hi guys! I'm an old time epic player, new to ea.

If anyone's interested, I started creating data files for battlescribe (free army list editor app for iOS and android). All epicuk marine and guard lists done so far.

Repository here (install battlescribe, click 'manage data', enter this URL then click 'update data'):

Still got to download it!
Will check it out as soon as the 'table project' for the club is near completion ;)

Is your data based on the NetEA army lists? I just downloaded the app today

Got the all and the data. Any chance you can add the unit numbers (ie an SM assault formation had 6 units and 3 rhinos)

Why not use the existing online Epic Army Builder? It's free, has all the armies extensively checked, lets you save lists and it's browser based so works on anything (including my Symbian mobile, so presumably Android and iOS too).

The web builder is very handy, but saving the lists for future use involves storing the URLs somewhere (text file, bookmarks folder?) instead of having a list of saved rosters.

Also, on a touchscreen it's surprisingly easy to unintentionally delete a formation you've spent time tweaking. :(

Battlescribe is a decent little app. There is nothing wrong with the online army lists other than I don't always have Internet access :)

I've had a quick look and it's fairly easy to add unit profiles and weapon profiles in the catalogue editor, it's just a lot of grunt data entry work. However I can't see a way to display the weapon profiles as part of the unit profile. So you'd end up something like the below, with the weapons for the detachment being shown below the unit profiles:

Code:
+++ No Name (225pts) +++
+++ 0pt SM: Codex Astartes IJW Roster (Epic)) +++

Selections:

SM: Codex Astartes IJW (Epic) Selections:

+ Detachments + (225pts)

    * Assault Marines (225pts)
        Vindicator (50pts)



Profile Summary:

                    Name       Type   Speed  ArmourClose CombatFire Fight   Notes                     Ref
         Assault Marines        Inf    30cm      4+      3+      5+
              Vindicator         AV    25cm      4+      6+      4+Demolisher

                    Name      RangeFire Power                     Ref
              Demolisher       30cmAP3+/AT4+ Ignore Cover

Interesting. I guess it possible to add unit numbers in the same way?

If anyones interested, I've just started adding the unit data, number of stands, rules (and possibly even relevant page data) into the epicEA existing battlescribe file from this thread, mostly as an exercise in how to use battlescribe and secondly as an exercise in understanding the different units

the online editors are great, but battlescribe works really well on tablet and mobile

I think I'll do the codex marines first and see what people think, the ultimate aim would be to have the completeness of Adams builder with unit stats, stand numbers and page references

I suppose the real question should be if anyone else thinks it would be useful?

I've included a screenshot of the new output for a tactical detatchment

What is the list builder that is being discussed? Army Builder (Lone Wold Developments), BattleScribe, or ArmyForge?

How other than the actial army forge website "report a bug" option, do I report somethings that are not working with the list on ArmyForge list (not allowing commissars error says nax[0], not allowing 1 mortar company every 3000 points error says max [0], not allowing support drop sentinels 1 every 1000 points error says max [0] and the list also has the prices set incorrectly, as the final version of the list version 1.2.
