Well as I don't have a degree in your field and as I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, I'll just say <shrug>


We'd be happy for you to sort all this out for us if you can, Apoc. Would you like to take on the problems you raise and fix the doc for us?


Completely odd as I set every page for A4

Outstanding. Dobbsy et all: Thank you for all your hard work bringing this together.

type time!
I think word/pub call it something different, like condensed character spacing in points. You might not know what it is, but you've still done it what it means is this:

Letters are closer, which at the size above is a little ugly (the letters are clashing together) but legible. At a tiny point size witha font not designed for such abuse you damage legibility of already difficult to read text.


Broadly speaking, yes, I'd love to. However, im afraid that this might mean using MS Publisher? Also a matter of finding the time, certainly not this week

I assume it's only the table of contents this is occuring as everything else was set as 7 and 6 pt for all army lists. Unfortunately to fit the entire table of contents on one page I had to take a liberty with font size other wise we'd end up with the contents running over to a second page which isn't ideal really. It would have been fine if the doc were set to print on two opposing pages (like a book) but it isn't - it's designed to print one sequential page at a time.

As to endash etc problem, most of that problem is inconsequential to most people who don't understand it (like me) and I would guess some of the problem occured when copying and pasting from different fonts, from different documents, using different formatting. You can't imagine the time and effort it took to change everything over to one font and size from several different documents. It would probably have taken 3-4 days less elapsed time on this if this wasn't necessary. Some things just had to be retyped from scratch even.

Regardless, I'm glad it's out finally.

So are we. It's been a long time coming.

Both tedious bits of legalese in a tiny little font so they don't distract from the awesomeness that is the full compendium!

Fantastic, great work.

How about using more of the margins? There are huge blank spaces on the pages which could be used to have bigger fonts!

If it was only the table of contents i would not have noticed and would not consider it a problem. This is document wide and significant. Example taken directly from your pdf p6:

Your cell entry in blue (rendered directly from your pdf), vs regular, red overlay shows the extent of the negative tracking.


No, or at least it is not appearing as such in the pdf we have been given. Page 6 again:

given the strange number (5.64pt) is this perhaps 6 point type but then shrunk to fit page when printed to pdf format? However, this would not explain the negative 43 tracking (unless your post script pdf printer is doing something very clever/retarded).


Yep, i understand this, don't worry i mind more when it is inconsistant (mixed dashes and hyphens), than that it is wrong (all hyphens).

And again, thanks so much for your work, greatly appreciated.

I think that is now being addressed in the FAQs to encompass all slow-firing weapons, so the warhound would lose the note

No they arecorrect as they are -425+250 to match their cost across all the other lists

I'm away for two weeks, come home for christmas and what a nice christmas gift this is. Thank you, dobbsy and all the volunteers for making this happen.

Will proof read for typos,

Merry christmas,
Fredmans

not really, as for one thing, neither unit is present in other lists. the similar units are found elsewhere, but these are specifically variants, and have been renamed to reflect that. the harbinger bomber is not the same as the harbinger. the hell-talon fighter bomber is not the same as the hell-talon.

the harbinger variant has different armour stats, the hell talon variant has reduced range, both have been tested quite a bit at their current stats, and prices.

it seems detrimental to list development to enforce the price of a similar but different unit. honestly, enforcing uniform price within a faction is a bad idea to begin with. some units are worth more to some lists than others, and their costs should be flexible in order to accommodate that.

firstly, loving that this is out

briefly going through the Squats the following stuck out to me...

* Squats no longer ignore the first blast-marker, intentionally removed?

* Iron Hawk no longer spots for Colossus?

* Thurgrimm's Stronghold List - Thunderfire Battery: says u get 2-3 Thunderfire units for 250 points...indicates to me that you would pay the same points for 2 or 3 units or is it 250 points per unit?

Impressive! A big thank you!
But: Have all armies of the same "race" to be the sae colour? Blue background for Salamanders, BloodAngels, etc look strange
And no Armageddon Steel Legion Planetary Defence Force armylist?
Will look for typos after the holidays.
