I have found a pretty neat little Warhammer Fantasy app for android. It's made by @FantasyMathHamr called Fantasy MathHammer. The price is perfect at 0.00 US (that's 0.00 Euros if I've converted it correctly.)
If I haven't already convinced you with the price, I guess I could actually say what the hell it is/does. Fantasy MathHammer allows you to put in 2 different units Warhammer units, you can select unit options, command options, number of models, the unit configuration etc, and MathHammer will simulate the fight for you. There is no need to own all the different army books, learn the stats, or know any math. This just does it for you.
Think about it this way, if you're a fairly casual player and you're up against an army you haven't fought before, this is a really quick way to judge a unit's destructive power. For example, if I've never played against Vampire counts and I see a unit of 60 zombies and want to know if my unit of 8 Maneaters are enough to take them out. MathHammer can do that for you!
The app itself is really cleanly designed, it only takes a quick glance at it to figure out how to use it. It is still in the early stages of development, so not all unit options are present, but it is being actively developed with new releases coming out all the time. You can follow the author's blog at http://blogofgrudges.blogspot.ie/ and see the updates as they roll out.
In conclusion, stop reading this and go download it. It's FREE.
