I’ve been building a Warhammer 40K army cost calculator - Added more factions + data improvements this week!
Been continuing to work on this over the past couple of weeks. Had some great feedback from people already, so wanted to share an update of where it’s at.
The idea is simple... Build an army list, and see the real-world cost of buying it.
For example, a 1000pt T’au list comes out at around $500+ depending on build.
I’ve been posting this in the main 40k subreddit more consistently, but thought it would be good to share an update here too.
Recent updates:
• Astra Militarum now added
• Lots of UI + bug fixes
• Massive improvements to pricing + unit data
Still working through getting every faction in (nearly there now). Space Marines are the last and final faction to integrate (along with some smart ‘chapter’ UX).
Huge thanks as always to the two devs helping me through this, Mike and Mike, u/stormthulu & u/nuclearwoofer - (If you wanna help out too! Just reach out!)
After that I’m planning to add bundle logic to help find cheaper ways to build an army.
And after that, we can really have some fun with UI/UX improvements (There is so much planned!)... But for now it’s about making the data as solid as possible. And the app as useful as possible.
Would genuinely love any feedback — especially if anything feels off with pricing or unit data, or from people newer to the hobby trying to plan/buy their first army.
