Games workshop selling an illegal model in terms of wysiwyg

[blacksnapt]

Hi all, 

i've just got back in to the hobby and have subscribed to the imperium bundle, in which they get you a primaris captain with a plasma pistol and a master crafted power Sword, but in the codex i Can seem to give him these weapons... So what am i missing? Sorry if it IS a stupid question

He was released after the codex. You can select his wargear on the app.

 

He costs 95 points

[blacksnapt]

On the app? Which app? Sorry been a long Time...

[Orange Knight]

The official 40k army builder app. It's not particularly good so a lot of people don't use it

 

Imo this is something that GW can really improve upon. 

[blacksnapt]

An app you have to pay for? Or is it a free bee ? And is it availible from the play store?

[tychobi]

Battlescribe is a free builder on the play store that is more accurate.  Has some UI issues but overall it works great.  

 

[blacksnapt]

Where Can i find 40k data for BattleScribe?

[blacksnapt]

Even on battlescribe i cant give him this setup... I really dont know what im doing wrong

[Blindhamster]

He’s not in any books, so battlescribe doesn’t have it. He /is/ on the paid official app though

[lansalt]

It's really stupid that the primaris captain/lieutenant loadouts are so strickly limited to the models. Once the assault intercessors/primaris upgrades were released and avaliable for kitbashing, GW should have added weapon lists back to those HQs like their firstborn equivalents.

Battlescribe is using rules written by a 3rd party and sometimes stuff is missing or incorrect. 

 

Also, a new Marine codex is due out soon, in the new year. Worth mentioning that.

 

The model is 95 points. Just keep that in mind when writing a list.

Tbf, the issue the model came in SHOULD have come with a data sheet

[blacksnapt]

Yeah all this stuff is really strange... Feels like they really messed it all up here

Because of the way that the magazine works, they phase in the rules slowly. The first 10 issues are taken up explaining stuff like basic movement principles and other simple rules - they explain how shooting and melee attacks work, but they don’t start you off with the to hit/to wound table. What they do instead is say, this Primaris LT from issue 1 needs a 3+ to hit, and needs a 4+ to wound the Royal Warden also from issue 1, but a 3+ to wound the Necron Warriors from issue 2. They don’t give you the datasheets straight away, they spoonfeed you a little until there is a basic understanding of the underpinning concepts. We are now far enough into the subscription that they are pushing out datasheets for all units.

 

Because the Imperium specific captain was released with Issue 5, it was too early to have a datasheet with the model, because it wouldn’t have made sense to people using the magazine to get into the hobby. I suspect a datasheet for him will be released by the time the magazine run is finished.

I was able to find this in the app.

[Sky Potato]

Having just checked the app, I was unable to select a plasma pistol and master-crafted power sword, so there’s definitely something going wrong there.
