by way of explaination:
I have never played Mordheim or Warhammer before
I took my list building ques from the original warband that Koyote posted, which has 5 ranged weapons
Then because skaven are generally considered a weaker race and I suck at Mordheim I added one more
I never intended to have more than 6 slings
When slings were talked about I was the only guy taking slings, so it seemed like everyone was talking about me
Skaven don't have access to bows of any flavor or I would have taken those to avoid the drama
warning wall of text incoming...
Until Gareth came along I was the main guy doing any competitive war gaming and I came from a store with a dirty dirty meta, so some of this is a bed of my own making. I feel that I have made good strides in putting that behind me, but I also feel that I have been labeled into a WAAC gamer. There is a pervasive Warhamster Meta, which I don't prescribe too. It's not the way I game, I find the median you guys find very difficult. I am either super themed and just lose my ass or too competitive and it's 'oh Loren again'. I do things in games where I have taken too much power to bring things back into equilibrium and then I totally get punished for it. Warhamsters say that they don't bring power lists, but I disagree. Warhamsters just do it differently than I do. I don't feel like the warhamsters have room for my style of gaming, which is fine, but damn it's hard to be part of the group at times.
