What is a free Age of Sigmar army builder?

Order of Battle is one. You pick a faction, add regiments, add a Regiment of Renown if the list allows it, and the list stays on your device. Nothing to pay, and you never create an account.

Does Order of Battle require an account?

No. No email, no login. Army lists live in the browser on this device. They are not uploaded to Order of Battle's servers.

Is Order of Battle an official Games Workshop app?

No. Unofficial fan project: not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Games Workshop. Points and rules in the app are helpers. Confirm the list with official publications and your opponent or tournament organizer before you play.

How do I build an Age of Sigmar 4th edition army list?

Pick a faction, a points limit (2,000 is common), a battle formation, a general, and one or more regiments led by heroes. Order of Battle follows that structure. A Regiment of Renown can go in last if the list allows it.

Can I build a Path to Glory army in Order of Battle?

Yes. Create a list, pick a faction, then choose Path to Glory in the army menu. Tick battlepacks (Ascension, Ravaged Coast, Blighted Wilds). The default cap is 1,000 points. Heroes can take a path, renown, Anvil of Apotheosis, artefacts, and learned spells. Lists stay on your device.

What makes Order of Battle Play different from other Age of Sigmar apps?

Play is organized around the turn, not a frozen copy of the list. You get this phase's abilities, the weapons that fire now, commands, core rules, and a tap into the datasheet. Other list tools often stop at the roster, or show that roster as an uneditable Play screen.

Can I see weapons and datasheets during an Age of Sigmar game?

Yes. Shooting lists ranged weapons. Combat lists melee. Tap a unit for the full datasheet: stats, weapons, abilities. Close it and you are back on the phase.

Which Age of Sigmar factions can I build in Order of Battle?

The factions page lists the 4th edition catalogues in the app, from Stormcast Eternals and Cities of Sigmar through Skaven, Nighthaunt, and the rest. Coverage follows the community BSData project, not an official Games Workshop feed.

Where does Order of Battle get its points and unit data?

From the community BSData Age of Sigmar 4th edition project. Order of Battle doesn't write or maintain that data and isn't responsible for it. It can be incomplete or out of date, so double-check points and rules against the official Games Workshop publications before a game or event.

Is my army list private?

Lists stay on your device unless you export or share them. Clearing site data or the browser can delete them.

Can I pay for Order of Battle?

No. This app is free, non-commercial, and not for sale. No ads, no paid features. Questions or corrections: contact@zheat.xyz.

Comparison

Which Age of Sigmar army builder should you use?

Last updated: 31 August 2026

A few free 4th edition list tools exist: this one, New Recruit, Listbot, and Games Workshop's official app. They all do regiments, formations, and points. The difference is what happens after the list is done.

Order of Battle stays with you during the game. Play marks wounds, lasting spells and prayers, and the abilities for the current phase. Path to Glory campaign lists sit next to matched play. No account. Lists stay on this device. New Recruit is a browser builder with optional cloud sync, and it covers many game systems. Listbot is a small text-first builder. The official app is Games Workshop's, needs a GW account, and uses their data.

The four builders

Order of Battle: This one. Free browser builder with Play mode (wounds, lasting spells, phase abilities) and Path to Glory campaign lists. You don't need an account; lists stay on your device.
New Recruit (newrecruit.eu): Browser builder, optional cloud sync. Covers many game systems. Optional account.
Listbot (aoslistbot.herokuapp.com): Text-focused builder. No account. Lists in browser storage.
Official Warhammer app: Games Workshop's app. Needs a GW account. Official data.

All four work. Order of Battle is the one with Play. New Recruit and the official app sync to the cloud. Listbot is the smallest. Pick what you actually need.

When Order of Battle fits

Use this if you want the list and the game in one place. Other tools often stop at a roster, or show that roster as a Play screen you cannot change. Play here is organized around the turn: this phase, these weapons, these abilities, the datasheet if you need the whole sheet. Nothing to sign up for. Lists stay on the device; export if you want a backup.

Catalogue is community BSData, not Games Workshop. Confirm points with your opponent or TO before you play.

When New Recruit fits

New Recruit if you play several game systems, or you want the same lists on more than one device. Browser builder, optional cloud, optional account.

When Listbot fits

Listbot if you want a small text-first builder and nothing else. No account, no Play features.

When the official app fits

The official app is Games Workshop's own tool and the official source for points and rules. Use it if you want their data, and it covers the rest of Warhammer too.
