Hello Rogue Traders!

This week we have a designer diary from writer Jason Marker, detailing some of the work he did on the warfare section of Battlefleet Koronus !

Rules for actually getting all those Regiments down on the ground and using them .

Yes i am truly waiting for this book.

This rocks my socks

Too bad I'm not running a game at the moment, lol!

This looks pretty complicated. Are there any efforts being made to either make a "narrative" and "hardcore" version?

Don't worry, those rules can be used to run mass combats in a narrative manner, just as normal combats can be, without any models, maps, or whatever. I mean, that's what I did during testing, because I detest using models in an RPG (since if I wanted to use models I'd play 40k tabletop again).

I mean, dice rolls and stuff are needed, but no more than in any other combat, or at least that's how I found it.

I made sure that, when I tested it, it was an easy to use and flexible system, otherwise me or my group wouldn't end up using it either.

Hope that helps

Even a mini-centric guy like me doesn't want to deal with armies of minis. As long as I can use them as normal for the Flashpoint encounters, I'll be happy.

I bet some 40k TT players will want to bring out their goodies. It sounds like the system is designed to be flexible, which is a good thing.

At the minimum, it should support bizillions of Dark Eldar troops who can morph into Female Space Marines that strap ship's lances on their heads (as a trap) while fighting inside highly detailed Cargo Bays that can do warp travel that is just too darned fast.

Thank you.

Nonsense! Any fanatical cultist worth his salt will gladly endure such torment for the pleasure his dark gods!

The proper way to torment him is to rub his face in the fact that there are space elves, space orks, space goblins, space halflings, even space skaven... but not a single space dwarf to be found.

Didnt we get the Demiurg instead? And dont forget the Space Vampires, Space Undead, Space Vikings, Space knights, Space nuns with guns....yeah the list is endless.

I think only the Tyranids really get to be all alien. Tau do come a close second. But they are the Manga guys.

Demiurg = cool

Squats = what I leave behind in the toilet... and it's not semi-solid gold.
