The bootstrap does not cover all of the blockchain. It is usually updated along with Core updates, as milestone hashes are hardcoded in. Downloading the bootstrap will only give you history up to a certain point in the past, the rest has to be downloaded straight by Core itself, and Armory can only display your up to date balance once you have an up to date copy of the blockchain locally.
Start BitcoinQt, let it finish downloading blocks. Once it is fully sync'ed, start Armory. It should be able to figure it out on its own. If it fails, do a rebuild and rescan.
Topic: Armory not recognizing that bitcoind is still catching up (Read 862 times)
I now have a new problem, Armory is reporting that it is online and connected, but that my balance is 0, which I know it is not. After opening bitcoin core, it says it is catching up, that it is 40 weeks behind in importing blocks from disk. Could this be caused by armory downloading the bootstrap but bitcoind not having fully integrated it yet? Once bitcoind catches up, will I need to rescan, rebuild and rescan, or redownload the entire blockchain from armory? I'm thinking that I will just need to rescan, or that I might not even have to, that once bitcoind gets up to the point I received my coins that it will show up in Armory.
Could use help.

Are your coins in a Bitcoin Qt wallet, or an Armory wallet? (you're right about your last point BTW, the blockchain downloads more or less in order, so if you're missing 40 weeks and you sent coins less than 40 weeks ago...)

Does it stay offline always? It might be a permissions issue on the blockchain folder... I've had a similar situation when migrating to Windows 10.
After not allowing armory to manage bitcoind itself and running it, it appears to be working.
It always gets stuck on 70% of "Initializing Bitcoin Engine" when I try to start it. How can I fix this?
