WFB Battle Statistics (from ArmiesVs and Reckoning Pages)
- Warriors of Chaos are the most successful army, followed by Dark Elves and Ogres
- Orcs and Goblins and Beastmen prop up the foot of the table
- Special units are the most influential on the battlefield, followed by Core and then Custom Lords
- Infantry are by far the most important troop type (cavalry are way behind in 2nd place)
- Magic just trumps shooting as the most influential phase but neither are as important as combat
- Vampire Counts players are the luckiest, Bretonnians have the most fun while Skaven roll the worst dice and are also the gloomiest ! - possibly due to those dice rolls :-)
- High Elves are the most common foe, they most are most successful against Orcs and Goblins and are beaten most by Warriors of Chaos
- The Dwarfs are the only race that count shooting as their most important phase
- The Forces of Order have usurped Foces of Destruction in the eternal war (if the Forces of Destruction and Non-aligned armies joined a coalition then the war swing in their favour)
- Dwarfs and Orcs and Goblins are the most bitter rivals
- Ogre Kingdoms are the best in tournaments, Woodies have been replaced by Beastmen as the worst
- Order of Law is winning the current fantasy campaign, followed by Rebel Realms & Mercenaries
WFB Member Opinions (from Reckoning Pages and WFB Member Polls)
- Skaven, Warriors of Chaos and Dark Elves still have the most entries in the book of Grudges
- Lizardmen and Bretonnia are still by far the least resented by other players
- Lizardmen are the most wanted army closely followed by Ogre Kingdoms
- Skaven and Daemons of Chaos are the least wanted armies
- Dwarfs have been replaced by Warriors of Chaos as the most worshipped army
- Warriors of Chaos is by far the most feared army, while hardly anybody fears Tomb Kings
- Vampire Counts is the best army book, Orcs and Goblins are the most collected
- Warriors of Chaos and Skaven are believed to be the strongest armies, and poor old Wood Elves and Beastmen the still believed to be the weakest :-(
- High Elves is the most painted army, Skaven the least so (not surprising given all those slaves!)
