Race-Specific Forum Populations

I was having a look at a few Warhammer race specific forums today and thought it was interesting to see the various "populations" in terms os membership numbers.


  • Druchii (Dark Elves) - 16.8k
  • Ulthuan (PEGs) - 15.6k
  • Herdstone (Beastmen) - 14.4k
  • Lustria Online (Skinks/Slaan) - 13.0k
  • Bugmans Brewery (Stunties) - 12.4k
  • Carpe Noctem (Vampire Counts) - 9.8k
  • Underempire (Skaven) - 8.0k
  • Chamber of the Everchosen (WoC) - 8.0k
  • Ogre Stronghold (OK) - 7.0k
  • Tomb Kings of Khemri (TK) - 3.6k
  • Daemonic Legions (DoC) - 3.4k
There was also Asrai (Wood Elves) but that seems to have died a death.


The numbers are quite interesting and I suspect are influenced by a number of things - popularity, longevity, general nature and helpfulness of the forum.


I was surprised by the numbers for the Herdstone which seems very popular despite no recent book and perceived general army popularity.


The only one that I generally frequent is The Underempire and that is infrequently. However I generally find them excellent from the hobby aspects especially conversions - as the populations are mostly enthusiasts.

    Hi Pete. You missed the Empire Forum: http://www.warhammer-empire.com/theforum/ 11.3K
    I frequent many of these, mostly Druchii and Empire. occasionally Carpe Noctem and Bugmans. My son has taken over (little usurper !) my Ogres, so less often there. I don't actually subscribe to any, but lurk regularly. I'm sure many others do too.

    DaWarpath is a pretty popular Orc and goblin forum. 7.5k.

    Herdstone is a really nice friendly forum because there has never been an influx of hardcore WAACers and associated twats coming in and ruining the vibe as the book is so shit. :-)

    The Tomb Kings of Khemri used to be a populous site, but then Sleboda killed it...
    I liken him to Nagash

      i once played vs Sleboda (there can only be one right?) and it is not a tale I tell willingly (or sober). Nice enough guy in person, he really is, but sucks the fun out of anything and everything to do with wargaming.

    The Ogre Stronghold suffers from a lack of recent updates in terms of tutorials and playing guides. Bugmans is excellent . Ulthuan benefits from community based activities. What about roundtable of Bretonnia

    Asrai.org (Wood Elves) hasn't died a death, it's still in fine health. We suffered a crash a couple of days ago though and are still in the process of fixing it, so the site's down at the moment.

    Which looks very high to me
