new files released!!

Well-known member
hello,

i have just put out the new files! they are on the updates menu as usual!

i added the vampire counts, AND dark elf and dogs of war special characters!!

enjoy :D
 
small errors detected so far

hey there one or two mistakes in the new vampire counts

1 display price for champions in some regiments are higher than actual price (it calculates the right price but shows wrong price in the right hand bar)
2 banner of barrows indicates that wights hit on 3+ (shoud be +1 to hit, this is what is shown in the description but not on sheet)

thats the ones ive noticed so far
 
A few minor bugs, mostly in magic item selection:
Generic Vampires/Lords shouldn't have access to the Sword of Unholy Power (Mannfred nicked it), but they should have access to the Enchanted Shield, for 15 points.

Necromancers should only have access to the Nightshroud armour as they are not Vampires, nor may they take any form of mundane armour.

Wight Kings shouldn't have to give up their shields to be the Battle Standard Bearer.
 
Kildar said:
In book it says NECROMANERS MAY ALSO WEAR THE NIGHTSHROUD. So a VAMPIRE may wear it if he wants to
Is that somehow in response to my post? :roll:
Because I'd like for you to point out exactly where I said that Vampires couldn't take the Nightshroud.
I said that "NECROMANERS" should only have access to the Nightshroud, as in not also have access to the Flayed Hauberk et al, as they currently do.
I did not say that only necromancers should be able to take the Nightshroud.
 
btw

dint want to start a bugbing repport to say DO better just to let you know what to change in next file release

oh and DAMN GOD WORK id like to thank you (all that have worked on files) for your work since i cant and dont know how to make them my self
so all in all thank for a great efford hope you will keep on working for us all

Die hard warhammer fan
 
I would first like to thank the people who created the data file thank goodness for your diligence. I have found a few bugs: Vampire lords are supposed to only have 100 points of magic items as opposed to 125. thats all i could find, thanks again!!

Thanks for the new date file. It definitely makes playing the game easier.

A few problems:
- If I give my vampire (lord or hero) the vampiric power Dread Knight, he gets the nightmare but he apparently only receives the armor save of the heavy armor - his save should be 2+ (heavy armor, barded steed, shield) but it appears as only 5+.
- A wight king BSB, in addition to what was noted above, should be able to take magic weapons while being the BSB, though he could not have a magic weapon and a magic banner.

Thanks again.
 
the bug occurs when a vampire or vampire lord takes the vampire power "walking death" and it gives any vampire in the data file an extra 25 points towards magic items when chosen
 
Couple other problems I've noticed with the new vampires in playing with it:

1) It seems to think the Helm of Commandment is a Bound Spell item, as when I select it along with the Book of Arkhan, it gives me the "You may only have 1 bound spell item" warning. Obviously, the helm is not in any way a bound spell item.

2) A Wight King is forced to drop his shield in order to flag him as a BSB. Also, flagging him as a BSB grays out the options to select an extra hand weapon, lance or great weapon. Note that based on the latest VC rules, this is not necessary; he can both have a shield and be a BSB (or use an XHW, GW, or lance). Indeed, any weapon/shield/etc combination is possible for a BSB, there is no longer the 1-handed restriction as in earlier army books.

3) Selecting any magic weapon for a Wight King that is flagged as a BSB generates an Option Error condition. Obviously this should not occur.

Thanks for your hard work, by the way, just a few things to get fixed up. :)
 
First, great job on creating that file. It must have been quite hard with all these specials tweeks??

I have notidec a few bugs while using the file.

The accursed armour works well at adding +1 T, substracting the -3 WS and I but it gives a 2+ armour save instead of 5+ for heavy armour.

The dreadknight power forbids the user to change the mount. i.e.: you cannot choose a hellsteed, zombie dragon or abyssal terror.

When buying a corpse cart, the balefire and unholy loadstone options does not appear in the entry.

I think it was mentionned earlier but the banner of the barrows is now +1 to hit and NOT hit on 3+ (6th ed rule).

If I notice any other I'll let you know.

Keep up the excellent work and thank you. :D

Hi,

Army Builder is installed on my laptop and it's not connected to the internet. How can I get the update? Is the file available elsewhere?
 
I had 2 ideas for improvement on the vampire file. I don't know if those are viable or if you had thought about them. But hey, if no one ask, who will??

First, Is it possible to separate the powers by family just like magic items?? It would be a lot easier when looking for a particuliar power rather than sorting through the whole list.
Ex.:
Family: The master
Powers: Lord of the Dead, Summon Creatures of the Night and Summon Ghouls

Second, When buying a regiment, the order of options to take Champ, Standard and Mus is somewhat strange. Choosing a magic banner even before having a standard bearer in the unit is rather unusual!!
1. Magic banner
2. Musician
3. Champ
4. Standard

IMHO, the order should be Champ, Mus, Standard then magic banner. It's more logical this way. But then again these are just ideas for improving the fie.

Thank you and keep on the good work.
 
Hi all,

According to the FAQ (p. 4) I read that the handweapon & shield bonus counts for mundane AND magic shields now. This is not included into the AB3 file yet. Might be a tough job to change ALL shields...

My 2 cents...

Some bugs I found

2) A Wight King is forced to drop his shield in order to flag him as a BSB. Also, flagging him as a BSB grays out the options to select an extra hand weapon, lance or great weapon. Note that based on the latest VC rules, this is not necessary; he can both have a shield and be a BSB (or use an XHW, GW, or lance). Indeed, any weapon/shield/etc combination is possible for a BSB, there is no longer the 1-handed restriction as in earlier army books.

I had that problem too ..had to limit my lists points to 12 lower so that I didn't over spend (I wanted a lance).

Walking Death: It's adds 25 points to magical items pool
Sword of Unholy Power: Can be taken by normal vampires (lords and hero) ..and it's only a special chr. that carries it.
Black Coach: The Crain Wraith mounted on the BC should have a 3/4 str stat .. it have GW and it's mounted.

Agreed, just wanted to say thanks for your hard work. I wish I knew how to write it so I could assist...
