GW should hire this person to design their Warscrolls as it’s easier to read and looks better overall- check it out!
Feariswasted on Reddit recently posted this awesome design for a warscroll and we have to say, it’s honestly pretty awesome! Overall the warscroll is easier to understand as they group everything together in ways that actually make sense, they put the spells in easy-to-spot places, and the damage chart is better as well.
This takes the stock-type template that GW puts in there and customizes it. Instead of just using the same boring format it actually customizes it into a way better format.
While this would be more work for GW to do on all the scrolls, it would make the game much easier for newer players and even veterans alike. Just to note, they did make a couple of mistakes on the rules, but they address it in the comments. So, don’t worry about that. Let’s check it out!
GW Should Hire This Person to Design Their Warscrolls
We’ll do some close-ups, but just from the jump, you can see how much they are able to fit on there and it’s all pretty easy to read.
So first up, the damage chart is so much better this way, to us at least. Instead of that annoying wheel, the vertical orientation is much easier to see. Then, they group everything together, so you can see all the abilities at the top and command abilities in the same section.
Not to mention this would allow them to use some awesome artwork in the top corner.
Then, instead of just putting everything vertical, they have room to throw the spells on the left and even Nagash’s spells (they did make a mistake on the spells here but do address it in the comments).
Next, the weapons are super easy to read with the types and rules. Lastly, the Magic Abilities fill out the bottom and stop you from having to look all over. Overall just a great rework that we would love to see GW moving towards in the future.
Do you like the look of this? Would you like to see them moving towards something like this?
