The Warhammer army builder that knows what you already own

Most list builders let you write an army you cannot field. Hobby Armory checks every unit against your real collection as you add it, so a finished list also tells you how many models are still in the box and how many you would have to buy.

A list builder that reads your collection

Every other Warhammer list builder starts from a blank page. You pick units, add up points and end up with a legal army that exists only on paper. The gap between that list and the models in your case is something you are expected to keep in your head.

Hobby Armory closes that gap. The app already knows every set you own, down to the single miniature inside each box, so the builder checks the list against reality while you write it. Add a unit of ten and it tells you that you own six. Add a character you never bought and it says so.

  • Battle readiness on every list: units owned, models done, models still needed
  • Missing units go on the wish list in a tap, tagged with the list that needs them
  • Change a model's paint status once and the list, your progress and your backlog all move

Every system on its own terms

A builder that treats every game the same ends up serving none of them properly. Each system is modelled the way its rules are written, with faction data refreshed on a schedule so a points change does not wait for an app update.

  • Warhammer 40,000: 10th and 11th edition, detachments, enhancements, wargear, Space Marine chapters and allies
  • Age of Sigmar: 4th edition regiments, battle formations, Armies of Renown, lores and reinforced units
  • The Old World: compositions, slot percentages, magic items, mounts and allies
  • Kill Team: teams, operatives, team rules and equipment

The smaller games are here too

Not every game is 2000 points. Combat Patrol, Kill Team and Spearhead are each their own format instead of being squeezed into a matched play list with a lower limit.

  • Kill Team adds the operatives a team must take and keeps the team rules with the roster
  • Spearhead comes as the fixed force from the box, with your pick of regiment ability and enhancement
  • Combat Patrol applies its own restrictions instead of the matched play ones

All three read your collection like a full army does, so a kill team tells you which operatives are still on the sprue.

From the list to the table

A list is not the end of the road. Take it into the Battle Hub and it becomes your side of a game: missions and deployments from the current mission pack, victory points and command points as you play, wounds tracked per unit, and the result filed in your match record.

When points or rules change, the Briefing tells you which of your lists it touches and by how much. The Battle Hub

Works with the list builders you already use

You do not have to start again. The builder imports .ros and .rosz roster files, the format the other popular Warhammer list builders write, so an existing army moves across instead of being retyped. Text exported from the official apps comes in too. Lists go back out as plain text or a PDF for an opponent or a tournament organiser, and you can share one by link with anyone else running Hobby Armory.

Pick your system

Each game has its own page with the details: the Warhammer 40K army builder for 10th and 11th edition and Combat Patrol, the Age of Sigmar army builder for 4th edition and Spearhead, the Kill Team app, and The Old World for compositions and allies.

FAQ

Warhammer army builder questions

Is there a free Warhammer army builder app?

Yes. The Hobby Armory army builder is free during the beta on Android and iOS, with every feature included. It covers Warhammer 40,000 10th and 11th edition, Combat Patrol, Kill Team, Age of Sigmar 4th edition, Spearhead and The Old World.

Which editions does the army builder support?

Warhammer 40,000 10th and 11th edition, Age of Sigmar 4th edition, Kill Team 3rd edition and The Old World. For 40K you choose the edition when you start a list, and 11th edition lists use multiple detachments and Detachment Points.

Does the army builder show which models I already own?

Yes, and that is the point of it. Every list shows its battle readiness: how many of its units you own, how many models are painted and how many you would still have to buy. When you add a unit you can switch the list to the models in your collection.

Does it check points and army composition?

Points are totalled per detachment or regiment and for the whole list, and composition problems show up as validation issues while you build, so you know before the game whether the list holds up.

Can I import a BattleScribe or New Recruit list?

Yes. The builder imports .ros and .rosz roster files, the formats the other popular Warhammer list builders write, and text exported from the official apps. Lists go back out as plain text, a PDF or a share link.

Can I play a game with the list I built?

Yes. Lists go straight into the Battle Hub, where you set up missions and deployments, score the game live with your opponent and file the result. More about the Battle Hub.
