In battlescribe it means taking a second force and setting it as a formation detachment.

Exactly, everyone step away from the ledge.

Two detachments. Add a force and all that jazz.

One CAD
One Formation

So...two...detachments...(read that again if it helps)

Read my posts again and try to add a Riptide wing or Forge host formation to a primary Detachment as described above. This shouldn't be so hard to explain. Particularly with the "know it all" approach being thrown around in here, dude...

Wow...

So I am unsure what the issue is you are exactly having... but yes.. as you stated.. and too recap.. you have a CAD of whatever faction you want. Since Riptide wing is a Tau specific Formation, you will need to add an additional force, then add a 'Formation detachment' (in the dropdown), then add tau/kauyon/Montka 2015, as the faction (in the second dropdown). Then when you go into your army list, you will see both detachments. Regardless of which is your primary, under the formation detachment, you select "riptide wing" from the list...

This is a more detailed explanation of what the other guys were saying in less words, but not incorrectly.

Cheers!

OK, I knew/know all that but thank you. At least we are moving forward.

Now that I'm talking the same language as someone else. OK, Riptidewing now works as an add a force(didn't a couple of weeks ago, guess I should have checked hehe).

So now being on the same page. Try to add a CD Forgehost. There's others too, but this has been way to painful.

First, thanks for you great work! Really appreciate it!

The Space Wolves Deathpack (from the Start Collecting box) seems to be missing.

The Hunter-Killer upgrade for Land Raiders costs 10 points for Space Wolves Ironwolves though it should be free.

Hello,

Trying to find the Dominus Maniple in BattleScribe with no luck. I've looked under formations for Skitarii and Cult Mechanicus. Little help please?

Ork HQ's seem to have lost the ability to take Mega Armour, both Warbosses and Big Meks. Unless the option has been moved and I'm not seeing it?

Nevermind, I see. At some time in the last few months two new HQ entries were created for "Big Mek w/ Mega Armour" and "Warboss w/ Mega Armour". I'm not sure I understand why these separate wargear-specific unit entries were created. Meh, it works I suppose.

I'm not seeing any unit entry for Leviathan Dreadnoughts in 30k for the Legiones Astartes

I love the work you guys do, keep up the good work!

Hey so ive tried to report this by the proper channels but for some reason it doesn't work. I have a points mess up found with "The Eight" Formation which is located in the Mont'Ka Campaign Book. The Formation as a whole is 20pts. over costed.

Noticed a glitch the last couple weeks: A Sternguard Squad is not considered valid unless it has 4x Veterans in it, even if you replace 2 of those Veterans with Veterans w/ Heavy/Special Weapons.

There are a bunch of errors in the gladius:

It allows you to take formations that are not part of the gladius:
Pinion Battle Demi Company (if you select CT:RG)
Hunting Force & Stormlance Demi Company (if you select CT:WS)
Bladewing Assault Brotherhood
Speartip Strike
Stormbringer Squadron

None of these should be in the Gladius.

If you're operating under the (incorrect) assumption that all command/core/aux formations are interchangeable then all of the choices from the Scarblade & Talon should be available and Pinion, Hunting & Stormlance should be available regardless of chapter tactics since they have no chapter tactics restriction.

Either way it's wrong in it's current state.

Talon Strike Force:
Allows chapter tactics other than RG and doesn't flag a validation issue.
Is missing:
Shadowstrike kill team
Raptor Wing
Skyhammer Orbital Strike Force
Shadow Force
Ravenwing Assault Group
Shouldn't have:
Armoured Task Force
Centurion Seigebreaker Cohort
Landraider Spearhead
Speartip Strike
Stormbringer Squadron

Scarblade Strike Force:
Allows chapter tactics other than WS and doesn't flag a validation issue.
Is missing:
Strikeforce Ultra
Shouldn't have:
Bladewing Assault Brotherhood
Centurion Seigebreaker Cohort

Angels of Death things need to be added? Or is that already in the works?

Hi. Thanks for the awesome work.

I was hoping the new csm formations for BL and CS would come to battlescribe soon.

I would like to make an awesome suggestion

Where you quote the rules, like rending page xx brb, can you do that for the dark vengence rulebook?

Like

Rending pg xx (DV:yy)

would be awesome, as a lot of people use that mini rulebook.

Are you sure they're different? The 6th ed mini rulebook had the same page numbers.

Hi, I noticed something weird in the Codex:Orks Combined Arms Detachment selection after updating my repository this morning. There is a "Waaagh! Ghazghkull Options" under the "No Category" tab.

As far as I can tell all this does is enable Waaagh! Ghazghkul Supplement relics for a normal CAD but I cannot find anywhere in the Supplement that says this is allowed.

I hope it is; that would make my lists much better

I'm like 80% positive they are different, let me check when I get home and I'll update

We originally included this just for APOC, 'cos the 1st ed of the supplement only allowed the doodads to be used with its Great Waaagh! detachment (or its formations) in regular games. The new book doesn't have that detachment, so when someone specifically asked us to extend this option to work in a CAD, I figured: sure, why not? I don't see anything that prohibits it.

I've seen people argue the legality of using the supplement relics in CAD, but no real decided outcome. Are you suggesting that the wording in the relics section implies that it is allowed or is it just a generalization?

If someone has the chance, the Fist of Khorne formation for Khorne Daemonkin has the power weapon choices for the Berzerker Champion at the wrong cost. It has them free when they actually cost 15 points.

Reading it again, the new edition does still say the Gubbinz can only be taken with the detachment/formations in the book. I'm leaving the option in, but I'll add a rule stating they can only be used in a CAD "for friendly games / with TO approval", or some such.

Has this been addes yet?

No issues with Necrons, just want to say you guys rock.

There seems to be missing options for the Chaos Space Marines v195, given that you choose Crimson Slaughter many of the HQ choices go missing, from what I can see the following are missing: Daemon Prince, Abaddon, Ahriman, Kharn, Arkos, Necrosius, Typhus, Lucius, Huron and Fabius.

I just installed the mobile version of Battlescribe on my phone, after downloading the warhammer 40K repository, I can't find Crimson Slaughter as a choice...

In the mobile version of Battlescribe, Carapace armor for the Arch demagogue is 20 points, it should be 5 points, according to IA 13.

Looks like there isn't any update regarding the new version of the Farsight Enclaves supplement.

IIRC it's because the wording changed: nothing in a CS detachment can have VotLW

It's in there. It has been merged into the Tau Empire: Codex (2015) datafile. Just select the "Farsight Enclaves" from "No Category", and you will see the Farsight options.

The Hounds of Abaddon formation is supposed to give Mark of Khorne for free.

Ah, quite hidden... thanks.

Have the formations for the Crimson Slaughter been added as of yet?
