Bugs in recent update
2026-03-23

Hello,

2 major bugs were identified in recent updates:

  • On IOS exclusively (that bug was not released on Android): a persistent error saying "Lists cannot be loaded". This bug should be fixed in version 34.27. Please make sure you update your app

  • A bug where some profiles and stats are not showing, the cause of this bug is still unclear and may be linked to the other bug, it may or may not be fixed in version 34.27, we are investigating but I am unable to reproduce it myself in version 34.27

We are working on solving these issues, thank you for your patience!

"Favourites" renamed "Presets" + new feature
2026-03-20

Hello everyone,

We renamed the "Favourites" feature, to "Presets". Everything works exactly as before, it is just a name change. We added something new, it is now possible to select a "Default preset". Your default preset will automatically be applied when:

  • Creating a new unit from the menu without going through the presets menu

  • Creating a new list (useful for Battle Size, Show/Hide options for 40k, or any configuration you would like to be automatically applied)

  • Adding a new force to a list

Bug in the last update 33.44
2025-12-19

Hello,

There is a bug in version 33.44 that shows a border around the interface, this was for testing purposes and accidentally released. It may also block the menu. The fix has been released on the web version available at https://www.newrecruit.eu/app

IOS and Android apps are being updated, the fix should be available within 24 hours but in the meantime you can use the web version if necessary.

Recent updates

Hi everyone, some changes that may be confusing were introduced in recent updates.

  • A bug appeared in version 33.40, in some cases, lists do not appear at all! This is fixed in version 33.41, already available on web, the fix is coming to Android and IOS app but it can take up to 48 hours. In the meantime you can use the web version at https://www.newrecruit.eu/app
  • Lock List function was merged with Enter Play Mode: these 2 features basically did the same thing: prevent modifications in your list and make it easier to use New Recruit while you are playing a game, as opposed to building a list. Lists previously locked with "Lock List" will be unlocked and you can lock them again using Enter Play Mode. If you have not updated your app and still have 33.37 or 33.38, your lists locked with the old feature will be unlockable. You can update your app and they will be unlocked.
  • A new feature was introduced for subscribers, in play mode you can now mark models as "dead" to make it easier to count how many shots or attacks are left using the weapon profiles

Translating New Recruit game data
2025-12-01

Hello everyone,

A couple months ago, we launched a collaborative translation tool to let the community help translating game data used by New Recruit. This project is hosted at https://nrdata.org

It is an open source project, and all the translated data is available to anyone.

Just translating your army book into your language would be very helpful!

If you want to participate, please join us on Discord using this link: Discord Link, and post in the translation section. You may also contact us directly at contact@newrecruit.eu

Right now special access is required to add/modify translation data, I will grant you access if you just ask.


Bug with Miniature Pictures
2025-11-23

Hello,

A bug has been identified with the new Miniature Pictures function. If you JUST got your sub and try the feature, it will not work and display an error. A quick workaround is logging out/logging in again.

We published a fix in version 33.31, but this will only affect new subscriptions. If you have this bug, please log out / log in again!

Miniature pictures in My Miniatures!
2025-11-17

Hello everyone,

A new feature has been added to My Miniatures. You can now upload pictures of your miniatures to make the UI livelier.

To do so click Menu/My Miniatures. You can now upload a picture for each of your miniatures. You may also share your image with other New Recruit users so they can use it in their own interface.

Then the pictures will show in the UI, both in the main view and in the unit addition view on mobile. You can enable/disable the display of miniature pictures in Menu/Options/Army Edition


Maintenance over!
2025-10-22

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!

Incoming Maintenance
2025-10-22

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.

Game Assistant for Warhammer 40k
2025-10-17

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.
