Age of Sigmar: 4th Edition Stats (April Battlescroll) – 28th June 2026

Leave a comment

We’ve updated the method of calculating the Elo ratings into our Age of Sigmar stats, this includes an attempt to reflect both the tournament strength and the faction strength.

All of the results in this article are taken from Best Coast Pairings, , Ecksen, ChampionshipHub, Milarki, Mini Headquarters, Tabletop Herald and Longshanks. They include GT (Two day events) or GT+ (6 or more rounds) only.

For patrons, you’ll be able to download and play with the database as well (which includes all the lists and stats for all the factions).

As always, if you’re struggling to read a chart, you should be able to right click and then either view or download the image.

GT Win Rates

I’ve added in a colour code to show the rough age of the rules the faction is using.

As always, these are global stats from various sources around the internet. Daughters are currently dominating, but we do have to note that they have an exceptionally high average Elo suggesting that a lot of top players are using them.

Factions by Average Elo

I’ve included this one to show the rankings of factions by their average Elo. As mentioned in the last section, Daughters have the highest average Elo of all the factions currently which goes a long way to contributing to that 62% win rate.

GT Win Rates Over the Last 60 Days

We’ve passed the 60 day mark since the first events of the battlescroll dropped. These win rates would more likely show the effect of players adjusting to the competitive lists of armies as the Battle scroll progresses.

Estimated Win Rates if the Player Skill Levels were Equal

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 April battlescroll dropped. This worked out as 435.5. 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 435.5 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%)

Win Rates by Release Date

This is a new one this week, and will be temporary for now until the new GHB is released.

Essentially this shows the win rates for all the battletomes released within certain periods of time (every 6 months since 4th edition release).

This should show whether Battletomes are generally stronger the later they are released into the edition. As we can see they all fall within the 45-55% win area, though the battletomes released in the last 6 months are a little stronger than the other cohorts.

Battle Formation Win Rates

The above shows the win rates for all Battle Formations that been played in 100 GT games or more.

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.

The above is an aim to show how easy factions are to pilot for players. In this case I’ve narrowed the population down to players with an Elo between 200 and 400. What follows is then the % of those players to win in the first round. This continues, showing what % of players won in round 1 and round 2 in the next column. This continues to show how deep developing players are progressing into tournaments undefeated using that faction.

Bear in mind that although we have no tournament history on record for these players, they may be skilled outside of tournaments before their first recorded instance in the Woehammer database.

Battleplan Win Rates

This one could be useful for TO’s who are looking to run tournaments in the near future. If you’re hoping to curtail a few of the higher powered factions, you could perhaps look to use battleplans where those factions aren’t as dominant.

PlasticCraic mentioned the popularity of Battleplans earlier this week on his discord. So thought I’d include this.

Age of Sigmar General’s Handbook 2026–27: Living Review

1 Comment

Here we go again! A new season has dropped! People are already getting games in with and will be deciding which armies it will suit (or not) the best. I’m going to try and avoid that.

Not because those impressions are worthless (they aren’t). The early reactions can identify real strengths and weaknesses. But they rarely tell the full story.

The real problem with reviewing a General’s Handbook on the week of release week is that we lack data and we don’t know how reliable the future data will be.

That is perhaps especially true for the 2026–27 handbook. Only because it may be harder to evaluate the GHB by win rate alone may be one of the most difficult GHBs yet to evaluate using raw win rate alone.

The introduction of the Rage Mechanic may introduce additional swing, which may require deeper analysis.

So rather than declaring instant winners and losers, I’ll do what I always try to do. First, review the early impressions, and then, once there’s enough GT data, I’ll start plugging in some numbers:

– Battleplan usage
– Battleplan win rates
– Battle tactic usage
– Battle tactic win rates
– Tournament pack adoption

First Impressions – More Depth, More Complexity

My first reaction after reading the new handbook was straightforward:

See PlasticCraic, I can use GIFs too!

My old brain can’t seem to cope with this level of complexity at first glance.

But this complexity isn’t necessarily a bad thing, as it can create better tactical depth and skill expression. But Age of Sigmar 4th Edition launched in a relatively clean, and what was intended to be a streamlined state. This GHB feels like a step back towards heavier rules overhead.

Players are now going to be asked to track their Fury levels and Rage Dice on top of the usual admin of an Age of Sigmar game and their own army mechanics. That is a lot.

Several players I’ve spoken to described the same experience: after their first read-through, they felt interested but slightly overwhelmed. One comment in particular stuck with me as it echoed my own thoughts:
“Maybe I’m getting old, but this feels like a lot to keep track of.”

I think many players will feel the same initially. But, will the extra complexity will be worth it?

Lore and Presentation

It would be bad if I did not mention the presentation of the GHB, because as always GW have done a great job.

The Aqshy setting feels fleshed out and with the locations of Embergard, the Adamantine Chain and others, you have a believable (if that can be applied to fantasy) setting for a campaign with multiple fronts.

For competitive players this may not matter much, but for everyone else the added flavour and world building is always a welcome bonus.

Are we getting hints of the end of the Mortal Realms here before 5th Edition rebuilds the world again?

Aqshian Crusades

The Aqshian Crusades are basically pre-built mission packs for RTTs, GTs and longer running campaigns. They’re curated battleplan sets with some thematic flavour layered on top.

But will TOs uses them? Some will no doubt embrace the pre-built packs initially, while others will continue curating their own.

I’ll be tracking that out of interest through the stats where I can.

Fury and Rage Dice

The headline mechanic of the Aqshy season is Fury and Rage Dice. As the battle progresses, armies generate Rage Dice that can be spent offensively or defensively.

After reading the rules, I’m less worried about pure randomness than I initially was. In practice, Rage is another resource management system. They function as a damage amplifier and a way to protect your troops. Spending the dice aggressively can swing combat, but banking them for reducing future damage may prove equally powerful.

Credit: Warhammer Community

My main concern is over who benefits the most, combat armies already built to dominate in melee will gain more value from Rage than armies that prefer pressure or precision I think. If that is the case then we could see games coming down to midboard fighting which brings us to…

Battleplans – Welcome to the Midboard

The battleplans are always the most important part of the handbook, and it would seem that the early feedback suggests that there’s a shift towards controlling the centre of the board as many objective layouts reward controlling the middle of the table.

An overlooked factor in this GHB may be that several battleplans now directly interact with terrain pieces in ways that previous seasons rarely did.

Previous GHBs had allowed scoring through mobility and objective trading, whereas this GHB could be down to who wins the centre. This could favour armies with tough infantry that are able to create a strong board presence. Armies that prefer precision strikes may struggle a bit more.

But as with every GHB, not all the Battleplans are created equal, some look excellent while some will see very little play at all (Some have already been given nicknames).

Hidden Under Ash-Clouds, for example, fundamentally alters movement, deployment and visibility, which could create very different win conditions for shooting, magic and melee armies.

Battle Tactics – Skill Expression or List Tax?

The new battle tactics look to be well thought out this season. Previous seasons often included tactics that felt too passive and that you could achieve without thinking too hard.

That may not be the case now as many have said the tactics feel a lot more deliberate and that lists may now need to be written with achieving the tactics you choose in mind. Some tactics may appear to be broadly achievable while others will reward access to specific tools such as ranged damage, magic or movement tricks.

This raises a question though, are the tactics testing player skill or simply rewarding armies that naturally tick more boxes during list building?

Initial Verdict

This has the potential to be one of the most tactical General’s Handbooks in recent memory. Strong competitive players will likely enjoy the increased decision making and complexity while casual players may find a steep learning curve with the additional bookkeeping.

GT Win Rates

I’ve added in a colour code to show the rough age of the rules the faction is using.

As always, these are global stats from various sources around the internet. Daughters are currently dominating, but we do have to note that they have an exceptionally high average Elo suggesting that a lot of top players are using them.

Factions by Average Elo

I’ve included this one to show the rankings of factions by their average Elo. As mentioned in the last section, Daughters have the highest average Elo of all the factions currently which goes a long way to contributing to that 62% win rate.

GT Win Rates Over the Last 60 Days

We’ve passed the 60 day mark since the first events of the battlescroll dropped. These win rates would more likely show the effect of players adjusting to the competitive lists of armies as the Battle scroll progresses.

Estimated Win Rates if the Player Skill Levels were Equal

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 April battlescroll dropped. This worked out as 435.5. 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 435.5 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%)

Win Rates by Release Date

This is a new one this week, and will be temporary for now until the new GHB is released.

Essentially this shows the win rates for all the battletomes released within certain periods of time (every 6 months since 4th edition release).

This should show whether Battletomes are generally stronger the later they are released into the edition. As we can see they all fall within the 45-55% win area, though the battletomes released in the last 6 months are a little stronger than the other cohorts.

Battle Formation Win Rates

The above shows the win rates for all Battle Formations that been played in 100 GT games or more.

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.

The above is an aim to show how easy factions are to pilot for players. In this case I’ve narrowed the population down to players with an Elo between 200 and 400. What follows is then the % of those players to win in the first round. This continues, showing what % of players won in round 1 and round 2 in the next column. This continues to show how deep developing players are progressing into tournaments undefeated using that faction.

Bear in mind that although we have no tournament history on record for these players, they may be skilled outside of tournaments before their first recorded instance in the Woehammer database.

Battleplan Win Rates

This one could be useful for TO’s who are looking to run tournaments in the near future. If you’re hoping to curtail a few of the higher powered factions, you could perhaps look to use battleplans where those factions aren’t as dominant.

GT Win Rates

I’ve added in a colour code to show the rough age of the rules the faction is using.

As always, these are global stats from various sources around the internet. Daughters are currently dominating, but we do have to note that they have an exceptionally high average Elo suggesting that a lot of top players are using them.

Factions by Average Elo

I’ve included this one to show the rankings of factions by their average Elo. As mentioned in the last section, Daughters have the highest average Elo of all the factions currently which goes a long way to contributing to that 62% win rate.

GT Win Rates Over the Last 60 Days

We’ve passed the 60 day mark since the first events of the battlescroll dropped. These win rates would more likely show the effect of players adjusting to the competitive lists of armies as the Battle scroll progresses.

Estimated Win Rates if the Player Skill Levels were Equal

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 April battlescroll dropped. This worked out as 435.5. 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 435.5 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%)

Win Rates by Release Date

This is a new one this week, and will be temporary for now until the new GHB is released.

Essentially this shows the win rates for all the battletomes released within certain periods of time (every 6 months since 4th edition release).

This should show whether Battletomes are generally stronger the later they are released into the edition. As we can see they all fall within the 45-55% win area, though the battletomes released in the last 6 months are a little stronger than the other cohorts.

Battle Formation Win Rates

The above shows the win rates for all Battle Formations that been played in 100 GT games or more.

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.

The above is an aim to show how easy factions are to pilot for players. In this case I’ve narrowed the population down to players with an Elo between 200 and 400. What follows is then the % of those players to win in the first round. This continues, showing what % of players won in round 1 and round 2 in the next column. This continues to show how deep developing players are progressing into tournaments undefeated using that faction.

Bear in mind that although we have no tournament history on record for these players, they may be skilled outside of tournaments before their first recorded instance in the Woehammer database.

Battleplan Win Rates

This one could be useful for TO’s who are looking to run tournaments in the near future. If you’re hoping to curtail a few of the higher powered factions, you could perhaps look to use battleplans where those factions aren’t as dominant.

GT Win Rates

I’ve added in a colour code to show the rough age of the rules the faction is using.

As always, these are global stats from various sources around the internet. Daughters are currently dominating, but we do have to note that they have an exceptionally high average Elo suggesting that a lot of top players are using them.

Factions by Average Elo

I’ve included this one to show the rankings of factions by their average Elo. As mentioned in the last section, Daughters have the highest average Elo of all the factions currently which goes a long way to contributing to that 62% win rate.

Estimated Win Rates if the Player Skill Levels were Equal

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 April battlescroll dropped. This worked out as 435.5. 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 435.5 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%)

Win Rates by Release Date

This is a new one this week, and will be temporary for now until the new GHB is released.

Essentially this shows the win rates for all the battletomes released within certain periods of time (every 6 months since 4th edition release).

This should show whether Battletomes are generally stronger the later they are released into the edition. As we can see they all fall within the 45-55% win area, though the battletomes released in the last 6 months are a little stronger than the other cohorts.

Battle Formation Win Rates

The above shows the win rates for all Battle Formations that been played in 100 GT games or more.

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.

The above is an aim to show how easy factions are to pilot for players. In this case I’ve narrowed the population down to players with an Elo between 200 and 400. What follows is then the % of those players to win in the first round. This continues, showing what % of players won in round 1 and round 2 in the next column. This continues to show how deep developing players are progressing into tournaments undefeated using that faction.

Bear in mind that although we have no tournament history on record for these players, they may be skilled outside of tournaments before their first recorded instance in the Woehammer database.

Battleplan Win Rates

This one could be useful for TO’s who are looking to run tournaments in the near future. If you’re hoping to curtail a few of the higher powered factions, you could perhaps look to use battleplans where those factions aren’t as dominant.
