Probably not much use, given it forms part of a much wider package/website, but we use the Options module within Applicaa for ours.

Awesome. Then I'm sure the students are having an absolute blast!

*puts down one model* Okay, I'm all deployed.

Congratulations! That sounds absolutely amazing, your students are so lucky to have someone so invested in ensuring the club is a success! - and kudos on securing the funding. If you haven't already, I'd definitely consider spending some of it on terrain, as that always helps the games feel bigger/more immersive than the good old d.i.y. hills/buildings made out of text books etc.

100? Must be on sale.

So having managed to ..... acquire .... a copy of the new Space Marine codex (or at least, photos of the pages therein), unfortunately the Blood Raven idea is no more. Librarians are .... suffice to say no where near as interesting as they were in 10th, even before the new detachment came out. However I found my Soul Drinker omnibus over the weekend and found that they've actually brought them back as Primaris marines with a bit of backstory, so have decided I'll probably be doing them instead. One of the detachments (Tacticus Firestorm Force) seems good fun, so will give that one a chance I think. Plus, I always loved purple stuff! (Dark Elves, Slaanesh Daemons, even my nids are purple & pink!)

Here we get the student to save it on a USB (they use laptops) and they're then escorted back to my office (Data & Exam Manager) where I can print it and collect it for them to then sign every page. The only exam for which printers are necessary for us within the IT suite themselves is A Level Computer Science Paper 1 (coding), due the entire test being required to be on computer. Otherwise it's laptops + USBs + me printing on their behalf for everyone.

Can't say I've ever experienced that issue at any point over the last 9 years I've been using Arbor (in various schools). It does talk about URLs - is there one listed within the club's description/on its page anywhere? Otherwise, would definitely recommending flagging with your support - either Arbor directly or 3rd party, whichever you pay for.

Arbor pretty much does this all for us already: But we're currently just a single academy rather than part of a Trust, so unsure if it will be as much use at that level.

Yeah, holding out hope that the Librarians follow a similar thing to Ork Weirdboyz in terms of changes to how they work, which might make having a specific detachment for them slightly superfluous. But will have to wait and see. Might end up just doing them as a modelling project if the rules don't seem particularly conducive as I don't have much else on currently apart from putting transfers on a bunch of Panzer IVs for my 2nd SS (which won't take more than a single evening once I get round to it!) for Bolt Action.

Completely agreed. However I don't expect that to be happening any time soon! And it wasn't much after I posted this that they revealed the list of the Space Marine detachments. And no Librarius one. Sad times indeed. There's details to be looked over, but still, makes me refrain from getting my clippers out anytime soon at least.

Agreed. No reason why they can't just have 'Captain' and then in wargear he can replace his armour with one of 5 different options to do the same thing as Captain in Phobos, Captain with a Jump Pack, Captain in Terminator, etc. etc. GW are going to be sorely disappointed then 😛 thankfully I already have a large number of unbuilt boxes that I've bought already pending any price increase. The new Intercessors are possibly the only ones I'm looking at potentially buying again, but even then I don't know that they look exciting enough to shell out for (and especially not at 'official' prices!). Main issue is going to be whether they keep the Librarius detachment (or similar) in place. If they do, we're good. If they don't? Blood Ravens won't get off the floor.

Interesting - but not surprising - to see GW moving the majority (if not the entirety?) of the 'first born' marines to Legends. I wonder how long they'll stay there before they get fully shelved? A couple of editions maybe? But maybe they'll stick around longer due to the extensive collections people have, as compared to some of the more unique models that have been 'legended' for other factions. As someone who is keen to get a Space Marine army back up and running (sold my Iron Hands at the start of 10th), I'm very keen to see exactly how they're implementing the 'less is more' approach to marines. Fewer boxes definitely sounds preferable to having to drop £500 on an army again. And from the video they put up it's interesting to see what looks like Intercessors having the ability to shoot and action. I would expect to see similar ways to change 'either/or' choices into 'and' choices if they're going to reduce the number of units those armies have. And as I'm planning on doing Blood Ravens, will be very interested to see if they copy the new Psychic stuff similar to the Ork codex. Will make running Librarians more interesting again, rather than just someone who has a special shooting attack.

To be fair, the advert never claimed he was shaving his face ... 🙈

It's unlikely to be subscriptions per army, but rather when you buy the codex and input the code into the app, it 'unlocks' that army so you get all their info and then any further updates for them (e.g. new units/rules released). The only subscription per say would be for the app itself if you want to build more than one list, otherwise you don't need to subscribe. Personally, I'd much rather they moved towards the Warlord model - one subscription for the app which unlocks EVERYTHING for all the armies! But there's no way GW would ever let it be that cheap!
