The OWR app is here

Two big ones this month. OWR is now an app on iPhone and Android, and a rebuilt Battle Builder opens to everyone next week. Plus a new way to read any army list, and a stack of hosting improvements.

The OWR app is out now

OWR is now a proper app on iPhone and Android, free on both stores. Everything you use OWR for at an event, in your pocket: find and enter tournaments, pay your entry, build and submit lists, and run your rounds from the table with live pairings, scoring and the round clock. Push notifications tell you the moment pairings drop, results land, or your list is approved. And when you need the TO, the Call a TO button pings them your table number, so you are not hunting them down.

• Free on the App Store and Google Play

• Light mode across the whole app

• Sign in with Apple, Google or Microsoft

• Pro works through your app store

A new Battle Builder, next week

Meet the most advanced army builder for the Old World, with even better OWR integration. We have rebuilt Battle Builder from the ground up, and it opens to everyone next week, on web and in the app.

• Ever get confused what AP or AB your unit has, and when? Every rule is clickable and phase-based, so you see exactly what a unit does on the charge and in each round

• Rapid universal search: search by special rule to find every unit, model and magic item in your faction that has it, then build around a theme

• Organise your lists into folders, with folder colours and a traffic-light rating system

• Bulk import lists, and convert any OWR list to a Digital List, including Old World Builder files

• Fully offline, with proper mobile support

• Scan and share your list with your opponent before a game with QR code support

• Submit straight to your next event

• Persistent game modes hold your list and your opponent's together, for scoring and rule look-ups during a game

• It is the engine behind our new Battle Scorer, coming next month

Beta access is open on our Discord now if you want in early.

Tap any term on a list to read the rules

Every text army list on OWR now underlines the items, special rules and units. Tap one and the rules appear inline, pulled straight from the game data. Reviewing a list on the army lists page is quick, you never have to hunt the rulebook to know what something does, and it makes event prep fast and easy.

• Works on any tournament list

• Open the list in Battle Builder from the popover

• Free covers five lists a week, Pro is unlimited

Search army lists (Pro)

Pro members can now search across every army list on OWR, not just browse. Find the exact build you are after by faction, unit or player.

For tournament organisers

• Allow late army list submissions after the deadline

• Edit army comp tags on hosted tournaments

• Round results now come through in Excel imports

• Soft score rubrics can include a zero-point option

Fixes worth knowing

• Event dates no longer render a day early for US viewers

• Hosted event notifications use the correct currency

• Waitlist reordering sticks
