Top Three AoS Lists for Macki Wojny GT3

Leave a comment

This is the top three AoS lists for Macki Wojny GT3 that took place in Poland on the 4th and 5th of August. It involved 70 players vying to be crowned champion in a 5-game tournament.

I found this tournament last minute, so I’m afraid there’s no commentary here, but I couldn’t resist sharing a Kruleboyz list as soon as I could (and one that isn’t Grinnin’ Blades or includes Gobsprakk).

Before I jump into the Top Three AoS Lists, I wanted to remind everyone of our friendly Discord server where you can join in the conversation with the Woehammer crew and suggest articles or series for the website.

Also if there’s a one day or two day tournament you’d like us to cover drop us a comment on this post and we’ll have a look at it for you.

Awright me ol’ muckers, it’s yer ol’ pal ‘Eadnokka ere wiv an update on da goin’s on in da Mortal Realms. More spefica… spe… spes… mostly abowt our ongoin campaign in Cratonia between all da Grand Alliances.

For dose who need catchin’ up, av’ a gander ‘ere.

It’s been a week of in game campaignin’ in Cratonia an so far, dere’s been four big bust ups. Da spikey Chaos ladz seem to be havin’ a great laugh wiv every battle they’ve had so far goin’ dere way. Dat Raybear bloke ‘as had no less dan three bust ups all in da space of a week! In fact, der ‘avin so much fun, two of dese mad ladz ‘ave started sendin’ sticks between ’em. I don’t get it pershunnally, but each to der own.

Da Order wankers, ‘av suffered a few losses, but den what do you expect from a load of stoopid aelves and dino boyz who’ve got no meat on dere bones?!

Da Dead dudes seem to be wanderin’ all ovva da place lookin’ for fights and den losing da ones dey do pick. At da moment two deadie armies are fightin’ against a load of dose mad corn demon things. While another dead dude is running from some dino dude, and the last dead dude is trying to fight sum trees an those fishy elves….

My boyz in destruction, dey dun gud dis week. Dey stomped on sum of dem Order wankers gud and proper. But some of me ol’ Ironjawz mates got stuck in sum city wiv Order Wankers and Chaos spikey dudes outside. Da Ironjawz did fink dey were dead clever by buildin’ sum extra defences, trouble woz, when the turd ‘it the fan, da Chaos dudes started fightin’ da Order Wankers an’ me ol’ muckers in da city couldn’t get out cos dey only gone an’ accidentally built a wall across da door. Da Ironjawz fellaz were dere for hours tryin’ to knock da door down to get out. Dey were hammerin’ away at it wiv de grots dey were locked up wiv. I mean akshually usin’ da grots to hammer da door. Wen dat didn’t work dey tried frowin’ sum from da walls. Wen dey did get out all da fightin’ woz over and da Nurgle rotty boyz were ready for ’em.

So wotz next ‘Eadnokka I ere’ youse ask?

Well, dere’s still um fightin’ ta go between da Order wankers and da dead boyz, and sum between da dead boyz and the Chaos spikey ladz. Once dat’s over we’ll get to sum more campaignin’!

AoS Meta Stats W/Ending 6th August 2023 – New GHB

Leave a comment

Menu

Disclaimer

The data contained inside this article is only Woehammer’s interpretation. There are differing methods and analyses of the data available from Games Workshop and Honest Wargamer, whose methodology differs slightly from our own.

All of these sources should be viewed as a collective whole to allow you to gather a larger picture of the Age of Sigmar meta. The win rates, while accurate for events we have on record so far, are likely to change in the coming weeks and shouldn’t be the single point of reference for a factions strength.

How Win Rates are Calculated

All of our data is pulled from two day single events. We split all draws between the wins and losses of a faction evenly, as we believe this provides a fair reflection of a factions win rate. For example, as a player, you may achieve 2 wins, 2 losses, and a draw at an event. Some sites will only count the wins towards the faction rate, so in this case, 40% (2/5=0.4). Woehammer includes half of the draws, so our result would be 50% (2.5/5=0.5).

We have also included a confidence interval based on the sample size and their results. This interval has a 95% confidence rate. What does this mean? Essentially, we’re 95% sure that the win rate of the faction will fall inside this band at the release of the next battlescroll.

We have decided to include this as each factions win rates can (and will) fluctuate as more and more players post their results. While the faction win rate may be that specified right now, it is more than likely to change in the future. So when looking at a win rate, take into account the number of players who have posted results, as well as the upper and lower limit of that 95% confidence interval. This will give a good indication of the future win rate of that faction.

Event Submission

If you have organised an event that doesn’t appear in our database and has the following minimum requirements to be included:

  • Two Day Event
  • Singles Event
  • Minimum of 8 players

Then why not complete the form attached and send the results to thewoehammer@gmail.com? We’ll include them the next time we produce the stats.

Faction Win Rates

As we have now included a confidence interval within our data based on the sample size and results, we have now included all factions within the below tables regardless of their player base.

Win Rates

You’ll see in the chart above that each faction shows its current win rate as a % inside a text box. The paler green and yellow segments show the margin of error of that win rate. We predict with 95% confidence that the win rate will be within the paler bars upon the release of the next battlescroll. The size of this segment is determined by the number of tournament entries using that faction, the spread of their win rates at competitions and finally how many weeks are estimated to be left until the next battlescroll update.

There are now six factions above the 55% win rate marker, with Daughters of Khaine currently the meta leaders with 59%. However, bear in mind that their sample size is small and this could be a few elite players outperforming the faction. Although two of these are continuing bullies from last time around.

Soulblight Gravelords appear to have stabilised at roughly 58%. These two factions are joined by Seraphon (58%), Big Waaagh! (57%), Ossiarch Bonereapers (56%) and the Sons of Behemat (56%).

Part of me does wonder if we’ll begin to see the Bonereapers fall, as their successful lists all seem to be centred around Katakros, Arkhan, Boneshaper, Immortis Guards and Kavalos Deathriders. I have a feeling once players adjust to this, they’ll begin to work out answers to the Bonereapers and their win rate will fall. Why not take a quick look at last weeks Top Performing Lists breakdown for Bonereapers while you’re at it?

Sylvaneth (43%), Cities of Sigmar (43%), Stormcast Eternals (41%), Ironjawz (40%) and Skaven (40%) are all below the acceptable tolerence level, and while the sample sizes for Cities and Ironjawz are low and therefore probably still subject to change going forwards, we can establish that Skaven, Stormcast and Sylvaneth are struggling this edition.

Using out old format of win rate reporting and removing factions with less than 20 results, we have the following table:

Subfaction Results

I often get requested for Subfaction results, so will start posting win rates for those subfactions who have exceeded a player representation of 20.

Player Results by Wins

This graph has at least two purposes. Firstly, it shows the faction popularity by the number of players, and secondly, it breaks down those players’ results in terms of the number of wins they achieve.

Here, we’ve included all the factions that have been played to date, as there is no benefit in removing those with a small sample size.

Soulblight Gravelords and Ossiarch Bonereapers seem to be the most popular factions right now, and with win rates of 58% it’s probably no surprise. They’re closely followed by the other two factions with the newest battletomes, Seraphon and Blades of Khorne.

Faction Popularity

With the recent release of the Seraphon tome, we’re seeing a large number of players jump to the order faction.

But while the Soulblight Gravelords are currently the most popular faction during this Battlescroll season, we’ve seen Blades of Khorne have had a resurgence in July, and this could be partly down to their anti-magic tech for the new GHB.

The full list month-by-month is below:

When looking at the above table, bear in mind that this is the worldwide meta, and region to region or even city to city may differ. So while this gives us a general idea of the meta worldwide it may not be representative of your local meta.

We’re seeing (as always) a massive spike in the player base of the new tomes that have been released and fall off on the older Tomes. This is to be expected really as competitive players jump around following the “Oooo shiny” method of collecting. They’ll likely always be a strong base for Stormcast Eternals, thanks to them appearing in nearly all beginner army sets, as magazine collections and the feature of many stories in Age of Sigmar.

Players Achieving 5-0 Wins, Tournaments in Winning Positions and 3 Wins from

Out of all the players using that faction (shown in brackets next to the faction name), this graph shows the number achieving a whitewash at a GT with 5 wins from 5. Those achieving 4 wins from 4 after the fourth round and those achieving 3 wins from 3 after the 3rd round. Take into account that those who achieve 5-0 are included in the numbers of 4 wins from 4 and 3 wins from 3. Likewise, those achieving 4 from 4 are included with the 3 from 3 data.

Results Split

This chart tells you which factions are more capable of achieving positive results at tournaments.

Conclusions

If you’re planning your list for a GT, look at the data as a whole. Don’t just look at our data either, look at TSN and also GW. Get a big picture, use these sites as sources to make your own informed opinion on the meta. Think about which armies are popular, as you’ll likely face at least one or two of these armies at some point during an event, especially in the earlier rounds.

Look at those factions that are regularly in a tournament winning position and winning GTs, as these are likely to be your opponents in the later rounds. I believe you should look at building a list that is able to cope with playing the following factions at some point in a GT if you’re looking to compete;

  • Blades of Khorne
  • Seraphon
  • Stormcast Eternals
  • Soulblight Gravelords
  • Gloomspite Gitz

But also, if you’re playing a local GT with your club, then bear in mind that meta may be completely different to those given in the stats above. All of what is presented here, should be taken with a pinch of salt, but hopefully it gives you some guidance when it comes to list construction, or even army choice if you’re looking to play Age of Sigmar.

Physical Books: the Modern Problem with Wargames

7 Comments
Advertisements

The internet is a wonderful thing ain’t it? But it has created a problem for modern wargames companies and their customers.

I got into this hobby back in 1993 with 2nd edition 40k (that probably gives you an idea of how ancient I am). Back then (like now) all the rules etc were included in the boxed set. Then periodically GW began to release Codices for the armies.

Once you had a codex, you had all the rules that you would need for the next few years (back then editions came every 6 years), and you wouldn’t need to refer to anything else. All you needed was in the rule book, your codex, and any campaign supplements you may have bought.

Fast forward 30 years (urgh!), and we still have the same system in place for most wargame systems. The need of a rulebook, an army book of some type, and perhaps some campaign supplements. Nearly all modern miniature and wargames companies follow this system. Warlord Games with Black Powder, Hail Caesar etc, GW with AoS and 40k and other lesser known companies like Saga by Firestorm Games.

Great!

Only the internet has now put a spanner in these works!

Let’s say I’m a new player, looking to get into competitive Age of Sigmar by Games Workshop. I trawl through different sites and reviews looking at which faction will suit me best and decide that Orruks are for me (I know, I know, but bear with me).

You go out and you buy the Battletome and enough minis that you have a 2,000 point army ready to go. You’ve joined a local club, you’ve found someone to play against and off you go, down the club to have your game.

You and your opponent talk through the armies you have and you go through all that jazz, only your opponent keeps saying that you’ve got certain faction rules wrong. You don’t understand, you’ve got the book, and it’s written down their in black and white in front of you.

Only your opponent says ‘Nah mate, there was an FAQ that changed the wording on that schizz!”.

You’ve just spent upwards of £30 on army book which can be described as little more than a paperweight. I’m being a little harsh here, but you get my point.

With the rise of the internet and our beloved wargames attempting to keep up, Games Workshop now track the progress of armies at competitive events and adjust the rules for each faction every three months (quite right too!). That beautiful book you bought, which, although it is the 3rd edition battletome, is now 2 years out of date. Along with the warscroll or data cards you purchased to go with them.

Ok, you have the special code thingy that allows you to get all the up to date rules on the app (if you pay for the subscription) but otherwise, your books a pretty piece of writing that tells you more about the lore of your faction than it does their rules.

But none of these wargame companies (that I know of at least) update the physical books you can buy off the shelves in your local store. So why bother? I understand that there’s an issue with being able to purchase PDF copies of the book and the ease of piracy that runs alongside that, but at least this way, it would be easier to update the books, right?

What’s the answer? I haven’t the foggiest. But I certainly don’t think it’s selling physical books to people who are unaware their army rules evolve as the months progress.Wh

AoS Meta Stats W/Ending 30th July 2023 – New GHB

Leave a comment

Menu

Disclaimer

The data contained inside this article is only Woehammer’s interpretation. There are differing methods and analyses of the data available from Games Workshop and Honest Wargamer, whose methodology differs slightly from our own.

All of these sources should be viewed as a collective whole to allow you to gather a larger picture of the Age of Sigmar meta. The win rates, while accurate for events we have on record so far, are likely to change in the coming weeks and shouldn’t be the single point of reference for a factions strength.

How Win Rates are Calculated

All of our data is pulled from two day single events. We split all draws between the wins and losses of a faction evenly, as we believe this provides a fair reflection of a factions win rate. For example, as a player, you may achieve 2 wins, 2 losses, and a draw at an event. Some sites will only count the wins towards the faction rate, so in this case, 40% (2/5=0.4). Woehammer includes half of the draws, so our result would be 50% (2.5/5=0.5).

We have also included a confidence interval based on the sample size and their results. This interval has a 95% confidence rate. What does this mean? Essentially, we’re 95% sure that the win rate of the faction will fall inside this band at the release of the next battlescroll.

We have decided to include this as each factions win rates can (and will) fluctuate as more and more players post their results. While the faction win rate may be that specified right now, it is more than likely to change in the future. So when looking at a win rate, take into account the number of players who have posted results, as well as the upper and lower limit of that 95% confidence interval. This will give a good indication of the future win rate of that faction.

Event Submission

If you have organised an event that doesn’t appear in our database and has the following minimum requirements to be included:

  • Two Day Event
  • Singles Event
  • Minimum of 8 players

Then why not complete the form attached and send the results to thewoehammer@gmail.com? We’ll include them the next time we produce the stats.

Faction Win Rates

As we have now included a confidence interval within our data based on the sample size and results, we have now included all factions within the below tables regardless of their player base.

Win Rates

You’ll see in the chart above that each faction shows its current win rate as a % inside a text box. The paler green and yellow segments show the margin of error of that win rate. We predict with 95% confidence that the win rate will be within the paler bars upon the release of the next battlescroll.

GW at first glance seem to have done a little better than the last quarter with only three factions currently over the 55% win rate. Although two of these are continuing bullies from last time around. Soulblight Gravelords and Ossiarch Bonereapers with 58%. They’re joined by the Sons of Behemat who have excellent anti-magic and are undergoing a resurgence in this new GHB, they currently sit with a hefty 56% win rate.

Part of me does wonder if we’ll begin to see the Bonereapers fall, as their successful lists all seem to be centred around Katakros, Arkhan, Boneshaper, Immortis Guards and Kavalos Deathriders. I have a feeling once players adjust to this, they’ll begin to work out answers to the Bonereapers and their win rate will fall. Why not take a quick look at last weeks Top Performing Lists breakdown for Bonereapers while you’re at it?

I’m sorry to say it was too good to be true…. my beloved Kruleboyz are falling back down the table from last weeks dizzying heights of 56%. They now sit with 50%, time will tell whether this will continue to fall.

Ironjawz (40%), Skaven (40%) and Stormcast (41%) all are approaching the sub 40% category. Skaven and Stormcast are unique however, while Ironjawz have limited warscrolls and tricks, the number of warscolls and abilities available to Skaven and Stormcast makes it easy to pick a bad warscroll or trick, without some serious knowledge of the two tomes it’s possibly easier to make an army that is not as efficient as other factions with a smaller warscroll selection.

Using out old format of win rate reporting and removing factions with less than 20 results, we have the following table:

Subfaction Results

I often get requested for Subfaction results, so will start posting win rates for those subfactions who have exceeded a player representation of 20.

Player Results by Wins

This graph has at least two purposes. Firstly, it shows the faction popularity by the number of players, and secondly, it breaks down those players’ results in terms of the number of wins they achieve.

Here, we’ve included all the factions that have been played to date, as there is no benefit in removing those with a small sample size.

Soulblight Gravelords and Ossiarch Bonereapers seem to be the most popular factions right now, and with win rates of 58% it’s probably no surprise. They’re closely followed by the other two factions with the newest battletomes, Seraphon and Blades of Khorne.

Faction Popularity

With the recent release of the Seraphon tome, we’re seeing a large number of players jump to the order faction.

But while the Soulblight Gravelords are currently the most popular faction during this Battlescroll season, we’ve seen Blades of Khorne have had a resurgence in July, and this could be partly down to their anti-magic tech for the new GHB.

The full list month-by-month is below:

When looking at the above table, bear in mind that this is the worldwide meta, and region to region or even city to city may differ. So while this gives us a general idea of the meta worldwide it may not be representative of your local meta.

We’re seeing (as always) a massive spike in the player base of the new tomes that have been released and fall off on the older Tomes. This is to be expected really as competitive players jump around following the “Oooo shiny” method of collecting. They’ll likely always be a strong base for Stormcast Eternals, thanks to them appearing in nearly all beginner army sets, as magazine collections and the feature of many stories in Age of Sigmar.

Players Achieving 5-0 Wins, Tournaments in Winning Positions and 3 Wins from

Out of all the players using that faction (shown in brackets next to the faction name), this graph shows the number achieving a whitewash at a GT with 5 wins from 5. Those achieving 4 wins from 4 after the fourth round and those achieving 3 wins from 3 after the 3rd round. Take into account that those who achieve 5-0 are included in the numbers of 4 wins from 4 and 3 wins from 3. Likewise, those achieving 4 from 4 are included with the 3 from 3 data.

Results Split

This chart tells you which factions are more capable of achieving positive results at tournaments.

Conclusions

If you’re planning your list for a GT, look at the data as a whole. Don’t just look at our data either, look at TSN and also GW. Get a big picture, use these.sites as sources to make your own informed opinion on the meta. Think about which armies are popular, as you’ll likely face at least one or two of these armies at some point during an event, especially in the earlier rounds.

Look at those factions that are regularly in a tournament winning position and winning GTs, as these are likely to be your opponents in the later rounds. I believe you should look at building a list that is able to cope with playing the following factions at some point in a GT if you’re looking to compete;

  • Blades of Khorne
  • Seraphon
  • Stormcast Eternals
  • Soulblight Gravelords
  • Gloomspite Gitz

But also, if you’re playing a local GT with your club, then bear in mind that meta may be completely different to those given in the stats above. All of what is presented here, should be taken with a pinch of salt, but hopefully it gives you some guidance when it comes to list construction, or even army choice if you’re looking to play Age of Sigmar.

GHB 22-23: Woehammer Player Rankings

Leave a comment
Advertisements

Edit 4th August 2023: Reclassified Wartilyo GT to the Asia region rather than Oceania. Also slight correction with data being pulled through to the post. This has been corrected but I don’t believe it’s had any effect on the top placings in each region or worldwide.

So our first full year of Woehammer Player Rankings is over and the results are in!

A a reminder, the way the results are calculated is a handicap system based on win rates at the time of the tournament event. For example, playing Gloomspite Gitz and getting 4-1 at a tournament under their old Battletome, would get you a lot more points than getting 4-1 with them once their new Battletome was released.

The system rewards players for success with underperforming factions.

As well as this, ther are event size multipliers dependent upon the number of players who attended.

The faction scores used are calculated for each Battlescroll (3 month period).

The top four tournament scores for a player goes towards their Woehammer Ranking results.

For a full breakdown on how Player Rankings are calculated, they’re all explained here.

So without further ado let’s get into the top 10 players from each region starting with the region that had the least amount of GT’s. We’ll then get the World Top 10.

There were a total of 5,306 players that attended GT’s that we have knowledge of, and each and every one has received a World and Regional Ranking based on their Woehammer Points score. If you’re interested in seeing where you ranked up, head on over to our Player Rankings page for 22-23.

Top Three AoS Lists for the Threshold Invitational

This is the top three AoS lists for the Threshold Invitational that took place in the Netherlands on the 15th and 16th of July. It involved 18 players vying to be crowned champion in a 5-game tournament.

As this event had less than 20 players attending there won’t be any list comments here as the guys will be concentrating on the larger events of the week.

Before I jump into the Top Three AoS Lists, I wanted to remind everyone of our friendly Discord server where you can join in the conversation with the Woehammer crew and suggest articles or series for the website.
