Today, the first Tuesday in October, marks the return of Tannhauser Tuesday to Savage Tales !

With the relaunch by Fantasy Flight this fall, littlewars and I decided that we should return to the task at hand and relaunch our popular Tannhäuser feature with custom factions, tokens, and news.

Today's release includes a full update on the state of the game as well as a full custom Tannhäuser faction!

We are looking to unleash our new U-CHRONICLE feature on a monthly basis. I am trying to finish some of the unfinished work on the BPRD, The Eastern Dynasties, and add more Pulp Hero characters like Doc Savage, the Rocketeer, and others.

If we can line up additional contributors we will release content more frequently. If you are interested in contributing, contact either myself or littlewars on the TannBunker forums.

This is great news! I really enjoy reading your Tannhäuser material and, of course, playing with your custom factions etc. I´m really looking forward to see the completion of the B.P.R.D team as well.

I´ve got some questions regarding Moeller´s H.F. (maybe not the right thread?)

*Does Jackal´s stealth ability mean he can´t be targeted for HTH attacks?

*Can Jackal be targeted with "area" attacks, such as grenades and Zorka´s weapon, (when in stealth mode)?

*Jackal and the Hyenas must now be within 5 squares from each other (instead of earlier 10). Do you resolve this at the end of the turn? I.E. when both Jackal and the Hyenas have moved? Otherwise it really impedes their movement.

and finally:

*Does the Rustung´s strength in numbers apply regardless of where the other Rustungs are on the map?

Best Regards and a big Thanks for all your great Tannhäuser stuff!

1 - Jackal can hide from adjacent figures - Think of him being around the corner. By the rules to use Stealth, Jackal must move. He can still be Bullrushed, though.

2 - He is affected by area effects. He is only not able to be targeted.

3- This is a number that I have been messing with. I play it that they must each end their movement within 5 circles of each other - remember that Jackals don't have to be within 5 circles of each other. I usually have 1 Jackal ahead, 1 behind - for protection.

4 - The Apes have to be adjacent to the figure being attacked and have not attacked this sequence per the rules for the token.

this is good to see

Thank you for your answers. Played the first two scenarios in the Daedalus campaign against the Matriarchy today. I won both games, although the first by sheer luck I might add. Moeller´s H.F. is great fun to play with! My opponent really feared the M.U.R.08!

Awesome news Doc. Thanks for bring back the Tannhauser Tuesdays!

Sounds great! Do you have the figures or did you proxy them?

I´ve got the figures! I even got the Hellboy B.P.R.D action pack already (rebased and ready to go). Just need a couple figures to use as agents.

Awesome, I'll locate the agent figure pics and let you know what I'm using!

Thanks, that would be great!

The BPRD Agents are both from Heroclix Unleashed:

DEO Agent

Gotham Undercover

Thanks again, I will order them soon. Do You have much work left to complete the B.P.R.D-team? I don´t mean to nag about it, but when I read the rules on Hellboy and Abe, I´m sure it´s gonna be a blast to play with the complete team.

There is, in fact, quite a lot of work to do on the BPRD.

Abe and the Lobster are done. But all the others... I have the character cards done for all but the Agents. I need to do the packs and tokens for Hellboy (mostly done), Liz, Roger, and the Agents. Lots of work I intend to have done for the U-Chronicle December edition.

It's good to see Tanhauser Tuesday back. I hope that you've also continued the faction based on the AT-43 miniatures.

I think that in the fullness of time there may be more than one AT-43 based faction....

When I came across AT-43, my first thought was, "Hey, some of that might be useful in Tannhauser..."

The new U-Chronicle is up!

The brilliant littlewars brings us the full Dero Faction!

Check it out!

Great reading, as usual! Do You know if there´s any site where I can buy the Therians needed, for the Dero faction, as single miniatures?

littlewars has added a bonus to the Tannhauser Tuesday feature - the rest of the TOY tokens! These just went up today!

I'm working on keeping to the Tannhauser Tuesday schedule at least until I get Moeller's Hermetics and the BPRD revised for the new rules.

Doktor Kriztov Moeller is posted today.

That´s really good news! Moeller´s Hermetics is a great addition to Tannhauser and since I´ve already got the figures for a B.P.R.D team, I´m really looking forward to the rules for them as well.

I have posted up the revised version of Lady Kataryna Fürstenstein on the blog.

The Lobster is back!

I started off the BPRD revisions with Lobster Johnson figuring that since he can be recruited to other teams he should be the first.

I am trying to decide what the new benefits of LEGEND status should be... Some ideas:

- Allow them to ignore one automatic hit per turn.

- Allow them to reroll one die per turn.

- Allow them to reroll one die per roll.

- Allow them to move through enemy figures.

Anybody else got any ideas?

I'm not sure you should use a LEGENDARY Status as we don't know if FFG has plan for it (example: the Minotaur) and you risk colliding with some of their choices.

On the other hand: Zorka is very powerful, Legend or not. As for the B.P.R.D team, Hellboy should really be a tough s.o.b. so I hope that his characteristics are at least as good as Zorkas´!
