Warhammer Army Project
Warhammer Army Project
The Warhammer Army Project is a project by Mathias Eliasson who creates homebrew army books for the factions of Warhammer Fantasy that never got them, as well as updating the 7th and 8th edition army books now that WHFB has been destroyed by Games Workshop (6th Edition for Bretonnia...showing us what faction GW considers to be the red-headed stepchild of Fantasy). They are awesome books with pictures and fluff, and you should totally make tactica's for them, placing your own inputs as to how shit works.
Current Armybooks
Each of these are available in 8th Edition (for those factions that never got an 8th Edition Armybook) as well as the author's fanmade 9th Edition. The individual Tactica's vary on which Edition they focus on but if you want to add sections to them dealing with the homebrewed 8E, please feel free to do so.

Good Bad and the Ugly
=This project is run by a Tyrant with a few advisor and the occasional referendum on rules
- One man has absolute power on what the theme of an army should be, often times he'll latch onto some random fifth edition information on an obscure unit and use it as justification to break an army (giving Bretonnia handgunners in all but name).
- He uses WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) as logic for equipment options, toughness etc. for a game without any official models.
- Certain armies are treated inexplicably horribly for no reason. Lizardmen, no longer being able to field lots of monsters and losing armor throughout in an edition where most infantry units gained armor.
- Wood Elves and Dark Elves are somehow less knowledgeable in magic than Humans. With the the eight lores being more or less split between them on based on arbitrary [alignment].
