Oi! AB40k +army builder lot ..Read this :D

Postby killmaimburn » Sun May 22, 2011 10:02 am

I've been using Army Builder 2.2 for yonks, and thanks to HomerS have carried on having awesomely up to date, tidy interfaces that print very clearly...but.
I've started to look at other applications, my eyes have wandered and I'm wondering if you have much experience hanging out in bars trying to chat up other apps?

One I've read a fair bit about recently is Battlescribe, free INC its Android version, to port things backwards and forwards from your mobile to PC.
Random internet folks say its easier to enter datafile information.
GW seems to have recently battered it for including data files so they will now need to start being community developed (there already appears to be some people doing some stuff).

So techy lot, whats it got under the hood? Web folk what does support look like, can it be kept up to date, everyone else..have you given it a whirl? (timewizard might know a bunch of stuff about this because every google I did pointed to dakka conversations)

V late edit- oh rosters don't have any stats, just names,purchased wargear and points ,oh well.. codex summary sheet required to sit beside it :( (its like a very good version of the one GW sold ages back, but its not AB)
Barely even lurking..

I haven't played with BattleScribe, but I have exchanged PMs with the guy who started it up and he recently got hit with a GW letter of IP infringement due to including full rules and stats. Looks like he's gone too far the other way and dropped the stats now, making it not quite as simple to use the roster as AB.
