Using Horus Heresy Detachments

Quartermaster 6.5 includes a rethinking of the existing Detachment capabilities to enable better drafting for Horus Heresy 3rd Edition.

When you create a new Horus Heresy draft, you'll start with any compulsory Detachments. Tap a Detachment to expand the view; from there you can add Units to the Detachment.

When you go back to the main Draft view, you'll see all the Units for your Detachments listed in a condensed format.

To add more Detachments, tap the Add button at the Draft view. Detachments are indicated with an icon in the list.

To add a Detachment from a different Faction, tap the Faction name at the top, then use the picker to choose a different Faction. Usually you'll start with an Allied Detachment. Every Detachment added this way then uses Units from the source Faction.

Some situations allow you to add extra Battlefield Roles to a Detachment. To do this, when adding Units to a Detachment, use the picker to change the "Add units to" setting. Additional Battlefield Roles are listed there.

On the main Draft view, you can check your Detachment allowances by tapping the total points in the top right. This will update based on which High Command and Command choices you have selected.

Expanding the points total at the top gives a full breakdown of all your Detachments, which can be further expanded to explore the breakdown of each Detachment.

And that's Detachments in Quartermaster 6.5.

How to use the Renegade Legacy Pack from Square Based in Quartermaster

Square Based has released the Renegade Legacy Pack, modifying the Legacy armies for Warhammer: The Old World. It's fairly easy to adopt the changes from the pack in Quartermaster without needing specific changes to faction templates.

Quartermaster is a permissive army manager, while most army list managers are restrictive. This means that Quartermaster doesn't force you to build your army in a specific way, with big red warnings where you don't fulfil specific requirements. As such, there's no problem picking different amounts of units than the minimums and maximums specified in the original Legacy documents.

Where units have moved to different roles, such as moving a unit from Rare to Special, Quartermaster caters for this too. In the "add units" view, tap the faction name at the top of the list to expand the options. You can then change the "Add units to" setting to the role to which you want the unit added.

Finally, for profile changes and new equipment options, Quartermaster allows you to add custom equipment to a unit. Tap the "Personalise" button in the bottom left of the unit view and select "Add custom equipment". A special entry will appear in the equipment list; swipe the entry and tap the purple edit button. Here you can adjust all the custom equipment's attributes. If you want to adjust the unit's profile, specify the changes in the Profile field (for example, enter "Ld+1" to modify the unit's Ld characteristic). When you're done, swipe the editing sheet down. Finally, tap the custom equipment to equip it as normal.

Of course, if you want to change any of these on a more permanent basis, you can always configure your factions right within Quartermaster. In the faction view, tap the "Configure" button in the bottom left corner. From there, you can make permanent changes to listed requirements, unit roles, unit profiles and equipment.

Conditions and Victory Points

In Quartermaster 6.4, you can add Conditions to a unit to track in-game effects. This can be helpful in games like Necromunda, where fighters can suffer deaths or go into recovery, which need to be tracked as part of a campaign.

Additionally, Conditions can have Victory Points associated with them. This is great for tracking progress in games like Warhammer The Old World with a complex victory condition system.

All game systems can use a "Destroyed" condition, which dims the unit to reduce clutter while playing. Necromunda and Warhammer: The Old World have both been updated with a more in depth set of Conditions. Install the updated game systems (available from the in-app template browser) to see Conditions in action.

Setting Conditions

From the Draft view, long press on any unit and select Set Conditions from the menu. Conditions are shown as badges on the unit card.

A Destroyed or Dead unit appears collapsed and dimmed to remove visual clutter.

You can also set Conditions from within the unit view. Tap the Conditions button underneath the unit profile.

Tap any Condition badge to change the Conditions.

If Conditions have associated Victory Point calculations, you can see the running total by tapping the Victory Points trophy button. Here you can see the total is 106 points for the dead Glad Riders shown earlier, plus 50 points for the Wild Riders' banner having been claimed, plus 50 points (25% of the Wild Riders cost) for being reduced to below 25%.

You can clear Conditions for a unit from their individual Condition menus, or clear all Conditions for the whole draft from the Victory Points menu.

[quartermasterapp]

Experience Points

In Quartermaster 6.4, you can assign Experience Points to units. This is great for any game with a Campaign system, or even for keeping track of individual victory conditions in a one-off game.

Adding XP

In the unit view, if the XP stepper is not already shown, tap the Experience Points button on the right underneath the unit profile. If Experience Points have already been assigned, the button will show the XP total instead.

The XP stepper simply steps up and down the unit Experience Points. Tap the XP value itself to hide the stepper again.

Experience Points are shown prominently in the top right of a unit card on the draft view.

[quartermasterapp]

Redesigned Armoury Browser

The Armoury browser, used for adding Magic Items in games like Warhammer: The Old World, has been improved in Quartermaster 6.4.

When a unit has access to multiple armoury categories, the categories begin collapsed with a summary of assigned items on the right. The total points is still shown in the top right. Tap any category to expand it and view all the items.

Switch the Filter switch to only show armoury items that cost less than the unit's remaining allowance. This is useful for filling up an armoury allowance. You can also type a number into the Search field to filter by a different maximum cost, which is great for spending those last few points for an army.

Searching for words still narrows the list to just those matches.

Armoury items can now adjust unit profiles

Armoury items can now include profiles, which can also include profile adjustments for the unit: values which are added or subtracted to the unit's characteristics. Adjusted characteristics are shown in bold, the same as for unit upgrades that adjust characteristics. In this example, the Dwarf King has a combination or runes that boosts his WS, S, T, and W. He is mounted on Shieldbearers upgrade for a further boost to his Toughness!

Necromunda

The Necromunda faction templates have been overhauled to reduce file sizes and improve efficiency.

A new Crew role has been added and existing Crew and Vehicles have been moved in the affected faction templates. You'll need to re-install the Necromunda game system and any relevant templates to access these changes. The Crew role won't work with existing drafts, you'll need to create new drafts before adding Crew.

Generic vehicles are now only available from the Vehicles template. Install the template, then you can add any Vehicles you need to your gang by tapping the + Add button, selecting the Add from another faction option at the bottom of the list, and then choosing Vehicles. If you're still using Quartermaster 5, you can only add Vehicles as an allied detachment.

Campaign tracking options are now available from a new Campaigns template. This reduces file sizes since you're only ever playing one campaign at a time. Install the template, then you can add any Campaign trackers you need to your gang by tapping the + Add button, selecting the Add from another faction option at the bottom of the list, and then choosing Campaigns. If you're still using Quartermaster 5, you can only add Campaigns as an allied detachment.

[quartermasterapp]

Quartermaster 6 is here!

Totally redesigned and rewritten, Quartermaster is easier to use and more powerful than ever.

The Library view organizes your Game Systems, Factions, and Drafts. Search across them all to find your work quickly. Recently used Drafts appear at the top of the Library so they're always just a tap away.

The revised Draft view displays each unit as a card with all the details you need. Extra rules and profiles are available if you need them, or tap the collapse button to focus on just the essentials. The card view is also available when exporting for PDF or print, alongside an improved list layout.

There are lots of little improvements to listhammering. If the Faction template supports it, equipping specific options will adjust the unit profile, and you can see charactistic adjustments in bold. You can now add a unit from another Faction into your primary detachment: they're no longer only confined to allied detachments.

Faction configuration and editing has also been rethought. There's a lot of conveniences added that make it even more powerful when authoring your own templates. Just tap the gear button in the Faction view to configure the Faction or Game System.

Most importantly, Quartermaster 6 is a stronger foundation for the future. It doesn't stop here! There's more to come...
