## What is Wardrill?

Wardrill is a tournament prep tool for competitive 40k players. Drill on datacard stats with quiz modes, parse your army list, evaluate matchups with full damage math, pull rules answers, and analyze opponent threat heatmaps.

Wardrill uses AI to generate tournament strategy briefings, opponent pairing analyses, and rules answers. AI features (Tactica, Pairing Scout, Judicator) require an account and consume monthly Cogitator Tokens. Free accounts get 15 tokens monthly; premium tiers add more.

Wardrill is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Games Workshop. All game terms, faction names, and rules referenced are properties of Games Workshop Limited. Wardrill provides analysis tools based on publicly available game data.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.50 — 2026-08-27

Threat Scan now suggests sensible default leaders for common opponent picks, including Aberrants and the Abominant, and the damage heatmap combines identical squads into one row instead of listing them twice.

Fixed: weapons a model carries two of now count as two instead of one; enhancements on a bodyguard leader are counted correctly; the damage calculator applies defensive enhancements instead of skipping them, and no longer prints a meaningless "but deals ~0 wounds" line; saved list reports always reflect a list's current wargear instead of a stale parse; last week's meta rosters show with a dataslate banner instead of going blank while updated numbers catch up; and the sign in screen states plainly that Patreon is not a sign in method.

Latest game data: the new GW dataslate is in, with updated points, force organization changes, pairing unlocks, and core rules, plus over a hundred rule clarifications from the latest FAQ pass.

### 1.0.49 — 2026-08-21

Mission Matrix: a new Forge tile builds a full tournament playbook from two pasted lists, with a per-round mission plan, printed scoring, board options for the pairing, and objective control worked out for you.

History is reorganized into three tabs: Progress, Saved, and Tickets. Saved opens first, with every list report, tactical briefing, and mission playbook one tap away.

Every unit in a parsed list now shows its model count, and units you brought more than one of are numbered.

Fixed: transport capacity now comes from each transport's own printed data instead of a fixed number that clipped Land Raiders, Repulsors, and other larger carriers; a wargear price that only Blood Angels should pay was being charged to Black Templars, Dark Angels, Deathwatch, and Space Wolves too; and the list import screen now scrolls all the way down to its own Import button.

Latest game data, including corrected ability text left over from an earlier rules edition.

### 1.0.48 — 2026-08-13

Attached leaders now always bring their weapons into the damage numbers. Several screens collected a squad's leaders in slightly different ways, and one of those ways could miss a leader's weapons while still counting its abilities. There is one way now, and results also refresh themselves whenever your leader setup changes.

Pairing Scout: the event player list is sorted and gets a search box at larger events, and if an army list cannot be loaded when you pick a player, the app says so right away instead of waiting until you ask for a briefing.

Faction data panels now size themselves to your screen and scroll all the way to the end, and the tactical briefing no longer cuts off its last line on phones.

Latest game data, including corrected Psychic Communion options.

### 1.0.47 — 2026-08-10

Fixes from two releases, since 1.0.46 did not reach the App Store.

Army list checks
- War Walkers can now take two Bright Lances without a false warning, along with several other units that carry two of a weapon they are allowed to swap.
- Fixed a squad size warning caused by a spelling difference between your export and our data, which counted a weapon as an extra model.
- The Visarch can now be attached to a unit Yvraine is already leading, which his rules allow.

Evaluator and heatmap
- Squads led by a multi-model character, such as a Warlock Conclave or a Command Squad, now show the correct number of each weapon and the correct wounds.
- Damage figures now show the damage that actually got through, rather than the amount before the target's Feel No Pain rolls. Damage and models killed now agree.
- With the phase toggle set to Both, the summary above a cell now counts both phases instead of shooting only.
- Two squads sharing a datasheet are no longer merged into one column header.
- The heatmap buttons no longer sit under the Android system navigation bar.

Rules lookups
- The Judicator now finds rules that are printed inside another rule, including several detachment abilities and stratagems it previously could not reach.

Other
- The faction detail panel in Astropathic Relay now scrolls on smaller screens.
- Pairing Scout re-confirms which list is yours when you load a past event, and refuses a list too old to brief on.

### 1.0.45 — 2026-08-07

Lists that run two detachments now export and re-import correctly. Only the first detachment was being written out, so anything belonging to the second one, enhancements especially, came back unrecognised, and the Force Disposition could change on its own. Both are carried through now.

Lance now only applies on a turn the unit charged, as printed. It was being applied to every attack, which overstated damage for 49 weapon profiles across 17 factions.

Corrected the damage maths for abilities that only apply while a character is leading a unit, or while a unit is being led. Both were applying regardless, which overstated damage for models fighting on their own.

Heatmap, matchup and Tactica numbers all move with those last two.
