Author Archives: Alternate 40k Rules

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”

This week has been a very satisfying one for me! I finished transcribing the Eldar Codex into Final Draft format! It joins out long line of Codexes awaiting their final play tests. Due to schedule conflicts and the small number of players I work with locally, we are just needing some last play tests withContinue reading “12/17/23 Eldar, Necrons, and Patches”

This week has been another good week for Final Draft formats! Grey Knights are ready for final stage testing. Thanks to the resounding success of the Space Marine Codex and prior testing has lead them to a great spot. Honestly its really just looking for confirmation rather than any concern at this stage of theirContinue reading “12/10/23 Grey Knights and Eldar”

Its that time of the week again! This past week we got some great tests in with several of our Codexes. Custodes have been published for a while. They have been tournament ready but have always been a touch bland with some of their unique characters. We have been running around ideas for a fewContinue reading “12/3/23 Custodes, Traitor Guard, Khorne, and the Capitol Imperialis”

This week was busy with festivities, but despite that I got the base Tau Codex put into Final Draft form! All that is left is for 2 Septs to be produced as supplements and it will be ready for final testing. We got a lot of the testing done early on in our efforts. AtContinue reading “11/26/23 Tau Empire and the Capitol Imperialis”

This past week was exciting! We had the release of our Dark Eldar Codex which plays very well to its strengths and weaknesses. While a bit more forgiving then historical editions, it still gives a hard line between well coordinated strategy and unforgiveness for failing your Archon. We also saw Space Marines get 5 historicalContinue reading “11/19/23 Tau Empire”
