I have all of the points calculation formula. Happy to help you develop a Dark Dwarf faction. I had hoped with Savage North to have Dwarves of the Plains that Disliked Mole Dwarves and were friendly to the Reven as fellow nomads and trading partners. Instead, we got another Dwarf faction but this one has runes.
Still interested in developing that Dark Dwarf faction?
I might be interested in adding this as a "bonus" or "unofficial" faction to the Warlord Unofficial Army Creator we have over on our gameworks domain if you would be interested.

Is there some reason this game (or the "math") wasn't built around the RAGE gaming system? ...just curious.

With the release of the Bones Legends line, is the goal to move all plastic to this line? Will we see more bones black or original bones? Just curious.
This is a great question that I would like to have a more comprehensive answer to as well.

Dark Skin Tones (09714) contains the following paint colors:
09040 - Dark Shadow
09041 - Dark Skin
09042 - Dark Highlight
There is rumor that some of the colors may be changing in a merger with Bones colors. That has not been officially confirmed by anyone that I know as of yet, and I have no idea if that really will take place. We will strive to keep the Reaper paint offerings available in a coherent and easy to navigate manner on our website. You can view the triad AND the individual colors that make up that triad at this web page: https://darkhorsehobbies.com/reaper-master-series-paint-msp-core-color-triads/master-series-paints-dark-skin-tones-triad-pack-12251.html
If you click an individual color link in the triad banner, you can return to the triad by clicking the "Click Here to Purchase these paints together" graphic to the right on the page below the MSP Core Colors logo on the description banner under the product images. Just look for a box with the three colors inside it for the link back to the triad.

It's late, I've been dealing with laggy internet all night and ready for bed, but I wanted to upload this file since I have not seen one (and my books aren't handy tonight), hopefully, it is the correct tactical logo for the Adon Confederation?

So far so good. Right now the following is hoped for/wished for in the future:
- getting an error message when I try to switch factions after already selecting one
- getting an error message when I try to print
- models that have cards but not miniatures are absent, which makes several factions unplayable and limits options of others
Very exciting all the same, especially for those of us who can't use the Force Builder program!
I just found this thread... maybe I knew about it and forgot about it. Anyway, I hope to have time this winter to finish this tool up, but I wanted to address this post since it was the first one.
- With regard to the faction switching - you should be able to do that now, but you MUST have created an account as the wordpress shell will not allow access to all the resources needed to do the switching.
- With regard to printing... well, that should be a weekend fix, and hopefully I'll get a weekend to do that before the end of the year.- As far as the models/cards UA, I should be able to work on that in between stuff, so hopefully before end of October or ThanksGiving anyway, all of the datacard should be available... [fingers crossed].

I like the theme so if you want to really explore the theme out turn one or even two of the yeti into wolves to add some reach to your army and harass the enemy with some long range swift attacks. Especially if you can work the flanks a bit and kill casters or archers bothering you.
if you don't mind humans as bait and fodder you could try something like this:
Icingstead - 500 points
Troop 1
Dorog Frostclaw, Yeti Chieftain
Oga Snowpelt, Yeti Shaman
Yeti Warrior
Winter Wolf x 2
Barbarian Spearthrower x 2
Barbarian Axeman
Troop 2
Ice Troll
Troop 3
Winter Wolf x 4This has the added advantage to getting more types of damage available in the same troop. Thus you have ranged, melee and magic damage to try and weaken larger targets before finishing them.
Sooo... trying to keep humans out of the army, what do you think about this change?
Icingstead - Monsters Doctrine
Troop 1 (317 pts)
Dorog Frostclaw, Yeti Chieftain
Oga Snowpelt, Yeti Shaman
Yeti Warrior x 2
Winter Wolf x 3
Troop 2 (90 pts)
Ice Troll
Troop 3 (96 pts)
Winter Wolf x 4
Troop 4 (-3 pts)
Albatross Amulet500 pts
Models: 12 DTs: 31 Cards: 3+0 Monsters Doctrine Savage North - page 80
Icy Veins All non-human models gain a +2 bonus on Poison Checks; enemy models do not gain the benefits of the Bloodlust SA when attacking them. Outrider Any non-human Captain or Elite model may be fielded as a Solo model. Monstrous Fighter Enemy models may not disengage from B2B with Large or Giant Base Size Icingstead models unless they are larger than the enemy Icingstead model. Models attacking with Swift Attack may disengage as normal. Roster output created Aug, 22 2019 by the Warlord 2nd Edition Unofficial Army Creator 2.0.1

UPDATE: Just a few simple enhancements that I hope folks will find useful...
1) Army "Quick Stats" are now functional for Models and Damage Tracks info in the builder page as you build your army. (Sorry, cards are proving to be a bit more of a challenge inside the builder than I originally thought, but I will get there.)2) The Roster has a new "Title" format... I liked the way Reinchard reworked the output on his posts, so I mimicked what he did by removing the points from the actual Roster Title and moving them to the stats line. The Roster Title format is now FACTION - ARMY-NAME - DOCTRINE (if selected). Also note, if you don't name the roster and have no doctrine selected, it will just display the FACTION NAME on the roster ouput.
3) Speaking of the Roster output - total army points, models, damage tracks and cards are now being displayed just below the troop section of the output.
4) A footer tag has been included at the bottom of the first page that tells you when you created the roster (I'll include the time if folks deem it important) along with the army creator version info.
I also had to make a minor change to the data cards included with the roster since adding the alternate model codes caused the card alignment to get distorted on some of the card because of the extra space taken up by the alt product codes.

I also had to make a minor change to the data cards included with the roster, and will probably need to do the same with the master data card display code, since adding the alternate model codes the card alignment gets distorted sometimes depending on the product code length.

"Model Data Cards" has been added to the Game Reference Menu... I'm open to suggestions on where to place the top fold Army Builder link that Spooktalker suggested?

I like the theme here and the wolves will work well with the shaman and the troll to keep the enemy occupied with their Monstrous Faction Doctrine while still providing line of sight. Some of your magic is going to have to be used by an ironskin spell if you are fighting anything with ranged because without any deflect or high DV long ranged fire is going to be devastating.
An army like this would be very dangerous to yours. I call it my reach out and touch somebody army.
Icingstead - 499 points
Troop 1
Svetlana, Frost Giant Princess
Familiar x 3
Nadezhda the White, Ice Witch
Oga Snowpelt, Yeti Shaman
Barbarian Spearthrower x 7Oh, nice mix there!
Any ideas on what I might change to address this without losing the focus of the army? -

UPDATE: Bug Fix! -- Apparently, there was a bug regarding Innate Spells that caused the output to be halted. I don't know how many people experienced this problem while building their armies because only ONE person reported it... And it took me a while to get some time to debug the issue.
Anyway, a HUGE apology to anyone this bug affected... All should be good now!

...I actually hunted around in the top menu pages before finding the army builder lower down back on the front page, so please consider also putting links to it and the data cards reference in the Game Reference menu.
Where would you like to see the Army Builder link appear?

UPDATE: Given the focus on Bones products in the Warlord line, I thought it might be helpful to start including the alternate product codes on the data cards (where they exist). Attached is a sample of the card - which simply adds the alternate product code after the original product code (see red arrows).
If anyone sees a problem with this approach, please let me know. My intention is to start adding BONES (or BONES BLACK) product codes to the database as alternate products. My assumption is that folks are interested in building their armies with cheaper bones products and I hope this eventually helps. (When I get all the alternate product codes entered.)
PS: These alternate codes will also start showing up in the datasheet for each faction - I'm coding those changes as I type this.

Will the individual bottles contained in the new Bones Monster Colors and Dungeon Colors paint sets be available individually - or will they just be available as a set?
Thanks!

There's now a real wishlist, so you shouldn't need to put stuff into your cart until you're ready to buy. To add product to the wishlist, press the heart icon.
Thanks for that... I have already setup lists that I hope will help with the issue - even though it seems to get "klunkier" as the various lists grow.

NOTE OF CAUTION: Folks, don't leave stuff in your cart for when you are ready to place the order, the cart appears to automagically dump its contents after a certain period time with an email saying...
Hey there. We wanted to remind you that you have some items in your shopping cart at Reapermini.com. In another day, we're going to be releasing those items back into our inventory."
...Since I was on vacation when the message arrived, I didn't get the message until AFTER it dumped the cart.
I used to put requests and special orders in the cart to make sure I did not forget them on my next order - now I will have to find another way to accomplish that task... Hopefully, I made notes on the ones that I just lost!-

Any idea when the newest 12 Bones ultra colors will be available individually instead of as a set only?
Thanks!

NOTICE!
I plan on moving the whole website currently hosting the unofficial Warlord Army Creator to a new server this coming week (August 12-17, 2018)The Unofficial Army Creator has been moved to a new (faster) server and upgraded to work with the latest versions of the core languages. You will also notice that everything within the site/tool is also now served securely. Ultimately everything is still the same functionally but the new home should support more simultaneous users without noticeable performance degradation and your logins are now handled securely.
Should anyone experience any problems, please PM me so that I can look into it for you.PS: I also want to apologize to folks about not finishing up the IMPORT feature... Life has just kept me too distracted to get that done.

Has anyone tried cutting the base of the larger figures into a tab to see how close that brings the "old school" and newer Troopers closer in perceived size?

So are you guys looking for an online force builder and data card search program similar to the one now online for Warlord?

Discontinued Metal Models
in Reaper's Product Lines
Posted
I only wish they would send retailers a list of what's going to be discontinued as soon as they make the decision, at least then if we feel the model is worth having stock of once they are gone, we have an opportunity to invest for those "OOP Sales". Of course this is counter to modern retail standards of operation, but I guess I'm a non-conformist, so if I have sales history on a given SKU that indicates my customer base has an interest, I'd like to grab a carton or two for those customers.
PS: As a retailer, I'm still trying to figure out what's going on with the paint line. 😖
