The Warhammer Age of Sigmar Points Calculator tallies a matched-play army list as you build it. Enter each unit, mark which ones are reinforced, and the running total tells you whether your list fits inside the 1000, 2000, or 2500-point budget.
How it works
Every AoS warscroll has a points value. Your army total is the sum of those values across your roster. The one twist is reinforcing: a reinforced unit fields double the models and costs double its base points. The tool handles this by multiplying any unit you tick as reinforced by two before summing.
The matched-play game sizes are fixed budgets:
Small 1000 pts
Standard 2000 pts
Large 2500 ptsChoose one and the calculator subtracts your running total from it to show points remaining, flagging the list in red if it goes over.
Understanding reinforcement
Reinforcing a unit is the primary mechanism for fielding larger blocks of infantry or cavalry in Age of Sigmar. A unit normally fields its minimum size; reinforcing doubles both the model count and the points cost. Most units can only be reinforced once, though specific warscrolls or army rules may allow exceptions.
The reinforced keyword matters for composition limits as well: matched play rules in the General’s Handbook set a cap on the number of reinforced units allowed per list (typically tied to game size). The calculator flags the points cost correctly, but always cross-reference the current General’s Handbook for the reinforcement cap in your game size.
What is not tracked here
Enhancements (artefacts of power, spell lores, command traits, mount traits) are free in points terms under the current AoS matched-play structure, though they are capped in number per list. The calculator focuses on unit points because that is where the arithmetic can go wrong — enhancement choices are bounded by the rules rather than by a budget.
Regiment of Renown or ally slots work the same way: they cost points from the same total, so add them as regular units. The tool does not enforce the ally percentage cap, so track that separately when including allied units.
Tips for finishing a tight list
Unit costs in Age of Sigmar shift with every General’s Handbook update, so always copy values from your faction’s current points document rather than relying on memory. A clean 2000-point list usually spends to within a few points of the cap; a significant underspend often signals room to reinforce one unit or add a cheap chaff unit to the roster. Use the remainder counter to identify that headroom before finalising.
Always verify with your opponent or tournament organiser which General’s Handbook edition and any FAQ errata apply before submitting your list.
