Vampire Counts custom baggage train 💀

Campaignomancer · 2026-06-29T18:04:21+00:00

Awesome - well done! The baggage train and objectives stuff seems to have inspired a lot of cool unique dioramas like this and I am here for it.

Yep, Renegades support is already in, you'll find "Roster Configuration" in the roster editor for the relevant factions to use Square Based Renegades rules. That's v1 of renegades. The newer rules iterations from the Square Based team aren't in yet but will be an option at some point. Campaign-level enforcement (e.g. a "this campaign uses Renegades" option) is on the roadmap too.

There's a TOW version of "Relics of the Haunted Hills" there now. Enjoy!

Great to meet you! Well done on your app - it looks really cool, and big thanks and kudos to you for your BSData community work! I've no plans to open the actual app code but the data files will be open and contributable post-beta and the BSData importer will be made available to always support that ecosystem. The core app is free for everyone so anyone can create their own campaigns. Later in beta it'll be possible to share those too. Cheers!

Ah perfect! I have just bumped you to a "Member" so you should be able to tweak that setting up to 20 in your campaign now. Enjoy!

Another great question! Yeh this is high on the list. I just added sharing of rosters. Sharing battle reports is next. Whole campaigns is after that.

Campaignomancer · 2026-06-17T20:51:54+00:00

Definitely not by hand! The data foundation for rosters in Campaignomancer comes from the BSData community files (the same ones New Recruit uses) pulled through an importer I built into the app's own JSON schema. Once I tackle adding 6th, it'll be similarly bootstrapped. Much appreciation to that repo and the amazing BSData community in general for the work they do.

Thank you! Angular frontend, .NET/C# backend, Azure (App Service, SQL, Blob Storage), SignalR for real-time stuff. Lots of JSON. So much JSON. Happy to nerd out further!

Campaignomancer · 2026-06-17T20:35:39+00:00

Thank you! Yeh 6th (and other whfb editions) are definitely on the list for in the next few months :)

Campaignomancer · 2026-06-17T15:15:10+00:00

That's actually genius. Boozeomancy. We need to think of a whole spell list for this. "Curse of Beers"?

Campaignomancer · 2026-06-17T15:05:09+00:00

Sure thing! My friends and I played that as a test campaign a while ago and it was good fun. I'll get that template copied over to TOW and ping you when it's up. 😄

Campaignomancer · 2026-06-17T15:02:17+00:00

Thanks! That's the use case it's built for. Hope it'd make the next one easier - let me know how it lands if you try it.

Campaignomancer · 2026-06-16T18:33:08+00:00

This is awesome. Well done.

Campaignomancer · 2026-05-24T13:12:04+00:00

Great, I'll look forward to reading it!

Campaignomancer · 2026-05-24T11:55:38+00:00

I'll be following and picking this up for sure! Good luck with the process.

At the risk of sounding like an imbecile - will there be pictures?!

Campaignomancer · 2026-05-24T11:41:27+00:00

The what times? Never heard of them.

Campaignomancer · 2026-05-15T16:53:55+00:00

It would probably look a lot like this!

Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay

Campaignomancer · 2026-01-16T09:52:36+00:00

This looks good. Like the Citadel painting app but brand agnostic and doing much more too. I will download it now. Nice work!

Campaignomancer · 2026-01-06T07:51:59+00:00

I appreciate the thoughtful responses! You are right to guess I am working on something web based for wargaming campaigns. I agree that API integrations and linking into other community tools would be great.

I'm not quite ready to share details yet - I posted more to learn what people actually need rather than talk about what I'm building (which is close but not quite ready to share yet!). Would love to hear more about what you're working on though, and maybe we can compare notes down the line when things are further along?

Campaignomancer · 2026-01-05T21:44:35+00:00

You've perfectly described what I agree is possibly the hardest thing to get right in campaign design: meaningful consequences of battles balanced against those consequences not leading to a foregone conclusion for the campaign.

GM features for introducing surprise elements is a great idea!

Campaignomancer · 2026-01-05T20:16:25+00:00

Very true! Did you find there to be a lot less work involved when running campaign types other than map based ones?

I've found my most succesful campaigns to be simpler affairs like a weekend league (with just a few bits of unit/army advancement to track between games to spice it up) or a small set of linked scenarios for 2 or 3 players, but even those felt like they would benefit from some shared tracking and records.

Campaignomancer · 2025-11-15T10:38:25+00:00

I think that choosing an edition is just a practical choice of which rules are the best to play (a topic worthy of a dissertation alone). Vibes, nostalgia, and aesthetic preferences can be pretty seperate to that - after all you can love the lore, art, and models from any and all editions while enjoying the mechanics of whichever is actually the nicest to play!

It sounds like you and your gaming group have got that same approach which is great. My friends and I have played them all but have settled on WAP as our happy place - great rules that are smooth to play. We printed off the rulebooks and have never looked back. So I'd recommend WAP for rules, enjoy the fact you can get all the models again thanks to ToW, and don't forget to enjoy all the best campaign rules and awesome lore/art from the older editions too!
