This week is a continuation of the efforts to keep A4R IP compliant and perform some cleanup. Custodes Codex has received the disclaimer statement on its front page stating that it is in no way associated with GW. More importantly, it received some minor updates and corrections! HQ and Advisor’s Allarus Terminator armour upgrade didContinue reading “8/11/24 Custodes Cleanup”

Sorry its been so long! I was sick for 2 weeks straight and did not have any energy at all! I have been slowly going through the Codexes, fixing some typos, clarifying some wording, shrinking some spacing margins to cut on page size, and adding an additional IP compliant statement to the front page ofContinue reading “8/4/24 Chaos Cleanup”

Good news everyone! We have managed to get our schedules together and begin stress tests of the Adeptus Mechanicus and the Imperial Knights. Adeptus Mechanicus had a rebuild when we converted them to Final Drafts, and Imperial Knights got the same treatment. Adeptus Mechanicus tested pretty solidly as expected. They have excellent medium Infantry andContinue reading “7/14/24 Adeptus Mechanicus and Imperial Knights”

Back to releasing exciting end user news! While condensing and updating the IP compliance of the Imperial Guard Codex, I was able to come across some Rogue Trader era datasheets for old platoons that have been long lost in editions. Special thanks to the Facebook Rogue Trader page for their willingness to share these withContinue reading “6/30/24 Imperial Guard Platoons”

Sorry it’s been so long since a weekly news letter has come out. I have been doing a ton of backend work on the system to maintain IP compliance and grow the user interface options. We are still early on in the projects being added, but I will drop news as we definitively get themContinue reading “6/23/24 Backend Work”

A revamped Core Rulebook just went live! It has been patched continuously for almost 3 years now and has been in desperate need for cleanup and modernization in format. We also hit 4000 man hours invested in this project! We are now nearly ready to produce the last Codexes after they undergo final trials. TheyContinue reading “6/2/24 Rebuilt Core Rulebook and 4000 Hours”

Greetings everyone! This week has had several interesting developments. First, to celebrate some fantastic news with a friend, we got together to do a quick 10th edition game. Due to dice rolls (and incredibly open play with units that should probably be more confined) the game ended on Turn 1 with what probably would haveContinue reading “5/19/24 Branching into a Supportive Community”

This week has been pretty quiet. Just working on updating the Core Rule Book with a cleaner format, FAQs, Designer Notes, and Advanced Rules for optional play outside of tournament settings. Getting there! I am working on getting caught up with my Cadian Regiment. I am finally near the end (until the next inevitable intakeContinue reading “5/12/24 Schaeffer’s Last Chancers Rework”

Greetings in the name of the Emperor! We have come a long ways from humble origins and have recently got a bunch of new followers and members on social media. I have also had a lot of people asking questions about what Alternate 40k Rules is and what it offers compared to official editions, bothContinue reading “5/5/24 What is Alternate 40k Rules?”

We got another Codex live! Genestealer Cults have passed our trials and are ready for your enjoyment. They bring a massive control dynamic to the battlefield, forcing you to decided between shooting GSC units or Terrain. They can also force you into awkward positions as you try to block all of their Emergence Holes andContinue reading “4/28/24 Genestealer Cult Codex Live! Custodes turn Herohammer!”
