"So What Army Are You Collecting"

We've possibly all heard that question before - certainly if we've ever been into a GW Hobby Centre.

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
95%

Skaven
90%

Orcs and Goblins
70%

Dogs of War
60%

Lizardmen
55%

The Empire
55%

Beasts of Chaos
55%

Dark Elves
55%

Tomb Kings
45%

Wood Elves
45%

Bretonnia
45%

Vampire Counts
45%

Hordes of Chaos
35%

Ogre Kingdoms
25%

Dwarfs
20%


High elves
20%

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.

  2. Tomb Kings...WTF?

    So Chaos Dwarfs are next off the rank for you?

  4. Hordes 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.

    Wood 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.

  5. The spelling almost killed me but: -

    Tomb Kings
    90%
    High elves
    65%
    Dwarfs
    60%

    Seems legit.

  8. TK 90%
    Weeds 90%
    High Elves 70%
    Lizardmen 70%
    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.

  12. ....it's like it knows me...

    Empire 80% (I guess modern Empire is a wee different to the old days!)
    Woodies 80%
    Brets 60%
    Dwarfs 55% (gross)
    Tombkings 50%

    OnG 30%
    Lizards 30%
    Hordes of Chaos 15%

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

  15. It seems like there is a lot of closet
    Vampire
    Wood Elf
    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?

    1. 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).

  18. Interesting 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

    Chaos Dwarfs - Ok we can ignore that one
    100%
    Vampire Counts - Can substitute DoC here methinks
    90%
    Dark Elves - Yea Baby!
    90%

    Skaven - Just the evil seeping through here
    75%
    High elves - Just got the wrong side of the coin. DARK Elves
    75%
    Lizardmen - Yea, but my son's taken them over
    65%

    Orcs and Goblins - gettin a bit tired of these- my first army

    Umm so I've been playing with the wrong undead then

    ReplyDelete
  23. OK Pete, because you bugged me.....

    Top 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....

  26. Well I suppose it comes as no surprise.
    I 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.

    1. Yep, the middle button was hard to resist at times. I found the question: Are you normal?; in interesting one. Does it imply that to be a hobbyist a person needs to be one or the other? *chuckle*

      I am surprised you only rated 55% for the greenskins though Neil.
