I’m no battlescribe expert, but in this short tutorial i’ll try to pass on what I learned by fiddling with
data files and the GitHub Desktop app. Hopefully this will ease your learning curve just a bit.
TIP
If you use a Dropbox folder for your BS data turn off the Dropbox client. It will sync every time
you save, slowing down your internet connection.
You can find Battlescribe tutorials at the Battlescribe Wikia you can find on Reddit,

The “official” Battlescribe files are developed here, so it’s better to join the community rather than
try to find another way.
On the left you’ll find all the categories in which the datafile is divided. Let’s explore them one by
one.
Cost Types: the unit of measure of everything. Of course the default is “Points”, meaning that all
the values specified in the entries are Points.
Profile Types: weapons, models and abilities all have different defining stats. For example, a
Weapon profile type will need the Range, S, AP and D values, as well as the Abilities entry.
Category Entries: this is where the macro categories are defined. Also global caps on weapons, for
example the “1 in 5 Tacticals can have a Special Weapon”. You can assign a Selection Entry to one
or more categories, we’ll see to that in the “Shared Selection Entry” section.
Shared Profiles: some abilities are either defined here or in the relevant Shared Selection Entry.
The place for all the profiles should be here, but for some reason every data editor went its way.
Shared Rules: rules should go here, but again it depends on the data editor.
Root Selection Entries: these are the proper entries you add to your Roster while making a list.
Assigning each entry to a Category (Core, Leader, Special) is crucial, otherwise it won’t show up in
the Roster Editor.
Root Rules: see Shared Rules issue.
Creating a new entry.
A model is composed by various statlines and entries combined together.
The numbers represent the ideal order in which you would create the profiles and entries in order
to have a complete Tactical Marine entry. First you would create all the weapons profile and rules,
then define the single weapon by linking together the Profile and the Rules together with the
points cost. After that you create the Weapons List to list all the possible weapons options and
define restrictions. Finally, you would create the Tactical Marine entry with its Profile, then link
together all the weapons and weapons list you just created.
In this step by step tutorial we’ll insert the profile of Stick Marines shown below.
Beakie helmet The bearer of the Beakie Helmet is more aerodynamic on the charge, thus gaining +1 to
his Charge rolls.
