The free Warhammer 40k army list builder · 11th edition

Build it legal.
Play it fast.
Never pay to play.

Every faction, points that are actually current, and something that runs the whole game with you — from the first unit you pick to the last secondary you score. Playing online? Send your army list to Tabletop Simulator in one tap. Free, because you’ve spent quite enough on plastic already.

Why this exists
“I built this because I was doing points maths on a phone calculator between turns, and watching people bounce off the hobby because their list app still thought it was last edition. I wanted something that actually gets 11th, rather than just storing it — and something my local shop could hand to anyone who walks through the door. No card number, no trial, no nonsense.” — Sam, who plays and builds this
The catalogue

Every faction. Points that are actually current.

Every 11th-edition datasheet, every bit of wargear, every enhancement, detachment and stratagem — cross-checked against the Munitorum Field Manual, the official Faction Packs, Wahapedia and BSData. GW nudges a number, this nudges with it. No more “hang on, is that the new points?” ten minutes before a game.

Don’t take our word for it — see every points and rules update, what moved and when.

The builder

Better the app tells you than your opponent does.

Faction, detachment, units — all through a wizard that quietly refuses to let you break anything. Two of a “max 1” upgrade? Not offered. An illegal model count? Not offered. A HARLEQUINS-locked relic on your Drukhari Archon? Definitely not offered. Turn up knowing the list is clean, and never get “gotcha’d” over a wargear option before the first dice hit the table.

To the digital table

From your list to Tabletop Simulator in one tap.

Playing 40k on TTS tonight? Warp Nexus is a TTS army list builder too: one tap turns your list into a Tabletop Simulator army — it builds the roster, hands it to Yellow Scribe, and gives you a code to paste straight into the Yellowscribe mod. No file wrangling while the lobby waits. Prefer another tool? Save a BattleScribe-compatible .ros and take your army list anywhere that reads one.

The Codex, searchable

Every rule, actually searchable.

Tap FLY anywhere and land on what FLY actually does. Search “fnp”, get Feel No Pain. Search “fight on death” and it still finds it — because nobody remembers what a rule is properly called with a dice cup in one hand.

War Room

Play the actual game, not just the list.

Primaries and secondaries scored across all five rounds. CP that turns up on its own each turn, so you stop forgetting it and then arguing about it. Tactical secondaries dealt from the in-app deck — or logged straight off the physical cards already in your hand, because loads of us bring our own deck and the app should never make that feel like the budget option.

Mid-game

Tap a unit. Get everything.

Every unit opens up where it sits — statline, exactly what it’s carrying (not what’s printed on the sheet, what this one actually has equipped), and the full text of whatever enhancement it’s running. No more round-three stall while two grown adults try to remember what the relic does.

Before you roll

Know the odds before the first dice go down.

Strategy reads the matchup going in — what the tactical deck is likely to pay out, and what’s waiting for you across the table. It’s the maths behind “hold this secondary or bank it now”, so you don’t get “gotcha’d” by an opponent who’s three moves ahead. Numbers you can see, not a black box telling you to trust it.

After the last round

Send them back to the warp. Then keep the receipt.

Final score, round-by-round breakdown, every secondary itemised by card, the second the game ends. One tap to send it to your opponent or drop it in the club chat — evidence, for the inevitable rematch.

Built like an app

Original heraldry. Sync that actually works. Two themes worth looking at.

Every faction gets its own icon, drawn for Warp Nexus — inspired by GW’s iconography, never traced off it. Sign in and your lists follow you about: phone at the shop, laptop at home, same lists. Gunmetal dark for evening games, cold slate when the sun’s on the table.

Every faction, one app

27 factions. One original icon each. Zero tracing.

Every badge below was drawn for Warp Nexus — in the spirit of each faction, never lifted from Games Workshop’s own marks. Whatever you collect, it’s in here.

Free, and why

Free. Not a trial.

Building lists and running your games is free, and it stays that way. No ads. No trial timer. No feature you were using quietly moving behind a paywall.

Running it isn’t free for me — hosting, the domain, and a lot of evenings keeping the points current. If it’s saved you a headache at the table, you can chip in below. Entirely optional, and nothing about the app changes whether you do or don’t.

If the day ever comes that I add something paid, it’ll be an extra — cross-device sync, the deeper matchup maths — never the builder, never the War Room, and never early access to points everyone else is waiting on. Said here so you can hold me to it.
