Warhammer Fantasy Battle

WARNING: This page is 100% opinion. All of this is gathered from what information I have read, experienced, and was told. None of it is official in any way to Games Workshop, so don't take any of this page in the wrong way but as one person's opinion.

What I did was rate each army in individual catagories that I felt were important to the Warhammer game, and then I combined them into an overall rank.

Remember. I only play 1 army. I do not know every single unit in every single army. I can only vouch for what I have seen... So I'm sure there will be a large margin of error in here. If you do not agree, then you can email me with what you think should be correct.

There you have it. I know I'm going to get alot of complains about every single one of these things. But what can I say, I'm biased towards the armies I like and it showed a bit in here. I took into account regiments for the most part in all of the catagories but Characters and Magic. Some things were close and just boiled down to one special rule that the particular army had. I'm sure this list will go through many changes as I get email and play more games versus more opponents. Also, email me with more catagories that you may feel are relavent to this list and rankings.
