Warhammer and Ogre Abbreviations

(1/5) > >>

the executor:
I wasnt sure where to put this but i figured that it would be best put at the FAQs anyway as you can see from the title this is all about abbreviations because i havnt been on here that long and there are so many abbreviations for so many things it just gets confusing for new people so hopefully this will be a thread where people who are new to this site or to warhammer in general can come to understand some of the lingo so if you know any abbreviations or just different names for the same units please put them down here and what they mean so we can help the new players , because we were all there once :) thanks

so this i what we have so far:

OK = ogre kingdoms
BSB = battle standard bearer
GW = great weapon
IF = iron fist
IB = iron blaster
IG = iron guts
SM = slaughter master
LA = light armour
HA = heavy armour
BRB = big red book (fantasy rule book)
CR = combat resolution
AHW = additional hand weapon
FC = full command
ASL = always strike last
ASF = always strike first
MC = mourfang cavalry
LB = lead belcher
ST = sabretusk
TT = thunder tusk
SH = stone horn
MSU = multiple small units
MMU = multiple medium units
CC = close combat
kitties = sabretusks (or mourfangs depends on personal preference)
bulls = normal ogres (this was their name in the old book)
lotGM = lore of the great maw
static CR = combat resolution from bannrs , charges ect
LA = lore attribute
DE = dark elves
HE = high elves
WE = wood elves
WoC = warriors of chaos
butcher tax = the rule that if you take a butcher / slaughtermaster at least one must have the lore of the great maw
HH = hell heart

dawi / stunties = dwarfs
IMHO = in my humble opinion

AHW = additional hand weapon
FC = full command
ASL = always strikes last
ASF = always strikes first
MC = Mournfang cavalry
LB = leadbelcher
