Casters of Valhalla

you're spot on @Raider30 . The rankings are designed for 500 point, 24 space, double blind, tournament map, tournament glyph, and competitive scenes. But most of the power rankings, if not all, are very explicit about this limitation of assessment. An 'army' power ranking would be more useful if being used to create a competitive army within that framework as it eliminate the guesswork you have to do to assume what the 'best' army being used is.

It loses value, sometimes wildly so, when applying the myriad of point totals, maps, glyphs, figure limits, competition levels, and formats that are played. But it still directionally accurate, taken as a whole, when applying those other options.

BUT it is much simpler than creating an all inclusive army style list for each unit. It is directionally correct for the most part and it leads to interesting debate and discussion about heroscape units, which gets a from me.
