I love it. We are having a "vote"/discussion about the voting process!
I like the idea of not voting for every list, but just for your favorites. So I am going to have people list their top 5 in order. Every top list gets 5 pts, 2nd list gets 4 pts, etc down to a 5th place getting 1 pt. I will total it up and name the top 3 winners.
After my comparison chart below, I am going to list reasons why you should vote for each list based on a
TDG perspective, not from a power or a "what you like best" perspective. Of course, they are my opinions as a moderator so take them for what they are worth... but make your own decisions based on what you would like to test.
One of the primary reasons of the TDGs is to learn. All of the lists we use don't have to be uber-competitive to meet that goal! (For instance, the 1st TDG infantry-based list).
Anyway, without further ado, here is the comparison chart I came up with. If I made any mistakes, just let me know. The blue highlights are the lists that I deemed top in that area or really heavy in that category compared to the other lists.
Altdorf Elite- This list has a little bit of everything. Very balanced. I think it will perform well against all opponents.
Upside Down, Sideways- Also a balanced list, but with more troops. Vote for this one if you want to see a balanced list with no STank.
Griffony, Griffon of Griffoness (G3)- Holy Shooting Batman! Vote for this if you want to see the power of Empire's delay and defend gunline.
Faith, Steel, and Gunpower- Griffon in the center with Demis on the Wings. Backed by serious arty. Probably the nastiest list of the bunch!
Shadow of the Griffon- Only list with 2 Wizards, and 1 of 2 that uses Shadow, something we haven't done yet. Has something for every phase!
Talabheim 6- Has some units we haven't used yet like the Hurri and Outriders and the popular Inverted Formation.
The Lost Crusade- Has 2 troop blocks backed by 2 tanks and an HBVG! Also, lots of character support.
The Double Griffon- If one Griffon is good, two has got to be better, right? One Halb, one GS. Backed by a WAltar, Lum and Hurri these troops will be well-buffed!
Hold the Line!- Another double troop block but with lots of detachments. Lots of wounds to soak up damage and diverters to slow and manage the enemy's advance.
King of Pain- the 2nd list using Shadow. Lots of diverters, mobility and some cannon assets. A balanced list that will do well against all opponents.
Crusading Army of Sigmar- Lots of wounds on the table in this one! Has some new things we haven't explored with Fire, Huntsmen, and a Hurri.
Middenheim's Manly Men- Lots of toys in this one- Captasus, Demis, cannon, HBVG, and STank! All of this plus plenty of troops on the line.

After taking a moment to look at the graph and scan each listing on how the creator envisions the army to function, figure out what you want to see in this TDG.
Don't feel bashful in voting for your own list! You created it, you obviously want to see how the forum can make it work!
Here is how I want you to vote.
List them from your number one favorite to your fifth favorite. Give a short explanation of why you like the list and want to explore it in TDG 3.Example.
#1. Your favorite army. I like this the best because...
#2. Next favorite. Why you like it...
#3. Third favorite. Why you like it...
#4. Fourth favorite. Why you like it...
#5. Last favorite. Why you like it...
Once the voting slows down, I will tally them up. Even if you didn't submit a list, get in and vote! No teams for this TDG so anyone can post a vote at any time.
