I just bought this rulebook cause I am interested in the game after subscribing to the OPR patreon, but I thought this rulebook is about a skirnisher, not a "army wargame". So I thought it s played using individual models as units and not formations like in Warhammer 40K. Am I wrong? And if not, why is the rulebook talking about coherent or not coherent formations? What is the difference between "Grimdark Future" and rulebook here "Grimdark Future: Firefight"? I am a little bit confused.

Sorry for the confusion! While mostly models act individually in our skirmish games, some very cheap units are still purchased in units of 3 instead of solo and that's why there are rules for coherency.

Does this rulebook include rules for creating custom units/weapons/armylist? If not, is there another pdf that does contain rules for this? (I've heard a calculator for creating custom units is available on the patreon, but I don't want this on a subscription basis).

There is an app that does this, Army Forge Studio - It is an expansion to the list builder app and is the same app that we use to make the official lists. Tier 1 and above Patreon Subscribers get access to this app, and it is always being updated and maintained.

Any plans to do a PoD, as I cannot seem to get these printed as it is password protected.

We don't have anything to announce at this time. We've seen other users have success having the book printed from copy services - but we can't remove the copy protection from the book.

This game is fantastic! Love being able to use all my old figs, and still be fast & fun.
Once question, I've noticed these rules have been updated a couple of times in the past month. Is there a"change log" or something to show me what has been updated in each new release?

There were some issues with the downloads not working correctly, so we simply re-uploaded the PDFs, there were no rules changes. :)

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
