The official GW army list builder dubbed Battle Forged for the 40k app is finally here after six months- check out all the details!
We knew this was being worked on for a while now, but it looks like GW’s offering to help players make army lists is finally here in beta form. Let’s check out all the details. If you want to check it out yourself you can grab it here.
According to Games Workshop: There’s a lot that goes into planning your perfect Warhammer 40,000 army list: flipping through codexes, cross-referencing points values, checking different weapons and wargear rules to find that perfect loadout…
It’s all about to get a lot easier!
GW List Builder Battle Forge Is In Beta
It claims to be fast, fun, and easy, plus the first month is free if you want in on the beta! It will be subscription-based, but it should ideally function pretty well, and rules straight from the source should mean that it’s all correct without a doubt.
Battle Forge is the latest in a long line of reasons to download Warhammer 40,000: The App, which places all the Core Rules for battling in the 41st Millennium in the palm of your hand. The 9th edition codexes even include unique codes to unlock all of the relevant rules and datasheets for your chosen faction in the app, and when you subscribe, you gain access to a host of additional rules resources to make your games of Warhammer 40,000 easier than ever.
They were also sure to mention that there will be bugs and they want your help to get them all fixed during the beta period you can email them with everything you have found.

Azyr was super handy for building AoS lists (although a little confusing with awkward paywalls), so it’ll be nice to see how GW fairs with the 40k equivalent.
With even less free content on the app with each codex book drop, do you think the app will be worth it?
