Warhammer 40,000: The App

Missing Legends units and everything is behind codex paywalls so this app is unusable for me.

Kuukausimaksullakin kaikki hyödylliset tiedot jää vielä edelleen toisen maksumuurin taakse..

but unfortunately, older units are not present: no bike squads for marines, no ravenwing talonmaster. Essentially, the legends are missing. The app is good for fast rule checking and reference finding, but you can only play/create lists with units from the latest edition of the game.

Up until the codexes started coming out, the app was actually decent, if a bit clunky to use. But now step by step all the army info will be lockd up behind a pay wall - and the monthly subscription will not lift that wall, only buying the 50€ book will give you visible rules - for a single army. You can use it to see the latest point cost, and build a single list - that’s helpful I suppose. There are better list building tools available.

”Annual subscription” - pffft. Avoid!

Trying to figure out how exactly I want to build my army, but I can’t view anything because content is locked. You would think the easy place to go as a first time player getting into the tabletop would be check out the official app. You would be wrong. I’m not paying a subscription for a hobby I just started. Maybe if I were a long time enthusiast, but for entry level this is a pretty big gate keep.

Account registration doesn’t even work. I’ve tried to sign up multiple times

Useless unless you want to run around to a bunch if different sites with no clear instructions where to go or what you need to do to access things. Example went to adepta sororitas army. But detachments are “lock” but if you own a codex ,which I do, you can go to their “ official site” which I assume is warhammer.com for mor instructions but good luck finding how to unlock. You can not access full app unless you go to mywarhammer.com and sign up. Just seems like a lot of wasted time to never get to why you download app to start with

As this edition has gone on, the app has become significantly worse. Every few months you loose access to rules unless you pay additional money ON TOP of your subscription. And if you even do go along with their requirement for additional cash, the rules you gain access to are worse than what they were before, and far more restricted, meaning you loose even more money by loosing the ability to play models that they no longer want you to use. Save thousands of dollars, play older editions. Skip the app, skip GW’s scummy practices.

The app is great when it comes to getting to see your rules and core rules. The pay wall for your codex is annoying but understandable. I wish this app had a way to link up with your opponents list and allow you to see their command bunker so you may reference their list rules. I would pay a subscription for that feature and the ability to see all the rules for every codex.
