As you may know by now, Warhammer-Empire is launching a new online campaign this summer.
 
"Treachery and Greed" as it was baptised, will see many an Empire general go campaigning in the fair land of Tilea.
 
For this, we will need suitable troops, hence this conversion contest :

Treachery and Greed

The third warhammer-empire online campaign

"Mercenaries are disunited, thirsty for power, undisciplined, and disloyal; they are brave among their friends and cowards before the enemy; they have no fear of god, they do not keep faith with their fellow men; they avoid defeat just so long as they avoid battle; in peacetime you are despoiled by them, and in wartime by the enemy."

The year is 2203, and the various warring states that make up Sigmar's Glorious Empire have settled into an exhausted peace. But thousands of mercenaries still fill the land, and everywhere there is pillage and death.

With the collapse of the Marienburg Alliance, the Tilean states have again turned upon each other. Proud Remas, the remnant of an ancient empire, faces the expanding naval power of Miragliano. In Sartosa, the pirate prince gathers his war fleet. These three greater powers dominate their neighbors and seek each other's destruction.

All three hire vast armies of mercenaries, little realising the horrors they will unleash on their own people. And all the while, greenskins raise their ragged banners and build ramshackle ships.


- Fight for profit and glory in Tilea and the Border Princes! Support Remas, Miragliano or Sartosa, or join with the raiding forces of the Badlands.

- Strike a balance between personal greed and the needs of your comrades.  Each player will obtain personal gold through conquest, but will depend upon the support of their fellow faction members to succeed. Bribe and betray your rivals. Assassinate princes, extort kings, and carve out your own realms. Gain titles and honors, for as long as you are strong enough to defend them!

- Expect all the features of the Crisis in Marienburg campaign to return, including a detailed map, extensive background, and special campaign army lists.

- If you can't play games of Warhammer, you can still participate by submitting 'fluff reports'- short stories that can be as valuable as victories on the gaming table.


The campaign begins in summer 2010. More information will be on the way soon.

Hello all!

As many of you are no doubt aware Warhammer-Empire has been experiancing vairous degrees of downtime for the last couple of days. These problems are fixed and it should be smooth sailing ahead!

Basically what we've done is move to a new host that should be able to accommodate the site much better than the old one. It is unfortunate that the transfer took this long, in ideal conditions this sort of thing could be done over the course of an afternoon, but unfortunately there were several setbacks along the way that led the prolonged downtime.

Our new host is Devoted Hosting. And I have to say that so far they have been very helpful and a pleasure to deal with.

Also please check out the new Warhammer-Empire IRC chat channel! It was of great help during the downtime and hopefully will continue to be a great addition to the site.

The winner of our last conversion contest, Steveb, came up with a very original idea for the summer edition. Voting now open !

Check out the sticky in the Brush and Palette for more information.

May 26th: The upgrades to the forum software have been completed, for a list of new features please look here.

Unfortunately there were a few bugs caused by the upgrade, there isn't anything too major but please report any you find here.  Thanks.

May 21st: There will be some planned downtime while the forum software is upgraded on Monday May 25th, at about 4am UTC and may last up to 2 hours.

Some parts of the site may remain working during this time but the forum and any other part of the site that uses information from the forum will likely not work.

We are sorry for any inconvenience.
