About the Project

This has been a long time coming. The origins can go back three years ago when I first came up with the idea of Magic and Tech but then failed to carry through with any serious development. It has been only recently in the past 4 months that I really put any serious effort into rule development. My original plan was too wait til I had more done and wait til the Spring Clean Challenge has passed til I created a project page dedicated towards this but that is a week away; plenty of time to take Q&A for those who are curious and until v0.04 is up which contains everything right up to shooting rules as the current v0.03 only contains movement rules. If I get enough interest, I will be happy to put up Magic and Tech v0.03 but until then, I will be happy to put up a few images that I found that helped me get inspired to move this project along.

Here they are! Previews of the parts! Some of these were duplicates so there will be notes as to how many will need to be printed in a build guide that I am now writing up.
These will be part of the Combat Witch Set that I will have going on sale this July with physicals being made available either in July or August!

Combat Witch WIP and Other Major Updates!

It’s happening! In a few days; the initial .stl of the Combat Witch will be finished!!!!!

As said; it will be a few days until these are finished and water marked. Also as said; these are the initial .stl’s and will become available to all in July after Historicon. I need to write up a few articles still to populate the website and set up a myminifactory page and a few months later; an Etsy account as well as launch a Patreon.
There will be a build guide so you can assemble the combat witches. This is in a lead-up to a kickstarter in March 2024 that will expand upon the Combat Witches by giving those who are interested more options to build their squads.
Later in 2024 will be the infantry to accompany the combat witches. More will come as the rules Magic & Tech will eventually reach a point to where I can turn a word document with rough diagrams into a true and proper rulebook with pictures and graphics.
So watch this space as well as my linktr.ee for further updates!

The only pic I managed to take during the games. Well, to be exact; a staged photo. The Apache is new to the proxy roster. See you all during Historicon as I work on getting V0.17 ready soon.

Here is the updates lists of units that are in the first two main factions. I am done all of the Naratian units with maybe 1 final check over and I am a bit over half-way done the Penar lists. Next are the Irregulars/ Militants and then the neutrals/ demon cards. I am looking at another two weeks of work before V0.16 is released.

Beta V0.16 is still in editing as I have over a hundred unit card entries to update! Some mechanics have been removed or reworded for ease of play. I have a feeling 0.16 is gonna be the best one yet!
Fall-In 2022 was 2 weeks ago and I am still editing the game with a few unit entires a day. I could be done V0.16 in a months time. See you then. Also, here are some pics from Fall-In 2022.

And here we go! Beta V0.15 is done and now live! This was a lot of work and I found a lot of proxies were not made! So cards have been updated and improved so there is less cards to deal with. It is easier to see who is who now on said cards. Some stats have been changed and wording made easier to understand; I hope. So take a look and enjoy V0.15! https://www.dropbox.com/s/gvr7s17f928t0db/Magic%20and%20Tech%20V0.15%20Packet.zip?dl=0 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CV9IwKBL9Dc9r2wCQS7i2ofy7i1VKoO-/view?usp=sharing

Whew. Historicon is over with. I did unfortunately caught covid but the feedback and the loot made it worth it. V0.15 is being edited with what energy I have available to me and soon, it will be released!
Throughout the 5 games, I had 22 players play and lines upon lines of notes and feedback to implement. So enjoy some pics as I go through my work.

Had another playtest today and some changes will have to be made again. Mostly to unit stats but I think the mechanics are there; just need some ironing. Expect V0.14 by months end! I hope.

Sorry for the delay.

V0.10 won’t be til sometime in January as I create more cards and finalize the force points and begin creating the Table of Organization and Equipment for Narata, Penar Providence, Cultists, rogue mages and orc insurgents.

I do better if I have a physical model to move around as I prepare for play testing. These are Empress Miniatures from their MODERN US DEAL 1 US1, 2, 3, 4 set. They are acting as a proxy for my Narration Army Infantry Squad. I also made an order to Eureka for their JGSDF minis and it came with a dog. So the dog handler's head is from statuesque miniatures.I do better if I have a physical model to move around as I prepare for play testing.

These minis were cleaned, sprayed with a gray primer and then sprayed with a Tamiya Olive Drab spray. I think. I should check on that and make the proper edits as all of my work is done at the shop as well as check what color went what for the battle dress uniform and the vests but the brown is Tamiya NATO Brown.

The war dog came after I started painting and the handler was quickly made and I accidentally skipped the green spray. Once they’re done, no one will know anyway.

Magic and Tech V0.09 will be coming along next Saturday so until then.

Well, it is not the update I hoped for but it is still a significant update with rules clarified and new ones added. V0.08 will have rules for mecha and the optional rules would be expanded.
Also added will be two unit cards. A war dog team and a war golem controller. I will try to have this ready for next month. See you then.
