Howdy people!

Got a big ol'update for you:

51 New Units, 360 New Regiments of Renown, 440 New Special Characters, and 113 New Magical Items across almost all the lists.

Hope they help with your modding!

A lot of the links are to unoffical army books

Er, no. They aren't. Any links to unofficial army books are listed in the Unofficial sections, of which there are very few.

There are a few, like this one for instance.

You explain your reasoning behind it, but I think it would make more sense to include the blood bowl one instead of the fanmade one. Please don't take this as an insult to your work though, just my opinion.

So, one link in a series of threads listing thousands of new units, regiments of renown, characters, spells and items counts as "a lot"?

As you said, it's from Blood Bowl. Why complain? I listed a link that I could find for some rules that people might appreciate as I couldn't find the White Dwarf issue I had which contained the proposed WD version of it. There is loads of evidence of that Deathroller existing in the form of models and BB rules, one link in the wrong place should not be enough for you to pretend that most of the lists are unofficial and fake.

Again, I'm not trying to insult your work. I'm making an observation about something and saying my opinion on it, and I'm definetly not trying to prove that everything you post is unnoficial and fake. I'm just saying that a few of the link choices didn't make much sense to me. Also there are more than just the one I just used that one because it was what I was looking at at the time.

PS: Here's the deathrollers forge world page. https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-CA/Dwarf-Deathroller

It might be your intention to help in some way, but saying "A lot of the links are to unoffical army books" makes it look like I'm just making stuff up or am too much of an idiot to not realise those are unofficial lists, therefore undermining months of work which could stop people using the unit lists for their mods. If you want to help by finding better links to lore for units, then by all means do so, just don't come out with blanket statements that can turn people away from the lists.

I updated the Deathroller link to the forgeworld model, but I also added a link to an unpainted older edition deathroller model that looks less Age of Sigmary than the forgeworld model.

Ok, sorry I came across like that it's not how I meant to sound. Also just a tip but many of the units that have fanmade books are actually just units in the official army books, so I think it would be better to just link them.

Sorry if I came across a bit too defensive.

Yeah, the unofficial books, for the most part, contain many true units or units that came from old editions. The person who worked on them did a very good job of scouring lore and rules to make them. They're not perfect by any means but I think they have their place. I try to keep them separate though in the lists.

Bump

High Elf unit list has been updated to remove those that are added in TWW2. This should make it more obvious which units are left for modders to add. :)

This is insane! One hell of a job you did here!
Also i have to say the unofficial army books are pretty good and lore friendly! No shame in using them :)

Thanks Khazmo! I'm looking to make a few Regiments of Renown for Chaos and Beastmen. Do you have any suggestions for what would be the most interesting to people?

@housie123

Thanks! I've worked hard on it, and there is more to come. Been adding a new section to the Empire and Lizardman threads, and I'll gradually add more to the others too. I've also got a few new units but I'll add them when I have large amount.

@Decomposed

No worries! I can't say that I can predict what they'd want, but I can offer a few suggestions, but some will be multiples, so pick the ones that you would prefer:

Beastmen:

Blood Oxen - Minotaurs RoR
Crushskull Foestomper - Chaos Giant RoR
Fey-killers - Gor RoR
Gourger - Chariot RoR
Gulmoth's Bone-Eaters - Minotaurs (Great Weapons) RoR
Sons of Ghorros - Centigor RoR
Targarth's Fleshrippers - Bestigor RoR
The Gore-Encrusted Antler - Gor (Shields) RoR
The Impaled Kneecap - Ungor Herd (Shields) RoR
Toxote's Hellmounts - Centigors (Great Weapons) RoR
Xeratheen - 'Manticore' RoR

Chaos:

Crushskull Foestomper - Chaos Giant RoR
Namtar-Erishkagal - Hellcannon RoR
Silithus the Ancient - Dragon Ogre Shaggoth RoR
Swords of Chaos - Chaos Knights RoR
The Accursed - Forsaken RoR
The Everwardens - Chaos Warriors (Halberds) RoR
Mirrorguard of Sigvald - Chosen RoR
Scyla - Chaos Spawn RoR
The Fel Legion - Chosen (Great Weapons) RoR
The Reavers of Nightfaith - Chaos Warrior (Great Weapons) RoR
The Red Reavers - Marauder RoR
The Rot Knights - Chaos Knights (Lances) RoR
The Styx Battalion - Chaos Warrior RoR
Tong Raiders - Marauder Horsemen RoR
Tong Warband - Marauder Horsemasters RoR
Tribe of the Bloodshot Eye - Marauder (Great Weapons) RoR

Those are some I'd suggest, but I'll admit that my chaos and beastmen RoR lists are far from complete, I'm sad to say! It depends how creative you want to be. You could make a Razorgor RoR that is based on The Thing in the Woods, which is a single gigantic mutated wolf, you could use the names of some of the RoR's listed but change what they are, for example, changing Morghur's Offering from being gor's to being Chaos Spawn RoR. All the units I've listed are in the unit lists.

I'd recommend reading up as much as you can about each unit from my web-links as some are a bit unique. Toxote's Hellmounts are heavily mutated Centaurs and the Styx Battalion are made up of Chaos Warrior armour inhabited by skeletons. So you can have a lot of loreful fun with your RoR's if you do the research :)

Hope that helped!

Thank you a lot Khazmo! i was looking for some inspiration for the VC since i don't know much about lore (become interested while playing), and this is amazing!
