Well, a quick update! We are ALMOST finished with the latest incarnation of TLRB! We have added several important key elements as well as fixed several issues found on the previous version. Some of them (but not all) are:

• Revised Psyker system: Now, rather than being just a plain test, it is Leadership dependent. This means that over time, your Psyker can become better at using his power!
  
• Flight!: The Core Rules for Flight are introduced. These would be restricted by Skills and specialized wargear, but should prove a great new tactical addition to Squads capable of this type of movement. Although not ready yet for introduction, expect the firsts fliers when the Kroot Mercenary Squad are included (shortly after TLRB!)
  
• Imperial Guard Regional Platoons: Now you would be able to play one of six specific kinds of Imperial Guard; The Cadian's Shock Troops, Catachan's Jungle Fighters, Death Korps of Krieg, Jenkala's Urban Fighters, Lyubov's Ice Guards or the Mordian Irong Guard. Each will provide unique advantages and challenges for the player to the point that each Regional Platoon makes them feel like a whole completed Squad!
  
• New Skills! Expanding on the Technology Category has added few more options to enhance gaming.
  
• New Weapons, Armor & Wargear. Including the correction and balancing of some of the old favorites.
  
• New Hired Guns... and the balancing of existing ones to current economics. Now players would benefit from hiring these specialists, throwing a tactical curve to opponents!
  
• Introduction of Special Characters. Unique individuals for you to use on your campaigns... expensive, but worth every credit.
  
• Hints on new Squads being developed.
  
• Fluff, stories and background material... galore!
  
• Many fixes... too many to count. TLRB is now ~210 pages!

We are waiting on some contributors and designers to finish the final touches on some tasks. Hopefully TLRB will be out for your Holiday vacation.

It is also to note that this will be the last release of TLRB as one book.... or at least we think. As the Core Rules become very solid (and not much should change), we plan to split TLRB in two: Core Rules and Squads. The Squads book will have the Weapons, Armor and Wargear section, as well as all the Squads (and related Appendixes. The Core Rules will have everything else. This does not mean that the Core Rules are done (we still have more to add!), but it is a way for all players to keep track (and print) the Squads section as this material gets updated (wasting less paper and resources.)

See you on the release party!
