New Classic RoR update out now!

Rather than having to queue up with all 3 updates at once, I'm posting this one right now since it's separate from the "tournament" books anyway. It doesn't change any rules apart from the sword Scabscrath and some clarifications on named models, but gives it a bit of a refurbished look with a new background and some new artwork.

The full colour updates for DoW and the normal RoR's is pretty much done as well, just waiting for the green light from the other developers.

Full colour Dogs of War update coming soon!

Looks like Cathay will be ever so slightly delayed as we have talked about finally making the DoW book full colour. Like the latest Bretonnia update, this will be a short endeavour, probably only taking 2-3 days.
The full colour update will also include Regiments of Renown and Classic Regiments of Renown, which will get a new parchment background. This update will also include the errata changes discussed at Dogs of War online. Expect updates for all 3 books before the end of the week.

Details for upcoming Cathay update

Going to be focusing fully on Cathay from now on, seeing as they are the oldest of my army books without an update. Unlike Nippon, Cathay won't have huge changes in terms of units, as I am quite satisfied with their current selection of troops. There will however, be a few new units for you to play around with:

Brass Titans (pretty much their giant monster, which Cathay currently lacks)
Field Engineers (which will be able to choose from different weapons like hand mortars, fire bombs, sky rockets, and flame throwers)
Some kind of monstrous cavalry (on daemonic frogs. I'm not kidding.)

Apart from new units, there will of course be quite a bit rules changes, mostly in the form of nerfs to the War Machines like Dragon Cannon and the Fire Arrow, who are really overpowered at the moment (their rules were initially written for 7th ed).
The background will get a major overhaul, as I'm not really satisfied with their current history section (way to many names to remember during the Three Kingdoms era for instance) and there aren't many entries that coincide with the rest of the Old World, not even the mentions of Cathay from official sources. This will probably take a while to rewrite, so it might slow down the project a bit. That said, starting March 15, I will have 3 weeks off from university where I will have ample time to work on the list.

Large Chaos Dwarf update out now!

Finally got this one done! Been dragging a bit since I haven't felt all that inspired to work on them, but sat down and finished the promised update today. Apart from some layout changes and text edits, the new version contains the following new units:

Sneaky Gitz
Spear Chukka
Goblin Slaves
Orc Slaves
Zealot Berzerkers
Whirlwinds
Tenderizers
Inferno Guns
Bazukas
Juggernaut Siege Tower
Palanquin

So there you go, units enough to border on insanity and redundancy! All the classic units all the way from 3rd edition is back for your usage. I had planned to include Ghorth the Cruel as a Special Character as well, but I don't really have any ideas on how to make him stand out from the other Sorcerers at the moment, so he has been left out for now.
This update will likely be the last one for Chaos Dwarfs in a good while, unless there are some major bugs that needs fixing. And with this one done, I should now have ample time (well, what will be allowed after university and this months batch of video games takes its toll at least!) to work on Cathay!

Dropping Gnoblar Hordes

After some deliberation, I've decided to drop the future planned supplement for Gnoblars for now. There's just not anything I see myself adding to it other than making it 8th ed compatible, which severely limits any creative process that might otherwise go into it.

That said, it's not impossible that I will make a smaller Allied Contingent book with alternative army lists at some point, but it's really low on my to-do list at the moment. I doubt there are that many pure Gnoblar fans out there though, so the lack of an updated playable 100% Gnoblar list probably won't affect too many of you I hope.

The rest of the books will be updated/made as planned, though Cult of Slaanesh and Mercenaries of Tilea won't be out for a long time, so don't put them too high on your wishlists.

Full colour Bretonnia update out now!

Didn't even take me the whole week! Apart from being full colour with a lot of new artwork and a scaled down fluff section (though I only removed about 50 pages, not 80), this version also contains a bunch of balance changes, as follows:

• Shield of Faith nerfed to a 5+ against all strengths.
• Flying Cavalry rule from Hippogryph Knights removed.
• All knights are getting a slight points increase due to DC.
• Yeoman Sergeant nerfed to 2A.
• Trebuchet dropped to 125 pts.
• Virtue of Audacity is getting a bump to 30 pts.
• Guilded Cuirass, Wyrmlance, Twilight Banner and Sacrament of the Lady are no longer in the list.
• Sword of Heroes, Cuirass of Fortune, Silver Mirror and Banner of Defence back in the list.
• Fixed Priestess/paladin issue in army list.
• Peasant Levy now test Ld on 3D6.
• Items have fewer restrictions.
• Barding now shows in the army list.
• Signature spell now only works on mounted knights.
• Sacrosanct now 125 pts.
• Pegasus Knights are 2W, barded.
• Hyppogryph Knights are T4, 3W, 3+ AS. 75 pts. 
• Spirits of the Fey are now swarms.
• Herrimaults are 8 pts, nerfed to BS3, I3.
• Templar gives difference bonuses depending on whether he is on foot or mounted.
• Grail Knights unit size is now 3+.
• Additional hand weapon option is removed from knights.
• Lords and Paladins must be mounted (unless using Virtue of Empathy).
• Base size references are removed, use whatever is suitable for each troop type.
• Various layout and spelling errors fixed.

New Bretonnia update on the way!

I lieu of going through the Wood Elf stuff, I have gotten a hankering for Bretonnia again. As such, I am currently working on a larger update that will do some gameplay changes, but perhaps more interestingly: make the book in colour.
I will also trim down the fluff section a lot, since I feel it's just way too unwieldy to use at the moment for an army book you are supposed to bring to the table (just trying to find the units I want to edit while working on it is a pain!). So expect the book to be trimmed down to maybe 120 pages at most, which is still stretching it. I will probably do something similar with Kislev, though not as much.
So if you want to have the complete, huge fluff section, make sure to save a copy of the old book. You can otherwise just read it in the Knights of the Grail source book for WFRP.

I expect this update to be done sometime this week, as it's mostly just layout a layout change. Unfortunately this means that the new planned Chaos Dwarf update will be somewhat delayed, but I will work on more that one when I feel more inspired to do so.
