As for the costs you are listing, while I find the increase annoying, it isn't really unreasonable. Take for example the 5e rule book was $50, and the 6e is $75. Which is a 50% increase. The 5e rules also weighed in at 300 pages and the 6e book is 450 pages. Also a 50% increase. The only "hobby" GW is interested in is lining their pockets with your money. |

I'm not talking about the BRB, which yes was quite reasonable (unusually for them), I'm talking about a lot of their other stuff. Some of the battlesets, take the Ravenwing for example, from 50 quid a year ago to 77 now.... That's a disgusting markup way over inflation and frankly unnecesary, I doubt their production costs have gone up anywhere close to that. And really do you think a pound less for a digital version of a book is realistic? They don't have to print it (no ink), they don't need to bind it (no paper), so in all likely costs them less than half to produce, in fact it cost them nothing now as they must have already had the files around knowing modern production methods. So had they charged half and put it on all android devices that would have been reasonable.

Everyone, please move the discussion of GW as a company, and the discussion of what you think they intend to do to other forums that are better suited for that, and leave this forum for what it was intended for - a discussion of how the 40K system is implemented in Army Builder.

Still, glad to hear that the AB guys are working on it, and that we should see it soon-ish. I hope that it applies the errata and FAQs to the files, now that Power Weapon is specific, and its stats are determined by what the model is holding looks like. |

Hi everyone, I can see the new file in the updates section of the program (6th general release), but it says the file is either corrupted or not valid.

It was released this morning.
If you can keep your head while all about you are loosing their's, then you have probably completely misunderstood the situation.

I have just tried to download the new "First 6th edition General Release" update and I get :
"The selected file is not a valid file for army builder. If the file was downloaded it was likely corrupted, so please try downloading the file again." I have tried to download the file now several times and it doesn't look to even start to download anything..... Can you let us know whats happening please. |
