I know GW is very protective of their intellectual property, so when I had considered creating a web application to create and print 40K army lists, I wondered if having drop-down menus to select armies, units, and display corresponding stats would get me in trouble. I was also curious if there was another common free web application that did the same thing that I seem to have missed.

I was considering a drop-down menu where you select army type, the maximum FOC is there in stat-blocks, and you pick on other drop-down menus on the corresponding branch of the FOC. Do you pick "Necrons," go to the Elite branch, and pick "Immortals," and immediately the stats are displayed. And on a sub-menu, you can pick wargear options.

I created that exact sort of thing for my own personal use, and it's pretty simply to make something like that using vb coding, or html; however having drop downs with all stats automatically popping up in the textboxes wouldn't be difficult, but it would require a good knowledge of all 40k, and all the wargear that can be equipped to it.

Also making your own program or web application takes quite a while, so you might need to have a lot of time on your hands.
