1. Strange. In my PDF the border is black allthe way around.
2. Good idea
3. I agree. Will change it.

I'm waiting for Vraks 3 arriving, then i can expand on the Bligth Drone fluff :)

Okay, this is a bit odd. If I open it in Evince PDF reader, it's grey for the Chaos Land Raider and Defiler entries. In Adobe Reader, though, it's black, but it's thinner than the rest of the border.

Hopefully the problem should go away if you re-set the border for all the cells that are on that page to 0.5pt, black.


Another suggestion: change "THE CHAOS TITAN LEGIONS" to just "CHAOS TITAN LEGIONS" on p.16. 'The' is redundant here. It'd then be consistent with the heading "CHAOS NAVY" on p.15, too.

Well i added the "THE" because in the Epic Rulebook it says "THE TITAN LEGIONS" but "IMPERIAL NAVY".

And i'm a bit unsure if i should label the chaos aircrafts as Navy anyway. Chaos Air Force(s?) might be better?

EDIT: Just noticed that in the Epic rulebook there are two coloumns in Imperial Navy and Titan Legions too, but i guess only because there is a Designers Notes and Special Rules box there respectively.

Ah, yeah, I see. I still think it's superfluous, though. I don't think there'd be any harm in deviating from the precedent in the Rulebook in this instance. Similarly, I'm not convinced there's any need for the word "CLASS" in the names of the aircraft, and would recommend dropping it.

Possibly, since there aren't any space-ships involved. I'm not sure. What does everyone else think?

(If you do go that way, make it Air Force, not Air Forces.)

Ok the Red Corsairs chapter symbol needs to be cleaned up but i'm not that happy with the font.

Large PNG version of chapter symbol.
Large SVG version of chapter symbol (OpenOffice doesn't seem to be able to import SVG, but I've uploaded this anyway).

Using Impact for the text, and with the above chapter symbol, the cover page will look like this:

Very hmm rounded your chapter symbol.

Yeah. Best I could do cleaning up the blurry version.

Definitely better. But does it really need to be 7800x11400 pixels? That's huge. A version one-tenth of that size (or even less) would look fine, without taking up nearly as much disk space (that image is more than five times the size of the rest of the document put together), or taking nearly so long to load.

Here a preview:

Cool. I still think "CHAOS TITAN LEGIONS" rather than ,"THE CHAOS TITAN LEGIONS" and "HELL BLADE INTERCEPTOR" rather than "HELL BLADE CLASS INTERCEPTOR" (etc.) would be better, but otherwise it's looking good. Particularly, the 'the' needs to go. It's fine for 'The Titan Legions' in the rulebook, but here it just doesn't sound right.

Oh, and I've spotted another couple of typos. In the fluff-text for the Hell Talon, "Hell Blades vector engines" should be "Hell Talons' vectored engines", and "Imperim" should be "Imperium". I think I spotted them before, but forgot to correct them in the reformatted document.

This looks great. My only new crit would be the 1 column width illustration on page 3 looks strange when centred on a 2 column layout when it does not cover both columns.

Is it also possible to find a better file host?

The picture of Huron is just a placeholder until i find something better :)

Yes the chapter symbol can have fewer dpi :D

Yes the "THE" in Chaos TitanLegions can go. "CLASS" willremain. It is a Thunderbolt Class Fighter-bomber so it is a Hell Talon Class Fighter-bomber.

Thanks for finding the typos :)

Aaaand the winner is: Chroma :D Looks just perfect :D

Oh andit seems the Ruinous Powers bestowed me a vision. I have seen a planet wracked by civil war rife to be raced by the Red Corsairs alltogether in: Epic: Renegades

Only scetched the story up ion my mind.
So far i'm thinking of a planet named Heaven. its PDF is called the Heavenly Guard (or Choir?). It lies somewhat near the Maelstrom and is famed throughout the sector for its jewelry manufactured from some kind of crystalline plant life only native to Heaven. The crystals can also be processed into a effective combustible.
Well so the planetary populace is divided between very very rich crystal plantation owners and the poor workers who work there to harvest the crystals. Harvesting the crystals is a very dangerous process because some hefty vibrations will make the crystal tree fratcure in molekule thin shrapnels which happens to be the trees main means of reproduction. The somewhat frequend mild earthquakes Heaven is subject to adds to this (battles in a crystal forest might be very interesting and disruptive).
So the workers rebelled togehter with a large chunk of the PDF. Why and how i have yet to think about. And why the Red Corsairs become aware of them too. WHY the Red Corsairs want to be there is celar: crystals to power their equipment and slaves to work for them.

Lists included will be:
Red Corsairs Renegate Chapter Chaos Space Marines
Heavenly Guard/Choir Imperial Guard PDF
Rebels

The Heavenly Guard/Choir and Rebels will use the Vraks Renegate Militia army list (at least their special equipment like Malcadors and variants).

Is Corps pronounced the same way as Choir in english?

I guess i will rename the planet to Heavenly. The Heavenly Corps/Choir will be based on Vraksian Rebels but with some unique twists (eg Heavenly Corps/Choir Seraphim = Stormtroopers with Jumppacks and Heavy Flamers).

Depending if i will let the planet be doomed or not i could add their saviours.
Either Salamanders (because this list is also nearly finished) or (fitting the theme) the Dark Angels (perhabs with a slight modification of the EpicUK armylist).

Good? Bad? Thread of its own? If yes then where?

Are you a DW New Adventurers reader by any chance? Their novel Love and War featured a planet called Heaven, infested by some nasty fungal aliens as it happened.

Heaven sounds better than Heavenly IMO. Choir is more pronounced 'quire' compared to corps which sounds more like 'khorpse' and rather different, sorry if that's a crap explanation, I don't speak any other languages.

Sounds good generally though :-)
