New Pirates of Sartosa update and 9th ed version out now!

This update changes the following:

  • Dwarf Sea Dogs have the same special rules as other dwarfs.
  • Norse Reavers have Berserkergang instead of Frenzy.
  • Ironfist Mortars are S4.
  • Pirate crew may have great weapons (boarding axes).
  • Cheaper additional hand weapons and pistols for infantry.
  • Increased BS of Ship's Mates.
  • Changed unit sizes for Buccaneers and Harpooners to 10+.
  • Sea Serpent Riders have 6+ scaly skin.
  • Sea Giant have 6+ scaly skin.

With that done, I will now be able to focus on the official books again. Before I start with publishing "new" books though, I still have a few updates for Bretonnia, Skaven, Beastmen, DoW and Chaos Dwarfs which will add some new fluff from the various White Dwarfs I've been going through. The Bretonnian book will be a pretty big update though, with new units and quite a bit of added background, so that one will take a while to finish. The other updates should hopefully be pretty quick affairs.

This update changes the following:

  • New Special unit: Ozutsu Ashigaru - ashigaru wielding giant matchlocks: 18", S5.
