Hive World Terra

Warvault Top List now back and running

Following the previous news almost a month ago that Warvault.net had vanished in mysterious circumstances, the community has now grouped together and the site has returned!

Further development is going to be made to create a new, improved version, but for now the guys at Warvault have re-opened the original version.

So, with voting now re-opened and working again, go and vote for Hive World Terra!

Rollcall downloads temporarily unavailable

Having moved the Rollcall application to another host after our current host was rather unclear on their new Terms of Service point about software downloads, the Rollcall download is temporarily unavailable.

Since about 7am this morning, the new server the file is on has been down due to a hardware problem. The host are working on fixing the server, but it's one of their newest servers using newer hardware, and so they don't currently have a part in stock! Hopefully everything will be resolved soon, and apologies to anyone wanting the Rollcall application.

Update (21:00 GMT+1): Our host has finally got the part installed and the server is now up and running (and has been for a while, only I was late checking). The Rollcall application should now be available for download again. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Sieges and Necromancy

As promised, Simguinus has added a definition for the Siege of Altdorf, complete with updates from the 4th Edition Orc and Goblin Armies Book.

He has also added a further necromatic entry, with a brief history of Frederick van Hal, who is best known as the creator of Vanhal's Danse Macabre.

Von Carstein and Vanhaldenschlosse

Fresh off the press from Simguinus are definitions for Konrad von Carstein and Vanhaldenschlosse. A definition for the first Siege of Altdorf is also pending, although it is currently on hold while Simguinus adds more information to it.

Thanks again to Simguinus for his contributions, and don't forget that we accept Encyclopedia suggestions from anyone.

More battles and currency

Simguinus has been reading fell books for his latest additions. Taking reference from the Warhammer Armies: Undead (4th Edition) book, he has added definitions for the Battle of Four Armies, Battle of Hel Fenn and Battle of Grim Moor. The Imperial currency definitions have also been completed, with a definition for the Gold Crown now being added.

Thanks to Simguinus for his continued work. Hopefully these additions will help answer someone's questions.

Battles and currency from Simguinus

This morning, Simguinus, our resident Encyclopedia updater, added four new definitions to the list.

If you need to know your currency, conversions for the Imperial Pfennig and Schilling are now available.

If your preference is for battles then the Battle of Grunberg and Battle of Grootscher Marshes now have their own definitions.

Thanks again to Simguinus for his continued work. At some point in the near future I'll hopefully improve the Encyclopedia. Check out the Suggestion of Encyclopedia improvement thread for more information.

Hive World Terra is two years old!

Exactly two years ago today the new HiveWorldTerra.co.uk website went live! Since then the Encyclopedia has grown, the FanFiction section has been added and Dawn of War content has made its move to Skins@HWT.

Here's to another two years and many more two years of Hive World Terra after that!

Warvault goes MIA

The Warvault website (warvault.net) is currently unavailable. Apparently they had a hacking attempt at some point in the last five hours and someone deleted all of their files. They're currently back up and running with a temporary forum and planning to rebuild the community, but in the mean time the Warvault Web Ring voting won't be working

I hope to see Warvault back soon, as strong as ever, and as long as other projects and Final Year Exams don't get in the way too much then I'll be helping out where I can.

Coat d'Arms Conversion Chart available

Coat d'Arms paints (owned by Gladiator Games) used to supply Games Workshop's paints when Games Workshop sold 18ml pots. Since Games Workshop changed paint supplier, Coat d'Arms paints have continued to supply the original paints under their own names.

The Coat d'Arms site used to be under the Gladiator Games domain, but has now been moved to CoatDArms.com. Although the new site lists the old Games Workshop paint name on each paint's product page, the original conversion chart no longer seems to exist. Having recovered it from the archives of the Internet, the Coat d'Arms paint to Games Workshop paint conversion chart is now available. All paint names link to the Coat d'Arms paint product page where possible.

New event definition added

New definitions have now been added for Constant Drachenfels' Poison Feast and Henrik Kraly, the murderer of Vargr Breughel. Both definitions come from Jack Yeovil's great novel Drachenfels.

Thanks to Simguinus for the definitions, who is hinting at there being more to come!
