Army Lists

Army lists standard#

The Army Lists page of a match holds one list per player. Paste the export from the Warhammer 40,000 app, or the list text from Best Coast Pairings, and the page reads it into units, points, enhancements and attached units.

The page shows the roster the way the overlays and the public page show it. Attached units stay in their blocks, leader first, then any support character, then the bodyguard unit, so you can check a parse against the printed list without re-assembling it.

A parsed list drives three things:

• The list overlay for each player
• The casualties overlay, from the units you mark destroyed
• The reserves board you fire into the automation layer

Where the list sits on screen#

The Army List overlay has a Position control in its Configure panel: left, center or right. It belongs to the overlay source, not to the player, so you can put both lists down one edge or centre one for a solo shot.

Player 1 starts on the left and player 2 on the right, so a source you set up before this keeps the position it has.

Sharing a list with your chat#

Each parsed list can be published as a public link. Press Share list under the list and copy the URL. Anyone with the link opens a read-only page with the full roster: units, points, wargear, enhancements and the attached unit blocks.

The link works without an account, so it can go straight into your stream chat.

What a link holds#

The link holds a copy of the list as it was when you pressed Share list. Editing the list, clearing it, or deleting the match later does not change the page. That is on purpose: someone watching the VOD weeks later still opens the list that was played.

Re-parsing a list does not update a link that is already out. Press Share list again for a link to the new version. The old one keeps working until it expires or you revoke it.

Links to a list you replaced#

A link belongs to the list it was made from. Clear the list and paste a different one, and the panel offers Share list again for the new roster, with the links you made for the old one under Earlier lists.

Those earlier links keep working. Someone who took one out of chat during the last game still opens the list that was played then. Revoke one with the x if you want it closed.

How long a link lasts#

A link stays readable for 90 days. The panel shows how long each link has left and how many times it has been opened.

To close a link early, press the x next to it. Anyone opening it after that gets "Link no longer available", and so does anyone opening a link that has run out of time.

What can be shared#

Only a list that reads like a real army list gets a link. It needs a faction, a points total, and units that carry points costs. A note or a block of text pasted into the box parses into nothing shareable, and the Share list button says why.
