APOCALYPSE UPDATE

[JOEROACH]

Hello, I just downloaded the lastest update and my space marine list no longer allows Marnius Calgar to have either a Honor Guard or Command Squad.

Also there are no apocalypse units listed. Perhaps I did something wrong?

Please advise.

Regards,

JR

first off this should be in the 40k forum, have you selected Apocalyse in the roster options and have you looked in the filters at the top of the screen?

 

[JOEROACH]

Harkan - please be gentle with me as this is the first time I have ever written in such a forum.

I will attempt to follow your instruction.

I regret any mis-step on my part.

Regards,

JR

 

[harkan]

sorry if it came over abrupt - let me know if this works alright now?

 

[JOEROACH]

Harkan - Not abrupt, I understand the need for clear organization. I will comply.

However, I choose "Apocalypse," "Cities of Death," and "Special Characters" for an Ultramarine army and I don't see any filters.

I thought I had a good grasp of the program but now I feel more a noob. Is it possible to get a little more idea of where these filters are on the page?

Regards,

JR

He means that the only option on Marneus Calgar is artificer armor/terminator armor - there is no command squad/honor guard option. Joeroach, I'd recommend you go to www.ab40k.org and post the error there.

Joeroach, the reason he may have been short with you is that the answer to why there are no apocalypse units is the same answer we give to a third-half of the questions asked about 40K (and fantasy) on this forum: look in the rule options when you're selecting your army.

Harkan, have you considered writing out quick answer posts and stickying them in the 40K forum?: "Where is (my favorite character)?" "I bought (book) yesterday. Why isn't it in Armybuilder?"

You mean like the ones that are already in the FAQ provided with the datafiles? The FAQ you can access from the menu in the program by selecting "Help -> Warhammer 40,000 FAQ"?

 

[Mathias]

I know they're there - I refer people to them every other post in the 40K forums. I'm just wondering if posting them again in the 40K forum would cut down on those posts.

 

[Ghaz]

No, because people would ignore them as well

Thank you, I can understand his frustration.

I have checked the rules options per your suggestion and when checked they seem to have no effect.

The recent update does seem to have created some new problems without adding the appropriate Apocalypse features. No criticism here, just an observation.

Regards to all

Just to be clear, The bug is that the option doesn't exist, however, the error is that the Honour Guard option is missing. Marneus Calcag does not also have an option of a Command Squad. Only the specific 'Ultramarines Honour Guard' found on page 51 of the SM Codex.

Did I miss a FAQ update that says he can also have a regular Command Squad or for that matter a regular Honour Guard?

No, you have not missed a FAQ. As the rules stand, Marneus Calgar can only choose an Ultramarines Honour Guard.
