What is {primary_keyword}?

{primary_keyword} is a tool used by Warhammer players to determine the total point cost of an army list. It helps you stay within the agreed point limit for a game, ensuring fair play. Anyone building an army, from beginners to tournament veterans, can benefit from a reliable {primary_keyword}. Common misconceptions include thinking the calculator can suggest optimal army composition; it simply adds up the points you input.

{primary_keyword} Formula and Mathematical Explanation

The calculation is straightforward: for each unit type, multiply the points per model by the number of models, then sum all unit totals.

Formula: Total Points = Σ (Points_per_Model_i × Quantity_i)

Variables

Variable	Meaning	Unit	Typical Range
Points_per_Model_i	Point cost of a single model of unit i	points	10‑300
Quantity_i	Number of models of unit i in the army	models	1‑50
Total Points	Sum of all unit costs	points	0‑2000

Practical Examples (Real-World Use Cases)

Example 1

Unit A: 100 points per model, 5 models
Unit B: 150 points per model, 3 models
Unit C: 80 points per model, 10 models

Calculations:
Unit A total = 100 × 5 = 500
Unit B total = 150 × 3 = 450
Unit C total = 80 × 10 = 800
Total Army Points = 500 + 450 + 800 = 1,750 points

Example 2

Unit A: 45 points per model, 20 models
Unit B: 200 points per model, 2 models
Unit C: 0 points (no units)

Calculations:
Unit A total = 45 × 20 = 900
Unit B total = 200 × 2 = 400
Total Army Points = 900 + 400 = 1,300 points
