WIth 8th being so new, right now if you're a good general, you can win with any army outside of wood elves, as I think they did get pretty hosed.

Funny thing is that I heard WE can still shoot people to pieces. A dwarf player said he lost 60 dwarves in one match against them.

Was he doing it wrong?

I agree..WE can still win. It WILL take a skilled player though to do so...

The gap between armies is pretty small as compared to 7th ed. Of course some armies will take more skill to win (WE for ex) BUT these armies CAN win. The new army books are of course more efficient points wise as the model costs have gone down vs 6th ed, but the 6th ed armies played to their strengths can still have a good showing.

So call me crazy but I think its still too early in 8th to say what armies are the best. The reason behind my thinking is that all books are currently from 7th edition still (Skaven and Beastmen have an edge being released with 8th in mind).

Unit we see what power level the new 8th edition books are at we can't really be sure. Hopefully nothing as drastic as the VC, DE and Daemons releases for 7th will happen. I really enjoy going into a game and knowing that I have good chance of either winning or losing (I enjoy close games unless its a tournament).

After 3 tourneys, none with comp...

Lizards with super slaan come in at 1.
Skaven with a Greyseer + doom bell, + Plague priest + plague furnage + 2 HPA a close second

Then miles down to everyone else.

Ogres are really struggling, and beastmen desperately need their book redone (which is truely sad) as they are pitiful baring minotaur unit and ghorgor and chariot spam.

From what I have seen ogers are doing quite well.

Yes they are.

mostly because the new rules just gave them a massive boost and people are still in the mindset that "ogres suck, this game will be easy hurr" and then they get roflstomped and are like "what just happened"
