QUARTERMASTERAttached to this post is a template file for the Quartermaster iOS app that will allow you to make army lists for the October 2013 release of the Dark Elf armybook. You will need the Quartermaster app and an iOS device to use the file. The app can be downloaded from the iTunes store at: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/quartermaster/id420899518?mt=8If you cannot access the file directly with your iPhone or iPad, you may need to download the file to your computer first, unzip it, and then email to an account that you can access with your iOS device. Access your email with your iOS device, tap the attachment, and choose "Open in Quartermaster." I was meticulous and I think I got everything right, but if you notice any errors in the template please let me know by PM or reply to this post so I can fix it. BATTLESCRIBEBattlescribe is a list-building app available for both iOS and Android. The app can be downloaded from the iTunes store at: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/battlescribe-mobile-pro/id541445896?mt=8If you are an Android user, the Battlescribe app is available here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.battlescribe.rostereditorA Dark Elves data file from user Damienhell can be found here: http://www.mediafire.com/?01yn6ec0lcwhn60And another courtesy of @DiscoQing on Twitter can be found here: https://t.co/fmYNMqN3FEand another from user Fade can be found here: http://catalogue.randomhit.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=329&p=2229#p2229Download + instructions for installation on Android/iOs/Windows are also posted there. ARMYBUILDERArmybuilder is the grandfather of army-building programs, and is available for both Windows and Mac desktop systems here: http://www.wolflair.com/index.php?context=army_builderAn Armybuilder file for the new Dark Elves is attached to this post. I do not use Armybuilder, so cannot vouch for its accuracy or completeness. It is also my understanding that this is a file for the 2.x version of Army Builder, but that there is now a 3.x version out, so this may not work for you.

Dyvim, for me I had to delete the .xml extension from the file to get it working.

Updated and switched out the file for one without the .xml extension. Others should be able to skip that step.

hm, can't get it working for some reason, sent it to my Gmail and it just opens up without asking me if I want to use quartermaster. Anyone know how to get around this? And cheers for the file/Work you've done Dyvim

Zarb -- Not sure what the issue could be. If you are accessing Gmail with your iPhone, it should not be a problem. If you downloaded the first version I posted, you would have first needed to get rid of the .xml file extension. If you didn't remove the file extension, then it wouldn't work. Newest version doesn't have that problem though.
Also, made a minor revision to correct an issue with magic standards on Executioners. There were two ways in the template to add a magic standard to the unit, and one of them had the wrong points limit. version is posted. You can either install the new file, or fix the template by deleting the "Magic Standard" item allowance in the Executioner entry. The old template will still allow you to add a magic standard (with the proper points limit) as an upgrade to a unit standard.

The current posted version does not have the .xml extension so you should be able to just re download it. Otherwise you need to save it to a computer and then rename the file on your computer.

The problem for me seems to be that I can't convince my computer it's not an xml-file (got some of the other templates lying about as well, they're QM-filetype). I'm not entirely sure how to get around that, renaming don't Work  edit: Aha! Got it working. Used Izip to download the file (tell the ipad to download, not use in QM, that didn't work). Open the file in Izip, rename it (seems to be an xml-file Dyvim) and then open with quartermaster (still in Izip). Worked for me, cheers Dyvim!

October 8, 2013, 5:30 EDT -- Uploaded a new version that should take care of a couple issues:
- Fixed points cost for Witch Elves - Was able to change file type so it is no longer .xml. Still had to be zipped to be posted to this site, but it should be easier to access and install on your iOS device.
@Warfrog -- Thanks for the link to the Battlescribe file. I edited the initial post to link to it.

Hey new to the site and just downloaded Battlescribe for my laptop. Can't get the 8th templates to copy onto my computer. Does anyone know if there has been an update for computers or just androids?

I've also been working on a Battlescribe template. Updated everything to the new book/rules. Need to add some more descriptions, but apart from that its as good as done. Posted on http://catalogue.randomhit.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=329&p=2229#p2229Download + instructions for installation on Android/iOs/Windows are also posted there. Feedback is welcome, not sure if my data file is different or worse/better then the others, but after a round of feedback I'm confident enough to post it to you, Druchii gentlemen

It's probably something i've overlooked or didn't quite understand of the how to install describtion but i would love some help getting it work on Battlescribe. I have an iphone 5 and i downloaden de zipfile, unpacked it and put it on dropbox. When i try to open the file on my iphone it says that there's no program on my phone that can actually open it. The only way i can find to make some templates work is when i put the webadres in the URL box and download it that way. Can somebody plz tell me what i'm overlooking or doing wrong? Thnx!!!

The zip file hosted here on this site is for Quartermaster, not Battlescribe.
If you have Battlescribe, you need to use one of the two links in the top post to get a Battlescribe template.
