It seems that the Army Book update for Dark Elves could be well overdue. 44% of all polsters were least concerned about beating them. I wonder if the same is true with Orcs and Goblins or it's just that people are more accustomed to playing against them (there are a lot of O&G armies out there but not so many Dark Elf ones in my experience).

It seems Brets remain the army people are most concerned about on the Battlefield. I suspect this is down to the massed cavalry charges which are difficult to survive and then counter.

Vampire Counts look like they're frightening a few enemies too. I suspect this is the release of the new book, surrounding "fear factor" hype and the lack of experience that commanders have fighting against the Vampires. I suspect High Elves are near the top for similar reasons and their always strike first (Asuryan skill).




which is the single most important profile stat in the game ?

T 55 (32%)
Ldr 37 (21%)
M 29 (16%)
S 22 (12%)
A 10 (5%)
W 9 (5%)
Ws 8 (4%)
Bs 1 (0%)
I 0 (0%)

Clearly, people think toughness is the overridingly important characteristic. Leadership and movement came 2nd and 3rd. Maybe then we should all emphasize the use of fast moving tough units with a good leadership in our armies.




Would you buy models from the eBay adverts on this site ?

If I really liked an auction 33 (62%)
no never 11 (20%)
of course 7 (13%)
I already have ! 2 (3%)

I put this one up for my own benefit and was pleased to see some people have already found this site useful for eBay Warhammer buying.
