On the latest armybuilder, doenst it allow for a FOUR person bodyguard? Celestians are normally 5+ squads, I know that bodyguards often have one less in the retinue.

I may be misreading something in the codex, but the codex doesnt seem to allow this.

I dunno if I'm missing something or not, essentially I'm trying to place a Cannoness, preist, and a bodyguard of 4 celestians(2xmelta, Imagifer, and Superior) in an Immolator.

Is this possible or no? My codex doesnt seem to allow it, but I have a 1st printing codex. I seem to remember armybuilder allowing it. Tell me if I'm missing an FAQ/Errata/Updated print or something.

when it comes to discrepensies always default to the codex, Army builder is written by a third party and is subject to a number of inconsistancies.

I love the program but you do have to keep an eye on what it's allowing you to do. For example in AB you can make a 9 sister troop squad. 8 + superior, which the book clearly states as impossible.

When you find things like this there is a link under help about contacting the data file creator. no garuntees anything will come of it as i'm sure they get swamped but it's worth a shot.

Army builder isn't perfect... report it as a bug.

I had a nice chat with a rep from army builder at adepticon 2 years ago. He asked if I used the program, to which I said no. When he asked why not, my answer was too many holes.

From what I have seen, it has gone a lot in the right direction, just not there yet.
