And here's that interview for those who want a listen and enjoy my awesome/silly Swedish accent:

Warhammer 9th Edition 1.7 out now!

A fairly large update, this update changes the following:

• Broken Concentration: If the total of the natural dice scores is 1 or 2, not only is the spell not cast, but the Wizard breaks their concentration and is unable to cast spells for the rest of the Magic phase (meaning you can still cast spells even if you otherwise fail your casting attempt).
• If you roll high enough so that the casting value of the boosted version of the spell is reached, you may choose whether you want to cast the standard or boosted version of the spell.
• Removed large target bonus for shooting US40+.
• Unit Strength 10 or more is required to cause Panic on friendly units.
• Clarified that Always Strikes First/Last are influenced by Initiative bonuses.

If a unit contains more than one model that inflicts a random amount of Impact Hits (such as D6), always roll separately for each model.

• When moving, the chariot model always uses the Movement characteristic of the beasts, although as the beasts are encumbered by the chariot chassis, a chariot suffer -1 to its Movement value, and can only manoeuvre using wheeling.
• Many Chariots have an armour save detailed in their army list entry, which is combined with any armour the crew might have.
• Shrines: When moving, the shrine model always uses the Movement characteristic of the models pulling or carrying it (rather than the slowest M). Some Shrines have an armour save detailed in their army list entry, which is combined with any armour the crew might have.

• Musicians allow re-rolling Rally tests instead if +1 modifier.

Warhammer Chaos Dwarfs 9th Ed 1.1 out now!

Had originally just planned on making a smaller update, but me being me, I ended re-doing practically the whole book again layout-wise. This update makes the book 120 pages, 8 more than the last update, and adds some more lore on the Chaos Dwarfs' society, some short stories, and fixes some inconsistencies in their history about their creation, which GW borked the first time with dates that did not make any sense. So now they found Zorn Uzkul before the Time of Chaos when they became Chaos Dwarfs rather than after (which made no sense), and they do not originally hail from Karak Vlag like Tome of Corruption describes.
