Interface Unit

Alternate names this unit is known by (e.g. spelling variants in other tools' roster exports). Consulted by name lookup so an import matches despite a spelling difference; never displayed.

Battlefield role from the datasheet header. Unit types (Infantry, Vehicle, etc.) belong in keywords.

Character attachment role (11e). 'support' implies the unit is only legal when attached to a host unit (cannot be taken solo); 'leader' is valid as a standalone list entry. null/absent for non-attaching units.

11e: alternate point costs that apply only when this unit is included in a host army of another faction (e.g. an Agents of the Imperium unit allied into any IMPERIUM army). Each entry mirrors a points tier but is scoped to a host_faction. Absent for the common case where the unit costs the same everywhere; consumers that don't model allied pricing read points (the native cost) and ignore this.

True when point costs are carried over provisionally (e.g. seeded from a prior edition during migration) and not yet confirmed against the current dataslate.

Per-item MFM wargear prices that the option-level additional_cost on wargear-option records cannot express: priced default-loadout items (e.g. a Terminator Assault Squad's thunder hammers, which are the default with only a swap-away option to hang a cost on) and heterogeneous choice groups where only some items in a group cost points. Each entry charges cost points for every copy of item_id in the unit's FINAL loadout (defaults included). Additive and optional — a consumer that ignores it prices this wargear as free, exactly as before. Sourced authoritatively from the MFM dump (wargear_option.points).

Faction keywords whose armies are barred from taking this otherwise-generic unit. Used where the game removes a generic unit from a specific sub-faction without printing a replacement (e.g. Black Templars cannot field Librarians; Deathwatch cannot field the generic Tactical Squad). An army may take this unit only if none of its faction keywords appear here. Absent/empty = available to every keyword-eligible army. Distinct from faction_keywords, which is the positive access list; this is the negative one for the rare exclusions a flat shared pool cannot otherwise express.

The unit's representative base (the most-numerous model's base). Mixed-model units carry the full per-model breakdown in unit-composition; this top-level value is a convenience for consumers that need a single base.

Limited-wargear squad allowances the per-weapon bounds cannot express: a GW limited_wargear_choice_set that is either (a) SHARED across several weapons (a 'for every N models, one model can take one of A/B/C' line) or (b) a FLAT per-unit cap ('up to 1 per unit'). A loadout is legal only if the summed count of a budget's items is at most the cap: floor(model_count * count / per_models) for a ratio, or just count when per_models is 0 (a flat per-unit cap). Single-weapon per-N allowances are NOT budgets — the per-weapon bounds already model them (they correctly sum a weapon's capacity across the model types that may take it).
