[B-Greek] Future Tense Help

Dear B-Greek,

I've been studying Greek for 4-5 months now and am working my way through 
Dobson's Learn NT Greek (I'm on chapter 26 of 52). I've reached future 
tenses ("I will/will not") and I'm stumped. It seems that verb stems can be 
very irregular when it comes to the future (different stems entirely as well 
as shortened). Do I just have to learn each verb's variation as it comes up?

The only other grammar book I have is Wallace's Beyond the Basics but that 
doesn't help (I bought it for when I've completed Dobson and I start on 
Mounce's Graded Reader).

Any advice on tackling future tenses would be gratefully appreciated!
