Why use Order of Battle for Age of Sigmar?
Last updated:
Order of Battle is a free unofficial Age of Sigmar 4th edition army builder that stays with you during the game. Play is organized around the turn, not a frozen copy of the list. No account. Lists stay on this device.
New Recruit, Listbot, and Games Workshop's official app also build 4th edition lists. They all do regiments, formations, and points. The difference is what happens after the list is done.
