Wraithlords now get to choose up to 2 heavy weapons, and do not TL any more, IIRC.
I was only able to choose two different weapons, not 2 of the same. It does allow the choice of 2 + glaive, though, so that works.

As discussed earlier, I use HQ-Builder all of the time, just a shame it doesn't work on old internet explorer versions (which my work uses, of course). I would be happy to pay to help support if this capability comes in.

It's sad. But unfortunately now used by some libraries does not supported IE8. This is a serious alteration of architecture, not just bug fixes.
Did you try the portable version browsers? They do not require installation and can be stored on the USB-stick. Could you please have a look: http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/google_chrome_portable, http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable

I had a look codex and I am agree with you. Same for wraithknight, not only lord. This fixed and released on server. But possible it's requared recreate this units.


Also IA8: Dreadmob added on HQ

Hello.
This is somewhat of a public service announcement. I am currently one of so-calleed maintainers of hq-builder.com
We are all dreadfully sorry that our service is almost hopelessly lagging behind current releases. We are trying to do our best with what little time on our hands we have to remedy that

First, we ask for volunteer help. Some python/web programmers are needed to bring everything somewhat up to date.
Second, what army/detachment/supplement should be done next? (by default codex: harlequins will be added)

I haven't been able to access your website in quite a long time? Comes up saying web page is not available.

Just signed up to say that I'm a 40k player and software developer in Philadelphia and I might be interested in spending some time to help. I do a lot of Python/Javascript web dev, so it would probably be a good skill match. (My open source code is available here https://github.com/mansam)

Is the source for hq-builder posted somewhere where I can submit pull requests or patches?

Thanks for your reply. I will send the details over.

Nevermind juat accessed it. It is kind of swing and miss at the moment. Sometimes can access your site, other times it says webpage not found.

There are some troubles with domain
I usually do not notice them due to having Ip hardcoded

When making a scout squad (under space marines), it lists the sergeant as having power armour. Also, there seems to be an issue when making a new or certain armies (like blood angels) where when i select create it says error the army must have a primary detachment. Only there are no options to add anything in.

I will look into this.
As for blood angels: it has been reported, and fixed by now.

At the moment from new releases Harlequins and Skitarii were added (troupe and maniple respectively). There is a work ongoing on how to better work with formations. Once it is finished, codices with decurion-like compositions (necrons, eldar, khorne dudes) will be added.

As a refrain, more help from python/web programmers is always needed

A little report.
Recently several small codexes were added to hq-builder.com, but on the other hand lag behind GW releases did not improve.
With thaat in mind, here is my assessment of the project's needs:
* to get rosters up-to-date in short term at least 3 people are needed (more if IA is t be added)
* to keep rosters up to date, at least 2 people are needed.
If there are less people participating, things will be fairly bleak.

So, if there are any web programmers willing to participate, please do

Small bug for Gray Knights trying to add StormRaven fast attack choice and error comes up "Server connection Error" Everything else is working great.

PS: If I had any computer skills I'd love to help but since I'm poor and computer inept then all I have to offer is my moral support :-)

all I have to offer is my moral support

It is appreciated greatly.
And bug reporting is of extremely importance. Although efforts are made to ckeck everything before deployi8ng to server, it is not enough and so bug reporting from users is necessary to nake needed fixes. Most of them are easily fixed (like one you have reported), which is good.
One more thing. It is hard to keep track, so sometimes staff just forgets that rosters are missing or not updated, that datasheets or formation exist etcetera. Reminding them from time to time is a must.

Sweet system. Much appreciated.

Well I found another one :-)

Space Wolf Longfangs
You should start with 2 in a unit one long fang and one Longfang ancient then get the option to add up to 4 more longfangs. for a total of 6 models in the unit.

Currently you start with a unit of 2, 1 longfang and an ancient and can only add up to 3 more long fangs for a total of only 5.


Ps/Edit one more:

Space Wolf scouts when you upgrade to a wolfguard battle leader you cannot upgrade both weapons ie you can only upgrade his bolt pistol you do not have the option to upgrade his bolter
EG: you cannot get a plas pistol and a power weapon or evin a ccw together you are stuck with the bolter.

I've been experiencing a LOT of connectivity/slow loading times on HQ-Builder for the last few months. I used to use it all the time for list building but things seemed to have gone belly-up over the last little while and it's been practically unusable for me. What's going on with that?

On a side note, I'm a python/web programmer, and I might be interested to help out with this.

Well I found another one :-)

I will recheck with my pirated pdf of the codex. These issues are fairl easy to fix.

What's going on with that?

To say frankly, nothing good.
Personally, i have little to no idea for the reasons of lag. Sadly, my system administration experience only goes so far. As far as i can tell, from time to time server process consumes almost all avaiable memory for the system and it stops responding. I would love to get to the bottom of that, really.
Then, there are certain issues with domain; i am not domain holder and do not know full situation.
Well, in worst case a server migration would be in order.

With more and more people going back to playing older versions, do you also support / plan to implement older rulesets?

you do not have the option to upgrade his bolter
EG: you cannot get a plas pistol and a power weapon or evin a ccw together you are stuck with the bolter.

As far as i understand the codex, Wolf Guard pack leader has access to Melee and Ranged weapon lists - both of which only allow to replace either bolt pistol or melee weapon. So, he is indeed stuck with the bolter.

With more and more people going back to playing older versions, do you also support / plan to implement older rulesets?

If there would be people who would take up that task, that support is absolutely possible. As things stand, even keeping up with Wh40k releases (just Wh40k, no ForgeWorld or FB) is an overwhelming task.

Now forgive me for being a little out of the loop with the current development of the site but I checked it out a week or so ago and tried making a Necron force but I noticed there wasn't any options at the time for building a Decurion Detachment.
If this is also the case for the other factions (not having the unique detachments that is) is there a chance you will get around to those?
Aside from that great work, it's great to see something like this being a little more accessible for people to use.

Current plans are: Blood Angels next week, then Necrons (with Decurion), probably with Stronghold Assault and formations from Shield of Baal with them.
Currently there are several unique detachmets (like harlequins, inquisition, asassins), but, regretfully, too few of them

There is no access to the Realspace Raiders detachment, either.

HQ doesn't seem very iPad friendly. The interface is a little clunkier and less informative, and the library of data smaller, than the free Battlescribe app. Does it have some kind of feature to recommend it over BS that I'm not seeing?

Only thing i can say is that is not an application, just a service
That's probably it. There are a lot of things to be done with it to make it passable

Having the lists you made stored online was probably my biggest incentive for using it. Very useful to have a central repository for lists - my group used it communally so it was easy to share them.

Frankly, i had no idea about it. Missed when Dark eldar were updated.
It is there now.

I am happy to say that the repository is now open.

Hello there.

Will there be addded lost and damn? I am using them as my allied detachemnt to the CSM forces. I have noticed that IA:13 is not merged into the list yet, pity.

Will there be addded lost and damn?

After all GW codexes, i suppose.
In case there are other maintainers/comitters, it would be sooner.

If I only knew python I would love to help.

Fortifications from Stronghold assault added

Necrons added.
Since this is first attempt to add formations into HQ-builder, feedback is appreciated
