Excellent app that makes it easy to build lists.

I use this to brainstorm lists and rapidly look up the stats and special rules for units. It’s very useful but does require an understanding of list building to use properly and takes some trial and error to learn how to customize units and models. It didn’t take me long to get used to how to do it though. Certain units/characters have very inconsistent and unusual formats when building them, which is to say that the layout for equipping units is inconsistent. This is especially apparent for the various space marine armies as they have very different layouts for building the same unit depending upon the chapter you have selected(I’m not talking about exclusive/unique units but general/shared ones). I recommend this app highly as it the minor problems it has are far overshadowed by the wide selection of army building resources and choices it provides, definitely give it a try if you enjoy warhammer 40k, 30k or kill team and want to be able to quickly and easily build lists.

Can be a bit tricky to use at times, but very helpful!

BattleScribe is one of those apps that you keep discovering the potential for even far after you’ve downloaded it. I recently got into Warhammer 40K and I’ve used it to track my teams and armies of Raven Guard, and I’ve also found it very useful for planning future armies and seeing point values! The printed format of the rules can be a bit clunky at times and may not later all too well, but that’s nothing some basic editing in Google Docs or something couldn’t fix, so it’s really not an issue. However, the only thing I’d say could use an update would be the ability to change your Detachment type after making an army. Because I can’t copy and paste my troops, every time I get a troop pack to change my detachment (my first example being from a Patrol to a Battalion), I have to re-enter my entire army roster in a new file, complete with Warlord traits, relics, attachments and perks on certain weapons, etc. Otherwise, the app is very smooth and helpful to use!

Awesome with tiny problems

When I started the Warhammer hobby, everyone told me to get BattleScribe. It has everything that someone would need to play TTWG. However, one problem I had with it was in the very beginning; it was hard to learn how to work it. However, one could attribute this to the lack of publications owned and lack of knowledge of the game, because once I read the codexes, I understood the game and how to work BattleScribe.One more tiny problem I have is the fact that the rosters take so long to load. When you’re in the middle of a game, and you have to edit your list a little because of a small error, you now have to wait 2 minutes while your list loads to be able to use. Not sure how this could be fixed, but it would be nice. In all, I would recommend this to anyone and everyone who plays TTWG and needs something to make their lists. Great work!

BattleScribe is a useful tool for list building and management for the on the go hobbyist. With a simple layout and consistent updates it keeps you in tune with meta changes and faqs with a minimal delay. I’m a warhammer 40k player and i like to use it in conjunction with tabletop simulator to test out new army builds before I go in with buying, building, and painting new armies. As we all know tabletop gaming is expensive so it’s nice to be able to test compositions before buying. Another thing that I do enjoy is that I can use the same app for phone and pc. Especially because my job keeps me traveling a lot. All in all I dig it. Nothing is perfect like occasionally an update crashes my phone( which is probably my phone) or out of date codexes( which get upgraded continually) as a free app it’s a go to for a beginner hobbyist and pro alike.
