The automata that started it all...
The Tykan-Pattern Probe Automata
This part is all about them weasely gray critters, the Tau, and all their lovable tools friends working for the Greater Good!
Except not, because they're working for Chaos now. Ha! Updated for 8th Edition.
Codex 5 Supplemental - Detachment Xenis
This section contains rules for fielding Tau Empire units in a 38th Company army.
Welp, someone asked, so I might as well keep re-doing these.
Section 4 supplemental codex: Lunar Guard
So here's the part with all the Codex-specific rules and pony-oriented wargear. With this you can use the Pony Captain template to make your own totally illegal OC profile for use in... well, your head, I guess. There are worse ways to kill an afternoon.
I guess next would be the human and Iron Warrior special characters, and then units that are unique to the 38th Company detachment, but that doesn't seem as much fun. Ah, well.
Codex: 38th Company
The revised 8th Edition rules for the Detachment Equiis generic units. Unit pictures by Omny87. I'm pleased to report that my earlier difficulties of possessing too much income have been resolved.
This section references pony units that can be taken as part of a 38th Company detachment or even used to form a purely equine detachment.
So I was just doing my usual thing, creating written art while EZTP handles the graphic kind, and then he drops these on me
Based on this design:
Well, finally started re-doing the codexes. This one took me an entire evening, so I can't help but feel the time would be better spent writing? Oh well. Here's your 8th Edition stuff, part 1.
This section contains pony Special Characters, as well as the Harmony Psychic Discipline and Detachment rules.
Codex: 38th Company Section 1 - Detachment Equiis Special Characters and Special Rules
Special Rules
I recently finished the Graham McNeill Mechanicus trilogy Priests/Lords/Gods of Mars. It was really good.
Also, this:
'You destroyed our vessel,' said the eldar warrior-woman. 'Now we destroy yours.'
'Illogical,' said Saiixek. 'You will die too.'
'To prevent your master from acquiring such power, we would die a thousand deaths.'
'Outrageous hyperbole,' said Saiixek, slumping against a control panel as the life flooded out of him.
SQUEEEEEEE!
So EZTP, after about a month, has completed the long-awaited (by me, anyway) group banner for the Age of Iron!
Gaze upon all the glorious horses in gaudy metal! GAZE, damn you!
So I got a PM request from Warsmith Keagan asking me to inform my readers that his stories are unrelated to Age of Iron. Apparently it's been a problem.
In a worrying trend, I have more news about Age of Iron that doesn't include an actual new chapter of anything!
I've set up a group on DeviantArt to host all the commissions I've had done for the story in one place, which are starting to pile up quite a bit. Here, check it out.
We may have reached a point where there are more man-hours being put into drawing for this fanfiction than writing for it.
I regret nothing.
First up, we have several ink drawings from Omny87 that I'll be using to refurbish the Codex:
So, one day one of the artists that I patronize got real fed up with being an artist (apparently), and basically deleted his entire gallery. Luckily I saved all the pictures I commissioned, and for a while the picture links still worked, but recently they just stopped, for some reason.
So, after completing a massive million-word epic and setting up a group for it, naturally I looked back upon the fruits of my labors and thought to myself: "Sweet Gods, that's a lot of text. Isn't there anyway to give people a concise explanation of what happens in the story so that they don't have to read all that crap?"
This was followed, also naturally, by the follow-up thought: "And can it be done in crayon?"
