Warhammer 3 console commands

Total War: Warhammer III has no console of its own. The commands come from the Console Commands (Modding Tool) mod by prop joe on the Steam Workshop, used by 191,504 players. Subscribe, tick it in the launcher's mod list, and in a campaign a round button appears top left: it opens a text box where you type a command and press the button next to it. Every command below is read from the mod's own script (version of 30 Sep 2026), and the keys they take come from the game's tables for patch 9.0.4 — press any command or key to copy it.

The keys

Every command

<angle brackets> are values to fill in, [square brackets] can be left out. Many act on what is selected: click the army, character or settlement first.

Units and armies

Command	What it does	Select first
`au <unit_key> [number]`	Adds the unit to the selected army (one, or the number given).Select: army Unit keys ›	army

Skill points: how much experience to add

Each rank brings one skill point. The experience a rank needs is the game's character_experience_skill_tiers table (patch 9.0.4), the same for lords and heroes up to rank 50 in Immortal Empires and Realm of Chaos. Select the character and paste the command; experience it already has toward the next rank adds on top.

From rankto rank

19 ranks, 19 skill points — rank 20 needs 48,700 experience in all.

When a command does nothing

No button top left: the mod isn't ticked in the launcher, or another script mod broke and took the mod's script with it. Try it alone; unsubscribe and subscribe again to force a fresh download (the author's advice).
Nothing seems to change: units, movement and the like are given, but the panel doesn't refresh — click the army or character again.
Most commands need something selected first (the third column above); au, heal and add xp need an army or character, gr, bb and primary a settlement.
Another race's units can T-pose in battle, and another faction's legendary lords may not work: the mod gives them, but the game's tables aren't made for it.
Multiplayer works only in part, the author says.
After a patch, a mod that hasn't been updated can break — this one was last updated Sep 29, 2026. Which popular mods are updated for patch 9.0.4.

Commands as the mod's script parses them (script/campaign/mod/pj_console.lua, version of 30 Sep 2026), wording after its Workshop page and list of further commands; checked 14 Oct 2026. Modding commands (lua, export map, dump ui, building test) left out.
