Exciting news! We have the Eldar Codex live! Play testing this army was a lot of fun. I have always enjoyed the cloak and dagger style of play and tried to bring that element in with them. They have lots of tricks up their sleeves with their double effect spells, high speed units, and easyContinue reading “3/3/24 Eldar Codex Live! Necron Overhaul”

2.5 years, 3800 man hours. All Codexes are compiled and either published or back logged on play tests. Honestly, all of these Codexes are mechanically fine. We are just screening for unintentional game breaking builds. More importantly, we are trying to ensure all of them have a strong lore feel and are not boring mechanicalContinue reading “2/25/24 Inquisitor Codex Compiled all Codexes Compiled!”

The last of the Codexes that dont pool from other sources is compiled! All thats left is Inquisition and Chaos Knights. This is subject to change with play testing, but with inspiration from feedback to get a better lore feel for the Sisters I think the concepts are all in a good place. The shortContinue reading “2/18/24 Sisters of Battle Ready for Playtesting!”

As we draw close to getting all codexes into final draft format, we are getting a first revised look at the Sisters of Battle. One of the things I have wanted to really bring to the table for them is their faith. As it stands, we are in the process of working with them onContinue reading “2/11/24 Sisters of Battle”

We have been getting more play tests in, and are undergoing trials to see how some codexes scale with slow grows. All that needs written in Final Draft format now is Sisters of Battle, the Inquisition, and the Chaos Knights Supplement! All of the others that are not published are undergoing trials still, and weContinue reading “2/4/24 Imperial Guard Super Tank Projects”

It has been another very productive and busy week! To start out with, a major core rule has been capped. After extensive testing, discussion, and introduction of additional high stealth based Codexes, Cover Saves can no longer get better than 3+. They can have as many modifiers applied as appropriate, but a 1 or 2Continue reading “1/28/24 Necrons, Eldar, and Adeptus Mechanicus”

It has been another week! In fact two of them! I have had so many regular posts going out with all of the major mile markers and battle reports that it probably has not been necessary, but I wanted to get back on track, recap the mile markers, and fill in the little details thatContinue reading “1/14&21/24 Many Updates”

This week I have been able to a lot more test games in than I have in a while! First things first, I made some more progress transcribing the Genestealers to Final Draft format. I am down to just Genestealer specific HQ and Advisors. I will be going back and adding the fallen Imperial GuardContinue reading “1/7/24 Progress and 3500 Man Hours”

It is the perfect time to write the final weekly newsletter for the New Year! It is a tad late with holiday stuff, but here goes! First off, my goal is to get every Codex published and tournament ready status! We are really close on most of them, so this is a goal that isContinue reading “12/31/23 New Year Goals”

This is exciting! I am on the last few Codexes to transcribe into Final Draft status! The downside is my job has been going incredibly toxic and down hill for the past 6 months. The usual false promises, understaffed, no pay increase to compensate, that kind of thing. I won’t bore you with the details.Continue reading “12/25/23 Genestealer Cults and Phone App”
