It's pronounced WEIRD stone, not WORD stone

[MeanBone]

Not sure how they managed to screw this up in the game. I just watched a video of the original Games Workshop tabletop game designer for Mordheim (Pirinen) and he pronounced it WEIRD stone. A huge problem? No. It is ... weird ... that they got it wrong, though.

Reading the lore in the manual you'd find out that It has many names. All factions name it differently depending on the benefit or malus they get from it.
To me what you hear is WARP not WORD.

Yes it is sometimes called warpstone. When it is called warpstone, it is spelled warpstone, not wyrdstone.

You mean to tell me I haven't been collecting bird stones this whole time? Dang, I must have migrated to the wrong city.

Yeah it has a lot of names. From the Fandom wiki:

Warpstone, also spelled warpstone and alternatively known as "wyrdstone," "seer stone," "blackstone," "foulstone," "witch stone," "mage gold," "god-stone" among the Skaven and Abn-i-khat, meaning "Burning Stone" in the language of ancient Nehekhara, and thengduraz in the Dwarfen tongue of Khazalid, is a bright, emerald-green crystalline substance that is actually the solidified form of pure Chaos energy condensed directly from the Aethyr.

When my Worriers collect weird stones, they often go into a Fantastical Zeal but some of them assume a party stance. Then theyx wonder whether Sigmar's Mother was called Mary.

No matter the answer, winter is coming, so make it so, Mr Crusher.
