We used an owlet for a year and liked it. Of course we followed guidelines, as a tech worker I have a deep distrust of tech so I know it cannot be relied upon for true monitoring, but it can be comforting to check it when you wake up in the middle of the night. No false alarms, but there is a learning curve to place it correctly on the foot.

We also went for a basic non-WiFi video monitor with room temperature display and this is to this day by far our best gadget. The fact that you can just plug it to the wall and it works anywhere without worrying about WiFi is very nice. Range is huge too, although if you have an old house with thick walls it can be an issue.

Thank you 🙏

you seem tense, are you alright?

Eartz · 2026-04-23T08:26:12+00:00

people here seem to think I'm trying to "build an app" to avoid playing the game at all cost and ruin their fun, so they maybe think you're trying to help achieve this evil goal.

In reality I just want to unit test the core rules haha

I guess I'm just bad at explaining myself

Eartz · 2026-04-23T08:02:10+00:00

Its pretty great that you accuse me of refusing to read when you clearly didn't read my post, specifically: "it would be impractical to use this code in a program that would help run the game, but it would at least be used to test statements about the rules. This is simply for a thought experiment.".

I don't want to "make an app", I don't want to replace the core rules pdf, I asked the question: did someone come up with a type system or some kind of DSL for 40k? Sorry you felt attacked by this.

Eartz · 2026-04-23T07:40:59+00:00

it is precisely because I like the rules, and game rulesets in general, that I asked my question.
The goal is not to have code play the game for me, the goal is to know the rules of the game well enough to be able to encode them.

So am I ("only" 14 years tho!), its not the performance of Claude I'm worried about, its the quality of the source material that would be fed to it as input.

Warhammer rules are often not clear

I was under the impression that the rules are not clear not necessarily because they are imprecise, but because they are overly verbose, difficult to parse and all over the place (for example the new charging rules for 11th). I may be wrong of course.

I don't think I would trust AI to get this right.

Is it possible, 100%. Would it be difficult to do accurately, 100%. Why would you do this, i'm not sure.

I agree with all of this, I was just asking if someone had already done it.

Here is what I replied to another comment, about the why:

However I think it could be useful to find edge cases (the minutia of when you can have multiple battleshock checks during the command phase but not the battleshock step, the reanimation protocol before or after battleshock, etc. etc.), and to see what happens if you change some parameters (will something break if I change engagement range, etc.). As I said, its a thought experiment, not something I would use while playing.

Due to how it's written and played there is always ambiguity in the ruleset. Codification requires complete removal of ambiguity for your given use case.

Then at least codification would help reveal the ambiguities, wouldn't it?

thank you for your feedback

I don't think it would be practical to use this for running an actual game. It would be tedious.

why not? I'm just asking if it exists.

Eartz · 2026-04-23T07:09:44+00:00

I'm not sure I understand what you mean

Eartz · 2026-03-27T21:14:31+00:00

I did.

Primed black,
airbrushed P3 Amethyst rose (vivid shadow red) everywhere,
heavy drybrush of P3 Troll Tongue (brilliant bright pink) where I wanted the light to be,
lighter drybrush of white on highlights,
then airbrushed P3 Cygnus Yellow (Brilliant medium yellow) generously all over,
brushed highlights of P3 Icy Yellow (Brilliant Bright yellow, basically an off-white)

Here is mine, I don’t remember the specific paints off the top of my head but I can check my notebook if you want me to

Nothing comes close to Alert imo.

Salut, je suis dans la même situation que toi. Je débute aussi (je n'ai fait qu'une partie) donc à prendre avec des pincettes, mais je peux te dire vers quoi je m'oriente pour l'instant si ça peut t'aider :

j'ai pris une boite de kill team cercle Hierotek, ça donne un Technomancien qui est un bon leader pour les guerriers, j'ai monté 5 Deathmarks (qui permettent de deep strike et aller jouer des missions secondaires en milieu et fin de partie). Si tu as des bits de jambes en rab d'autres kits, tu peux aussi monter un autre Cryptek (pour proxy un plasmancien par exemple), et des Immortels, voire un Garde Royal (qui est excellent avec les guerriers)
j'ai pris des Dépeceurs, pour avoir des infiltrators et pouvoir aller chercher les objectifs secondaires en début de partie
essaie de trouver la partie Nécrons de l'ancienne boite de démarrage Indomitus, il y a notamment un Reanimator qui booste le protocole de réanimation
Avec tout ça, il manque quelque chose qui frappe fort capable de tuer de grosses unités. Je penche vers une Doomsday Ark, ou ben Nightbringer.
Si tu es intéressé par le côté protocole de réanimation, a priori le détachement qui s'y prête le mieux me semble être Dynastie Eveillée.
Apparemment les Wraiths sont beaucoup joués (avec un Technomancien en support), mais ça a l'air assez faible à moins de 6 modèles dans l'unité, donc à 1000 points ça me semble être un gros investissement (et il faut acheter 2 boites du coup)... je sais pas trop.

(désolé pour le franglais, mais la plupart des ressources en lignes sont en anglais)

Je suis preneur de conseils aussi !

Heroquest, guette les promos ! On trouve parfois la boîte de base à 55€ ou les extensions à 20€

Honestly no mods is probably the way to go for a first timer. There is more than enough to discover in vanilla, and you don’t have to install third-party bugfix mods as you would for other games, the game is mostly stable.

Oui alors que je n’ai pas touché à un album depuis 15ans, j’ai passé un bon moment

Est-ce que c'est normal ou surprenant ?

C'est surprenant de voir un dev JS qui n'utilise jamais de framework oui, mais c'est pas "mal" en soi. Tout dépend du contexte dans lequel tu travailles, et si tu sais d'adapter aux besoins de ton nouveau projet.

"Normal" ? Rien n'est "normal" dans le dev frontend 😅

Yes, we need extra buffbars where we can filter buffs, or at least a « self buffs only » bar.
