Warhammer 40k

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.
  2. No memeposts/shitposts. Memes are great but direct them to grimdank.
  3. Please mark any posts containing realistic nudity or realistic excessive gore/violence as NSFW; this rule mainly applies to cosplay and realistic drawings rather than miniatures. Being that 40k is inherently violent, this is a judgement call, and mods may occasionally request posters add tags.
  4. No political or social cause agenda pushing.

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 ๐Ÿ˜‚

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.
