The 4th edition dataset I've been working on for New Recruit has reached a pretty good state, so I reached out and had it added to NewRecruit's included list of games. This means automatic updates for end users and easy accessibility.

Currently the builder has all physically published 4th edition codexes, and the three Space Marine supplements from 3rd that were errata'd to use the new 4th edition codex. Here is the full current list:
Space Marines (2004)
Blood Angels (1998)
Dark Angels (1999)
Space Wolves (2000)
Tyranids (2005)
Black Templars (2005)
Tau Empire (2006)
Eldar (2006)
Dark Angels (2007)
Chaos Space Marines (2007)
Orks (2008)
Chaos Daemons (2008)

I do no

It's been 2 weeks since my original "proof of concept" post, and the builder is in a pretty good state now. It currently features every 4th edition codex that used the armory system, and the three main Space Marine supplements that rely on using the new 4th edition Space Marines codex:

Space Marine
Blood Angels
Dark Angels
Space Wolves
Black Templars
Tyranids
Tau Empire

You can add the list builder to New Recruit by going to the NR home page (which lists all of your selected game systems) and clicking "add more games" at the bottom. Click the button to "Add from Github" and paste the Github link for the project:

The lack of a NewRecruit/Battlescribe dataset for 4th edition (the best edition) always annoyed me, so 10 days ago I decided to just make it myself. I have no prior experience with NewRecruit/Battlescribe so I taught myself from scratch and seeing how some other datasets were formatted.

The data can be found here, and can be added to NewRecruit from the My Games list by clicking "Add more games" at the bottom followed by "Add from GitHub" and pasting the GitHub repository link.

Most of the core 40k rules and profiles included should be fleshed out. Some things like vehicle and Psyker rules may be missing or incomplete

Not having touched the game in years I loaded it up with all the DLC to find the beautiful map background from the base game replaced with a boring slideshow with some annoyingly smug sun moving back and forth across the screen.

I couldn't find any information about changing the background online (aside from disabling expansions), nor any mods to revert the background in the Steam workshop.

However after digging through the game files I found the files related to the main menu background and was able to copy the original bg file to replace the newer expansion 2 background.

Here are detailed instructions:

1. go to Sid Meier's Civilization VI\Base\Platforms\Windows\Movies
2. copy Title

Eligible to Shoot (when equipped with ranged weapons): Unless a rule specifically states otherwise, units that have shot are no longer eligible to shoot until the start of the next phase.

Looks like "daisy chaining" is dead.

So I got the Age of Darkness box and I was thinking about how to kit out the Cataphractii terminators.

By default they come with "power weapons" so I could choose power swords and take advantage of the Deathwing sub-type (+1 to hit with sword type weapons). But is that worth it compared to the other weapon options like lightning claws and power fists?

No idea what other sub-type might be better otherwise, except Stormwing for +1 to hit with bolters.
