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.

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.

Never actually posted this on the blog since it's not the finished version, but in case you are a DoW player, this should still be worth reading for you. The beta version for the next DoW update contains the following changes from the current "official" version: 
  • Pikes nerfed and simplified.
  • Added Assassins as a Hero choice.
  • Added Broken Lances as a Core choice.
  • Cavaliers are now called Freelancers.
  • Pit Fighters added as a special choice.
  • Merc Elves now has ASF.
  • Ballistas added as a special choice.
  • Espringals are now called Scorpions, no longer ignore armour saves.
  • Ribaults added as a Rare choice.
  • Griffon added as a mount for Merc Generals.
  • Hurcio's Club replaces Blackbeard's Cutlasses.
  • The Arbalest now fires like a Bolt Thrower.
  • Justintine's Paychest added as an Enchanted Item.
  • Hedge Wizard's Staff is now called Staff of Fickle Fortune, 45 pts.
  • Pikemen, Crossbowmen, Dwarfs, Espringals slightly cheaper.
  • Norse Marauders can no longer take flails.
  • Racial Distrust replaces Hard to Hire and Distrust
  • Warhammers added (option for Merc Cap and Broken Lances)
  • Light crossbow buffed to Strength 4, nerfed to range 16"
  • Leonardo may now use all of his Genius abilities, 135 pts
  • Prism of Power one use only
  • Hot Pot now ignores armour saves, 75 pts.
  • Re-formatted army list.
  • Tons of improved editing throughout the book.
  • A bunch of new background for many units.
  • Various small bugs fixed and improved rules clarifications.

Download 


The beta version will be in playtesting for about 1-2 months to collect feedback before replacing the current version. I don't expect to be working that much on the books during November what with gaming season 2013 underway, so it might also take a while for me to respond to any messages you might send. Thanks for understanding.

Restructuring the site

As you can see, I've made some changes to the top of the site in regards to how you can find the books. The old system was rather fiddly and didn't even out very well, so I'm hoping that the new drop-down menu will remedy that. From here, you pick expansions, army books or other smaller downloads and go directly to either Google Drive, Issuu, Scribd much easier than before.

Obviously, this is still a work in progress as I'm just learning how to use css code properly, so not all features will be available right away. Hopefully I'll get this sorted during the week. Until then, you can still download all the google drive versions of the latest major books using the new menu.

Edit: All links should now be in place, except for Fimir and Classic RoR since they too will be restructured from their current format. There are still some issues with the menu that I haven't been able to fix yet, but I'm having some more tech-savvy friends of mine look into it during the week. That said, everything should be much more easily accessible than before, allowing me to clean up a lot of the clutter from the site.

I've also reset the poll now that all army books have gotten their full updates for 8th ed. I've removed the option for the Fimir since they will appear as an AC list instead.

Regiments of Renown beta update out now!

Only posted this on DoWO so far, so figured those who might not visit that site might have missed it.

Changes:
  • New high-res cover, changed to the same as the Dogs of War book for consistency, since people had commented on the old cover being somewhat "misleading" in that it didn't have anything to do with the RoR's in the book.
  • Re-done layout to eliminate empty space on the pages.
  • New stat boxes to line up the characteristics properly (please make sure they all are correct, some are intentionally changed).
  • Revised points cost for most units.
  • Birdmen no longer Ambush.
  • Manflayers +1 WS, ASF, Murderous Prowess.
  • Wolfboyz +1 WS like the 5th ed rules to make them stand out from common hobgoblins.
  • Rebalanced Goblin-hewer; it now fires D6 shots per rank, but each shot must roll to Hit individually rather than just firing once.
  • Giant of Albion have Ld10 like normal Giants, Hengus gains +1 to dispel.
  • The Fighting Cocks have BS5, like their 5th ed rules to stand out more from normal halflings.

This is still subject to change (hence it's a beta) but you can still take a look at it current changes until the finalized version is out.

At the moment, I'm not working  much on any of the books and don't expect to be doing so during December either. However, you can look forward to see some new material come January, with updates to the Special Characters book as well as the finished 4.2 version of the DoW book.

Plans for the coming year

Happy New Year and all that! Been a while since I last posted anything substantial, what with the holidays and gaming taking up most of my time. I'm almost finished with the latest release version of the Dogs of War book, though it doesn't really vary that much from the beta already online.
However, I'm not sure just how much time I will really have to work on the books during the upcoming months, due to just having gotten a full-time intern-ship during January-March, after which I will most likely be working on another job during April-June. This means that my time will be cut a bit short when it comes to working on any new projects, and thus I definitely will not be able to keep up the same pace as I did during 2013.

That said, I should at least be able to squeeze in a couple of the smaller army lists planned since I don't really have any major revisions to do on the main books (except Special Characters), though I'm not sure exactly when. Naturally, I will keep the blog updated whenever I start on any of these. With a bit of luck, I might at least have the Gnoblar list out in February. Until then, you can look forward to the Dogs of War book (as well as the RoR) around next week.

On the topic of Gnoblars...

Some decent news there; I have started putting the list together using the material from the old Gnoblar Hordes list, and it's currently up to 27 pages (will most likely go down once I'm finished with the formatting). There's also another fan-made army book for Gnoblars which is as of yet, unfinished. I will probably contact the authors of that one to see if they intend to work on it further or if they would be willing to share their material. At any right, it might give me some ideas for rules.

I've earlier put a "maybe" on February in terms of release date, but I think that might have been a little too optimistic. Gnoblars aren't exactly at the top of the pyramid as far as interesting factions go to me, so I won't be working on them as much for my sake as it is for the community.
At the very least, the Gnoblar book (if one could call it that) will be an updated "port" of the 6th ed list, but I will most likely throw in quite a few more units as well. That said, it might not be as good as my previous work due to a certain lack of personal interest in the subject. However, I've thought the same thing about quite a few of the other books, and people have still really liked those anyway, so I could be wrong! At any rate, Gnoblars are on the way, but do try to keep your expectations reasonable ;)
