NZ Rankings Updated

The NZ Rankings for Warhammer Fantasy and Warhammer 40k have been updated for Runefang VI and Auckland Open, respectively.

Warhammer Fantasy

There is a familiar name back atop the Fantasy Rankings but this is likely to be shortlived as HRV falls out within the next week. The most important icon "Best Skaven" has returned "home" after a year of wandering.

Sam Whitt moves higher and continues to accumulate icons - adding the "Best Chaos Dwarf" to his entourage. James "Kenny" Milner retains his tenuous grasp on "Best High Elf" but you've got to think that is shortlived with a new book inspiring many to want to be "Best Girly-Man".

Warhammer 40k

Charlie St. Clair remains all Charlton Heston over his #1 Ranking but the big news is that we have a new #2. Fresh from his 1st Place at the Auckland Open, David Wilson has catapulted over Mark Buttle.

Steve Davis has the Tau icon but for how long? Rumours abound that Charlie will be breaking out the Riptides soon.


Jack has amended the model so that events roll off on their 12 month anniversary date and the rankings update automatically. More functionality - including individual player pages - is planned for the university break.

    1. Best three results are included.

      Events are worth points based on numbers - 12 player = 72, 20 player = 80, 30 player = 90, 40+ player = 100 points. Prorated based on placing at the event.

      1st = Full Pts
      2nd = Full Points * n-1/n where n = #players
      3rd = Full Points * n-2/n and so on

      Max potential score is 300 points based on 1st at three 40+ player events

      Same for icons

  2. would it be too much to ask for Sam to spread the love around a bit, and stop hogging all the damn icons

    2. Congratulations of the Dwarf Icon Simon! Some very good tournament placings considering you have a hard army to get the big wins with.

      You're within 1 point of me in the rankings so I think our close battles will have to resume later on in the year when I can hopefully get some more tournaments in.

      My goal for this year is to try and break into the top 20. I want to try more special character "themed" lists in future now that tournaments are allowing them so hopefully I won't sabotage myself too badly :)

  3. Its best to retire at the top. My successors can battle over control of the NZ bandwagon. I have Australia to take over
