Phil pointed out to me that the Facebook Warhammer Historical page has a shedload of useful files to download including a monster army list thing covering everything and ironing out all the kinks between various editions and army books. That right Phil? Haven’t had a chance to look at it yet but worth getting hold of for participants in the campaign.
As for me, it’s been bonkers since Stuart Asquith’s funeral but I’m currently wrangling heffalumps.
Yes indeed. It's a PDF taken from the old WAB forum. Basically, it's got WAB army lists for every one of the old WRG 6th edition armies, numbered just like those WRG army list volumes that old gits like me know so well.
I have limited experience of WAB, but as I understand it, playing between different supplements can be tricky.

Broadly supplements from the same sort of Era work ok together so....'Shieldwall', 'Beyond the Golden Gate' and to an extent 'Age of Arthur' and 'Fall of the West' work fine together. As I think I said earlier in the thread, Knightly armies will slaughter Biblical period armies in most cases.
It is quite balanced on the whole though, and for the purposes of this forum project the lower points values of earlier period troops are probably a big enough offset.
Although there are some 'hero' hammer armies which are best avoided if you want to keep any opponents ie. Samurai

Except some of us don't use Facebook for substantive reasons.

If you have need of an army which is out of the ordinary, give me a shout as I may have a non-official list! But i'm also sure the chaps who are on FB will be happy to pass on anything you need. I haven't played WAB for about ten years now so I am rusty but remembering things i've got stashed thanks to this discussion

Been 10 years plus since I played too. Mainly used shieldwall (and loved it). Looking forward to playing again. Anyone based near the midlands where we an organise some games?

I have the pdf they are talking about. PM me an email if you want a copy.
I'm feeling pretty smug after adding up the points value of the figures I have painted for my Steppe Horde. Between 1100pts and 1250pts depending on command options taken
