I have a few comments on the Tyranids:

-New stuff in (I'm assuming you're working on this)
-Tyrannocyte should be under slotless (with Tyrant Guard) as you do not purchase them with a unit.
-Endless Swarm should have 3 units of Termagants (not 2) as it was an early misprint.

There are two endless swarms. Are you referring to the apocalypse formation or the normal formation?

-New stuff will be in as soon as we get them
-The Tyrannocyte has been changed a day or so ago, now we have to wait for a release.
-Which Endless Swarm do you mean? Because I fixed something about that some time ago.

The official endless swarm has 3. If you bought the dataslate early on ePub, then you will need to delete and reinstall it to get the update. This goes back to the days when GW had a FaceBook page and it was brought to the attention of GW Eddie, so then had them update the book. That was a week or two after release.

Was toying with something for another thread. Set up a roster with 'Show FW models' active. A couple issues I noticed:

- Captain Silas Alberec appears for each Space Marine Chapter as an HQ choice - should only appear for Exorcists.
- Captain Darnath Lysander appears in the 'No Force Org Slot' category instead of the 'HQ' category.

The most recent SM imperial armour nerfed the contemptor Mortis down to BS 4. It is bs 5 in the SM catalogue in battlescribe.

Fixed and thank you!
The other SM-catalogues (supplements, siege, etc) already had it nerfed.

I recently tried BattleScribe on iOS and wanted to take a Fortification for my Eldar army. I had to add a full "Fortifications" army, which is then listed separately. Is there another way to just add the one Fortification that most detachments allow?

Yes and no.
We 'could' include the entire fortification-part in each Codex.
But that costs a lot of time, additional file-size and even more work when we have to fix a mistake (We'd have to fix every Codex).
In the past some Codices had fortifications, others had them partially and some had nothing.
That is one of the reasons why it was just added as its own file.

As I understand it Battlescribe will have some changes in the future which allows us to do this, but till then it'd be better if we leave it like this.

I have the Fortifications force type, but no Stronghold Assault in my Catalogue. I went to appspot, RandomHit, etc., and have no Stronghold Assault.

It's called "Fortifications and Stronghold Assault.

If you really can't find it, here is the file at the moment: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hodghgsk5wrndv1/Fortifications%20and%20Stronghold%20Assault.cat?dl=0

AM 7th Ed allows Manticores and Deathstrikes to be taken in batteries. Not legal.

Is there a way to build Kill Teams?

I reported the AM thing

Not sure what you mean..
We could make a special 'FOC' for Kill-Team, but some versions of it require totally different units with different options.
There are also too many different kinds of Kill Team, so the question is: Which one do we follow?

Getting a problem with the ork codex on a kindle - when I try to add a troup it crashes out. I have deleted the data and redownloaded - any next steps?

The Dark Angel's roster lacks the ability to select a number of Heavy Weapons (Assault/Plasma Cannon). There is only a toggle box, but you can have two heavy weapons in a 10 man(right?).

On mobile, when adding in a SM Terminator Chaplain, there is no option to select 'none' for the Crozius Arcanum arm (Power Armour), making it impossible to add without an error.

Please delete

Nope, you're confusing them with CSM. DA tacticals, as all SM tacticals, can only take a heavy or special at 5 and a heavy AND special at 10. No such thing as 2 heavys for us. Cause, you know, this would tacs actually worth something.

Before we get questions!

BA now have two files:
1. The old file, which will be removed in a month or so.
2. A copy of the old file, but with the new units from Death Strike. This will be the file that gets updated with the new codex.

It has the non-option on the PC, so it should be on the phone too.

Making some lists and noticed a couple of things. The only functional one is the Diabolical Playthings menu in the Covens file. It only allows you to select one option; the book establishes no such limit.

Also, a couple of typos. The Scourge submenu in the DE files lists the word Weapons as Wearpons. In addition, in the Reaver upgrades, the word Reaver needs to be capitalized.

Thanks for the great program!

Just rechecked, it doesn't have that option. It does on the PC version, so I'm not sure what is up with that.

Also, the Covenite Fleshcorps formation is misspelled. It's supposed to be 'corps' like the marines, rather than 'corpse' like a body.

Noticed an issue with Inquisition earlier today.

If you select Henchmen with special weapons in a squad, and include more than one, the minimum required on the weapons increases per each henchman selected.

IE: 1 Henchman means you need to select one regular weapon, and one special weapon. 2 Henchman means each henchman needs to select two regular weapons and two special weapons, etc.

Chaos Space Marine Defilers do not have the Battle Cannon listed in their profile. You can swap out each arm but the Battle Cannon should be unchangeable.

edit,
FW Chaos Contemptor Dreadnought, close combat weapon/chainfist inbuilt combi-bolter upgrade, plasma blaster is listed but no weapon profile shows up. same with the chainfist status/dreadnought close combat weapon profiles, both mia

@Saint0z: They are working on the Chaos-codex.
I'll pass on the message!

I can't reproduce it.
But Acolytes, for some reason, with special weapons could still take normal weapons which - though correct - makes no sense.
Or are you talking about other Henchmen?

Lol, changed it.

It has been quiet for some time, that's because I was mentally preparing myself for the BA-release.

Talking about them: It's released!
There are quite some bugs, I'll try to fix them as fast as possible.
Some of those are known, others unknown; so every bit of feedback is useful!
When those are fixed the next step will be to make the Wargear-selection as clean as possible.

Did the BS writers remove the hover over pop up boxes?
I see now to view unit stats, you have to right click and click the eye symbol?
Whilst the pop up boxes were a little unweildy size wise, they were much faster and handier to reference.
I miss them :(

They were removed because they caused issues.
I was hoping to see them as optional, or perhaps a pop-up when you hold in Shift.

PS. The data writers and BS-programmer are two different things

In the Blood Angels Codex, the Chaplain is supposed to be in HQ but is listed under Elites.

Just updated my data files and I'm still getting the error on mobile, when I get home I'll upload screenshots.

EDIT: looks like the error was different than I thought: the data file just wants two selections from both inquisitional armory and acolyte weapons for all selections of "acolyte with special weapon"

I fixed the Chaplain and other stuff, will release it this evening.
Hopefully we will get some more feedback before than.

Acolytes are changed now, but I'm not sure if I changed it before or after the release; so I'd wait till later today

Blood Angels Assault Squad Sergeants can't pick two pistols as of right now. They should be able to trade their Chainsword for one and Bolt Pistol for the other. I want to Cowboy up!

You're too late I changed and uploaded that yesterday!

Librarian-weapons is something I should look at.
I am probably going to do the same as with Chaplains.

Does everyone understand how I did the Sanguinary Priest?

The new BA file... well the Sanguinary Priest causes an error when you take 2 weapons.

And the Librarian Dreadnought cannot take any options (like heavy flamer or meltagun).
