Hi,

All army books are free and downloadable as a pdf.

Today, they updated the Nippon army book to 8th edition:
NEW Nippon Warhammer Army Book - Free PDF

A comprehensive update of the Nippon Warhammer Fantasy Battle Army for 8th Edition rules.

This army is completely unofficial and is not endorsed by Games Workshop!

Mathias has just released a major revision of the Nippon Army book. This is a significant re-work of the army list and background fluff.

One of the appealing reasons to play a Fantasy Battle Game with a Nippon army is that you can actually find Samurai and other suitable miniatures. If you;re really, really lucky you might even find some.

Main changes (from Mathias' notes):-

- A new history that combines Japanese creation myth and history with links to other races in the Warhammer World incl. Cathay, Dark Elves, Skaven, Marienburg and Chaos.
- A new religion added to the Culture and Customs section.
- A Land of Nippon section which is partly based on old WHFRP material and part written by Mathias.
- All new Clans, based on 8 of the clans from Total War: Shogun II, to which Mathias has added his own background.
- All Clan Mon are completely new.
- A completely new Lore of the Kami.
- All Special Characters are new or returning from the 7th edition list.
- Sumo Warriors, Ronin, Red Devils and Kabuki Dolls are back.
- New units: Yamabushi, Wako Pirates, Great Guard, Yabusame, Battle Maidens.
- Increased casting value for Borne on the Wind.
- Mikoshi Shrine can now give blessing to all units.
- Fan of Command is now one use only, 35 pts.
- Clan Mon are now priced individually per model.

* All Legend of the Five Rings units, characters and references removed (except some artwork).
