Helo again everyone

So i use army builder, and i find myself lost sometimes. where it shows how many attaks you get.... dose the first number show your base attacks and the second number show how many attacks on the charge? And if you have extra attacks ( like having 2 cqc weapons, dose it show the numbers for that? ) Thanks everyone

I do not own Army Builder, but a very easy way to verify, would be to compare with the codex.

Use your own codex and wordpad or something. Armybuilder isn't always 100% correct. That way, you are always right.

For my death cult assassin attacks, it shows "2/3" in Armybuilder. This represents the 2 base attacks plus the extra attack (2+1=3) due to the fact that DCAs have 2 power weapons. The extra attack received for initiating an assault is not represented in Armybuilder.

^ This.

The A profile NEVER includes the extra attack for charging.

If a number is in parentheses then it means it is the adjusted value after taking wargear into account (like two cc weapons).

As others have said, it's taking into account any bonuses from wargear, NOT for assaulting.

As for not using AB because it isn't 100% correct, the same could be said for using a pen and paper - everyone makes mistakes. I can't tell you the number of times I've had to scribble out points values I'd written down wrong or had forgotten to update when I've changed some piece of wargear. That said, the best way to make any list, regardless of whether you use an army building program or not, is to double-check it in your codex; it should NEVER be used as a substitute for a codex.
