Full Art Cards & Collection Mode 🖼️

v2.1.0
April 13, 2026
Highlights
  • Collection Mode: track your model collection without point limits
  • Imperial Knights & Chaos Knights — all detachments now available
  • Roster cards redesigned with full-bleed faction art across all pages
  • Ken Burns hover effect on all roster cards
  • Configuration tiles: Battle Size, Detachment & Warlord as clickable panels
  • Wolf Scouts composition and wargear correctly parsed (6–12 models)
  • Sister Superior wargear options now fully selectable
  • Geminae Superia now included in Saint Celestine's composition
  • Land Raider fixed weapons correctly populated
  • All page loading skeletons updated to match new card and toolbar layouts
New Features
  • Collection Mode: Any roster can now be toggled to Collection mode, removing point limits and the points bar. Use it to catalog your owned models, wishlist builds, or painting queues — without needing to fit under a game size.
  • Imperial Knights detachments: All 5 IK detachments (Noble Lance, Questor Imperialis, etc.) are now available. BattleScribe encodes them via a 2-hop chain not handled by the previous parser — Strategy D added to follow the chain correctly.
  • Chaos Knights detachments: Same fix applied — all CK detachments now correctly parsed and available.
  • Configuration tiles: The roster header config area is redesigned as 3 interactive tiles — Battle Size (sky), Detachment (amber), Warlord (yellow) — each opening a focused dialog instead of inline rows.
Improvements
  • Roster cards (Lists, Explore, Dashboard): Completely redesigned as full-bleed cards — faction art fills the entire card height (h-64), content overlaid at the bottom with a layered gradient for readability, and a slow Ken Burns scale on hover for a cinematic feel.
  • Cards now visually consistent across all three pages (Lists, Explore, Dashboard featured & user roster sections).
  • Explore and Dashboard roster cards updated to the same full-bleed design with social metrics (likes, views, comments) readable over the gradient.
  • Loading skeletons for Lists, Explore, and Dashboard all updated to accurately mirror the new h-64 card layout, toolbar structure (tabs + search + controls), and separator lines.
  • Roster card: progress bar height reduced to h-1 and the redundant border-t separator between points and battle size removed for a cleaner look.
  • Create New Roster placeholder card height now matches the roster card grid (h-64).
Bug Fixes
  • Fixed Wolf Scouts showing '12 Models'/'6 Models' as wargear options — composition group now detected by content rather than requiring a defaultSelectionEntryId.
  • Fixed Wolf Scouts composition not parsed at all — now correctly shows compositionConstraints {6, 12}.
  • Fixed Sister Superior (and Dominion/Retributor Superior) weapons not selectable — selectionEntryGroup links were being added as fixed weapon names instead of wargear options.
  • Fixed Geminae Superia missing from Saint Celestine's composition — unit-level entryLinks to model shared entries are now followed, correctly giving Saint Celestine a 3-model compositionConstraint.
  • Fixed Land Raider (and Predator, Whirlwind, Vindicator, Rhino, LR Crusader/Redeemer) missing fixedWeapons — single-model Strategy 3 fallback now correctly extracts fixed weapons from non-exclusive Wargear/Equipment groups.

Allied Forces — The Big Alliance Update ⚔️

v2.0.0
April 10, 2026
Highlights
  • Allied Units: include Agents of the Imperium, Anathema Psykana, or Sanctioned Armigers in your roster
  • Full slot enforcement per battle size (Incursion / Strike Force / Onslaught)
  • Allied unit datasheet preview works exactly like primary faction units
  • Epic Heroes, Battleline, and copy limits fully enforced in the allied picker
  • Multiple leaders can now attach to a single unit (double-attach rules)
  • Hand of the Archon (Drukhari) now correctly parsed and available
  • Land Raider optional wargear (Hunter-killer missile, pintle-mounted weapon) fixed
  • Space Wolves detachments (Saga of the Beastslayer, etc.) now fully available
  • Lychguard 4+ invulnerable save added
  • Orks Meganobz and Nobz composition constraints corrected
  • Plague Champion wargear options fixed (Death Guard)
New Features
  • Allied Forces system: Enable up to 3 alliance types per roster (Agents of the Imperium, Anathema Psykana, Sanctioned Alliance). Each alliance type unlocks a separate Allied Forces section in your army list.
  • Alliance slot tracking: Slot counters (e.g. 'RETINUE 1/2 · CHARACTER 0/2') are displayed live in the Allied Forces card header and in the unit picker, updating as you add or remove units.
  • Allied Unit Picker: A dedicated sheet for browsing and adding allied units, with search, a Legends toggle, per-slot usage badges, and disabled states when slots or copy limits are reached.
  • Manage Alliances dialog: Enable or disable alliance types from a polished dialog showing available limits at your current battle size. Disabling an alliance removes all its units from the roster.
  • Allied units in datasheet preview: Selecting an allied unit opens the full datasheet preview panel on the right, including stats, weapons, abilities, and leader info — identical to primary faction units.
  • Double-attach leader rules: Characters with 'even if one other Leader unit already been attached' wording can now attach to a unit that already has a leader. The captain-specific variant ('even if one Captain or Chapter Master') is also correctly handled.
Improvements
  • Allied Forces card matches the exact visual style of primary unit category cards — flush unit rows, no extra padding, amber accent colour.
  • Add unit button in Allied Forces section disables (greyed out, label changes to 'slots full') when all category slots are exhausted.
  • Unit copy limits (Epic Hero=1, regular=3, Battleline/Transport=6) are now enforced inside the allied unit picker with a clear reason tooltip.
  • Manage Alliances dialog redesigned: header with amber icon, limit info shown inline per alliance card, amber-styled 'Done' button, no stray border artefacts.
  • Alliance toggle cards animate the circle icon on hover and add a subtle inner glow when active.
  • Sidebar Allied Forces section shows allied units per alliance with the same interaction pattern as primary categories.
Bug Fixes
  • Fixed allied unit datasheet preview not opening when selecting an allied unit (lookup now uses the merged primary+allied unit map).
  • Fixed Hand of the Archon (Drukhari) missing from the unit list — upgrade-type unit entries with nested model entries are now parsed correctly.
  • Fixed Land Raider showing Hunter-killer missile and pintle-mounted storm bolter as mandatory — optional wargear (min=0) is now correctly marked optional and defaults to 'None'.
  • Fixed Space Wolves detachments missing — BattleScribe encodes them as upgrade-type entries; added manual-patches support for full Detachment objects.
  • Fixed Lychguard missing their 4+ invulnerable save ability (added via manual patch).
  • Fixed Meganobz showing wrong composition constraints (now correctly 2–6 models).
  • Fixed Plague Champion wargear options missing (Death Guard) — added via manual patch.
  • Fixed Rubric Marines soulreaper cannon blocked at 5 models — corrected max to 2 via model-max corrections table.
  • Fixed Dread Majesty enhancement (Necrons) showing on ineligible units — enhancement restrictions now loaded from Wahapedia CSV and parsed with a proper regex prefix parser.
  • Fixed rule names like 'Feel No Pain 5+' and 'Scouts 9"' being truncated — fast-xml-parser trims join attribute values; separator is now hardcoded to a space.
