Darth Alec Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Welcome to the new home of Battletome: The End Times. Rather than build a blog or other ways, I figured that using The Grand Alliance as the hub for my hosting and posting about BT: ET would work out best for everyone. Thanks to Ben for creating a site where I can easily host the files for everyone to find! What is Battletome: The End Times? It's a fan-made conversion of the original End Times scenarios. Like many, I was pretty hyped up about the End Times. Unfortunately, my gaming group lacked a lot of the key players, and I had none. So I never got to play them! When AoS arrived, I decided that the game was so well suited to scenarios that converting them would be easy enough. I want to play out the end of my favorite fantasy setting! Thus was born this massive tome. It is faction neutral, for the moment. Meaning you can use whatever army you have, without penalties. It also includes a number of Times of War, so you can play and feel truly in the setting. Current progress report: Version 1.0 is finished! All battleplans, Time of War rules, deployment maps and other things are finished. The Battletome: The End Times is done. Enjoy! Fluff/extras for battleplans: Nagash Glottkin Khaine Thanquol Archaon Beneath you'll find each download as they are available. The full Battletome: The End Times is considered the master version. Each sub-tome contains only the parts that the original book contained, so you may have to download others to use the relevant Time of War rules.

Veterannoob Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Sweet! We only got to play a few battles in ET and were unaware of the pace of books coming (and what would follow!) so planning events really didn't pan out well. Thanks for this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strength_Hammer Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 This is fantastic. I really enjoyed the ET and got plenty of games in during that time, but I am no where near done being fascinated by the story and the games capable of being played in the setting. Thanks for tackling this project! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Alec Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 You guys are very welcome. A little bit of feedback goes a long way. I hope this lets you enjoy the awesome story more than you otherwise could. And get some cool narrative games out of AoS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Alec Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 Minor update: After some playtesting on wednesday, and a tournament tomorrow, I'll be adding some stuff to the Nagash section. Might not make it into a downloadable update quite yet. But getting a PDF of Nagash has jumped a bit in priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Alec Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 Thanks! Feel free to use them if you'd like. And spread the word, these are for all those people who didn't get around to playing the End Times back when. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the hard work Thanks Look forward to this just getting better and better. I have noticed my scenario-writing skills improving just over the course of the project. On the other hand, I forgot that I wrote this. Just managed to make myself fist-pump. Settra is the man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Alec Posted June 5, 2016 Author Share Posted June 5, 2016 Battletome: Nagash is finally here! Though it has been available as part of the main ruleset for a while, it is now finally available as a standalone download. Download the PDF right here on TGA! It's been updated with all the deployment maps and some minor rules corrections as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Alec Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 After a long delay, I've found some time to work on the remaining Archaon scenarios. Only 4 scenarios from the End. And I just breached 40 000 words. It's a long document Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 This is cool. Already tempted by GWs 5-book pack of the End Times story volumes, now there's a way to play through it too. Thanks Alec, really impressive stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oppenheimer Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 This is great. Old World battleplans are exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom W Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Great job on reviving the End Times..I would love to do something similar to some of the really old classic warhammer campaigns like 'Bloodbath at Orc's Drift' or 'Terror of the Lichemaster'. I'm a fan of all those old 2nd edition campaigns which had pre-determined armies. That's real nostalgia! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how I got through this. I picked these up today. Soft copies of the battletome! So satisfying to see them in my hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
