    That's...strange. Apparently, it's not in the Tag Archive...at all. That's, just incredibly strange. I will say that there are definitely going to be some great builds that aren't making it in, after all, it's random choice but it should never have skipped making the introduction. 

     

    But yeah, Greenskin is definitely awesome. Would totally change my thoughts on the poll, or would complicate it a hell of a lot more if it'd made it in.

    For me it was on page five when I clicked on the Orsimer tag from the archives. Last build.

    I wasn't using the archives themselves, but the uh, one of the Google Sheets we used when re-tagging. That way I could sort builds by both Orsimer and Legendary, rather than needing to either scroll through all of the former or all of the latter. But yeah, going to have to re-evaluate that if all builds aren't in there, good for a quick look but going to need to take the extra steps to double check.

    Looks like the White Walker and Obliterator are pulling ahead. Interesting, because I'm gonne vote for neither. As much as I love both builds, there's something about Henson's Old Orc that just can't be beaten for me. It's a classic, and a trendsetter really. It might not include some details that are expected for modern builds, but it can't be denied that it's pretty awesome.

    I think the Old Orc was one of my first 20 or so builds. Actually, looking at the list (is it weird that I've still got it?) it was pretty much just be me browsing through Henson and Mason's work with a few other builds. Actually, I've also just got Henson's page (or at least his page on Ning) set up in that reading list. Man, that's pretty damn cool, he's the only builder that's in that list (as in, his page) which is pretty cool. 

    So yeah, Old Orc's got a lot of history for me, so does the Shaman King and The True Gourmet. That's what made this one so difficult for me, it was history versus what I just consider the 'best build' and for me, Zach delivered on so many levels there. But it was tough, it was kind of a situation where everything was nearly tied.

    Well, isn't that what the archives are for? To search for  builds?

    As to who gets my vote, I'm not sure now, I saw Orcs and was like yay Greenskin, but now that it's not there, I'm not sure. Probably the Gourmet because of the humor.

    I was thinking the same thing! There are a few Orc builds that I really like that didn't make the list, but I just assumed they didn't make the cut during the random selection process.

    Yeah, and don't forget that all builds can make it in later. Still have about 50 features left thus year which means 300 builds will get featured over 2018 . Got plenty of time to see most legendary builds show up.

    Oh, a three way tie is it? That's pretty awesome, with the White Walker, Obliterator and Old Orc all running at 3 votes at the moment. Come down and vote if you haven't' already, and if you have, well awesome :D

    Looks like we might end up with a tie-breaker poll at this rate, slowed down a little recently but 11 votes in just 4 days is pretty great, if anyone hasn't voted I highly recommend checking out each build, leaving a like and then voting :D
