Been Around the Block

A friend of mine came up with a spreadsheet on his laptop so I copied his on my own for a while, but I grew to not like it over time. I revamped it to my own style, making room to have all my stats and rules listed. It really limits how much time I spend looking up my own rules and speeds games along nicely.

With a calculator. I take out what I need from my army box, tally that up, remove extras, then *poof* an army with the correct amount of points.

I agree. Its irritating when people make paper lists. I swear most of them have little integrity.
However, Army Builder is often wrong as well. You opponent should let you check his list.

Its hard to be awesome, when your playing with little plastic men. 
Welcome to Fantasy 40k
If you think your important, in the great scheme of things. Do the water test.
Put your hands in a bucket of warm water,
then pull them out fast. The size of the hole shows how important you are.
I think we should roll some dice, to see if we should roll some dice, To decide if all this dice rolling is good for the game.

I have army builder, but i find i use the pen and paper route way more. I usually get the math spot on with MEQ, but for other armies that arent made up of 5s and 10s army builder takes the headache of fiddling out of it for me

Pen and paper. Tried out The Forge after reading through the posts.
Took a few for me to figure it out. I started a test list and went to print preview....very disappointed with how it had my upgrades scattered everywhere and the fact that when it showed each character, it listed every possible upgrade.
I added a pred and it had my lord upgrades on it><
Any way to get The Forge NOT to do this?
pm me with info please.

Army Builder is awesome, but building a list on paper helps me to remember unit stats costs etc. I try to run my paper lists through Army Builder just make sure I did not screw up and buy something I'm not allowed.

Other; I use pen and paper then transfer it to a word document/notepad file for safe-keeping and forum posting. I also run it through the windows calculator to make sure.
If I write it on the computer, I transfer it to paper due to my lack of a printer.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Glory to the Twelfth! Glory to Angron!
"Because we couldn’t be trusted. The Emperor needed a weapon that would never obey its own desires before those of the Imperium. He needed a weapon that would never bite the hand that feeds. The World Eaters were not that weapon. We’ve all drawn blades purely for the sake of shedding blood, and we’ve all felt the exultation of winning a war that never even needed to happen. We are not the tame, reliable pets that the Emperor wanted. The Wolves obey, when we would not. The Wolves can be trusted, when we never could. They have a discipline we lack, because their passions are not aflame with the Butcher’s Nails buzzing in the back of their skulls. The Wolves will always come to heel when called. In that regard, it is a mystery why they name themselves wolves. They are tame, collared by the Emperor, obeying his every whim. But a wolf doesn’t behave that way. Only a dog does. That is why we are the Eaters of Worlds, and the War Hounds no longer."
—Captain Khârn of the World Eaters Legion's 8th Assault Company, from his unpublished treatise The Eighteen Legions |

Spreadsheet, as it allows me to sum up quickly and change things easily without having to recalculate. I can also set up 'points remaining' to know how much more I need to spend or if I can slot something in I know costs x amount.
It's more flexible than an army builder, and if there are any problems I can change it myself.
