UI Update
2026-07-24

Hi everyone!


We just updated New Recruit's UI in our latest update, version 35.1. Already up for WEB, will take up to 24 hours to come to ios/android apps due to app reviews.

  • Icons: Replaced most of the existing icons with new .svg icons which should render better at all screen resolutions.

  • Home icon: removed from the menu bar, instead replaced by a Manage Games button you can find under Menu. We may add it back if we have feedback that this is missing, but it leaves space for more useful direct links to other features.

  • Themes: The presets updated, we removed a few of the old ones and added some new ones. Your current theme or custom themes are unaffected, but feel free to try the new preset themes.

40k 11th edition update
2026-06-23

Hey everyone,
A TON of bug reports were submitted for 40k 11th. As a reminder this is an experimental version entirely updated using a script that extracts data from Faction Packs and the MFM. Data devs are still working on a proper, human verified update. This version is a test of the auto updater tool that may be used in the future for quicker updates.

I just released an update with a new version of the script that should solve a lot of problems. All bug report issues were closed because there was too many to examine and many duplicate. If you notice a bug that you already reported, and is still here, please report it again!

Leaders are still not in yet.

Status of 40k 11th ed
2026-06-23

Hello everyone,

We just released a temporary version of 11th edition. This version was entirely generated using a new "auto updater" program that scans MFM and Faction Packs to update the game data. It is quite experimental but we thought this may help until the proper 11th edition is released, that is implemented and reviewed by humans. In the future this tool may allow quicker updates if it proves reliable. Please mind that:

  • Leaders are not in yet, the old Leaders system may be used

  • Stuff that is in the 40k app but not in Faction Packs / MFM is not in (some detachments like Black Templars for example)

  • It's experimental, you can report bugs using Report Issue / Game Data Issue. Please do not report anything on Discord for this version

  • When the "official" 11th is released, some things may change, you may lose lists created in the experimental version or lose selections like enhancements or detachments

Change to the wound counter in Play Mode
2026-05-06

Hello everyone,

A change was made to the wound counter in Play Mode. Instead of counting dead MODELS, it now counts wounds. For single model wounds it will not make a difference, but for multiple wound models, it will now account for the number of wounds to kill models, allowing you to keep track of the current number of wounds on each model.

Also, the main view will now account for dead models and only display the number of models left.

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
2025-12-16

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!
