Honestly, I've spent so much more money than I ever would have in this hobby *because* of wahapedia. I don't think GW understands how much the ability to look over army rules and datasheets for stuff you don't have can drive future purchases and the impulse to start a new army.

New players are likely to buy the app or buy new models they might not actually need. Either way makes GW money, and if you're an experienced player using a 3rd party system you're still buying their models so they really don't care.

They tip-toed around exact wordings every time free rules were mentioned with a ton of riders. You don't say it in roundabout ways when your being honest, you do it when you know you're (technically not) lying to your audience in an advertisement. From memory: "At the edition launch Indexes will be free." "You will be able to freely access your armies rules and build armies at the start of the edition." "These free rules will later be updated and replaced by your codex in a system that replaces rules rather than adding complexity" etc. All things that didn't need extra words unless they knew they had to be added for legal reasons.

Sorry you found it so frustrating to use. It IS beta software after all. The UI is made to be able to develop against and we'll be refactoring it once we're able to. Accounts are required at this point partly because we store data on a server-offline mode is coming-and partly because it's a beta test so we need to be able to analyze how people are using it. Editing wargear is a bit of a pain, not due to issues with the app but due to some oddness with how certain weapons have to work and rather than special-case the weird ones, we standardized the behavior for the test data. If the community decides that a different approach would be preferable, they have the ability to make those changes, as our data is democratized.

Late because I just found this channel, but to explain what happened with Canada for those who don't know. We have a province in Canada, Quebec, that is majority French and arroga- I mean proud of it. Recently they passed a language law mandating French for everything in province, including streaming services. The next thing about it is Canadian French is NOT France French. So GW would have to dub/translate everything in the service again specifically for one province in one country. It would be the American equivalent of Louisiana declaring Louisianan Creole as an official language and demanding GW adapt everything for that language. On top of that, there's some weird clauses in the law, that (the way it's written) allows for Quebec authorities to demand, at any time, user databases among other confidential business information, and can impose financial penalties if they aren't given the information within a short time frame. Time will tell if GW bothers to separate it by region and just block Quebec, but I doubt they'll spend the resources. RIP

Wahapedia is alive. He's just not in a hurry, currently updating Warcry, Killteam and some other stuff.

Major respect to Mrs Brad for her efforts with this task! As a non-tech savvy player I struggle to navigate these and do miss a good codex 👍👍👍

I know Waha isn't dead, they recently updated the Kill Team tab with the newer teams. Took them a while but sure enough, they got there. I'm willing to bet they're waiting for the first Codexes to drop since Index stuff is free. Sure, it's quite annoying to constantly be swapping between pdfs to know your stuff, but without paywalls involved at least it's manageable. So yeah, expecting Waha to be updated when Codex Space Boy Scouts and Space Bugs drop... Allegedly.

Or you can just be like me and manually assemble your lists on there.

The settings to fix New Recruit's weird export colors are in the "Background" section. You would think it's the "White Background" checkbox in the "Text Export" section. You would be wrong. You're going to want to pick something in a nice medium grey or thereabout (I did 175/175/175) for the background color and then turn transparency on the image all the way down. This will let you use the theme in a quasi dark mode, but will "export pretty" with nice black text on muted grey background.

Brand new to the hobby, been binging these pods while I work. Love what you guys are putting out, keep it up!

I don't know what it is but every single time Brad says "19-dickity-two", I laugh. Watching the editor navigate Rosterizer is a delight. With all the others, I can tell they're showing things off, they're clicking buttons and making examples out of stuff, they know what to do and where to go. With Rosterizer, I can almost tell just by the way the mouse moves and how they keep selecting the same stuff over and over (at least it looks like that) that they are legitimately just trying to understand what they're doing. It's a bad look, but it's very charming for the editor and I appreciate their efforts. It is so, so funny that Eric found the Dragon theme on New Recruit and immediately got super aggressive about how he _insisted_ on using the Dragon theme. When I was listening to the audio version I did check New Recruit on my mobile browser just to see, and the Dragon theme does look cool, but also on mobile the image is much smaller and it just repeats so it has a strong Angelfire "welcome to my website, please sign my guestbook, here's a cool picture I found on Google that I tiled for the background" energy, which I _kind of_ love. It looks like Export Pretty does not use the font color of your chosen theme, it is always default black. I just checked on the dark theme and it does the same thing, then I switched it back to classic and it looks fine. They need to give you an option to change the font color on Export Pretty or at least switch it to white when you have a dark theme selected, like Dark or Dragon. You can see on the theme "Ghost" it uses grey rather than black, so the text is _visible_ but difficult to make out. That's an annoying problem because I like Export Pretty but I also really want to use the Dark theme. It seems like this should be an easy fix, but I don't know shit about that. The options they give you for customization are _great._ But overall I really like New Recruit and I'm so glad you guys did a video on this topic to introduce me to it! That said, never forget about basic stuff like Google Sheets, Excel, or just a pad and paper. They're minimalist and require you to do all the work yourself, but they also allow full customization of how you want to lay out your notes.

Damn those are some good observations and solid notes.

I am today years old when I learned you can duplicate models in battlescribe. To dup a unit you right click and have the option to duplicate, but to dup a model you have to select a model and then use the little copy symbol button on the second bar from the top in the middle... next to the formatting buttons. As a person who was very tired of painstakingly equipping each model in Deathwatch armies with the same loadout, I think the ability to mass copy models in Rosterizer with one input was my favorite part of Rosterizer. I will say though, Rosterizer is still my favorite at the moment as their yellowscribe output doesn't break like BS (yes this includes the most recent BS update, it still breaks much of the yellowscribe script, and it'll ask you to select models for the guns of some units). They also have a very active data authors, I remember posting on BS's github (following their rules) and pointing out a flaw, then getting told it'll get fixed in the next BS update which was with the next codex release at the time so a few weeks later (which would apply to New Recruit as well). I posted a problem with a Rosterizer manifest and it was fixed in only a few hours.

Great breakdowns and good banter as always, gentlemen! Thank you for your time, and thanks for introducing some of us to some other options we wouldn’t know about otherwise!

Hey, thank you so much for doing this episode!! I was agonizing over going back to battlescribe too, and had not heard of New Recruit before, already love it.

I've been using the Google sheets format and just clipping the data sheets from the free Warhammer Community downloads and then highlighting the rules and wargear that are in effect. It can get quite ugly at times and scrolling on my phone can get annoying but the results have been phenomenal. And I have the strategems right there!

This is perfect, I was planning on building something with a friend... It should set a good bar of usability

I use samsung notes, the GW feild guide, and google, so thanks for the advise on what i can use as an actual listbuilder

New 40k player here and new Kill team player. I was absolutely baffled by the lack of rules and list building available. I bought the phobos kill team box and the core book hoping rules would be in there, I also searched their website and there are 0 instructions on how to build a kill team list. I eventually had to ask on reddit and found out wahapedia was the best place to go as no official info available other than in the starter box or buying yet another £30 book (the book from starter boxes). Absolutely horrendous entry to the hobby when I dropped £100 just for two kill teams and the rule book already. They really need a free list building guide/tool available with all the data sheets in one place, as I am not paying monthly to use their app to do it

Thank you for this informative podcast. I've never paid for rules before and I don't plan to in the future.

Unfortunately, if every gaming company could charge you monthly for their game, they would do it in a heartbeat. GW wants you to pay monthly for access to your codexes and army builder, Wizards wants you to pay monthly for your DnD and Magic stuff, modern gaming is all about getting a free to play game out there and then hitting the battle pass button; the idea of players having to pay you every month for your game rather than buying in with one lump sum is so appealing because it's potentially infinite money, especially if those players mean to cancel their subs but just keep forgetting to do so.

I have opened up New Recruit for the first time - someone there watches or listens to you guys, alegedly. A lot of the things you mentioned have been fixed.

I started using Sheets after the WertStammer army builder was ceased-and-desist in the middle of 8th

I was happy to see New Recruit was supporting Boarding Patrol, only to realize it doesn't seem to use the Boarding Actions mustering rules.

Eventually I'll finish making my list builder. I sort of got stuck in a rabbit hole with math-hammer equations. But whenever I finish it, there should be math-hammer info in the application. So you'll be able to make your list, and then figure out how well you'll do on average vs other lists people have made. Ambitious? yes, am I THAT bored, also YES!.

as a beginner it seems new recruit is just what i need. i just need some more hand holding regarding adding leaders to units

From what I can tell about New Recruit, lists are cookie based when you're not a registered user and probably server based when you're signed in as it downloads lists when you sign in from a new device or browser. Chances are lists aren't too data intensive (maybe a few kilobytes per list at most) but at the same time I can't see what's actually going on in the backend. Glad you brought it up though, because as a Canadian this is probably going to be my go to option now that GW won't even take my money to use their app and I really don't like Battlescribe.

At first, I definitely was not a big fan of Rosterizer, but I've come full circle on it. Once you get past the the admittedly obtuse interface, it's one of the fastest, easiest builders to use. The fact that all the strats are just there in plain text is really nice, too.

As others have said New Recruit has an app now... but it can also dump to cache or something similar so once you click it then it'll work offline, but no version updates until you connect online again

this is such a good breakdown, thanks to you guys!

Battlescribe is cool and all, but you guys are completely right about the keywords. 30k has a whole manifesto below each army list, it's honestly scary

I build my own google sheet. I enter the info I need by phase. The first one is command, so it lists the abilities and stratagems that happen in that phase. Then, I collapse it and move to the next one. It can take a while to build, but the amount of time it saves me in-game by not shuffling through multiple references outweighs that. Let’s say I have Vahl attached to a set of Paragons. I will highlight their BS, WS, and S cells in yellow to remind me that she gives them attack and wound rerolls. There’s another tab for list-building where you just enter the number of units and it automatically calculates the points.

The app is what finally made me jump in being able to figure out what and army looks like for my faction. The army builder basically turned into a shopping list

I’m 100% the same. I would even make two versions of each list - one representing all the models I already had, and one ‘full potential’ 2000/3000 point list to work towards.

Just wanted to send a thanks over for making me aware of New Recruit. Its a great little browser based thing. and I actually prefer there PDF formate.

Great review video!

So last thoughts, as of now, the rules half of the 40k app is still free, the biggest litmus test for me is going to be the release of the new Space Marine Codex. My understanding was that the Codexs were going to shift more towards fluff and "DLC" type stuff. They already previewed some pretty in-depth looking rules, so hopefully rules will be updated for free and just the builder is behind the paywal like it is now. I won't hold my breath but that'd be a better outcome

Already listened to it on Apple pod but needed to know what the “dragon” theme looked like

Thanks for the review, and I think I'll try out New Recruit. Allegedly .

So I agreed with you on wanting to have the leader attached to the unit in the builder... Until I actually used my Techmarine. He can attach to a squad or be a lone operative if next to a vehicle. I actually hit a scenario where it was more survivalable for him to not attach to the squad I had intended him to during list building. Instead, I left him independent and hiding behind vehicles were as if he had been attached the squad could have been targeted from across the map and he would die alone with it.

You gents are doing the God-Emperor’s work.

New Poorhammer Podcast and I still have the time to listen to it before work? Hell yeah!

Thank you for making this video! I hope you reach 50K subs soon.

Seeing the battlescribe payment screen in reais caught me flatfooted, I had forgotten your editor was a fellow brazillian xD

basically New Recruit with an offline available download of your list and fixing the counting bug would be basically perfect
