Thats why I make my lists on battlescribe and then print them with all of the rules. I have also a printed paper with all my relevant stratagems. So I have all the information I need at hand.

It's been a while since I youched the AoS one but it saves everything offline IIRC.

The aos app is baller. If the 40k one is done as well ill never need anything other than my phone to pkay. Which is huge.

Been mulling it over and decided to hold off on getting too wound up on Black Templars right now. Mainly because with everything GW has going on with Marines I'd rather wait and see what they do with the codex update than build the army and find out that points are going up a second time or something.

GSC are another army I'm waiting to see the final results on so I know how it'll work in the new edition, so it looks like I'll be staeting this edition either working on Chaos Knights to serve as vassals to a Chaos Reaver that I still need to assemble, or Iyanden (probably the latter as my FLGS still has an Eldar Apoc box in stock).

It has something over the AoS app already: buy hard copies of 9th ed books gets you a free digital copy.

On the AoS app, can you save the lists you make to a PDF and then print them?

Yeah, I save mine as PDF all the time.

Well if you can save 'em as PDFs and then print them, that sounds good.

If the app includes a Crusade portion, allowing you to make OOB and unit sheets, that'd be even better.

Can I not save them as Imperial Guard Regiments?

Not keen on overly trusting PDFs.

The Inquisition would like to know your location.

I find myself sitting on the fence here a little. Its most certainly quicker to add little sticky bookmarks to a physical book for speed of looking up rules. But generally, I know the rules and looking them up is a very marginal rare occasion that the convenience of having them all on my phone and not lugging 20kg of books around to every table far outstrips the need to have it available within 6.3 seconds.

Writing things lists down though, yeah no BS and other list builders are invaluable for just fiddling with points and wargear without having to rub, scribble and keep track of paper.

All the stratagems I use are kept in a trading card folder for ease of access and anything I need dead quick I keep on little index cards. Carrying books around just to look up rules is an absurdity to me.

If the new App could improve on the way BS presents the info that would be awesome, something along the lines of Buutscribe would be great. Also the fact that it re-generates the list and puts you at the top whenever you return to it is dead annoying.

But the convenience of having all the rules summary in one place for everything I have is great.

What is a mapquest?

Mapquest is a pre-Google maps website where you'd put in a departure and destination, and it would give you a list of directions to print out for you to reach that destination. "Go 400 yards then turn left. Take the I45 for 4 miles", etc.

Ah right thanks - I am pre Google but not come across - was it an American thing?

I also find its alot easier to discuss a rule in a book with a several people rather than someone trying to show it a number of people on a tiny screen with very small writing.

It shouldnt pose any problem. For their servers were the connections come from doesnt make any difference. The only thing is the broadband of where the event is taking place, and GW can do zilch about that.

Yet the tournament app has funny habit of working like junk comes the big tournament. Hopefully gw has bothered with better servers rather than be cheapskate

It's strictly Astra Militarum Files now, as IGR isn't compatible with Imperial Word anymore.

I recently switched to using Tempestus Scion files because it takes up less space on my device while also deploying 10x faster...


Actually related to Indomitus, but did anyone else start noticing the web queueing reappear? Maybe it's only local to me but it had completely gone away a week after GW reopened and just started appearing again yesterday.

It could be GWs next level marketing ploy to drive sales, but the increasingly level of anxiety they seem to have about the quantity of the Indomitus release is starting to worry me.

You don't need to worry. Queuing is appropriate as the site crashes all the time with big releases as people needlessly spam F5.

My store still has pre-order slots available. For all the anecdotes of stores pumping out large numbers of boxes there will be just as many not hitting their allocation.

I think it's more to ensure the site can handle the traffic come Saturday. I got the "I am not a Robot" captcha test earlier today.

Reducing the max preorder to 3 per person is a pretty clear sign that they're afraid of scalpers.

I am glad I have zero interest in either faction so I can just sit on the sidelines and giggle if it's a fiasco.

I'm very interested in both sides, but Marines are taking a backseat until I know what they're doing with them, and Necrons are more of a novelty for me. This edition looks like it'll be one of a lot of army building for me though, especially since I'm working on reworking my hobby space so I can stream while I hobby like the dirty casual I am.

Yeah, I guess to clarify what I meant, I think enabling the queue makes sense, but it really just makes we wonder what sort of demands they're predicting vs stock.

Though them using the queue at all probably has more to do with them investing in it post lockdown than it does with them being any more concerned about website stress compared to previous releases.

I mean they already bought the ability to do it so might as well use it for stuff like this.

Huh. Reading that preview, i thought GW had done a clever thing with the "execution force" rule, making it change the cost of a vanguard detachment to 0 - a fun little bonus for if you want to bring multiple assassins.

But nope, in fact, it changes the command BENEFITS to "none."

From "none."

What a very excellent, "designed for 9th edition" rule you've got there, GW. Very good rule to preview since a lot of assassin players will need to keep that in mind!

How the hell do you take a patrol detachment for the inquisition when they have no troops choice?

If nothing else though, it does confirm the false advertising in the Pariah rules preview: they clearly intended to make it impossible to field non-Inquisitor Inquisition in other Imperium detachments, just like the actual rules do, and completely at odds with what the rules preview said.

Again, not false advertising, just a lack of understanding of their own game.

And, for your sake, I actually asked them on FB about this:

Me: Was it intentional that bringing an Assassin and an Inquisitor in the same detachment results in the army losing its detachment rules?
Them: We can't speak on behalf of the rules team but you can send question in to 40kfaq@gwplc.com for consideration in future updates.

So, do with that what you will.

As someone who edited the Warmahorde FAQ pdf to make them more printer-friendly, I take great offense at the "trivially". It required quite a bit of work on my part, and I'm earning a living with computer stuff!!
