Yeah, there's Source Forge which IIRC is freeware - but it has
little or no support both in terms of software updates and/or 40K/WFB
army lists updates. There's also the GW software packages for 40K - but
those numbnuts have it so you have to buy two (yeah 2) software packages
- one for imperial forces and one for every other army - which is
definitely money gouging bullshit. In addition the GW stuff seems to
have more errors and is less well supported in terms of updates than the
user made files for A.B. Personally I'm sticking with AB. I'm hoping
the files for AB v.3 get caught up sooner rather than later, but V3 is
so new I'm sure it'll be a while yet, so I'm still using the older V2
package for now.
Hope that helps,

Have Wolflair sent out the beta conversion prog yet? Supposedly it'll
convert most files automatically, but I guess without the v3 definition file
it won't work.

I use Army Builder, and I can't see any reason to try using anything else.
However, while looking for something else for a friend I stumbled over
information about a program called Rollcall, I might take a look:

There are several reasons, but you could come up with a counter argument
for each. I prefer to use open-source software and prefer not to use
emulation to get windows programs to run on different OSes. I'm not saying
my way is the best way (i certainly don't want to start a flame war about
it), it's just my personal preference. So, for me, AB is not the best
option. Though for you, it seems to be fine.
I'm actually working on an open source alternative. It's designed to work
the way i want it to, with features that i find useful. So for someone who
is perfectly content with AB, this may not be an ideal replacement. It's
in the alpha testing phase at the moment, and i haven't decided if i'm
planning to release it when it's done.

The concept of open source is very nice in principle and I certainly
appreciate various applications such as Filezilla but there are times when
you want a piece of software that's either or little bit more polished or
offers a more mature\professional relationship with it's producer.

One of the reasons I buy software such as Army Builder, Collectorz.com
products, and data sets from D&D Code Monkey is that these are small
operations and you can get answers from the writers. They're generally
also open to suggestions. Army Builder is moving in a direction a lot of
us want, namely a miniature collection management function.

That's the program that I use. It's getting a little harder to find army
files for it, but since they're only text files you can just whip one up
yourself if you can't find what you need.

That can indeed be a problem with open source programs maintained by
individuals, that's a reason i may never release what i'm working on.
Since maintainence would basically be in my free time, i doubt i could
commit the time needed to be responsive to everyone's requests. I'm

That is a great function, over the past year it's become clear to me that
i need something like this.

Hell Yes! What if the gaming police come and lay siege to my
house? It's always handy to know at a glance what's available and can
be added to the arsenal. Sure, there's the traditional sling shot and
the pointy D4's and D8's - but what if it's a Sci Fi genera, and not a
fantasy setting?

Hell Yes! What if the gaming police come and lay siege to my
house? It's always handy to know at a glance what's available and can
be added to the arsenal. Sure, there's the traditional sling shot and
the pointy D4's and D8's - but what if it's a Sci Fi genera, and not a
fantasy setting?

FWIW, I have a database to do some of this already, so it's not such a big
deal. I know that I've got about 1250 minis, of which about 625 are painted.
Thinking about the low-hanging fruit, If I were to quick rough my OGRE minis,
that'd knock about 150 off the total. Similarly, roughing through my BFG Eldar
Escort fleet and High Elf Cavalry force would knock off another 50 each, so by
year's end, I could hope for 850+ painted, leaving less than 400 to go.

You need more unpainted. I have a similar number of minis (got to 1000 and
stopped counting), of which less than 50 are painted :\
