Hey everyone, the issue is that I just haven’t had time to familiarize myself with the differences between 7th and 8th editions. If anyone can provide a good primer on this — with maybe some ideas on what current Solo Heresy rules don’t make sense in 8th — I’d be happy to update it.

update for 8th???

Any news on an 8th ed version?

No news on a 8th edition version?

@Abaddon: Thanks! The latest version is the most current, although I'd like to do a big update for 8th edition.

this is brilliant are u still updating it?

Ah. I never looked at the orks, thank you for informing me.

@[Katls] Kommandant Frisk: In the forward, I was referring to the Ork "Natural Instincts" rules in Epic 40K, which govern how an Ork unit becomes autonomous when separated from its Nob. You can find these described here: http://www.netepic.org/uploads/3/4/2/0/3420807/09_ork_army_book_v5_final.pdf

It would be interesting to adapt the Solo Heresy rules for use in Epic 40K, although a bit tricky due to the emphasis in Epic on keeping units in formation. But I think it would be possible if you applied the Natural Instinct rules described above to govern movement, at the cost of a more chaotic game.

So you mentioned in the forward that there were similar, offical rules for Epic 40k, but I can't seem to find them. I would love to practice agaisnt an automated opponent while I got more familiar with the ruleset. Regular Warhammer 40k is cool, but I'd love to actually run massive armies (i.e. a titan legion) without bogging the entire thing down and destroying the balance of the game.

On Solo Heresy itself, this is a great tool to help someone new play against eachother or if you want to represent a hostile NPC faction in a narrative campaign. Good work.

Thanks -- let me know how it works out!

Thanks!! This is perfect. Now to print out these suckers and give it whirl on the tabletop! Great idea btw!

Resolution of individual cards is 750x1050px, intended to be printed on wide playing cards (2.5x3.5in).

@Rogue428: Never got around to making a PDF, but here's a hires version of the assets -- should be easy to format them for printing: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/85y22cxthrracrg/AAC0Oxg-sJyJQuJBjCxE6Afya?dl=0

Any chance you have a PDF or something of the cards as shown here? I would love to print them out and use them IRL.

It's a lot to keep in your head when you're starting out. Check out this handy reference sheet for the 7th edition: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/597998.page

This looks great, im going to give it try and give it a shot solo, tho I am not fluent with all the basic rules yet so it might be a tad difficult for me.
