Is anyone adding updates and/or new formations to this program? It seems that communication has gone dark...

**Reavas**

Yeah, I wonder what happened, there are no Crimson Slaughter formations and they have still yet to post the forgehost formation for daemons in the 'formation detatchment' list. :(

**Jimsolo**

So, is anyone else unable to upgrade a Seer Council to be on Jetbikes?

**Thairne**

We're still here. Or at least, I am. But since DA do not have any bug reports or enhancements, theres nothing for me to say

CSM still lacking formations? Death from the skies was added though. Try opening a issue here:

**Crazyterran**

I can't seem to add the imperial space marine to Skyhammer Devastators, and the Stormhawk/fighter squadrons haven't been added to marines as far as I can tell.

Thanks to all of you for your hard work!

**General Kroll**

I raised a ticket on a problem with Dreadnought selection in the Ravenhawk assault group a few months ago and it still hasn't be remedied.

The formation allows you to pick a dreadnought of any type, including contemptors now. But the battlescribe set tells you that you've made an error if you select anything except a standard dreadnought.

**redleger**

Guys, as always great job creating and updating this amazing tool.

In regards to CSM,
Built a list yesterday, decided to run some zombie spam, and realized with I have more than one squad of zombies, I can not make the numbers different. When I add 20 to one squad, it automatically adds 20 to the other squad. Also plague knives are no longer an option for plague marines, but that is not so big as they are standard wargear.

Keep up the great work

I know this thread is about the BS data, but I'm having problems running BS (it's worked fine before) and the BS forum seems dead (the last post was October).

When I start BS (from the shortcut, exe or jar file) the icon appears in the taskbar, but nothing else happens. The other exes start okay, just the Roster Editor that doesn't work.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled BS and Java, but no difference.

I'm running BS 1.15.07 (latest version) and have Java 8 update 91 installed. I'm running Windows 8.

An old post on the BS forum had someone with the same problem, and reinstallation of Java worked for them, but hasn't made a difference for me. Might this be because BS is expecting Java 7, not 8?

Automatically Appended Next Post:
It appears to be data related.

If I delete my data files, it starts up okay and shows me the Getting Started screen. If I download the latest data, I get the same problem as before.

I happened to have an old data download, so I installed that instead and I get a bunch of errors:

Spoiler:

I think these are because the data is old.

The latest update to the data was on the 26th May. Could this have broken my BS? Anyone else having problems.

**BoomWolf**

Erase data, Uninstall, Reinstall. Should fix.

I agree, it should fix it!

Deleted the data, uninstalled BS, uninstalled Java, restarted Windows, re-downloaded BS and installed it. It took me to the Java website where I installed and verified the latest version. Started BS and the Getting Started screen shows. I chose the repository at the start of this thread (the same one I've always used), but still the same problem. Once the data is installed, nothing. Just the icon in the taskbar.

**Remmick_005**

Fantastic work on the data files guys
I have a question / query that may need to be addressed
I'm sorry if this has been mentioned earlier

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.

New person here, but the data file for Farsight Enclave does not allow you to add in the individual member of the Eight. I know Dawn Blade Contingent has them as one big unit, but Farsight Enclave allows you to just add one or two.

Do you have the new rules or the old rules? IIRC the new rules do not allow them to be taken individually.

**BoomWolf**

Correct, the eight can no longer be taken individually.
Most can be replicated by generic commanders though.

**hypnoticeris**

First I would like to thank all the BS Data team

And Secondly... Is Vrosh Tattersoul (DV's Chaos Champion Special Character) included in the data files of CSM Codex?

**casvalremdeikun**

Somewhere along the line, I lost the ability to take Pedro Kantor in the Gladius Strike Force Command. He used to be able to be taken in the Gladius SFC(correct) and Sternhammer SFC(incorrect...for now).

**Dakka Wolf**

Much as I love the scribe I got an issue.
Space Wolves
Heralds of the Great Wolf formation.
Always comes up with the ! to say 'the Heralds cannot have a Wolf Priest(hidden)'.
Wolf Priest is 1/3 of the formation-unit so what's the deal?

**Kommisar Kyn**

I found one with Chapter Tactics, not sure if it's been picked up on yet (I read 5 pages before I gave up)

but basically the Chapter Tactics for Crimson Fists and Black Templars are showing the rules for Imperial Fists (Bolter Drill and Siege experts)

**commander dante**

When creating a SM Captain/Chapter Master, None of the Codex Relics show up (or are they hidden?) And if i have Red Scorpions Chapter Tactics selected, All forms of "Tears of the Scorpion" do not show up

**ziggurattt**

Hey Battlescribe contributors, love your work and thank you!

What is the "official" way to document issues with the data files?

I posted on GitHub, here: https://github.com/BSData/wh40k/issues/2343

Is that the recommended manner?

**Happyjew**

Something I noticed with Eldar Craftworlds the other day - when taking Wave Serpents as a Fast Attack choice (non-dedicated), if you give one Ghostwalk Matrix, it is given to all FA Serpents.

**BoomWolf**

Marine AoD contemptor dreadnoughts lack the attack characteristic in thier profile.

**General Kroll**

A long time ago I raised a ticket about the Ironclad and venerable dreadnought showing as an error when selected as part of the Ravenhawk Assault group. I'm afraid it still hasn't been solved. :(

Im also wondering when Deathwatch will be updated.

**Whittlesey40k**

Space Marine Devastators must have 5 models (1 serge, 4 marines) but Battlescribe allows 4 total (1 serge, 3 marines).

A lesson on why you should always check your codex - I've played two games now with only 4 models in my dev squad!!

Great work on all these data files guys!

It can be a nice feature to have though. I use battlescribe to track my YTD progress for painting. I was able to make a sternguard squad, and remove guys until it only had two guys left.

But it a good thing to remember. Battlescribe is not a codex. It might have all the information, but not a lot of the context, and does have some errors.

Love it though.

**Dakka Wolf**

Deathwatch Codex hasn't been added yet.

**Byte**

Thank you BS team.

Looking forward to Deathwatch!

**edbradders**

The scarblade strike force for white scars won't let you replace the chaplain with Kor'sarro khan

**Rygnan**

I was trying to add a fortification to my 30k Militia list, but the only option available to 30k at all is the Castellum Stronghold. This has been like that for a while, is it something that's planned to be added in? The 40K ones should all be legal as of the new red books

**Crispy78**

Hello, not sure if it's been mentioned already but Khorne Berserkers in the CSM codex are currently getting Veterans Of The Long War for zero points cost. This is both when added as Elites or as Troops.
