• Added Spites to army list for affected characters.
• Added Warhawk to character mounts.
• Glade Guards can not take magic banners.
• All 5" forests have been changed to 12", so the Citadel Wood can be used.
• Sylvan Hunters have Unit size 3+.

Warhammer: Wood Elves 9th Ed 1.0(1) out now!

Updated July 11: Fixed bugs mentioned in the comments.

Coming at 186 pages, this book is your ultimate go-to source for everything Wood Elves (barring the excellent Defenders of the Forest from WFRP, which you should check out for even more background on them). This book contains all the background from all tree editions of the Wood Elves army books as well as additional background from White Dwarfs and some WFRP articles. I have also removed the background on Mallobaude's invasion of Bretonnia, as this is something that is not resolved until the End Times (which, as we all know, was just a fever dream caused by inhaling too much plastic glue).

As far as rules are concerned, this update changes the following:

• New Army Special rule: Elven Grace - giving a 6+ Parry save against enemies with lower Initiative. This rule will be given to both High Elves and Dark Elves as well to balance out their current high cost. I'd like to get feedback on this special rule overall to get an idea if this is good or not, or if Elven Grace should be represented by something else like +1WS, +1 To Hit or -1 To be Hit or anything else. If you are interested, you can find the forum discussion about it here).
• New Special Unit: Tree-Revenants
• New Special Unit: Spite-Revenants.
• New Special Unit: Sylvan Hunters.
• New Special Character: Ariel (frankly ridiculous that she was not included in the 8th ed book already seeing how much she is mentioned in the background)
• New Special Character: Naeith the Prophetess
• New Special Character: Thalandor
• New Special Character: Lothlann the Brave
• New Special Character: Scarloc
• New Special Character: Scaw the Falconer
• New Special Character: Gruath the Beastmaster
• Blessings of the Ancients replaces Blessing of Isha, gives +1 to cast in forests.
• Forest Sprits cause Fear by default.
• Removed spite swarms; instead spites makes a return as character upgrades from 6th ed (and no, the Annoyance of Netlings do not effectively give you a 2+ ward save in challenges now). 
• Removed beastmasters; their background has instead been transferred to Alters, whom it fits better with.
• Return of Swiftshiver shards, allows models to fire multiple shots when moving/ignore penalties for multiple shots when standing still. 
• Return of Starfire shafts, forces enemies to re-roll sucessful panic tests caused by them.
• Trueflight Arrows have the Ignores Cover special rule.
• Tree Kin has gotten their old 6th ed background back, the 8th ed fluff (with the whole "dead elf" thing being moved to the Tree-Revenants).
• Dryads have T3, can instead shift into different tree aspects which gives them +T, +A or -1 to be Hit.
• Alters are Infantry and skirmishers, can shift into different animal aspects.
• Waywatchers have regained their trap rule form 5th ed, can place traps in forests. 
• Waywatchers regained their forest stalker special rule from 6th ed, making them -1 to be hit, and can deploy within 12" as long as they are within a wood.
• Waywatcher have Killing Blow on their missile attacks like in 6th ed, rather than multiple shots and no armour saves.
• Waywatchers can take Enchanted arrows.
• Waywatchers do not have two hand weapons by default, 18 pts.
• Orion is MI, not Mo.
• Warhawk may be taken as a character mount. 
• Glade Lords and Captain start without light armour and bows for WYSIWYG purposes, 5 pts cheaper. 
• Orion 485 pts. 
• Durtu have WS and BS6, A5 to be closer to a Treeman Ancient in stats. Have the Sword of Dath magic item, 335 pts.
• Araloth has light armour, 230 pts.
• Drycha has W2, cost 180 pts.
• Spellsinger 85 pts.

As you can see, I've added most of the Age of Sigmar models, but with rules and rewritten background to fit the Old World, as well as a slew of updated special characters from 5th ed.

I will be giving both High Elves and Dark Elves some updates shortly with the new Elven Grace special rule, followed by updating their Ravening Hordes lists as well. After that, I will be on a break for a few weeks to have time to finish the video games from the last Steam sale (though I will still be tinkering with the books at work when possible). I've done most of the work on the Skaven already as far as rules go, though there's quite a lot of graphic and layout changes that are needed to fit new artwork and background from various White Dwarf issues.

Anyway, enjoy, and let me know of the horrible game-breaking bugs I've missed!
