Hello everyone, we ran into unexpected problems, New Recruit was down longer than expected, but you should now be able to log in an use NR normally again. Sorry for the trouble. NR is now running on a much better machine which should make everything better in the future!
Hello everyone,
New Recruit is going to be down for maintenance today at 18:00 GMT (October 22)
We are migrating the server to a much faster machine which should greatly improved performance and avoid connection problems some of you may have experienced lately.
The maintenance should last approximately 2 hours but it may last longer if something goes wrong.
During this time you may still be able to use New Recruit if you have it installed as a web app, or as an Android/iOS app but you will not be able to sync lists, log in, see tournaments.
We just released a first iteration of the Game Assistant for Warhammer 40k, available to subscribers by clicking the Game icon.
It is a tool to assist you when playing a game, track objectives, objective points and CP points.
It is still work in progress, there may be bugs and we have ideas for some new features already, like the ability to mark models as "dead" to easily see the number of shots remaining in a unit.
If you find bugs, or have ideas, please feel free to post on Discord, send an email, or juste the in app Report Issue tool, selecting New Recruit Issue.
Hello everyone,
A bug with the new Folders feature has been identified. If you move your lists to a folder, you will not be able to open it anymore.
We are working on a fix.
!!! THERE IS A WORKAROUND !!!
If you log out, and log in again, you will be able to open all lists once again (even those that you moved to a different folder). Once you re-logged, please do not move lists to a different folder again (or they will break again) until you have version 32.95 which is going to be released later today.
Hello everyone,
A new "Folder" feature was recently released and it looks like there are some problems with it. We are working on a fix but in the meantime, please do not use it, it may break lists that were moved!
We apologize for the inconvenience, this will be fixed as soon as possible.
Hello everyone,
The bug
A bug with unit preview was introduced in a recent update.
For Warhammer 40,000 the unit preview only shows rules and does not show profiles, weapons and stats.
For other games, the unit preview sometimes does not work altogether.
This issue is fixed in version 32.71! It is already out on web and Android. The fix has been deployed to iOS but Apple is taking longer to review and validate the new version, it should be out within the next 24 hours.
Crusade
Crusade was recently released for Warhammer 40k, this version of the game has a lot of units and this can cause performance issues on some devices. We are aware of the issue but the solution is not simple, it requires a lot of code optimization and this may take a while to solve.
Stratagems have been updated for Chaos Knights and Space Wolves.
New Recruit uses Wahapedia as a primary source for Stratagems, it is great because it associates Stratagems and Units, meaning it makes it possible to filter the stratagem list when you open a unit and only show relevant stratagems for that unit. However, sometimes Wahapedia is slow to update, to address that, New Recruit now uses other sources for stratagems. The downside is that these do not make the Stratagem filter for units possible. For this reason, you will see the full list of Stratagems for your Detachment, for all units for Chaos Knights and Space Wolves. As soon as Wahapedia is updated, which may take weeks, New Recruit will update and the Stratagem filter for unit will work for these factions.
The same should happen for the next Codex releases, we will have a quick update with no filter, and then have the filter in the following weeks when Wahapedia is ready.
Hi everyone,
As some of you may have noticed, New Recruit now has an IOS app!
It is mostly identical to the web version but can be a bit more responsive and will use the full screen, and works better offline.
If you enjoy New Recruit and want to help it's growth, please bomb the App Store with 5 star reviews!
Thank you all for using New Recruit!

Hello,
New Recruit relies on Wahapedia to update Stratagems at the moment. This means I cannot update Stratagems until Wahapedia is updated. This may change in the future as Wahapedia is slow to update, but the codexes are quickly out of stock and I cannot get my hands on them at the moment.
There is a flurry of new codexes coming out at the moment so that does not make things easy.
I will do my best to update as soon as possible.
The Leader feature has been slightly simplified.
Previously it would consider the list of possible attached unit in the Leader ability to limit the units that can be attached to a character. This caused many issues because there are too many exceptions, sometimes units are not named directly bur referenced in ambiguous ways (all Battleline Units of...), and some units have the Attached Unit ability which also adds possibilities.
For now, all units that have the Leader ability will be proposed as Leaders for all non Character units. This make sure you will not be prevented from attaching a unit, the downside is that it allows you to make illegal attachments, but it is a good compromise to ensure good functionality for now. If somehow we can build a solid database of all allowed attachment combos, the limited list of available Leaders may come back in the future.
