Warhammer 40,000: The App

The army builder is awesome, and makes it easy to build and outfit your army, and also reference rules. But i feel extremely ripped off, that I have to both buy a codex AND pay for a subscription to build more than 1 army.

Again GW shows it ugly and greedy mentality. This was a free app to support an already expensive hobby. But now suddenly they change it so you only can have 1 army in the app. Well knowing that people have more that 1 army collected. I know that companies need to earn money but 50kr ( 7,2 usd) on monthly subscription is just greed at the worst kind.

Død over den falske kejser

Big improvement from the previous army builder! Great overview for the core rules and index. A couple of wishes would be to be able to bookmark an index or a part of the core rules and maybe the ability to filter between rules, combat patrol rules, quick start guide and faction indexes.

Only usable if you have your codex either handy or memorized. Data sheets are redacted on free and you can only make 1 list. Just use BattleScribe or literally any other free list builder

Why do I have to look at my opponents phone or codex to see the rules of their units? And now with the ever changing rules and datasheet updates, even the physical codexes have become obsolete. We’ve gotten to a point with this app where books are not necessary anymore. I would be more than happy to pay a discounted price to just receive a digital copy of a codex and receive access to the rules in the app. The paywalls in your app have also recently led to controversy in one of your largest 40K competitive events! Imagine if some of the 6 players that lost to the Tacoma “winner” were able to see the rules in the Ork section of their app. Rules need to be readily accessible by both sides of the table!

I love the idea, but I have thoughts on how to make it much, much better. 1. The ability to clone lists. It takes a ton of time to add equipment, and being able to duplicate a list to make a slight change would be huge. 2. Don’t lock list building behind a paywall. We’re already paying for models, paints, accessories, and books. That can’t pay for a list builder? 3. Ability to purchase a digital-only codex. I’m paperless. Don’t need another paper book that will be obsolete in a year or two. Plus it can be cheaper since there would be no physical overhead. 4. Better yet, make all the rules free. See #2 above. Ignoring some of the above complaints, this is a decent app. Thanks

I loved using this app for army building and for playing games of warhammer, it was genuinely the best tool they had offered as you had access to all of the rules at a moments notice and could build armies on the fly, which made games way more fun because it streamlined the process so much. But the monthly subscription that you need to make more than 3 lists + all the money you spend on their miniatures isnt enough for Games Workshop, in order to access ANY army rules, you have to own the $60 codex for that army (which used to be almost worth the price because of all the lore and character descriptions, but is now just a $60 rulebook for each army), effectively making it so that using this tool means you have to spend an additional $60 PER army. Absolutely atrocious business model from Games Workshop that only seems to be getting worse with time. I can only hope they come to respect their fanbase and customers within my lifetime, but that seems unlikely at this point.
