The below stats are still based on the new General’s Handbook with data up to the 24th July 2022.
Win Rate
The Daughters of Khaine appear to be in a healthy position at present which at first glance seems to be a nicely balanced book. With an overall win rate of 50.9% it’ll be interesting to see if this changes over the coming weeks. Zainthar Kai, Khailebron and Hagg Nar all seem to be competitive with win rates of just over 50%. Although not ideal 45.0% sees Draichi Ganeth just inside the balanced win rate zone (45-55%). Both Draichi Ganeth and Khailebron are based on small sample sizes however and these are likely to fluctuate.

Brett: Morathi and Gotrek together feels wrong somehow, like shouldn’t Gotrek be after Morathi. Not in this army though, they’ve worked together to go 5/0 and take the event. Elves are fragile and die easily – not this army, that’s 1165 points of the nigh on impossible to kill. We saw a lot of Gotrek early in 3rd edition but he has faded as people have learnt to play around his slow movement. Including him here is a great idea because your opponent really wants to get at the Shadow Queen. You really need to be in combat with her to max your wounds against her. She only takes 3 a turn, so you need to be able to shoot or attack her in your turn and fight back in her players turn to get more than 3 wounds a round. Now you have to go through Gotrek.
Until you kill the Shadow Queen you can’t kill Morathi who is both casting spells and working as a blender in combat. A 3 cast wizard with a special command to make a unit shoot or fight in the hero phase (it’s eligible to fight again in the shooting or fight phases). She knows the full spell lore, includes a mortal wound and has 3 casts. All up the army has 4 casts and 4 unbinds available. The Bloodwrack Medusa has Zealous Orator for a boosted rally (models return on a 4+), Shadow Stone for +1 to cast and is casting Mindrazor (additional rend and +1 damage to a unit within 18). On the Blood Sisters that adds to 46 attacks on 3s with -2 rend and potentially 3 damage (into Galletian Veterans). The Medusa brings an interesting ability to advance the Blood Rites table for a single unit and her warscroll spell debuffs an opponents wounding rolls.

Brett: Another solid showing for Daughters of Khaine (DoK) here with one of the alternate builds eschewing Morathi to put more units on the board. Only losing in the 4th round to the eventual winner we see some of the depth of the new book. However not having the Shadow Queen may have let the KO dominate a bit too much as they can stand off and shoot anything in this list. Lots of mobility with the Khinerai and a lot of board control, at least at the mid board, with the Blood Stalkers to screen the Blood Sisters. A good all round list that, with only a little bit of luck could be expected to go 4/1 or even 5/0 consistently as we are accustomed to.
Performance Against Other Factions
At present Maggotkin of Nurgle and Soulblight Gravelords struggle against the Daughters of Khaine. While they themselves appear to be struggling against Seraphon and Fyreslayers.
