Finally, Games Workshop is listening, don’t miss the latest update for the Warhammer 40k app that unlocks some datasheet functionality for FREE!
Like everyone out there, we’ve been wanting the app to do more. Well, with the newest update, announced on Warhammer Community, they are addressing one of our biggest concerns. Whether you bought the codex or not, now you get to see abbreviated datasheets for every unit in the game!
This is honestly huge. Because now, you don’t have to buy every codex to know what your opponent’s units do. This cuts down on so many of the issues with the app and matched play. You can now just bring up your opponent’s army in the app and get an idea of what every unit does.
On top of that, they are throwing tons of bugfixes in there as well. If you want to see how to actually make your lists, you can check out our step by step article here. For now, let’s dive deeper into the new functionality.
Warhammer 40k App Update! Bug Fixes & Datasheets!
The amount of content on the app was a big issue among many of us. Well, now you get datasheets like the ones above for every unit in the game. That means if all you do is buy one codex for your army, you can still see what every unit in the game does. While it’s not a complete sheet with points, it will keep you up to speed with every faction. This is honestly super awesome. On top of making your games better, it will make previewing a new army you’re thinking about playing that much easier.
Also, if they just keep the app updated, your need for carrying around Chapter Approveds and the such goes way down. Let’s hear from them about it:
But now, thanks to a huge new update going live today, Warhammer 40,000: The App includes short-form datasheets for every unit in the game – whether you own their codex or not.
Each datasheet shows you the unit’s characteristics and weapons, which makes them a great way of getting a feel for how the unit performs – perfect if you’re thinking of including them in your army or simply wondering how best to obliterate them in your next game.
While it doesn’t have everything in it, this is a huge step in the right direction. On top of that, they dropped a massive amount of bug fixes.
