Is it just me or is there NO POSSIBLE WAY gw could make their stuff less printer friendly? I promised I'd play the game at least once if I didn't have to pay to do so, but I much prefer hard copy. On the other hand, "here's a page that costs about $.50 in ink to print with three lines of useful text on it." I suppose we can just wait for Wahapedia.

guess old habits die hard, too much colour for an inkjet and suspect they will look horrible from a monochrome laser.

also to be honest a lot of wasted space, some sort of summary, in easy to read black and white will be good

Well they're all 100% new, there's no changes to hunt.

Provide a baseline, then.

Latest tomorrow morning you will have full color-coded spreadsheets including an statistical analysis on reddit.

That sounds like a challenge!

All future rules will be in STL format. You'll need to 3D print them.

If you print them out yourself how are they meant to sell you datacard packs?

Wait, what? Are you complaining about not being given a physical copy for free?

In addition, please don't create unnecessary waste. It's a fairly safe bet that many of those rules will be changed within the next few weeks, forcing you to reprint them.

If you absolutely have to print those rules, just print the ones you need for your upcoming game.

"We listened to our community complaining about 10th being too simple, so for 11th you have to 3D print a rubrics cube for every unit."

Well not everybody has printer. And odds are gw ones are better quality than what i could get with cheap printer.

Mainly waiting for app though. Until then screenshot on phone. Then decide long term solution.

Considering the price of ink these days, it would probably be cheaper.

Select the pages you need and print them to a PDF printer. Put PDF on phone.

You're welcome

It’s a bit of a faff but relatively easy to strip out all the extraneous visual embellishments from the cards if you’ve access to a PDF editor like Acrobat Pro.

I'm just going to transcribe everything to Excel format anyway, so... *shrugs*

The file format only functions on the Citadel™ Wraithshaper™, the GW-branded exclusive 3D printer.

If a unit has Lethal Hits and Sustained hits, does the extra hit auto wound also?

The real question, does he print in fw/gw resin quality only?

Well, the brand of resin it uses comes on a spool size that only works with GW's printer, you won't have much of a choice.

seems like everyone was expecting points to be dropped by now considering how much activity there is on here lmao

How is that different from any ink jet printer?

I'm not a filthy xenos player, I much prefer the Citadel™ STC Assembly Machine™

No. You roll one die. It is a critical hit. Lethal says that hit auto wounds. Sustained says that hit creates a new hit. That new hit isn't classified as a critical hit. Otherwise you could create a logic loop for infinite hits.

or the even cheaper version, open the pdf, hit ALT+print screen (on windows, others may vary), paste into painbrush, crop as desired, hit print

Saving the Xenos data sheets I instinctively named them Eldar, Dark Eldar, Imperial Guard etc.

Though I did save the Neo Squats as Legions of Voltron or whatever they're called.

I went with Craftworlds, Dark elfs, Guard, and Squats (plus also simply 'Tau'), but yeah. The attempted rebrandings still have no weight.

And 'Chapter XX' for the snowflakes just for organizational purposes.

Oh. Many of these are a single page.
This is going to be rage filled day, isn't it?

At least enhancements have point costs.


Yikes, they really did the 'this is what it costs for 10 models, even you only bring 7'

at least we can be certain that not paying for upgrades will be totally balanced and will not cause any issues whatsoever

oh god what has GW done

Set unit sizes. Set upgrade unit sizes. Every weapon option is free.

This is hell.

my units of seven plague marines and unit of seven blightlord terminators may be crying slightly wondering why two of them must die
