What Is the Rightful Ruler App Used For?

Minitaur is changing the tabletop scene with a special video catering to 40k’s needs. From selecting deployment zones, measuring objectives, deepstrike radius, and more, all you have to do is hold up your phone, scale it to the table size you’re using, and then you’ll have a screen full of options that you can use to get your games going.

Having a phone you can just hold over the table and see instantly-highlighted deployments is just one of the amazing aspects of this coming app. You don’t have to take 5-10 minutes marking out your areas with dice anymore. By holding up your phone to the table, you’ll be able to see where you need to screen better as well as keeping each other honest on where your models need to start.

On top of everything covered above, there are also features like Length of Path for charges through tricky terrain combinations on the tabletop. They also have a setting that ignores all-terrain if you’re using an Infantry model moving through a building or have something like a jump pack.

These are just a few elements that help take the questioning out of the game. There’s also been an update for the app making Rightful Ruler 1.0! Here’s what’s changed.

Minitaur Gaming’s Rightful Ruler App Updated

Check out this video on how to use the Rightful Ruler app to help supplement your hobby. Along with this 1.0 update, there are some sweet features to explore.

As far as new mechanics go it looks like list sharing will be available for users that both have the app. You can also explore datasheets of different units as well. Something that is going to be super helpful when it comes to learning the way your opponent’s list functions on the fly. Overall, it looks like some design elements from Battlescribe and Best coast Pairings have been combined here.

It’s a huge improvement on the default sharing mode of copy-pasta from BattleScribe, because viewers can dive into every stat and ability to really see what makes your list work. Your lists get published to the domain www.recorded.games, and upcoming versions of the app will allow scorekeeping and even woundtracking, enabling automatic blow-by-blow battle reports – as indicated by the domain name, and users will soon be able to attach photos and video to the game rooms and lists to personalize them. Subscribers will also be able to customize the interface to match the colors of their army before the end of the year.

You can download Minitaur Gaming’s Rightful Ruler on the App store now. However, if you want to continue to show support, you can head over to their Patreon as well.
