Age of Sigmar AI Championship: Gemini
A few years ago, we had a go to see if AI could create a believable Top 3 Lists result. Needless to say, it failed miserably.
But it’s been many months since the, and we’ve loads of new AI programmes on the market and many upgrades since. So, what if we could see which AI was the best not only at creating an Age of Sigmar list, but also play them against each other (using humans, we’ve not come that far just yet) to see which would come out on top?
The Rules
For this I selected four AI assistants;
– ChatGPT
– Gemini
– Copilot
– Perplexity.
Their task is to try and create a 2,000 point Age of Sigmar list using the following prompt:
“I would like you to create me a 2,000 point Age of Sigmar army from any faction you wish using the current rules and the current GHB25-26. Your list will be played by an AoS player against other lists created by 3 other AI programmes in a knockout winner takes all tournament. Please break down why you chose the choices you did and any smack talk you want to include for the other AIs, perhaps why you’ll win this tournament? (ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini and Perplexity). We’re going to see which AI is the best at Age of Sigmar.”
I will then check to see whether I can create a valid 2,000 point list from their choices. For ever prompt after the one given above, I will deduct 1 point from their overall total at the end of the competition. This will continue until we have a viable list from the AI.
I’m also going to put the smack talk down in each article so that you can tell me in the comments which AI you think won the Psych-out game. This will be scored by giving the winner 40 pts, 2nd, 30pts, 3rd 15 pts, and nothing for 4th.
Finally, the AI’s will be placed into a Round Robin comeptition and I’ll have four players from the Woehammer Discord play their lists on TTS. For a win 100 points will be awarded and for a draw 50 pts.
Simple right? Yeah, we’ll see…..
Gemini
Gemini’s first attempt wasn’t actually too bad. It chose Kruleboyz as well, but it did choose the Big Yellers subfaction as well as a Shaman on Mirebrute Troggoth…. oh, and something called a Bad-Gubbinz Hut.
It’s clear that the prompt I gave it didn’t quite hit the mark, but before I try again, lets see what else was on the Kruleboyz list?
Kruleboyz
Subfaction: Big Yellers
Battle Tactics Cards: Intercept and Recover, Wrathful Cycles
General’s Regiment
Swampboss Skumdrekk (270 pts)
– General
– Fast ‘Un
10 Gutrippaz (160 pts)
6 Man-Skewer Boltboyz (240 Pts)
– Reinforced
Monsta-Killaz (190 Pts)
Regiment 1
Murknob with Belcha-banna (100 pts)
10 Gutrippaz (160 Pts)
Monsta-Killaz (190 Pts)
Regiment 2
Shaman on Mirebrute Troggoth (310 pts)
6 Man-Skewer Boltboys (240 Pts)
Faction Terrain
Bad-Gubbinz Hut
Coming in at 1860 points with 140 to spare is a bold choice. Though part of me would like to see what a Shaman on Mirebrute Troggoth could do.
Ok back to prompt drawing board……
It took six more prompts to get to a list that could actually be entered into the tournament. So that’ll give Gemini -60 Points off from the start.
Orruk Warclans | Kruleboyz
Swamphorde Bullies (30 Points)
General’s Handbook 2025-26

Scourge of Ghyran Swampboss Skumdrekk (250 Points)

20 Gutrippaz (320 Points)
– Reinforced
6 Man-Skewer Boltboyz (200 Points)

“Gemini: Skumdrekk is free to exploit his movement, unburdened by command abilities, simply focusing on flanking and cleaning up.”
Regiment 1
Murknob with Belcha-Banna (110 Points)
– Slippery Skumbag (20 Points)
10 Gutrippaz (160 Points)
Monsta-Killaz (120 Points)
“Gemini: The Murknob gets Slippery Skumbag, allowing him and the reinforced Gutrippaz he leads to disengage from a failed melee and reposition on an objective, preserving the key defensive aura for the next turn.”
Regiment 2
Swampcalla Shaman with Pot-grot (130 Points)
– Swamp Staff (10 Points)
6 Man-Skewer Boltboys (200 Points)
– Reinforced
Marshcrawla Sloggoth (140 Points)
“Gemini: The Swampcalla Shaman in now both my Wizard AND the Artefact carrier (Swamp Staff to weaken an enemy save). This makes him a vital, flexible piece.”
Regiment 3
Killaboss with Stab-grot (80 Points)
10 Hobgrot Slittaz (80 Points)
10 Hobgrot Slittaz (80 Points)
“Gemini: The addition of a 4th Regiment with cheap Hobgrot Slittaz gives me an extra drop and another throwaway unit to grab a far-flung objective or screen a flank for only 160 points total.”
1930 Points
What about the smack talk? What did Gemini say about it’s competition?

Gloomtide Shipwreck
Jo: Idoneth comes out on top through Chris and his THREE Eidolons! The two Storm Eidolons just give a fast and strong flank threats, but also two strong assassins to start fulfilling Master the Paths Tactics. In terms of Scouting Force, the Namarti units are a good way to do the first one relatively easily, but the later tactics will really start relying on the two reinforced units of Morrsarr Guard.
Like all Idoneth lists, it’s gonna take a lot of effort to try and maximize the damage output of all your units, which is only a testament to Chris’ play. Akhelian Beastmasters being the go-to subfaction helps though, since the Morrsarr Guard are going to need that +1 to hit if they’re looking to do sustained damage throughout the game, and one of the Storm Eidolon’s Artefact being Dritchleech helps with heeling up any eels that need topping up.
Overall, going triple Eidolon is more of a proof of how skilled Chris is, and eels are still looking strong in singles tournaments despite the rising popularity of Allopex spam. Congrats to Chris!

Senshi: The Ossiarch Bonereapers received another points drop in the latest Battlescroll, and we’re starting to see them secure top positions at tournaments. In this case, Samuel Older achieved an impressive 3rd place, losing only to the Kharadron Overlords—a well-known counter to the skeletal legions.
This list features many of the classic elements we’ve seen in previous winning builds:
The Ossiarch manifestation lore, including one of the game’s strongest manifestations: the Bone-tithe Shrieker, which subtracts 1 from enemy ward saves within 12 inches.
Katakros, the army’s best warscroll. This large infantry model (which can be obscured) maximizes OBR traits, extending their aura from the standard 12 inches to 18. For just 1 CP, he can grant +1 to save to three units within that aura and enhance unit control—extremely useful when dealing with small elite units of 3 to 6 models. He’s accompanied by the Immortis Guard, who add extra survivability to the general.
The Morghasts, the hammer of the list. These units are fast, hit hard, and are tough to remove. They consistently serve as the spearhead of the attack.
We also see some newer elements becoming common after the recent point adjustments:
A wizard is needed to cast the Shrieker or the Nadirite Weapons spell, and for just 90 points, the Soulreaper is a perfect fit. His chain fight ability can also be useful in specific situations.
The Teratic Cohort is a cheap, fast-deploying unit that can effectively deal with objective-holders or screening units.

Throwback Thursday: Non-GW Fantasy Games
This article was originally posted on Woehammer back on 30th August 2021 a month after we started.
We hadn’t even thought about stats or top 3 lists yet, and here I talk about some alternatives for fantasy wargaming.
Small Minded General: My 10mm Fantasy Project
Some of you may be aware that I’ve recently written my own fantasy ruleset for smaller scale games.
It’s aim is to put you in the shoes of what a General experiences, being unable to move all their troops with clockwork precision and not always knowing the full picture.
Part of this has meant taking some glamour shots for the Rulebook. Painting the models and making the scenery has possibly been the most fun I’ve had with wargaming for a long time. For those put off painting a smaller scale, thinking its too small or hard I would urge you to have a go.
There’s no shading, highlighting or detailing, mostly its just patches of colour which come together once you take the 3 foot rule in.
This is one of the shots I did for the rulebook. Aimed at recreating the GW battle scenes you sometimes get in their books. Here we’ve got some Human Halberdiers facing off against some Dwarf Warriors. Both sets of miniatures are sculpted by Forest Dragon Minatures. I bought these prints from Excellent Minitures.
Here I painted up a load of Orcs from Wargames Atlantic (Also, a box of their 10mm minis at £35 basically gives you enough for a small army in the Fantasy ruleset I’ve written).
In this one we’ve my Forest Dragon miniature Dwarfs on the right facing off against the Wargames Atlantic Orcs on the left.
All of these photos have been edited slightly in Canva, with the last one having a rain effect added over the top and the first two having scenic backgrounds inserted behind.
I’ll post some further updates soon, with perhaps some painting guides for the miniatures and instructions on how to make the smaller scale woods.

GT Win Rates
These are the first stats we’ve done in a while and things are looking a bit different despite it being very early days. As always those factions in bold should be taken with salt, as we feel there’s possibly not enough data there.
Estimated Win Rates if the Player Skill Levels were Equal
That’s a mouthful of title isn’t it!?
Essentially, what I’m trying to do here is work out what the win rates would be if the skill levels of all the players were the same (Yes, I realise this is nearly impossible to calculate – But I’m playing around here).
How it works is by calculating the average Elo of all the players that have had matches since the September battlescroll dropped. This worked out as 422.4. I then calculated how much difference there was between a factions average Elo shown in our original win rate graph to this overall average. The difference between these two figures was then turned into a percentage difference over/under the 422.4 elo. I then increased or decreased their win rate by this percentage (But this isn’t as simple as deducting or adding the percentage different to the win rate – you have to work out for instance what 4% may be of say 53% and then apply that. For Example – 10% of 40% is 4%)
Battle Formation GT Win Rates
This data is calculated in the same way as the win rates for factions. This only shows data for subfactions that have reached 100 games played since the battlescroll dropped.
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 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.
To make it a bit easier to see the effect of higher skilled players, I’ve added the below chart this week which breaks down each factions player base as a percentage.
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 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 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.
% of Players with a Positive GT Result
Ideally you would want 50% of the players having a positive results for a truly balanced game system.
Consecutive Wins
This chart shows firstly the % of players with a negative result from 5 games at GT’s or GT+ in purple 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.
Green shows the players who achieved three wins from three wins but were unable to win in their fourth round match.
Light blue 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.
Battle Tactic Win Rates
This table shows the most popular battle tactic pairings for each faction.
Battleplan Win Rates

This is the top three for the Season of War GT II that took place in Canada on between the 18th and 19th of October. It saw 38 players vying to be crowned champion in a 5-game tournament.
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.
