Karmilis:

Hello there,

is there somewhere out(or is anyone currently working on it) the data file for AB 2.2 for new Chaos Dwarfs armybook by Thomas Hunt?(not the Indy one)

Thanks

Thommy H:

If there is, I don’t know about it. Servius made one or was making one for the 7th Edition version, and it may be possible for that to be adapted if you can contact him via PM, but I don’t know of anyone who uses both my book and Army Builder. You may just have to resort to a calculator…

Thanks, maybe I will do it on my own...because your book is great and I want to use it for my army :)

Thommy H:

Thanks, I’m glad you like it. There’s a pretty huge update for it on the way though so you might want to wait a little while.

If you talk to this guy/guys, I think he might add the list. I have contact him/them after 8th was released to fix some magic items & the bull centaur armour save and he/they did so within a day or too. There is the Indy GT list in there too and if I have to be honest I prefer Thommy’s version.

I would be very interested in an Army Builder 2.2 file for this book. I am far to lazy to use a pencil and calculator!

Spartacus:

Karmilis, are you still thinking of doing an Army Builder file for this list? I think it is pretty much done. If there are changes from this point one, it looks like it will only be grammatical or a clarification.

Spartacus:

Ok, so I went ahead and created an Army Builder 2.2 file for Thommy’s Chaos Dwarf list.  To use the file, follow these steps.

1. Install the army builder file from the Yahoo group called Arromanche.  The file I created is based off this standard.

2. Download my file from http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2260624/cd.wf8

3. Open the data files, probably under C:\ArmyBuilder\data

4. Copy my attachment over the cd.wf8 in the file

5. Open Army Builder and create a Chaos Dwarf list with the “Thommy’s Chaos Dwarfs” option selected.

I am by no means pro at programming army builder files, so help me make it better by telling me about any errors you see.  Also let me know if you have any problems with the setup.

Here is a list of the errors I am already aware of, but don’t know how to fix (if you do, let me know).

�?� “To many Spells” always on once you pick a sorcerer

�?� Full Spell list for lore of Hashut not visible

�?� Daemonic Construct’s upgrades must be self regulated

�?� Mortal Engine and Artillery not in same slot, so unit limits must be self regulated

�?� Cannot allow Volgar the Mad to select both the Lore of metal and the Lore of Death at the same time

�?� One Petrified Sorcerer may be taken in an Immortal Unit and one in an Acolyte of Hashut unit, rather than only one in the army.

Karmilis:

Thanks Spartacus, great job! Sorry I havent answered, I totally forgot this thread exists :slight_smile:

JMR:

Thanks a ton for your work Spartacus! Your Army Builder file has sparked my interest in Thommy’s list, which has some really inspiring things going for it.

One thing I noticed though, is that Hobgoblins should be 4 points base instead of 2. (2p for slave + 2p for Hobgoblin upgrade). I recall spotting some typo’s too, but can’t remember where now… Helpful aren’t I? :smiley:

I’ll try to post them if I find them again.

Keep up the work and maybe look into getting it packed into the Arromanche file so that more people can enjoy it?

Spartacus:

Ya, I wanted to talk to the guy over at Arromanche once I got some of the bugs worked out. Thanks for the tip on the hobgoblins. I also since noticed that the magic items don’t deselect themselves as options once you have picks another item in that same category. I will fix both of these issues soon.

Karmilis:

Any updates? :slight_smile: Thommy´s book is becoming pretty stable :slight_smile:

Ok, I corrected the Hobgoblin points, the magic item issues, showing the lore of Hashut, The Mortal Engine limits & the petrified sorcerer stuff.

I still haven’t been able to figure out how to do the upgrades for the Daemonic Constructs.

I also have not done several of Thommy’s updates, as he seems to have a new idea every week. Nothing wrong with that, but I’m just going to wait until it is done done to fix everything.
