Alliance & Alignment and Painting Threads are up!

I've taken the liberty of adding a small chart for Alliance and Alignment for my army books as per popular request, so you won't have to worry about which armies can ally each other.

I also added two of my painting threads for Dogs of War and Araby in case anyone is interested or is looking for some inspiration. I will add Dark Elves in the near future as well.

Are there any other things you would like to see added, let me know in the comments section below.

Halfling news update

Happy news to you furry feet lovers! The Halfling book is now proceeding at good speed, and should be finished in late January/early February. I'm finished with the bestiary and currently working on the army list itself. Then I only need to finish editing the background sections and the magic items which shouldn't be too much of a problem, so expect some new rules in 3-4 weeks!

Details for upcoming Chaos Dwarfs!

But don't get too exited just yet; this one is still far off on the horizon, Halflings will definitely be done first, then it will have to compete with the Hobgoblins. Regardless, now that the Chaos Dwarf list in Tamurkhan is out and I have had a quick look at it, I can say that I will be making my own version. Not because I find the official one to be bad, but rather because I find it a bit lacking in choices. My book will contain all the official units from Tamurkhan, as well as a lot of the best fan-made units out there with some minor adjustments, to give you Chaos Dwarf player as much variety as possible.

The Bestiary in it's current form (likely to change depending on the exact options available in the official list):

Lords:
Overlord (fighter)
High Priest of Hashut (wizard)

Heroes:
Despot (fighter)
Sorcerer (wizard)
Daemonsmith (Runesmith equivalent, with Altar of Hashut)
Bull Centaur Great Horn (fighter)
Slavedriver (support character)
Hobgoblin Chieftain (fighter)

Mounts:
Bale Taurus (Great Taurus)
Lammasu
Palanquin

Core:
Infernal Guard (HA, shields, GW)
Devastators (blunderbusses)
Hobgoblins (spear, LA, shield, bow)
Hobgoblin Wolfriders (fast cavalry, spear, LA, shield, bow)

Special:
Immortals (FPA, GW, ward save)
Acolytes of Hashut (stubborn, HA, Halberd)
- Zealot Berserkers (similar to Fanatics)
Sneaky Gits (scouts/skirmish/ambushers, 2HW, poison)
Magma Cannon (Flame Cannon Equivalent)
Deathshrieker Rocket (Death Rocket)
Inferno Golems (Ogre-sized monsters)
Bull Centaurs (GW, HA)

Rare:
Iron Daemon War Engine (Battering Ram, can grind opponents)
Dreadquake Mortar (Earthshaker)
Chaos Siege Giant (HA)
Hellcannon (same as WoC book)
Colossus Daemon Tower (mobile building with infantry)

Edit: if anyone is wondering about the cover, I'm glad to say that John Blake from Titan War Games has allowed me to use his artwork to adorn the book. Cheers!

Another Kingdoms of Ind update posted!

Only a small update here. This ones fixes a few bugs and adds a 5+ Ward save to all the Deities (which silly I forgot to write in the first time!).

As for the Halfling list, not much progress has been made I'm afraid, and I doubt it will be out before the end of the year. Most of my current time has been spent painting, and it will be for quite some time. Then as November hits, the real gaming season with Battlefield 3 and Skyrim starts, which will likely last a good while into December and possibly January. However, after that I should have ample time to finish it, so hopefully you will have some new rules in late January/early February!

Kingdoms of Ind update posted!

As per the usual new release, a new patched version is now up. This one fixes a lot of bug issues, and well as some pretty big balance ones. The Basilisk in particular has seen a big nerf, and will likely be nerfed more in the future.

Mini-edit: just posted yet another update. The Basilisk's Gaze is now at sane levels, and it gained Regeneration for some much needed survivability. It is still likely the subject for future revisions, pending on feedback.

Details for upcoming Warhammer Armies: Hobgoblins!

Though the list won't go into development until I'm finished with the Halflings, I thought I would share the details so you know what to expect to see in the list. As stated earlier, the list will be largely based on cavalry, with plenty of mounted archers and light cavalry specialising in different areas, as well as some infantry support.

Lords:
Great Khan (fighter)
Shaman Elder (wizard)

Heroes:
Khan (fighter)
Shaman (wizard)
Hunter (scout/stealth character)

Mount:
Waki'ya (large bird)
Giant Wolf
Wolf Chariot

Core:
Hobgoblin Warriors (HW/spears, LA, shields)
Hobgoblin Archers (bows)
Wolfriders (bow/spear, LA, shield)
Kharash (slave unit)
Hobhounds (warbeasts with handlers)

Special:
Rage Riders (frenzy, 2HW/GW, riding hobhounds)
Khan's Guard (lance, HA, shield, barded wolf)
Mangudai (elite mounted archers)
Tarkans (flaming attacks, anti-building/forest unit, riding wolves)
Sneaky Gitz (2HW, poison, scouts)
War Wagon (mobile bolt thrower)

Rare:
Sabertooth Raiders (heavy cavalry, sabertooth mounts)
Rhinox Battle Fortress (Rhinox with battle platform)
Rokkit Launcha (fires several small rockets)
Deathworm (unpredictable monster)

All books now available on issuu.com!

With the release of the Kingdoms of Ind, I happened to notice that issuu.com have implemented a very useful update function which is perfect for when I want to post a revision of a document, which was the only thing really missing earlier.

So for you people who have gotten mad at Scribd for not allowing you to download without registering, or don't like having to wait for the download on 4shared, all books will from now on be posted first and foremost on issuu.com, where you can both read and download them without any waiting times or registration. The best of all worlds, in short!
