AI Smart Convert - Your Army Lists Just Got Superpowers

Old World Rankings · Published 13 Mar 2026 · 2 min read

AI Smart Convert turns any text army list into an interactive Battle Builder list in seconds, with rules lookups and .owb.json export.

Shipped March 13, 2026

You know the drill. You get your opponent's list before a match and start flipping between the army book, the rulebook, and the FAQ trying to figure out what their Talisman actually does, whether those Knights get Devastating Charge with that mount, and if that unit has Fire & Flee.

Four books. Three apps. You haven't even started deploying yet.

It doesn't have to be that way anymore.

Text army list converted to interactive Battle Builder format

Introducing AI Smart Convert

AI Smart Convert takes any text army list on OWR and turns it into a fully interactive Battle Builder list, in seconds. Rules lookups, equipment breakdowns, points validation, all of it. And because it's 100% Old World Builder compatible, you can download any converted list as an .owb.json file.

Here's what it means for you:

  • 13,000+ army lists already converted - every list on OWR, done automatically
  • New lists converted in real time - as tournament lists are submitted, they're processed instantly
  • One-click Send to Battle Builder - find a list you like? Send it straight to Builder
  • Works across every faction - handles Full Command, magic items, mounts, detachments, all of it

Before a tournament, review every opponent's list in Builder format with rules lookups built in, no books required. Before a match, pull up your opponent's list, check their magic items, see what their special rules actually do. Everything in one place.

AI Smart Convert is an OWR Pro feature. It's the kind of tool that, once you use it, you wonder how you managed without it.
