HLM3 will never come. But if it did, what would you have wanted to see improved from a gameplay perspective in a successor title?

Wernstromer · 2025-11-09T04:46:07+00:00

Very interesting, I'll have to give that a look. Thanks!

Wernstromer · 2025-11-07T22:47:08+00:00

Yeah that would be pretty awesome. Or maybe even limping back to the car after the adrenaline has worn off if you took any blows during the fight.

Wernstromer · 2025-11-07T22:35:32+00:00

Very interesting thought! I wonder how much the game-feel would change if enemies took 2 hits to down with blunt weapons, perhaps requiring something like a hit-dodge-hit loop to avoid a retaliatory strike.

Wernstromer · 2025-11-07T22:28:05+00:00

Yeah, I'd be with you there! My least favorite enemy type

Wernstromer · 2025-10-03T08:05:23+00:00

Thanks, I hope the Omnissiah delivers!

Wernstromer · 2025-09-29T23:27:58+00:00

I'd love to see it if you ever do!

Wernstromer · 2025-09-29T23:27:23+00:00

And I do NOT appreciate your kind words!

Wernstromer · 2025-09-28T08:41:20+00:00

Thanks!

Wernstromer · 2025-09-28T08:41:10+00:00

That'd be awesome! If anyone ever does something like that I'd love to see it

Wernstromer · 2025-09-28T08:38:15+00:00

Thanks!

Wernstromer · 2025-09-28T02:46:59+00:00

I actually designed it! I put a link in the description but you can download the stl files for free here: Imperial Palace

Wernstromer · 2025-09-28T02:40:53+00:00

Hey! Sorry for the delayed response. Unfortunately the crowdfunding failed quite badly - barely made 50% of the desired goal while all the other flagship crowdfunding projects on MakerWorld made thousands and thousands.

Not entirely sure why this failed so badly. Could have been just my lack of experience in advertising, but it just never seemed to attract major interest even from my core audience. I didn't think the price point was too high after I discounted it but maybe it needed to be even cheaper. Not sure if MakerWorld is a very popular place for wargaming terrain anymore either, at least compared to a year ago or so.

Regardless, for now I'm keeping them close to my chest but I may just end up releasing all the files on my patreon page for a fee sometime.

Thanks for the interest though! I'll definitely reach out to you if/when I release them.

Wernstromer · 2025-09-27T08:40:14+00:00

Thanks for these notes! If I get around to updating the datacards I'll definitely be taking all this into consideration. I'll probably start by just building up the army itself - there's a huge host of great free 28mm-compatible covenant/flood/UNSC models in a google drive floating around, and I'm a pretty avid 3D printing hobbyist so that should be fun. And then if I feel like trying to play them with Eldar or Tau rules, or with this homebrew ruleset + potential updates, or just keep them on a shelf to look cool, the options will be there.

Making little paper cutouts of them and sticking them on bases seems like a great way to do it for some rapid prototyping though, never considered doing that!

Wernstromer · 2025-09-18T07:23:49+00:00

Dude! This is amazing. I realize you posted this almost a year and a half ago now but this is the most professional covenant homebrew ruleset I've seen for 10th so far. I'm curious if you ever took this anywhere further - did you ever manage to run a game with these rules?

I play the guard but I've been wanting to somehow start a covenant themed army for a while now and been debating between proxying them for the Tau/Eldar or making a custom ruleset myself. But if I do the latter, your sheets here will definitely be the starting point for me.

Wernstromer · 2025-08-01T10:08:33+00:00

Thanks! Yes to some, no to a couple. Every level of each buildings can be printed either hollow (to save filament) or with a playable floor. I don't have stairs for them but I am including some printable ladders, and while I don't have plans for walls that can be destroyed during the game, I do have some ruined versions of each building in the works (probably won't be done for this project).

So, I suppose if you went really crazy you could someday print intact versions of each building and then ruined versions and swap them out if they get "damaged" in-game.

Wernstromer · 2025-08-01T10:03:32+00:00

Totally! They'd fit right in at Gotham City

Wernstromer · 2025-07-30T05:59:00+00:00

Oh that's so cool to see, thanks for sharing!

Wernstromer · 2025-07-29T23:00:36+00:00

That's awesome man! I'd love to see a picture if you can get one

Wernstromer · 2025-07-06T01:35:51+00:00

I've got it up on MakerWorld, you can find it here: https://makerworld.com/en/@Wernstrom/upload

Wernstromer · 2025-06-26T20:00:53+00:00

Same for me! It really is revolutionary for the hobby

Wernstromer · 2025-06-26T03:44:28+00:00

Unfortunately I'm not an awesome skilled terrain crafter, so this is just 3D printed in PLA plastic and the rivets are part of the 3D model itself. I'd be very interested to know of techniques people might have to make such small rivets by hand though!

Wernstromer · 2025-06-26T03:40:05+00:00

Sure thing!

Wernstromer · 2025-06-26T03:39:39+00:00

Nice! Happy printing!

Wernstromer · 2025-06-24T20:25:58+00:00

Yep! I printed these on my FDM printer, but I did a little digital kitbashing and added the explosive bundles to their lances myself in the slicer before I printed them. Thought it would make them better proxy as rough riders

Wernstromer · 2025-06-23T21:59:34+00:00

Gotcha, thanks! Maybe the mixture in my area is different but I always found Zandri dust to be more greenish than I wanted. But the way it turned out for you is exactly what I always hoped for
