'Warhammer 40,000: The App" is now on google play, and to save everyone five minutes here's a quick rundown. It has 3 tabs:

  • An army builder feature that is not yet available
  • A library of all 8E rules that requires the subscription to access
  • A googledocs link to a PDF of the core rules

If you haven't paid for the subscription yet, don't rush.

I was expecting a googledoc, linking to a dropbox, hosting a PDF with instructions on how to use a browser to download the rules from the community site (the instructions requiring the use of Internet Explorer). Good on ya GW.

Anyway, this begs the question as to whether the "Reference all your rules, fast!" feature: is just not in yet, or whether it's not actually a feature but just describing that you can reference rules fast if you have a good internet connection and phone?

I wouldn't bother. At least right now, its not a PDF of the codex or anything, it's purely the rules content, presented by type, in alphabetical order. So you can read all the stratagems in a book in order. Or all the relics. With brand new spelling errors.

I went from loving the Citadel Painting app to despising it. I was using it as a way to track which paints I had, and which I wanted. Then I discovered that when they discontinued paints they also removed them from the app, which was really frustrating to me trying to use it for that purpose.

Yeah it's honestly not even worth downloading as the core rules isn't in a neat searchable format it's just an embedded PDF which you can download already and view in a much easier fashion.

Not sure they really realised that they really need to catch up a lot on Battlescribe in terms of convincing people why they should use the official GW app, releasing it without any real purpose doesn't achieve anything. If it were me access to all 8th edition Codexes would be free, basic army building would be free, and the core rules being searchable will be free. New 9th ed codexes need a subscription or a code from a physical copy you bought, and access to the crusade rules, missions from both the core book and the GT pack, more complex army building (like crusade, and features similar to Battlescribe's subscription model) would all be behind the subscription.

When you have bullied Battlescribe out of the market by chucking your piles of money at developing features, THATS when you go for the shameless cash grab. Come on guyysk

I still use it for reference and figuring out certain paint steps but after the Contrast update the utility of it went way down. Especially after I've made an excel sheet with my various steps.
Not to mention the number of issues I found went up (got like 22 different ones listed in a text file that still haven't been fixed).
And last update to it was at least six months ago. If not more.

I checked and it hasn't been updated since November of last year. Certainly sets a good example for the new one.

GW (and to be fair, a whole lot of companies in a whole lot of industries) often fall afoul of what's called Not Invented Here. Without specific information I can't say for sure obviously but this would be my bet?

And Battlescribe is a fan project that I pay for every year and I'm willing to take it warts and all but I'd be "mad salty" (as the kids say these days) if it were an official product.

The pot is a dark grey but the can is a grey-blue. There are loads of grey blues but I don't think any are a match for the spray exactly.

Most of the time you want to paint over the spray even if it's the same colour because the finish may be slightly different or the tone slightly different due to how it was sprayed and you don't want to be in a pickle if you need to correct a mistake and it's still visible.

You cannot use the Rapid Fire stratagem in conjunction with Auspex Scan. Rapid fire is done at the start of the shooting phase, not as a part of activating the shooting unit.

If you mean the rapid fire weapon type of getting double shots at half range, then yes that part functions as normal.

No, it was the rapid fire strat, we didnt play it that way in the end.

As booley says above.

Part of the explanation can be found in the 9th core rules, there is a small box called 'out of phase rules' which mentions that when you're doing stuff that says 'as if it was the <<whatever phase>>' (like auspex scan does) all rules that normally apply to that phase works as normal, except for stratagems which can still only be used in the actual phase they refer to, not in the 'as if it was the...' mini-phases.

I know I'm behind on the happnings, but the GT rules disallowing specialist detachment is kinda rough on some armies - several who were already having a bad time because of points and general 9th changes. Like, no souped-up shokka, or shoot twice for dread waaagh. No hammer of sunderance and imo tempestus drop force was legit kinda cool and different way to play guard. GSC takes another pretty rough hit, especially with regards to making charges out of ambush. No broodsurge (yikes, augur of the insurgent was actually pretty important for acolytes) and no insidious mindworm either. We get it guys, you really don't want us to play aberrants (stop! stop! they're already dead). I guess they might get some of it back when the codices come out.

I kinda like removing superfluous books, since having to use three books and a white dwarf was a really annoying part of 8th, but it seems a bit rough on the factions who were depending on the specialists detachments to be relevant.

I realized it's gotten out of control. I realize I'm out of control.
Working on some necron test schemes and would love some feedback. Please excuse the crappy 3d printed models and rushed paint jobs.









The first one is based off of the sandstone theme from Midwinter Minis, which involves using texture paint on the model. I thought I would like it better than I do, and I also thought it would be faster than it ended up being.

Right now the purple scheme is my favorite but curious to hear what others think, especially things I could tweak or improve.

Your paint seems a little too thick, unless that's a specific look you're going for.

Other than that I like the bottom one.

Edit: Ohhh 3d printed, thats why they look like that. Nevermind.
