About this site

Yellowscribe Extended is a web app that converts a Horus Heresy 3rd Edition or Age of Sigmar 4.0 army list (a .rosz exported from NewRecruit) into a code you paste into the Yellow Machine in the Yellowscribe Extended TTS mod to spawn every model with the right statlines, weapons, abilities, and scripting attached.

Both Horus Heresy 3rd Edition and Age of Sigmar 4.0 are supported here. For 40K or other systems, use the original Yellowscribe project. This fork is not affiliated with it.

Recent additions

• Age of Sigmar 4.0 support. AoS armies are now parsed and spawned, with the Move / Save / Control / Health statline, ward saves, warscroll weapons and abilities, manifestations, and keywords shown on the data card and the model hover.
• Shared unit damage counter for AoS. Scripting keys 2 and 3 raise and lower a single damage number for the whole unit at once, counting up from 0, since AoS tracks damage on the unit rather than per model. It stays green until the unit takes damage, then turns red.
• HH3 facing X-cross on scripting key 8. Pressing 8 cycles a model's base shape round → rectangular → X-cross. In X-cross mode, two corner-to-corner diagonals extend well beyond the base, dividing the model into the four HH3 facing arcs (front, left side, right side, rear) so you can read armour facing at a glance during shooting.
• Titan damage tracker on scripting key 9. Press 9 while hovering a titan (Warhound, Reaver, Warlord, etc.) to open a draggable panel with + / − buttons for each location (Head / Carapace / Arms / Legs) and live HP totals. Every change broadcasts to the table and updates the model's hover description in place. Silent no-op if you press 9 over a non-titan model.
• Void shields on keys 2 and 3. For titans, scripting keys 2 and 3 (which would normally remove / restore a wound) instead remove / restore one Void Shield. The current count shows in the hover description as "Void Shields: N / max" and updates with every press. Non-titan models are unaffected - keys 2 and 3 still adjust wounds as before.
• Titan stat parsing. All four location profiles (Titan Head / Carapace / Arms / Legs) are now extracted from the .rosz with HP, Primary Armour, and Exposed Armour values, plus the Titan Void Shield Array (N) count for the shield pool.
• Knight stat parsing with the HH3 hybrid melee + HP statline (M / WS / BS / S / I / A / HP / Front / Rear).
• Measure Movement enabled by default on every model the Yellow Machine spawns, so the TTS movement ruler is on out of the box without needing to right-click each model individually.
• Critical Hits and Rending integrated into the dice rollers on the HH3 TTS mod's dice tables, with cycling thresholds (2+ / 3+ / 4+ / 5+ / 6+) that sync across both players' tables.
• Wargear propagation for unit-level upgrades like Nuncio-Vox and Vexilla - they now apply to every model in the unit rather than just the model that "carries" them in the roster.
• Weapon-count fix for entries like "X heavy bolters and Y autocannon" on a single upgrade option (e.g. Kratos heavy weapon sponsons) - the parser now correctly counts how many of each, rather than treating the whole string as one weapon.

Carried over from the original tool

• A draggable datasheet card per unit with the full statline and abilities
• Wounds editable with colour-coded feedback as damage mounts
• Editable unit names before submitting a roster, and reassignable wargear
• Coherency check toggle in the right-click menu
• Measuring rings in multiple colours per model (highlight + ring combination)

The original Yellowscribe was created by Yellow Man, migrated by ThePants999, and is itself a rewrite of the original Battlescribe to TTS mod. All credit for the original tool, and the code for drawing measuring circles around models, goes to those authors and to thehivemind5.

Age of Sigmar: import a list (no .rosz needed)

For Age of Sigmar 4.0 you can skip NewRecruit and the .rosz entirely. On the "Upload" page, paste your army list into the "Age of Sigmar: import a list" box and click "Get code". Most list formats are supported (Sigdex, the official Warhammer app, NewRecruit and more), powered by Sigdex. Then paste the code into the Yellow Machine in TTS, the same as step 4 above. If your list has any legality issues they are shown beneath the code, but the code still works.

Age of Sigmar: in-game tools (right-click a model)

Once your Age of Sigmar army is on the table, right-click any model in a unit for these options (they work from any model in the unit):

• Open Auras Panel: the one-stop aura panel. Toggle measuring auras (0.5" up to 30") on and off around the model, each in its own colour; hit Rename to flip the rows into name fields and label any aura (for example, name the 9" aura Locus of Fury, and it shows as Locus of Fury - 9" on the table for all players); and use Sizes: ON / OFF to show or hide floating size numbers on each active aura. (Aura sizes can also be stepped with the 9 and 0 keys while hovering.)
• Damage Counter: toggles a floating wound counter above the model (per model), so you can track damage without opening the tooltip.
• Damage +5 / Damage -5: add or remove 5 wounds at once. The menu stays open so you can click repeatedly, useful for big hits.
• Army Rules: opens a card with your army-wide rules (battle traits, battle formation, spell / prayer / manifestation lores, battle tactic cards, Regiments of Renown). Blades of Khorne also get an interactive Blood Tithe tracker that is shared across all players.

Other handy keys while hovering a model: 9 and 0 step a measuring aura up and down through the sizes (a quick alternative to the Auras Panel), 8 toggles this unit's coherency range between 0.5" and 2" (for the units that use 2"), and 4 / 5 draw a manual measuring ring while 6 / 7 change the base size.

Editing Your Roster

There are a few ways to edit the models and units in your roster:

1. You can set a custom name for the unit. This will apply the custom name given to the model in a unit if it is a single-model unit (eg a character or vehicle), or to every model in the unit if the appropriate setting is selected in the settings menu.

2. You can assign or unassign weapons to models in the unit if they have unassigned weapons. PLEASE NOTE: not all units have unassigned weapons. This only happens when Yellowscribe can't tell which model or models should have a given weapon from the roster data (this can happen for a variety of reasons).

   To assign a weapon to a model group, there will be some buttons in the "Unassigned Weapons" section on that model group. There can be up to three buttons that show up (depending on the number of models in the group):

   • a button with the name of the weapon. This assigns the weapon to a single model in the group
   • an "All" button. This assigns the weapon to every model in the group
   • a "Unit" button. This assigns the weapon to every model in the unit
3. There are several options in the settings menu that should be self-explanatory.

Associating Models

To Associate a model with a model card, simply click on the model card (or model cards) with which you want to associate the model (or models).

You can assign a model (or models) to multiple model cards by selecting multiple model cards before picking up any models; the subsequent model or models you pick up will be assigned to all the selected model cards at once.

You can assign multiple models to a model card (or cards) by picking up multiple models at once. When you assign multiple models to a model card, it will randomly select which model to use for each model in that model group from the assigned models.
