Hi!
The rules are available once more at teh Epicentre, but at the moment
they website is unavailble for a little while because is doing the work
to upload the army cards to it and generally fixing the site up.
Heresy was made by Ken and I as a d10 based system. It takes what we
consider the better aspects of SM, epic40k and Dirtside II. Its a funky
little game, I quite liked how it work, but it may not be everyones cup
of tea. The game is stand alone, I even made counter for it.
Tell you what I'll upload a copy to the vault, but I'll leave out the
counters since they are large PDF files.
