The "appendices" to Nishiki-teki are just other (non-free) fonts by the same designer. The one with variant pieces is obsolete because those pieces are all in Nishiki-teki proper now (you can find them in the PDF listing Nishiki-teki's Private Use Area). The basic xiangqi pieces are also in Nishiki-teki at their correct Unicode code points; Westernized symbols are in the PUA, as are Westernized Shogi pieces, though the dedicated fonts also have extras for Xiangqi and Shogi variants.

The current text kind of makes it sound like you need the appendices for variant pieces, but you don't. They're in there already.
