About WarFoundry

WarFoundry is a cross-platform, multi-game system, open-source army builder. That's a lot of words, but what does it mean? Basically, WarFoundry is:

  • An application to help create armies
  • An application that should be flexible enough to work with any game (Warhammer, Warhammer 40,000, Warmachine, Confrontation and the rest)
  • Compatible with all major operating systems (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, BSD, Solaris)
  • Free to use ('free as in beer')
  • Free to redistribute and modify ('free as in speech')

Getting WarFoundry

WarFoundry is currently still in development and a public release has not been made yet. If you want to get the latest development build then check out our Getting Started document.

Once WarFoundry reaches the WarFoundry v0.1 milestone a public release will be made on the Downloads page.

Helping out

Anyone can help out with WarFoundry, and you don't need to be a developer/programmer. We also need users, testers, translators, graphics improvements and documentation. Gamers from game systems other than Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 would also be hugely helpful so that we can identify things we're not handling correct. If you think you can help in any of these areas, please read our What We Need list on the developer's site.
