GT Win Rates

Firstly, all of these games have occurred since the July 2024 FAQ and have been part of a 2,000pt GT or GT+ event hosted on Best Coast Pairings, Stats & Ladders and Ecksen. Yes, we’re looking to add New Recruit and TourneyKeeper to this data as soon as we can.

Discounting the muster lists with a lower sample size shown in bold, we have seven over-performing and 5 under-performing. Four of the muster list that are overperforming belong to the Tomb Kings of Khemri and Kingdom of Bretonnia. Both of whom have been at the top of the pile since the release of Old World in January last year. While two are the legacy factions of Chaos Dwarfs and Vampire Counts.

At the other end of the table we have (as always) the Empire of Man, Skaven and Orc and Goblin Tribes. Though time till tell yet whether the Empire of Man Arcane Journal has given them the boost they need to climb the table a little.

As much as I’m a GW fanboy, the balancing of Old World leaves something to be desired. Here we’ll hear the pre-Old World players shout about how its not a tournament game etc etc etc. Even if it’s not a tournament game, the game should be balanced as much as possible for all players to have a fairly even shot at winning regardless of whether taking part in competitive play or friendly play. These win rated would suggest that the game itself is fairly unbalanced at present, and if newer players are picking up factions like the Orc and Goblin Tribes, it may put them off if they’re forever fighting an uphill battle against the likes of Tomb Kings of Khemri and the Kingdom of Bretonnia. At this point, the beta rules can’t come soon enough.

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 Age of Sigmar 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!). Neither to 600-699 rated players. Where we start to see the swell in players possibly chasing the factions with more favourable rules is in players rated less than 600 Elo.

Muster List 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.

This merely shows that Warrios of Chaos and Orc and Goblin Tribes are by the most popular factions in the game at present.

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 perfect split for each faction, if everything was perfectly balanced across factions would like:
