vampyrerodent Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 I’ve been playing since ‘99/00 or so, but haven’t played in about 5-6 years. A couple of want to get in to 40K and asked for help with learning rules, etc. Problem is this. I have the Warhammer app and I see the Astra Militarum listing with datasheets etc, but I can’t access most of the info without a codex. I don’t see a codex on the GW site or at my local stores. How do I access the locked data if there is no codex to acquire? Am I missing something, outside of a codex?

AutumnEffect Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 That's very odd since there isn't a Guard codex yet. The info should be unlocked if you have a warhammer subscription. vampyrerodent 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/384410-imperial-guard-out-of-mothballs%E2%80%A6/#findComment-6073360 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casual Heresy Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 Guard are currently an index rather than a codex so all of their rules are available to download for free on warhammer community. warhammer40000_indexes_astramilitarum_eng_16.10.pdf I personally wouldn't recommend the app until after the codex comes out, but maybe its just my bad luck with tech that puts me off (there's a reason I don't play AdMech!). Good old pen and paper with the Munitorum Field Manual never fails for list building: warhammer40000_core&key_munitorumfieldmanual_eng_16.10.pdf DemonGSides and vampyrerodent 1 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/384410-imperial-guard-out-of-mothballs%E2%80%A6/#findComment-6073371 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sairence Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 Not sure what issue you have specifically, but everything from the Guard index is freely available on the app currently. There's no locked data atm, it's just generally limited due to only having an Index. The Codex is slated to come early next year, and at that point you will need to own it and activate the included code to access ths data in the GW app. A free alternative for list building that uses actively maintained databases is New Recruit. It has a web-based android app, I believe they're working on an iOS one. You can see most of the rules in there as well. (Battlescribe used to be the go to list builder, but it's abandonware and the datafiles it needs are no longer maintained) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/384410-imperial-guard-out-of-mothballs%E2%80%A6/#findComment-6073386 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonGSides Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 Current app should work, you may need to make an account and sign in to get things operating effectively though. Current app Command Bunker has helped speed up my playing quite a bit.

vampyrerodent Posted October 29 Author Share Posted October 29 This is what I am referring to. The special rules are not available to me because they are locked and I do not have the codex. I see their new book is scheduled for Jan/Feb and an Index is out there.

Emperor Ming Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 Maybe that's there because guard codex is round the corner? vampyrerodent 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/384410-imperial-guard-out-of-mothballs%E2%80%A6/#findComment-6073432 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the help This is not the 10th edition app. Get the correct app, that will fix all your issues.

What the hell GW at least force the old app to update to the news… smh Thanks all! It's a completely new Application. Probably an android/Apple requirement. They did make a lot of noise about it back when it came out at the beginning of 10th, but probably hard to find most of that communication now.

vampyrerodent Posted October 31 Author Share Posted October 31 Yeah, I’ve been out of gaming for several years now. Have played one game since 2018…. The foundation of the game is still there, it’s just having to relearn the nuances. I’ll post some pics in the near future Thanks to all again!
