Melcavuk Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) Some of you may or may not have heard about my Midnight City project, the weird sciences and clockwork marvel of the Mortal Realms centred in Ulgu that was the primary focus of my Empires of Industry Battletome and featured on the Warhammer Tv army focus. Battletome:https://artisansofsigmarhome.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/btmidnightaugust-1.pdf With time having passed I wanted to revisit the project, and look instead backwards into the history of the city before they reached their prowess in the modern Age of Sigmar. To this end I have started writing an Allegiance, and Warscrolls to depict them during their long isolation during the Age of Chaos long before they had outlawed magic within the city boundries. This will produce a very different look at the Midnight City, before so much was lost in the age of chaos and they were giving over to xenophobia and anti magic bias. So now for the rules so far: The Allegiance abilities focus more on the isolation of the city, integrating the concepts of stealth and movement for life whilst the command ability is very much about a combined armed approach with heros marking the way for units Midnight doesnt have a unique spell tree, even when there were wizards in place their primary focus was technomancy and enchantments, to this end the warmachine traits are added to allow personalisation of warmachines Apologies for any blurring, the site has upload limits.

Melcavuk Posted March 8, 2021 Author Share Posted March 8, 2021 Whilst the core of the city focus, being around warmachines and clockwork constructs hasnt changed, the new warscrolls will depict a time when Technomancy was a viable route within the city and enchantments aided their rapid development of engineering marvels. To this end things like Witchhunters are not prevalent within the city walls as they arrived long after, with their warscrolls replaced with Magisters designed to help motivation, repair and innovate within the city using their own particular brands of embedded runes in their Singing Blades. Similarly my manned construct The Ironsworn Templar is not present in these early years of the city, instead we see Cogsworn Templars becoming the mainstay of guardians, Magical steamtech constructs that use the brains of Gargants used to wielding hefty bodies as basic guardians and heavy lifters for the City. In future years these would disappear fighting wars beneath the city and manpower would replace them in the Templar harness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinthMusketeer Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 It is cool to see so much passion and effort come together into a full piece of homebrew content. Especially with such nice conversions. I hope it inspires others to attempt similar endeavors! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flamingwalnut Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Absolutely inspiring! While I personally prefer working from official tomes just to make things easier for others, I ADORE this project. So many wonderful ideas and absolute dedication to those masterful conversions. Is there more conversions of the early city on the way? Or perhaps a full curated library of your work? Would love to see more, can't get enough of the detail and style. Truly inspiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
