Army Builder V3.2
The main program I use to construct and make hypothetical lists for almost every game system I play is Army Builder. Its a wonderful program that allows you to compose and store all the lists you will ever need. The Current Version is 3.1 which does work great, but a new version is on the way. Some of the major updates I am looking for are moble friendly files, A user interface designed for a monitor bigger then 15", and PDF rosters. Below is the official update list.
New Features & Changes
Save rosters to PDF - Email PDF rosters to tournament organizers or friends, to print out exactly like normal Army Builder printed output.
Model list output - View the combined model list for your roster, including how many individual models of each type are required, and the equipment they need. Turn your roster into a "what-to-pack list" with a single click!
Mobile friendly output - Save your roster to a "mobile friendly" output format, for viewing on your iPhone or other mobile device. Touch a unit name and it expands, displaying all the unit details - touch it again to hide it. Unit options can also be displayed with a single touch.
Updated user interface - We've updated the user interface to take advantage of the larger monitors more prevalent today. Army Builder 3.2 is now optimized for viewing on a 1024x768 monitor, while gracefully scaling up and down to higher or lower resolutions as needed.
Do more work with fewer clicks - The "New Roster" form, the starting page for all new armies, has been overhauled to make it easier to configure your roster. Choose a race or a predefined points cost with a single click. Ruleset information to configure your roster is displayed right there on the form.
Better notification of updates - Army Builder 3.2 informs you of updates on the "Select Game System" screen, so you can be instantly informed about new data file updates.
Added flexibility for common tasks - The Options list now displays every option in a tree structure, allowing you access to more options with fewer clicks. Any categories you're not interested in can simply be collapsed and ignored.
More information at your fingertips - Army Builder 3.2 gives you more information about your choices in several ways:
Composition group info windows now display the minimum / maximum counts for each category.
In the options list, right-clicking on an invalid option explains why it's invalid.
Validation errors can now include more descriptive error messages.
New interface design - Many buttons and other areas of the interface have been redesigned for a more modern, cleaner look and feel.
New features for data file authors - Many common tasks for data file authors have been improved, reducing the workload for data file authors. Army Builder 3.2 also catches more common errors, resulting in quicker debugging time, and higher quality data files for the user.
All this and more - Many other minor improvements are included, including validation icons at the top of printed output, improved text summary and BBCode output, optimized HTML generation, and more!

Roster of Choice - 1500pts
Salamanders Rapid Strike Force!
Below is a Roster I have been using lately, and have worked out very well.
I am still undecided what is better on the captain, +2 Armor or +3 invul save. It does lack long range vehicle suppression, but I have enough fast meltas to close the lines fast enough. My old force was no bikers, with 2 tac squads and a sternguard unit with Liberian, which was hard to close the lines at times

Roster of Choice - 1107 pts
Salamander Forward Recon Force!
I will be participating in a local tradition called Golden Marine, otherwise known as the gentle mans tournament. The tournament requirements are 1 HQ + 1 troop, painted army, 1107 pts, and a bag of fun!
I designed the following list to be friendly, fun to play against, fun to play and brings all the tools to the party!. I also did not want to be the only one removing models from the table! I avoided +2 armor saves, invul saves, special characters, and AV14 which some armies have problems dealing with.
