Dropping support for Issuu and Scribd

Due to the annoyance of having to manually upload updates to these two sites, I've decided to drop the support for those versions. This won't affect the majority of you since downloading from Google Drive is easier anyway, and minor updates are often only uploaded here to begin with. Plus, Scribd have an annoying tendency to delete some documents by mistake due to them being similar to previously removed official GW publications, so you can't even find the whole collection there anyway. All books will still remain on these sites since they still show up very high in the search results, thus making it easier for new players to find them, but they will be marked as outdated.

Along this, I'm also dropping the support of two existing documents, Fimir and Classic Regiments of Renown, which are not available on this site at the moment anyway. Fimir will of course return as an Allied Contingent down the line in an updated 8th ed format, but I don't think I will be working more of the Classic RoR's. This is due to many of them simply not fitting with the current background of Warhammer, and several already have official updates as Special Characters or current RoR's. More than that, most of them were never mercenaries to begin with, so the term "Regiment of Renown" isn't all that fitting as it would allude to them being Dogs of War, which they in most cases are not. The rules will still be available online for those who might be interested in either using their rules or read their background, but they won't see any new support beyond that.

Current Projects

Had to remove the "Predicted release order" side-gadget from the site due a java-error, so here's what's currently in the works, using fancy words!

Right now I'm working on a rather large update for the Dogs of War book that will streamline many rules, add more units, and make the RoR book easier to navigate. If you want to pitch in with ideas and feedback, you can do so here (note that you need to be a member of the forum).

After the Dogs of War update, I will most likely be updating the Special Characters book, adding all 7th ed characters as well, including Dogs of War and Chaos Dwarfs.

After that, I will probably start working on the Allied Contingents book, which will release as "Early Access" with only some of the lists from the start. These will be updated rules for Gnoblars, Zombie Pirates and the Army of the Cairns. After that, Border Princes and Fimir will follow, with Khuresh and Fishmen (won't be the name ofc) making up the last part (unless more races gets added later).

There will most likely be plenty of smaller updates with bug fixes for the other books as well along the way.

Regarding the Fimir

Unfortunately I might have to put the Fimir book on ice for the time being, as I have been unable to secure permission for the art from Warpstone 25. I haven't gotten a "no" either, but since I don't want another situation like the one with the previous version, I'd rather not use any of their material without a clear go-ahead.

Instead, I think I will incorporate the Fimir as an allied contingent in the upcoming book. This allows me make a more condensed Fimir list with only the most fitting units as opposed to stretching the list thin (considering Albion and Wood Elves already are based on Celtic mythology). There will still be background and art, only a smaller amount of it. It's still possible I'll make a new full version at some point in the future though if I'll have enough ideas and material, but for now, I'd rather have a playable version that is short and sweet rather than long and bloated.

On the plus-side, this means that I can push up the release date for the Allied Contingents book, so you might be able to enjoy those army lists much sooner than previously planned.

Fimir background removed

After some discussion with the original writer of Warpstone Magazine's Fimir article, I have decided to remove the current Fimir background from the book. Instead, the background will be rewritten to something more in line with 8th edition.

Note that this a project rather far down the line, probably some time next year, as there are other books that need a lot more attention rules-wise. The Fimir rules are still up and can be downloaded if you intend to play the army, but if you want to read about their history and society until then, you will have to get Warpstone Magazine #25.

Fimir update out now!

First Fimir update is now online. This one fixes a couple of WFRP remnants, general formatting errors and adds some rules clarifications. Nothing major, in short.

Warhammer Armies: Fimir out now!

So, this is a little embarrassing, but due to my gaming PC still being in the repair shop, I've been a little bored this last week (what do you mean I should be studying!?), and so I've been working on my books a lot. A lot.

And so, here's the Fimir book, completed in about 6 days. Of course I didn't write the whole thing myself, the first 70 pages are all from Warpstone Magazine's Fimir article, only needed to do some quick editing and a new layout there. Anyway, good night, and enjoy!

Guess I'll keep working on the Hobgoblins or Chaos Dwarfs tomorrow...

Update for Halflings out now!

Just a small one fixing a couple of spelling errors and getting some higher quality images for the book. I would also like to give special mention to Brenton Smith and fauthsie whose work in the book was previously missing from the credits. All taken care of now!

On the subject of Fimir, the book is coming along at a record speed pace, being almost 100 pages already. The bestiary is finished, the main background is almost complete, though the army list still needs to be made, and the magic items needs editing. Expect a release early March, though it might take a little longer depending on how soon my good computer will be back from the repair shop. Got to catch up on those video games!

Warhammer Armies: Halflings out now!

Finally finished! Man, thought I would be stuck translating Spanish background forever! Coming in at 80 pages total, this is definitely the most complete Halfling book to date. So now you all just need to let me know of all the obvious mistakes I have clearly overlooked, so I can start patching it up ASAP ;)

Now, I'm going to get myself some well-deserved sleep before working more on the Fimir book... which will likely be released in March btw. Until then, enjoy!

Details for upcoming Warhammer Armies: Fimir!

So after having spent most of yesterday scrounging the net for info on Fimir (not much else to do when it's -28C degrees cold outside anyway!) I think I have quite a decent base to work from. The list contains the classic Fimir units from 20+ years ago of course, as well as a couple of new ones and a lot of swamp dwelling mythological creatures from Celtic mythology to round out the force.
All in, the Fimir list will be based quite a bit around slow, heavy infantry with quite a few larger monsters. Sounds a bit like Warriors of Chaos, right? Well, the Fimir will feature a lot less armour and a lot more debilitating powers in form of magic, mist powers and using the terrain to their advantage. So WoC with more tactics, I suppose ;)

Meargh (wizard)
Fimm Warlord (fighter)

Update for Albion out now!

In lieu of the release of Storm of Magic and the upcoming Fimir, I've taken to making a small update for Albion. Nothing much, but I've updated the Fenbeast rules and given them some upgrade options, and the Fir Bolg unit has been taken out and been replaced by a new unit called Sidhe. The Fir Bolg will make an appearance in the Fimir book instead.

The updated version can be found on Issuu.com.

What's that in the mist? The Fimir!

Okay, so you know just how crazy I am by now, so it should come to no surprise that I have even more books planned in the future. The latest one to the batch will be (as you can probably guess from the title): the Fimir! With Warhammer Forge making some new models for them as well as the inclusion of them in Storm of Magic, now would be a good time for the one-eyed monsters to reappear as their own army!

I have found a ton of background info for them which should make this a rather quick and simple project seeing as I won't have to fill it out much myself other than making the actual rules. I will post army list details once I am done scrounging the internet for fluff, images and ideas.

As for other armies, I have acquired a copy of Tamurkhan now, so I have all the things needed to make the Chaos Dwarf book as well, but I think I'll save that one for last.

On the subject of Halflings, I've finished the army list for them, and I'm now working on clearing up the magic items. The book might be slightly delayed due to studies, but I am gonna try to squeeze it out before the end of the month at least.
