Well now I can give you the tool to answer the question. Listening to a recent Garagehammer episode they made mention of an online quiz that lets you determine which army best suits you. You can find it here
Now it is a little old - ok very old, it refers to Hordes of Chaos - but gives you the info you desire through a series of - often leading - questions.
Here is the result of my responses:
Chaos Dwarfs

The higher the %, the better suited they are to you.
Given that Chaos Dwarfs aren't a real book then the results are probably not too surprising. Still it points me in the direction of what I should collect next.

Post up what army it thinks you should collect.
I got high elves, the quiz is 50% right
ReplyDeleteThat's good!
DeleteTomb Kings...WTF?
ReplyDeleteSo Chaos Dwarfs are next off the rank for you?
Not a real book...but bloody high percentage 95%

Haha Sam! That will teach you to get that Bones Kickstarter! The Universe is telling you something!

You like Dwarfs far too much!
ReplyDeleteHordes of Chaos at 90% was my highest. Good to see I haven't changed much since I got my first box of Chaos Warriors all those years ago.
ReplyDeleteWood Elves at 10% where the lowest. You could probably make a comment on that and the amount of finesse usually present in my play I'm sure.
The spelling almost killed me but: -

Seems legit.
My top 3 were Lizardmen, Wood Elves and then Dark Elves. Bottom 3 were OnG, Hordes of Chaos and Ogres

Own three of those 4 armies so it seems about right. Ogres, CD, Empire and Bretonnia were the bottom and I've no desire to play any of those.

I can blame the dwarf result on them basically being the stunted growth version of the true Empire soldier.

and Tombking players.
All of which there are a 'lack' on in the NZ scene.
It would be interesting to know if those of you would have one of these in your top 5 actually own them?
I play both Woodies and Empire (my top 2). Woodies dont get a run competitively anymore (but if the ETC comp finds its way to NZ for an event I will look closely at the options).

DeleteNow I understand why Sam is attracted to me
Deleteif you cross dress at Masters, my marriage might be in trouble.
DeleteInteresting exercise. Has anyone noticed that the DoC have been left out? Vamps are probably the closest substitute in demeanor, and the reason why it features so high...In some ways my Warhammer armies are my alter egos. Love Druchii. I detest High Elves and Skaven. Like to build, paint and collect the VCs but dislike playing them.(Best for Mordheim) Tarpits w glass cannons Ugh.Not my style. For that very reason have ignored TK s

Umm so I've been playing with the wrong undead then
OK Pete, because you bugged me.....
ReplyDeleteTop 6 were funny;
85% Dwarves- born to be an axe-wielding cannoner I guess
75% Vampires- didn't expect this, I don't really sparkle that much
70% Bretonnia
65% Tomb Kings
60% Wood Elves
60% Dogs of War
Apart from Vampires it seems I have a prediliction for old, weak or just plain discontinued armies.....
Bottom three;
35% High Elves- Maybe this is why I suck with them
30% Chaos Dwarves
5% Skaven- Classic. Seems I'd rather play Warmahordes or gouge out my eyeballs than collect Skaven
So, I guess it's time to shelve the High Elves and get me some Bretonnians....

Genuinely surprised at how high I rated for the rest as well.
Adam Richards
Well I suppose it comes as no surprise.
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of middle of the road results probably because that middle button looked so inviting to a lot of the questions.
Nice to see some honour and chivalry still exists Adam, unlike Fern who appears to have a disdain for fighting honourably.
