Warhammer and Ogre Abbreviations

original thread ↗

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
BoOP = brace of ogre pistols
OP = ogre pistol
OP = over powred
dawi / stunties = dwarfs
IMHO = in my humble opinion
GW = games workshop

Tusks and fangs!  I like this thread.  AFAIK it's a good idea for the OP to ask the forum VIP for their INP.  FYI when I say VIP it doesn't refer to IMPRT or NB MEM but rather to folks who has been internet peeps for a while.

SRY if this is a long post but IMHO I think this is a great idea, it definitly WFM and TYVM! :P ;)
There is only news.  There is no good or bad.

Also, IMHO = in my humble (not honest) opinion
GW also = games workshop

AFAIK - As far as I know
OP - original poster/over powered
VIP - Very important person/people

FYI - For your information

Your proficiency with textspeak is both impressive and a little alarming :?
Cavalry = Fast Food.

Oh! And

OK=Ogre Kingdoms of course!
Facing ogres is like facing an avalanche.

Can we get this stickied for easier reference for us noobs?
That would be useful as new players to the forum would actually be able to find it!  Quite agree.
Stay Frosty

If we can get a moderator or the overtyrant himself to stick it that would be great because I started this to help new players and if its hard to find then it of no use to anyone and Id gladly keep editing it
