Who is the best race?

[The adventures of Lyonic!]

Personally I believe that dwarfs are just more superior than everyone else because of their ranged units and front-line resilience.

What do you think is the best race?

[Verchial]

Chaos & Beastmen.

Plus they look cool.

Best race is Empire, followed by Skaven and Kislev.
High and Wood Elves are also very good.

Most flavourful races are Skaven, Khorne and Vampire Coast, by far, however.

Why are people still asking when there are orks? It is universally accepted that they are da best and anyone doubting it is just far on the krumpin' list

Too bad Dwarfs also have the glaring weakness of being outmanuvered by practically everyone else. Good luck winning fights without corner camping.

My pick would be High Elves purely due to their massive amount of units that can be used for all sorts of situations. They have a fairly solid infantry for holding the line and shooting, skirmishers and close combat damage dealers, cavalry and chariots for when you need speed, flying single entity monsters with one subfaction having tanky ground monsters, access to all eight winds.

Really, their only real battlefield weakness is very limited artillery.

Thats silly. Everybody knows Gork is mightier than Mork.

Orcs.
There are no "Orks" in Fantasy.

And no, they are not even very strong, much less close to anything "best".

Yes, but Gork was an Ork from Mork.

[Witski]

Brettonia.

It's funny but greenskins have better artillery and frontline than dwarfs.

Sisters of Avelorn and Fire Mages are their lategame Artillery, and both do the job very well.
High Elves are the one race that really has all bases covered. All they are really missing is the Lothern Skycutter, which would give them Flying Artillery.

In op's defense he did ask for "The Best", Grimgor is obviously da best in all regards but I'm sure he's generous enough to let the literate races have their own tiers... assuming of course that they put up a decent fight every once in a while.

And if you are talking about strength in campaign in player hands that's
1. Counts
2. Gobbos
3. Bretonnia
4. Maybe Oxyotl
All others are much inferior although I haven't tried game 3 factions yet which are incomplete IMO.

Game 3 factions are some of the most complete, in the whole game.

Lizardmen, obviously. Dinosaurs > everything else

That would made Tzeentch better than Lizardmen since they have magic dinosaur. Unless magic is really for the weaks
