The truly universal army creator for many games, such as WarHammer, Infinity (thx Kiblams :mrgreen: ) and such.
It's available in two versions:
Free (with wargaming-related ads, pretty acceptable as is, for PC and Android)
Paid (12$, 10 Euro afaik, some extra features in price)

But before it'll be usable, you'll need to download "repositories" (files with game armies indexes).
Here is the repositories list:

And here there is Infinity repository posted by Kiblams: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=1169

Why use this over the official army creator?

Because it's always good to have an alternative in case Infinity Army decides to play dead. And I don't trust it since it went online-only.

V mentioned Army could become offline capable, as they seem to be backtracing in the DB use. Maybe, it was just a comment.

And there is Aleph Toolbox... just need to figure how to install locally or "capture" it (and while at it, fix some of the "decoration noise"). No obvious instructions. And I would swear that time ago the page provided a clone command... now Google only offers an export to Github? WTF is going with open source systems?

Aleph Toolbox is not up to date, sadly.

Yeah, I figured how to "easily" clone the Mercurial repo (download the zip and unpack... *sigh*) and updates stopped last year. Commit messages are also useless. :dejected:

Google Code has stopped the service and only functions as archive now. Aleph is still worked on, not very fast it seems, but the code isnt available anymore. AFAIK the author didnt want to start with another code repository service after google code went down.
