Army Builder custom Units?

[Blue in VT]

Howdy all,

When I had the opportunity to play a Remote game with DF and Weazil last year DF was kind enough to introduce me to Army Builder and I have found it to be EXTREMELY useful in getting armies together and games on the table. However...I have my own personal view of what I want MY own armies to look like and they don't necessarily fit with the unit descriptions/stats defined by the Warhammer Armies Book...which DF used to create the 3rd edition AB files.

So my question is...How do I make my own custom units for AB? Is it difficult? is there a walk-through on the Web somewhere?

Thanks!

Blue, ultimately I would like to implement WFB3, WA and RoC as separate AB files, allowing the user to choose which ruleset and restrictions to use. Currently, the AB files uses the WA restrictions which are based on 3000 point army lists. Having the complete WFB3 bestiary in AB without further restrictions, allows you to just point & click and create any combination possible. The units of course are not completely customisable, but based on the bestiaries of the books.

If you want customized stats, you need to make a branch of the current AB files and work from there. There's no walk-through, only help files which are supplied with AB. The best way to learn is to look at existing examples.
