new update w/ skaven
- Thread starter robert
- Start date
Couple of things I have found. I do understand that creating this data file without an official FAQ or errata is most difficult given the poorly worded and vaguely structured grammar of the 7th edition Skaven book. I honestly do appreciate the effort you have put in as I am sure there were very many head scratching moments.
1. Warlords cannot be given magic armor like the enchanted shield and should be able to.
2. Storm banner is not one use only (please dont turn this into a debate thread. Until a FAQ is released the english version is not one use only. If you have an actual link to an official GW ruling please post one).
3. Warlord mount Pox rat should increase the unit strength value by 1.
4. The Screaming bell and Plague Furnace should increase Unit Strength by 6 not 4 as they are both mounts for the Grey Seer and Plague Priest respectively

With the introduction of half points, it appears that the points column on the sheet portion of the list is rounding up. For example, adding shields to a unit of 25 clanrats shows as 13 points on the sheet but 12.5 on the roster status window.
Confirming that Warlords can't take magic armor in this version of the data file. In fact, warlockengineers and chieftains also can't take magic armor.
Plague monk unit should be able to take the plague monk specific banner, but cannot.

Thanks for your hard work on this Robert! After playing around trying to modify the previous version to include the new Skaven I have a new appreciation for this.
Issues I have found so far:
Enchanted Armor subsection is missing across the board
Plague Banner is missing
...and can someone double check the rulebook and tell me if my interpretation of this is correct:
Gutter Runners - snare nets should be a count <= the unit size rather than a checkbox

this is a problem with armybuilder :~( either you have 1 decimal place everywhere, or nowhere. i reported it and they said that they would try and fix it in armybuilder 3.3 :~(
Clan Rats apparently have a 5+ save, though should only have a 6+ with their light armor.

Well, I think I'm in the same situation here. My armybuilder atomatic update is over, and I can't download the update manually. In fact I can't find it... Could you put a link in the topic or something, thanks a lot!
Apparently. Have you tried starting Army Builder? The auto-update found it for me just fine.am i the only one who cant find these files?
As for feedback: I think either the Stormvermin or the Clanrats aren't calculating saves right; when I give both units a shield, they end up with the same save, despite one having light armour and the other having heavy.
Edit: Looks like the Clanrats are getting an extra +1 from somewhere. I calculate the light armour (6+) and shield (+1) should give a total save of 5+ or 4+ in combat (shield/hand weapon bonus) and AB is telling me Clanrats which have shields are getting 4+/3+ in the save column.

I've also found something about Jezzails. They are no more skirmisher
It's bad, but yeah... So it should be changed....And I don't know if it's worth to mention it, but the plague censer have the special rule called : ''plague disciples'', so it might be good to ad it into special.And thanks hakoMike for the link, it helped me a lot!
And also, thanks a lot Robert, so much time saved, I really appreciate your effort for giving us armybuilder files that fast!
Here are a couple workarounds to issues until Robert gets time to work on an update. I strongly recommend people start to learn how AB works. It's an interesting system.
First, load skaven.dat in ABCreator and then do the following:
In the "options" tab, select bskMagcArm and click "Live" (in the upper right). Erase the text "val:runtime.Magic = 0", click OK then click Save in the lower left. This fixes the fact that some characters can't take magic armor, but it enables magic armor for ALL characters. Be legal.
In the "Unit" tab, select bskPlagMn. In the tag group area, click "New" and select "Stuff - Skaven - id: BSkavStuff" for the "tag group" and "ClanPest" for the "tag", then click OK and Save. This fixes Plague Monks being able to take the plague banner.
In unit tab, select skClanrats and change save (lower right) to 6
Finally, save the data file and reload the game system in army builder.

The half points are working. If you take two units of 25 clanrats with shield and full command, the point cost for each should be 132.5, even though AB shows 133 for each. In the army total, however, the total is 265.
EDIT: Sorry, I thought you were saying it wasn't working correctly. I see now.
