For those of you who use Army Builder 3 to create your Chaos Dwarf army lists: I’ve updated the Army Builder files to reflect all the changes found in the CDO FAQ/Errata for the Ravening Hordes list. I’ve tested the AB files with all my CD lists, and it seem to work fine. Now I’m looking for more testers, to find rid of any other bugs that might still be there.
Unzip it, getting chaosdwarves.aug and chaosdwarves.dat.
Put these two files into your 8th Ed data file directory (typically C:\ArmyBuilderEX\data\wh8), thus overwritten the old ones, which you might want to backup first.
I’ve contacted the 8th ed AB maintainers, so this upgrade will probably be part of the next 8th ed AB release.
Please leave feedback in this thread, or send me a PM.
Would you have any interest in making Army Builder files for Thommy's new Chaos Dwarf list?

For the RH list, I only had to change the existing one, and that was relatively easy (it took me about a day). Obviously, creating a whole new set of data files is quite a different story :). But I might do it, if there is enough interest.
I wonder if the Indy GT list a more suitable candidate, since that's at least accepted in some tournaments? Or is Thommy's list the most popular nowadays?
I've taken a look at your XML, and I might give it a try if you are not interested. Any tips for making Army Builder files? (Or handy links?)

I use ABCreator. It's a pain to understand (I still don't understand it completely), but it gets the job done. As for tips: I just opened other data files in ABCreator, and copied code from there.
It’s a program that allows you to select an army on your computer. Rather than manually calculating it from a book, you just click on the options on the screen. It’s not that complicated.
Ok, so I guess that each model’s points, points for shields, armor, etc are in there and you just match up your ideas and the comp spits out the value? Kool!
