Grey Mage Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 *shrugs* Whats the big deal about this program anyways? All I ever hear about it is the bugs.... and then more bugs... and then gremlins with the tyranids. Ive always used pencile+paper+book for the win. Why do people shell out money for this?

Jarl Kjaran Coldheart Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 it is a simple tool to make army lists very quickly...i actually havent found any of the much rumored bugs. and many tournaments require it for entry. wolf lord kieran Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/151432-army-builer-releases-5th-edition-files/#findComment-1761681 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Betrayed_Spacewolf Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 and by clicking a button you can download any army book minus fluff. so lets say you wanted to get into warmaster ancients quick. well down load the system and viola rules help as well as army lists to help you decide what to buy.

Max_Dammit Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I use an Exell sheet that auto calculates my points Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/151432-army-builer-releases-5th-edition-files/#findComment-1761903 Share on other sites More sharing options...
muzzyman1981 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I can see that using Excel can be done but I can't begin to imagine the amount of time it would take to set up one.

deedark Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I like the programme and find it very useful - only problem is it's useless without the updated data files which are done by volunteers D.

Wolf89 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Thanks for posting, but I already re-programmed my SW's points already and I fixed all the bugs and whatnot just a few weeks ago, I'm not risking it on a download. :lol: It's helpful though for those who use the software and haven't configured their own yet.

muzzyman1981 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I really wanna get Army Builder (I have the evaluation copy) but I rarely have enough money to even think about getting it and can usually find something else to get with the money....drop pods, more packs, etc I wish I had a decent way to figure up army points without having to spend all the money on AB Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/151432-army-builer-releases-5th-edition-files/#findComment-1763127 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarl Kjaran Coldheart Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 a decent way is good ole paper and pencil. AB is just a quick method to use, and helps you learn your army better (atleast me). i was suprised that the longer i used AB the more i read the books to fact check... wolf lord kieran Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/151432-army-builer-releases-5th-edition-files/#findComment-1763134 Share on other sites More sharing options...

muzzyman1981 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Well if I could figure out how in the work to even begin I wouldn't mind doing that, but as much as I know about Excel I can't figure out how to do it....

Jarl Kjaran Coldheart Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 i have seen the excel file system, but i found a problem is the math...atleast AB covers that problem. wolf lord kieran Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/151432-army-builer-releases-5th-edition-files/#findComment-1763142 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ragnarok Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 AB is great and their team does a decent job intercepting issues through feedback on their site. Really helps me churn out lists quick.

Wolf89 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Does it offer a builder for 13th company? As the others have said there's no need for an update for them, as nothing for them has changed. Only thing would be Storm Shields... but that's all I can think about.
