[robert]

hi! first i have released new files with bug fixes and stuff like cursed company, rhinox cavalry, etc etc etc etc

secondly. while the files are up to date with "official" material - the things in army books - they are behind in things like optional units, some special characters etc etc. i am going to post a threadin a minute that compiles a lits of all the ones still to be added, because there are so many i have lots track of them :~(

so. i need YOUR help. i need YOU to help get the optional things added, like the special characters and so on. please help! if you want, you will need:

1 the rules for the characters
2 the ab constructionkit which you can download

and the initiative to look at things that have already been written, and copy them!

i have asked the lonewolf guys to help people with this, so they will be hereto answer questions about stuff if we need them.

I will maybe be able to help if I get som instructions on how to work around the AB creator.

Best thing to do to learn ABC is to read the docs thuroughly that come with it...While you do that wander through various game systems which you play and try to figure out where all of the rules, special abilities and weapons are being placed into the unit...between the two you will have the basics of ABC...
I can completely understand about docs not helping...I was one of the beta testers for 3.0 and am not the kind of person who learns well from books but rather from doing, so one of the two methods (trial and error or reading the docs) should help a lot...

Ok, thanks. Will try to take some time for this!

[taskmage]

More than happy to contribute.

[robert]

thanks guys!!! :~)

if you want to help, a good way to start is the following

1 download the authoring kit
2 do the abcreator tutorial
3 open the warhammer files and try to make something work!!!

the best way to try is experience...

if you have problems post here abiut them and i will try to answer you!!

[osito]

Just to avoid duplicating work, I’ve got the following items done or in progress, and will be forwarding them to Robert as they become ready. As you can see I’ve got several projects under way, but my friends keep asking me to add things for them, heh. Anyhow, I’ve got these covered and should have them done before too long. I can also very quickly add other characters that people want – the main thing that takes time is fancy validation and inter-related unit rules like those on the two Dwarfs below.

Already Done
• VC Army of the Cairns (White Dwarf 310)
• Heinrich Kemmler (Alt Version, White Dwarf 309)
• Klawmunkast, Warlock Master (Online)
• Neferata, Queen of Vampires (Online)

In Progress
• Skaven Hellpit Army (White Dwarf 310)
• Skaven Doom Wheel (Online)
• Skaven Rat Tank (Online)
• Ungrim Ironfist (Storm of Chaos)
• Garagrim Ironfist (Storm of Chaos)
