Glossary

The words the application and this manual use, explained briefly. Each term leads to the chapter that shows it at length.

A–D

Area: A part of the main view: A shows the army lists, B the open list, C the catalogue, D the overview or a datasheet. How many stand side by side depends on the width step. More: A tour of the interface.
Army list: A saved line-up of your army. It belongs to exactly one edition and appears only while that edition is chosen. More: Create and manage a list.
Box scan: A whole box into the showcase at once: the package's code finds the product in the product catalogue, and the application suggests the models inside. More: Box scan and product catalogue.
Catalogue: The game data of a faction: units, characteristics, points and rules. In the application, the catalogue is also area C, from which you add units. More: Add and configure units.
Child force: A force under the force the list is built in, with units of its own: regiments, auxiliary units, allies. More: Forces.
Combat Patrol: A finished patrol without points, as an edition of its own with its own catalogue. You choose it instead of building it; it becomes a fixed list. More: Combat Patrol.
Contact: The section of the options from which you send a message to the developer, only on a click. More: Reporting a problem and contact.
Data folder: The folder on the device where the application keeps lists, the showcase, settings, catalogues and logs. More: Your data and offline.
Datasheet: Everything a unit needs in the game: characteristics, weapons, abilities, keywords, models and points. It stands in area D and in the PDF. More: Datasheets and PDF.
Datasheet template: A named set of colours for the datasheet PDF. Built-in templates stay as they are; your own you can save, rename and delete. More: Datasheets and PDF.
Detachment: A rule for the whole list. In the 11th Edition you choose detachments out of a budget, otherwise exactly one when you create the list. More: Detachments and enhancements.

E–K

Edition: A version of the rules of a game system, with catalogues of its own. Combat Patrol, Kill Team and Spearhead are editions too. More: Editions and catalogues.
Enhancement: An enhancement a unit or a model of the list carries. More: Detachments and enhancements.
Faction: The army you build a list for. Each faction has its own catalogue. More: Create and manage a list.
Fixed format: An edition with a way of creating a list of its own instead of faction and points limit: Combat Patrol, Kill Team and Spearhead. More: Combat Patrol.
Fixed list: A list you choose instead of building it, such as a Combat Patrol or a Spearhead. It is read-only. More: Combat Patrol.
Force: A formation within a list, such as a regiment, allies or a detachment in Horus Heresy. Every list has one force it is built in. More: Forces.
Force Disposition: In the 11th Edition, the orientation of a list, chosen beside its detachments. What the chosen detachments allow is offered. More: Detachments and enhancements.
Free edition: The application without the unlock. It allows only a limited number of lists and showcase entries. More: Free version and unlock.
Game mode: The form of play a list is built for, such as “Combined Arms” in The Old World. You choose it when you create the list. More: Create and manage a list.
Game system: A game with rules of its own, such as Age of Sigmar. Each game system has one or more editions. More: Settings.
Import copy: The new list an import from a file creates. It belongs to the edition chosen when you import; the file stays unchanged. More: Exchanging lists.
Import diagnostics: Technical detail on what came up while the catalogues were read in. It helps when a catalogue does not look as expected. More: Diagnostics.
Introduction: The short series of cards that appears once after the first start. You can see it again under Options › About. More: First start and catalogues.
Kill Team: A fixed format whose list you build yourself: you choose a team and then put its operatives together, without points. More: Kill Team.

L–R

Layer: A screen above the main view, such as a new list or the options. Layers stack; the topmost always closes first. More: A tour of the interface.
Leading: A character attaches itself to a unit of the list. Which units it may lead, the catalogue says. More: Leading.
Legacy Combat Patrol: A Combat Patrol the application no longer carries. It stays available and wears the “Legacy” badge. More: Combat Patrol.
List settings: The layer in which you change the name, points limit and accent colour of an existing list. More: Create and manage a list.

Paint scheme: A recipe of paints at the stages Base, Layer, Highlight and Wash that you assign to models of the showcase. More: Paints and paint schemes.
Points limit: How many points a list may cost at most. If the field stays empty, the list has no limit. More: Create and manage a list.
Product catalogue: The list of products with their barcode, from the public repository warhub-catalog. The box scan needs it; it is loaded only on your click. More: Box scan and product catalogue.
Profile count: The number behind a profile in the datasheet, such as “(x5)”: that many models carry it. More: Datasheets and PDF.
Read-only list: A list you can view and delete, but not change: a fixed list or one whose data could not be read. More: The list check.
