Legacy Factions - Arcane Journals
Hey everyone!
For the past 2 months, I've been working on a series of Arcane Journals for the Legacy Armies in The Old World. Some of you have already seen early versions and provided a ton of valuable feedback, big thanks !
The goal isn't to rebalance or rewrite existing army profiles. The idea is to bring back what brought flavour to those factions in previous edition such as:
- Army-specific customisation (Vampire Bloodlines, Slann Generations, Sacred Spawnings, Gnoblar pets, etc.)
- Armies of Infamy based on what already existed in previous edition (Ex: Cult of Slaanesh for Dark Elves, Cult of Sotek for Lizardmen, 1 Legion of Death per Vampire Bloodline, Clan Eshin and many more)
- Magic Items from previous editions adapted to TOW
- Named Characters (2 per Arcane Journal, to stay in line with TOW)
- And plenty of other thematic options, including a few creations to include elements from the universe (Warhammer Total War, The Age of Reckoning, etc)
I recently added customisation for Maneaters in order to play all the new models from the fantastic Ogre AOS release, including the possibility to take harpoon launchers for mournfang cavalry to represent the new maulbeast cavalry (no need to create new profiles, a few weapon options and customisation of existing profiles does the trick).
Everything has been playtested over the last two months, and the feedback has been very positive. The journals add variety and flavour without changing the power level of the armies or the current meta. It simply offers new customisation and doesn't change the balance.
They are fully compatible with balance projects such as the Renegade Pack, German Comp, or any other community balance pack.
Would be great to continue getting feedbacks to make them evolve for the best. Since it doesn't look like Legacy Armies will receive anything soon, I hope these can help fill that gap for players who still love these factions.
Any comments, criticism, playtest reports, or suggestions are more than welcome!
