GT Win Rates

September 2024 Battlescroll

These are still early days for the new battlescroll, however it seems to have had very little effect on the Nighthaunt win rates at first glance.

Faction Popularity (Broken Down by Player Elo Rating)

This is perhaps the most interesting chart to me personally. Here you can see the spread of the player skill levels for each faction according to our Elo rating system (updated each week in line with the stats).

The dark blue shows the really elite players of 700+ Elo. Interestingly, they don’t seem to give a damn about which faction is performing well in the meta and rely on their own skill (as they should!).

Elite and Rookie Players by Faction

The blue section shows the percentage of a factions players which have an Elo rating of 500 or greater. While the Orange shows the number of new players to the faction where they have yet to attend a tournament (based on our database history).

The aim of the above chart is to show how the lower rated players of between 300 and 399 elo are performing with the various factions. The figure in brackets denotes the number of games the data is based on.

Faction Popularity (Broken Down by Number of Wins)

The above chart breaks down the faction popularity by the number of wins each player achieved in the first 5 rounds of games at GT’s or GT+’s.

Number of GT Wins as Percentage

This chart shows the % breakdown for the number of wins players are achieving in the first 5 rounds at GT and GT+ events.

The Fabien Chart

Fabien Barbusse is a top player in the AoS scene and a member of the Woehammer Discord who is one of many who points out any mistakes in the charts before we publish them. He recently stated he felt the most valuable chart would be a version of the one above, which shows the % of 4+ win results in a 5 game event compared to the other results.

Positive Player Results

The below chart shows how many players as a % finished a GT or GT+ with a positive result (more wins than losses).

Consecutive Wins

This chart shows firstly the % of players with a negative result from 5 games at GT’s or GT+ in light blue for each faction.

Dark blue shows the percentage of players who achieved 5 wins from 5 in the first five rounds of a GT or GT+.

Orange shows the players who achieved four wins from the first four rounds of a GT or GT+ but were unable to achieve the full house and lost their round 5 match.

Grey shows the players who achieved three wins from three wins but were unable to win in their fourth round match.

Yellow shows all other players aside from those shown in the first three categories, who were able to achieve a positive result at a GT or GT+ i.e. 3 or more wins.

The light blue shows the percentage of players unable to achieve a positive result with the faction at a GT or GT+.

Manifestation Win Rates

This is a simple chart to show the manifestation win rates in GT games. The number in brackets denotes the number of games they were used in.

Drops Win %

Another slightly daft table to show the win rates based on the number of drops in a list.

Old World Woe-Grow: Dwarfs of Bhurali-Dwar – Part 4 (Grigor Makkson)

Dave, Ian, and I decided to start a slow grow campaign. Ian, who has just started out, wants to get some games in but wants to keep the growth at a slow pace (understandably so considering the cost of our toys).

We’ve now been joined by Joe, which brings our merry little band to four. Joe will be collecting the French.

The campaign will begin at 500 points each, then progress to 1,000 and 1,500 points. They’ll be 3 games each at each points level, with each playing the other once and then a Triumph & Treachery game to round off that points level. I’m sure we won’t at all be keeping track who wins what at each level…..

You can check out our first posts below if you want to get caught up:

I’ve recently finished the leader of my merry band, Grigor Makkson.

Grigor Makkson: The Wandering Runesmith of Karak-Dur

Name: Grigor Makkson

Background: Grigor Makkson hails from Karak Dur, a venerable hold renowned for its skilled artisans and Runemasters. Born into a family of miners and craftsmen, Grigor was drawn to the mystical power of runes from a young age. His innate talent and curiosity eventually earned him the apprenticeship of the esteemed Runesmith, Belgarir Stoneshine, who trained Grigor in the ancient arts of rune-carving, a skill passed down through Dwarven generations.

Under Belgarir’s guidance, Grigor developed a reputation for his meticulous skill, his patience, and his unyielding dedication to the craft. But unlike many Runesmiths who were content to stay within the hold, Grigor possessed a rare yearning for exploration and discovery. This adventurous spirit, uncommon among Dwarves and especially Runesmiths, often led him to volunteer for expeditions beyond the boundaries of Karak Dur.

Grigor has spent decades honing his craft, inscribing weapons and armour with powerful runes to protect his kin and strengthen the warriors of Karak Dur. However, his true passion lies in unearthing lost lore and discovering ancient holds long abandoned. His fascination with Dwarven history and the secrets hidden within the earth make him the perfect candidate for the task that now lies before him.

Beliefs: Grigor is a solemn, thoughtful Dwarf who rarely speaks more than necessary, preferring to observe and listen. His dedication to the Dwarven ancestors and his respect for tradition make him a figure of reverence among his peers. However, he has a more pragmatic view of tradition compared to other Dwarves. While he respects ancient customs, he is not above bending certain rules if it means achieving a greater purpose.

Grigor is deeply aware of the importance of his mission, not only to Fimbur Grimsson but to Dwarvenkind as a whole. The prospect of restoring Bhurali-Dwar and reclaiming the treasures of the past fills him with a sense of purpose. He feels a kinship with the long-departed Dwarves who once called the hold their home and is determined to honour their memory by bringing their legacy back to light.

Notable Deeds

The Exploration of Darkflame Hollow: Grigor led a small expedition to Darkflame Hollow, an ancient Dwarven mine corrupted by Chaos-tainted ores. With his runic expertise, he was able to cleanse certain areas and recover several relics that were thought lost forever. His success in Darkflame Hollow brought him the respect of Fimbur Grimsson and the trust needed to lead the Bhurali-Dwar mission.

The Purging of Skullcleave Tunnel: When Greenskin raiders took over Skullcleave Tunnel, a crucial trade route, Grigor was sent with a small force to drive them out. Using his knowledge of rune magic, he set traps throughout the tunnel, collapsing sections to trap the Greenskins and purging the invaders with minimal losses to his team.
