Warhammer - Kingdoms of Ind 1.2 out now!

This is a medium-sized update, adding a lot of magic items and a new graphic layout, but not so much else. The rest are mainly smaller tweaks to the unit in terms of equipment and points costs, but let's go on the largest changes.

Deva now follow the same rules as forest spirits and daemons regarding their ward save, so things are consistent there. Speaking of the Devas, the Lore of the Deva has been reworked into Prayers for the new Sadhu priest. The lore itself did not have a theme beyond Hindu gods, with spells already available in the Winds of Magic, and since god-magic has for the most part been moved to Priests, it just makes sense for Ind to follow suit. However, Ind's Mantriks instead have access to all Winds of Magic, making them a lot more versatile than before.

You will also notice that Ind's troops have bucklers rather than shields by default, representing the smaller dhal shield. They can still upgrade to regular shields, however. I have also renamed quite a few units to more fitting or flavourful names.

Lastly, War Elephants are now Monstrous Creatures like in Araby, but with one Wound less. The Royal Elephant has therefore been removed from the Rare section since it would be almost identical to the regular War Elephant. However, it still remains as a Character mount for Maharajahs, albeit as a Monstrous Creature rather than a Monster.

And with that, all army books are finally updated to the new and improved format and have a full selection of magic items! From now on, each upcoming update will mostly be focused on smaller balance changes and bug fixes with me going over the community reports, so you should be able to expect 1-2 updates every single week until the wave is done, after I will start on the next main rulebook update. Many thanks to my Patreons as always, and don't forget to update your votes! Next up, Lizardmen!
