With the release of the Battlescroll: Galletian Reinforcements I’ve been able to go back through the data from the release of the General’s Handbook and tidy everything up. In doing so, I though it may be cool to give you a run-down of how each faction performed under the current General’s Handbook until the Battlescroll took effect.
The data used for analysing these results was taken from 110 Grand Tournaments between 3rd July 2022 and 6th November 2022.
Beasts of Chaos
Region Comparison – Popularity
Blades of Khorne saw their highest popularity in Oceania with 4.9% of players choosing the faction for tournament play, while at the opposite end of the world the uptake was only 1.3% in Scandinavia.
Region Comparison – Win Rates
Their popularity in Oceania transferred to their regional win rates as well with 52.5%. While players in Europe could only manage 37.3%.
Scandinavia was the location of the Blades of Khorne only 5-0 result piloted by Eirik Hilbom.
Subfaction Analysis
| Subfaction | Players | Win Rate |

| Baleful Lords | 6 | 51.67% |
| Reapers of Vengeance | 73 | 50.56% |
| Bloodlords | 2 | 50.00% |
| Flayed | 2 | 30.00% |

Although Goretide appears to have the most successful win rate, they were by far not the most popular faction, with the vast majority of players choosing Reapers of Vengeance as their go to.
Top 10 Blades of Khorne Players
You may notice that some players have a better World/Nation ranking than players above them in this table. This is due to players playing with multiple factions. These players have been ranked on their top 4 Beasts of Chaos results only.
