The past tense of "smite" is "smote". Sigmar was in no way smitten with those sinning in his name. —Preceding

I was passing through and found a possible error. I think I fixed it but cannot verify. Marianna Chevaux was not from 2002 annual, but I think town crier #22. —Preceding

No, GW has made these lists, so they are part of the game, the unofficial basically means that they cannot be played in tournaments.

Agreed, they are material GW has provided for the game, and still generally valid, regardless of tournament status. Commonly used fan-made warbands should remain included too, as they are part of the game as defined by the community at large.

Unofficial warbands are OK as they have been published by GW but I do think that "Experimental" warbands should be removed as quality may vary. Perhaps experimental warbands should be listed with Mordheim grading system

The poll in question is quite pivotal and has been informally quoted by official GW rules trustees. Also, as I recall the basis of that poll was quite large. —Preceding

You are right the poll is not a *forum post* it's a *forum thread* which is comprised of *forum posts* which are negligible under
WP:SPS. Aside from that how is it pivotal when this 'poll' was conducted 4 years after the last official book? --

The point is that this poll is a survey of a large portion of the online Mordheimers of the time. This is not just one guy posting his opinion in a forum or a Website. For that reason I don't think it falls under
WP:SPS. Wiki tries to display the truth by having as many people editing/giving their opinions; just like that forum poll. No it's not always true or correct. Here is a
More Recent Poll done in a smaller Mordheim Community specifically about Skaven. To try to get past these opinions: does anyone have access to the results of Mordheim Tournaments? That should give you a pretty solid stat of which warbands are the most powerful.

I really think this is an area where WIKI guidelines are interpreted too strictly in regards to the subject matter. I understand the need to have reliable references in a scientific discussion where the views are many and the periodicals etc. reflect that. This is not the case with Warhammer or Mordheim so lets face it: When 50 players give their critical opinions of the game, this is as good a critical source that you are going to get. —Preceding

Furthermore, to illustrate the absurdities of WIKI guidelines in this matter, at least, consider the fact that if a player were to write in the LOD-E-Zine: "We all know the poll that made yielded Skaven a 86% vote of "Overpowered"..." - THEN it would be a go-ahead by the WIKI-guidelines. Which is kind of upside-down.

The survey itself is flawed, I'm sure the ex-governor of Florida would be jealous of this poll. Participates of the survey that haven't had experience with all the warbands unfairly weight the warbands that they have played/have experience with because they give the remaining a 0 rating, the resulting bloat devastates any chance at an accurate reporting. --

Please explain that point again. - Though maybe we can compromise: We could list the verifiable fact that Skaven is the ONLY warband in the book with six starting heroes (= more income) and with a warband max of 20 (= higher threshold for rout tests = more wins = more XP & more income). - Nexusman if you play Mordheim yourself I'm sure you'll recognize that Skaven are overpowered. Maybe you belong to the faction of player who thinks that Skaven are overpowered but that they can still be played as-is. The point for me in this article isn't to push for anything in particular but rather to provide that essential piece of information.

Article has been
stubified. It was completely unsourced and contained a number of
copyright violations. Reinserting copyright violations will result in preventative measures being taken by uninvolved admins. Please also read
wikipedia's policy on verification only sourced information is usable on wikipedia, and we require a specific kind of source - third party published
reliable sources. Blogs and forums don't cut it. Also lists of things are not appropriate. Information needs to recorded as prose. Furthermore there is an issue with this page being used as as a place for
forked information from or relating to a deleted criticism section from the
Games Workshop article. This kind of "forking" is against wikipedia's rules and should be avoided.
Liking this
version of the page is not good enough - this page MUST reflect this site's policies--

Article has been repeatedly vandalised
by the 'sysop' Cailil to the point that it may as well not exist. I had to go back through the version history to find out anything about the game. The whole of Wikipedia feels like it's on its last legs since idiots like him have been gutting articles because 'the rules' say articles should be stripped down to uselessness or only allowing the viewpoints of the 'in crowd'. Just delete the article. Just delete Wikipedia. — Preceding
