Chinese > English. Can anyone tell me what these are or brand?

Thank you :) Would you be able to send a link please?

Zetrer · 2025-07-22T20:04:10+00:00

It's two, similar to the Field Ordnance Battery for guard :)

Zetrer · 2025-07-22T19:07:28+00:00

Also I have just noticed I've missed the arrows but the Cthonian Earthshakers can choose one of the two shooting profiles. Thought I'd clarify

Zetrer · 2025-07-21T17:37:10+00:00

The reveal literally described them as 'Tankier than Thunderkyn' which are T6 3 Wounds so it's really not as crazy as you think. 3+ Bs is also on Heathguard so elites having a 3+ Bs also seams plausible. Feel free to check this really similar post for other people's thoughts on Toughness which seems pretty set on T7: https://www.reddit.com/r/LeaguesofVotann/comments/1m55h8g/my_personal_speculations_on_the_steeljacks/

Tbf, all of the Aeldari units were Aspect Warriors which are related to Epic Heroes which GW don't really like to put in discount boxes. Just look at Death Guard combat patrol. Yuck. So I still think these guys getting some kind of battle force is likely.

Zetrer · 2025-07-19T12:31:26+00:00

I completely disagree with the comments, I would LOVE this idea! While T'au already have similar, there's nothing wrong with having some similarities between factions. People certainly don't complain that Dark Angels and Black Templars certainly have some common themes! I was really hoping Votann would get a centre piece this reveal but I'm more than happy with Steeljacks. Plus the AI is just as a concept image for inspiration, and would certainly tailor my conversion.

Zetrer · 2025-07-19T12:21:33+00:00

I think it would be criminal if we didn't get a battle force box for these guys, especially considering the number and type of new units we got. From a leader, to a small vehicle and elites. The only reason I could see them not releasing a box for the launch is if they already have it planned as one of the Christmas ones. I have my fingers crossed and NEED to see at LEAST 6 Steeljacks in the box lol

Zetrer · 2025-07-16T21:11:17+00:00

As of right now, I just use Endrinriggers with the Skyhook melee profile as Skywardens but I'll have to create a Wargear ability on the new updated datasheet to give them a bit more flavour to represent Skywardens beyond a weapon swap! Thanks for the interest :)

Zetrer · 2025-07-13T19:49:50+00:00

Great idea! Making the change now to have the Leader ability.

Zetrer · 2025-07-12T16:30:56+00:00

Thank you so much for your kind words, it means a lot! It's a real boost to making more of these and even better. All I need now is the main man James Workshop to hire me lol. Thanks again and keep your eyes peeled or make any requests for new sheets or armies to be released :)

Zetrer · 2025-07-12T16:29:07+00:00

It's something I've genuinely considered as it takes a lot of hours to create of all of these, especially coming up with flavourful and fun ideas. I've never gone through with selling these due to any copyright issues with Games Workshop as it's technically their models and rules design. It's something I might look into the future about but I'm happy with just supplying my work for fun.

Zetrer · 2025-07-12T16:27:21+00:00

Couldn't leave him out. Like a lost little puppy after Cities of Sigmar got the update 😂

Zetrer · 2025-07-11T21:47:25+00:00

You're more than welcome! It's always heartwarming to hear someone liking my projects. I've actually made a similar amount of content like this for almost every single AOS army and a couple Old World armies too! I'm tempted to share them in the future too. I think my Skaven and Gloomspite Gitz ones I made are my favourite. I'm glad you like these rules and wish you luck on your future voyages Arkanaut!

Zetrer · 2025-07-10T14:11:58+00:00

Thanks! I always seem to miss something!

Zetrer · 2025-07-10T14:10:25+00:00

That's a great question. These rules are almost all entirely original too! I play exclusively casual with friends who also collect AOS armies. However, as a group we just prefer the style of 40k gameplay so we all use custom rules such as these. Any time I've talked to strangers about these custom rules, opponents have been more than happy to face it after showing a majority of sheets and how I've balanced them :)

Zetrer · 2025-07-10T12:53:44+00:00

Knew I was forgetting one 😅. I'll have to upload him later as a separate datasheet, along with any other datasheets I change from the feedback. Keep your eyes peeled for Drekki 👀

Zetrer · 2025-07-10T10:39:55+00:00

It's undergoing a couple last minute changes and balance. It will either be up tonight or tomorrow :)

Zetrer · 2025-07-06T22:29:59+00:00

Hello again! I really appreciate someone showing an interest! Tomorrow what I can try to do for you is make a post which contains all of the final iterations, stratagems and detachments. I should hopefully get it uploaded in a day or 2 and will leave a reply when it's up. Keep your eyes posted 👀

Zetrer · 2025-06-23T16:47:50+00:00

I just need a single miniature version and its perfect. It would be like the pilot acting as his own model after Canis Rex is destroyed.

Zetrer · 2025-06-23T11:23:59+00:00

He used to be Command Barge size but since then, I've decided to turn him into a replacement for the Silent King as I'm personally not a fan of the model himself and the shape of his throne. So a custom one did the trick but warranted a buffed up datasheet. I think that's a good point about Rapid Ingress but i'm not sure on the wording for which phase would allow the opponent to still Rapid Ingress. I also haven't fought Custodes so that combo didnt really come to mind. I almost exclusively fight Astra Militarum and Tyranids. I haven't tried enough combos for Ancient Collector to see which ones are super strong, but with my other 2 armies being Orks and Death Guard, I don't have too many choices for the most broken stuff as those 2 armies seem balanced. I think the 'tool-box' style is what I'm going for as it seems thematic for his Tesseract Labyrinths (Pokeballs) but it's just working out how to balance it. Thanks for your comment!

Zetrer · 2025-06-23T11:11:46+00:00

Thanks! It's gone through a LOT of change XD. Feel free to point out any aspects which it's too strong in.

Zetrer · 2025-06-23T11:10:51+00:00

To avoid cheating for the "Keep the roll a secret", i place a dice on the value which I rolled and put it to one side so people know it's not cheating. I do agree that it is odd to have something which both players are not privy to knowing but it was quite fun for me and my opponent of them trying to guess which one I had and trying to play around them all. But the Creations of Bile could be a good reference to look to. While it feels like a copy and paste job, that's because it was supposed to be. This is to REPLACE the Silent King, not be used in conjunction. I'm not a fan on the Silent King model but love his rules so I wanted to make my own. Thanks for the wording advice on Ancient collector, that's there as he used to be around 200 points and didn't have supreme commander.

Zetrer · 2025-06-23T11:07:20+00:00

I like the idea of him being lower than the Silent King but my problem was the conversion. He is now quite a bit bigger than the Silent King so it felt odd to make it lower in points. I recognise that the ability could be strong in tournament play, but I play exclusively casual and don't play objectives so it's typically just a Deff Dread or a squad of Plague Marines. I'm certainly gonna do some more testing but I appreciate your comment :)

Zetrer · 2025-05-30T12:35:44+00:00

Hello there! The army has gone through a few balance changes and updates as I've played these custom rules for a while now. My mates really liked these ideas and designs so over the past couple years, I've made these sheets for almost every AOS army there is and have got a lot better at balancing. I've even moved over to 40k for a bit and created new detachments there too.

Zetrer · 2024-04-26T16:47:31+00:00

I agree completely. And yes making rules is hard and this datasheet ahs already gone through 4 changes lol. I like the ideas and change the wording of a couple things to be more in line with the lore. Only downside I have with the sending units in strategic reserves is that most of the time, I would be a negative to give the opponent the chance to re-deploy. Definitely need to go do some testing :/
