Custom Battle lists factions under each race; every faction of a race fields that race's units (units_custom_battle_permissions rows of any of its factions). The name after the race is the faction the army builder uses.

The campaign also recruits 1 copy of this unit that no faction fields in custom battles (wh3_dlc27_chs_mon_chaos_spawn: recruited from a building). The game has 2 summoned or scripted copies of this unit that no building or mercenary pool recruits (wh_dlc03_bst_mon_chaos_spawn_0_summoned, wh_main_chs_mon_chaos_spawn_summoned).

Where these numbers come from

Read from the game's database tables for patch 9.0.4 (main_units, land_units, battle_entities, melee_weapons, projectiles…) as published in the WH3-Dump export (commit 099796e8). Formulas that turn table values into card values are checked against known units before they are shown — how we verify.
