A community dedicated to the universe of Warhammer 40k, a tabletop setting in the far, distant future.

This is a general community for 40k miniatures, art, lore discussion, and gameplay discussion.

Rules

  1. Keep it civil. Don’t insult other community members in posts or comments, and don’t make posts designed to insult other community members or parts of the fandom with different opinions.

  2. Posts must be on-topic.

  3. No real life politics. That means no political advocacy, and no real life political discussions vaguely dressed up as on-topic posts. If you want to discuss real life politics, you are free to start your own community.

  4. No memes/low-effort spam/Youtube poops style posts. grimdank is a place for those.

  5. Posts must be coherent.

  6. If a post is otherwise allowed but has realistic gore or nudity, please mark it NSFW.

I've looked into it and maybe... The formatting of wargear is ... inconsistent on the datasheets and creating a script that extracts useful data from them is challenging. like ... wtf is this 😂

To clarify, I don't manually keep points up to date. There's a script that reads the PDFs published on the warcom site. (well, not the pdf file but their raw text content) This makes it very easy to update points & datasheets, because all I need to do is copy&paste the new files.

I can understand the difficulty, and that's why it's so sorely needed. Validation of list and wargear with a coherent output/printing is a large part of what people will be wanting. Seems only the official app is offering that at the moment (though the view list format stinks), and GW putting it eventually behind a pay wall will be a huge opportunity for a third party application.
