It’s just over a month until our latest Old World narrative event opens its doors and kicks off.
Back in March 12 players got together and fought for either the Ravening Hordes or the Forces of Fantasy to decide the fate of Mortensholm. A key city that lay at the foot of the mountain pass between the Empire, Bretonnia and the Border Princes.
The Ravening Hordes emerged victorious that day and claimed dominion over the City of Mortensholm.
The Forces of Fantasy however, have not accepted this defeat. Even now they plan to return to Mortensholm and wrestle it from Evil’s grip.
Which brings us to our campaign in November!

To try and keep myself painting regularly, I’ve decided to post a weekly hobby.
Whoops, I missed a week! But I did get a lot done.
First up, I managed to complete 10 High Elf Swordmasters and felt dirty while I did….
I’ve a number of games such as Silver Bayonet or Forging Ruin, which have Ghouls feature in them, so I took the opportunity to get these done.
The display box for taking nicer photos is also nearly ready! I used the dry placed trees to test it out on another unit I painted this week – Dark Age Irish Warriors.
My framing isn’t the beat here, but you hopefully get the idea of how it’ll work.
I may do an article on the construction of the box at some point as well, as its really simple to do.
To try and keep myself painting regularly, I’ve decided to post a weekly hobby.
I’ve started work on a display board, which will fit inside my light box, and I’ll use to photograph models inside. This week, I managed to get the rocks painted and got the grass down.
I also managed to get a High Elf Loremaster painted from my backlog. Am I now a High Elf player?!
This is the top three Old World lists for the Old World Legends Open that took place in the United States on the 1st and 2nd of March. It saw 22 players vying to be crowned champion in a 5-game tournament.
Legacy armies were allowed (and encouraged), Allies were not allowed, but mercenaries were, and the rule of 3 was in place.

The Top Three Old World Lists
=== 1st OWL [1995 pts] Warhammer: The Old World, High Elf Realms ===
++ Characters [996 pts] ++
Prince [523 pts] – Hand weapon – Full plate armour – Shield – General – Star Dragon – Talisman of Protection – Dragon Helm – Biting Blade – Opal Amulet – Seed of Rebirth – Pure of Heart
Noble [273 pts] – Hand weapon – Full plate armour – Shield – Battle Standard Bearer – Griffon – Opal Amulet – Seed of Rebirth – Pure of Heart
Sean Langford: Eric’s list went undefeated at a 5 round GT taking the meta High Elf list and tweaking it to put it over the top, and take 1st place. I was able to catch up with him and get a lot of insight on his list.
Rather than the standard double dragon, he opts to run a noble on Griffon with a Battle Standard bearer, which is one of my favorite things about this list. This keeps the Mage out of combat to be able to continue to cast, while a dragon wants to be in combat. The griffon still adds a bit of the fast punch while maintaining the casting value of the Archmage.
He says, “My playstyle is rather different. You have to be comfortable to position your stuff to flee, and flee often as necessary. I even have my dragon flee from charges because with having 18” Battle Standard Bearer reroll on rallies, why take fights you don’t need to take”.
While being a little more fragile than a dragon, it does still have the 5+ regen and the 2+ one-time ward as well.
Another interesting playstyle he adheres to is different than most players that try to get mobility on their mages to worry about dispelling magic.
He says, “I call it handshaking my opponents mage, but all that means is that I don’t normally care about dispelling what my opponent wants to do. He can get all his spells off, and I’ll play around that while I will get mine off. This fits the Archmage well since lileath blessing let’s you reroll a failed cast per turn, meaning high elves are best at consistently getting spells off, not powering spells past opposing dispel like chaos or mort cult. The critical ones are double fireball each turn, pillar of fire, arcane urgency (probably the strongest spell in the game) and courage of aenarion to usually give my dragon unbreakable so I don’t have to care about my opponent’s combat resolution or when he tries to break the dragon with combat resolution. Since it’s remains in play and casts on a 10, my opponent needs to roll an 11 with fated dispell to remove.”
The Prince on the dragon is the typical 2+ armor, 5+ ward, 5+ regen, with a one-time 2+ ward to protect multi wound sources like monster killer or the errant cannon ball. He also uses a biting blade for magical attacks to help with ethereal problems like the Green Knight.
Dipping into the new Arcane Journal, he adds 2 rings of fury on a fast delivery system with the Silver Helms. While he says that mathematically they may not be reliable, there is value in your opponent needing to respect and play around them. He also brings Sisters of Avelorn as magic item carriers with the ruby ring of ruin and Bow of the Seafarer for extra punch as well as a third unit that will accompany the Archmage for protection.
Eric says, “Sisters are good enough that they trade well into almost every opposing shooter. 30″ BS5 bows with smart use of evasive should never lose a shooting battle against anything except 32″ BS5 bows with evasive from wood elves, and the rest of the army is fast enough to catch wood elves. This means my opponent has to voluntarily walk into dragon (and griffon and skycutter) charge ranges to threaten the shooting cause my army doesnt actually have to walk up into my opponents if it is not a dedicated gunline. Using these 3 units can help to weaken key armoured threats for the dragon, griffon, and skycutter. With 10 archers, 15 sisters, 6 bows from skycutters, and 1 fireball from ruby ring, and 1 fireball/pillar of fire from the mage you actually have a lot of shooting that your opponent actually has to respect and approach you to deal with. You do not need to send your dragon and griffon up into the opposing army’s face. A lot of the time, the 2 will hang out in the center of the board next to the shooting sisters and simply just wait.”
Another very interesting variation from the typical meta, is 2 skycutters that actually do not have the bolt thrower. Keeping them cheap saves points for other things and also allows greater mobility by not keeping them from marching to still be able to shoot.
He says, “I think they’re the best traditional heavy chariot. With fly 10, and can declare charges of 19 inches. You can basically always guarantee you get your impact hit charge off. They’re also just cheap enough to be tanky. 90 points for 4 wounds at Toughness 4 and 4+ save is a great value. They’re just tanky enough to go up a flank, help engage and win a combat, get shot at and be at 1-2 wounds, and then march 20” way out of the battle to hide behind terrain to deny points.”
Overall, this is a very tough list to play against that I can see having a very high skill cap and requiring careful play. When in the hands of a skilled pilot like Eric running them, there are not a lot of armies that can handle this movement on these many hammer units. Fast moving with great combo charges with a dragon, BSB on griffon, and skycutters can take down most armies.
=== 2nd OWL [2000 pts] Warhammer: The Old World, Dwarfen Mountain Holds, Royal Clan ===
++ Characters [978 pts] ++
King [339 pts] – Hand weapon – Great weapon – Full plate armour – General – Shieldbearers – Master Rune of Smiting – Master Rune of Gromril – Rune of Preservation – Rune of the Furnace
Runesmith [279 pts] – Hand weapon – Great weapon – Full plate armour – Shield – Battle Standard Bearer [Master Rune of Grungni + Rune of Battle] – 3x Rune of Spellbreaking
Anvil of Doom [360 pts] – Hand weapons – Shields – Heavy armour – Master Rune of Adamant – Rune of Spellbreaking
++ Core Units [507 pts] ++
28 Longbeards [507 pts] – Hand weapons – Great weapons – Heavy armour – Shields – Drilled – Elder (champion) [Rune of Passage + Rune of the Furnace] – Standard bearer [Rune of Battle + Strollaz’ Rune + Rune of Courage]
++ Special Units [160 pts] ++

++ Rare Units [355 pts] ++
18 Irondrakes [355 pts] – Hand weapons – Drakeguns – Full plate armour – Drilled – Ironwarden (champion) [Trollhammer torpedo + Cinderblast bombs] – Standard bearer [Strollaz’ Rune]
— Created with “Old World Builder”
[https://old-world-builder.com]
Peter: This list is designed to take opponents by surprise and move up the field quickly, taking advantage of Strollaz’ Runes on both Units to give them a Vanguard move to get within range for the Irondrakes to start blasting. I suspect the Longbeards and Irondrakes would have both marched forward quickly on turn 1 with the king inside the Longbeards and the Runesmith in the Irondrakes. The Bugman’s Cart would have been placed just behind and between both units to give them a movement of 4″ rather than 3″.
Dwarfs move 4″ with their Vanguard move. They then get to move 12″ forward if they’re in column and marching, and if the Anvil of Doom casts Haste & Urgency, the Dwarfs can then move again. This has them halfway up the table on turn 1. The champion in the Longbeards having the Rune of Passage means they have the move through cover rule as well.
The Grudge Thrower would have smashed away at range while the Anvil of Doom would have continued casting spells like Wrath & Ruin for a magic Missile (27″ 2D6 Strength 4, -2 AP hits) or buffing the Dwarfs with Immune to Psychology or save rerolls.
The two units of Dwarfs will be a tough nut to crack as well. The BSB giving bith units a 6+ ward to shooting attacks and one of the units a 5+ ward against all attacks. It also has the Rune of Courage to automatically pass any Fear and Terror tests. While it’s Rune of Battle will give an additional +1 to any combat res.
The King is designed to stick around as well, he has immune to killing blows and multiple wounds while his Master Rune of Smiting gives his own weapon D6 multiple wounds. He also has a 2+ save from the Master Rune of Gromril and a 3+ Ward against any wounds suffered that were caused by an attack which has the Flaming Attacks special rule.
With a sprinkling of Runes of Spellbreaking. The list is designed to withstand the enemy onslaught while plugging away at them at range and wearing them down in combat.
Sean asked Eric how he went about beating this list in the fourth round, Eric had this to say:
“I used my mobility to kill off everything else but the anvil and the Longbeard unit. I had to sacrifice a skycutter to keep the Longbeards at bay for a critical turn but that was enough to secure 400 points from killing the Irondrakes. There is no reason to fight the Longbeard unit since its so slow. It is fast at marching with up to 27″ of movement on turn1, but their charge range is only up to 9 (10 if they slow down to keep the cart alongside).“
=== 3rd OWL [1999 pts] Warhammer: The Old World, Warriors of Chaos ===
++ Characters [963 pts] ++
Chaos Lord [622 pts] – Hand weapon – Full plate armour – Shield – Mark of Chaos [Mark of Nurgle] – General – Chaos Dragon – Ogre Blade – 2x Favour of the Gods – Brazen Collar – Enchanting Aura
Sorcerer Lord [341 pts] – Hand weapon – Heavy armour – Mark of Tzeentch – Level 4 Wizard – Chaos Steed – Armour of Meteoric Iron – Spell Familiar – Infernal Puppet – Favour of the Gods – Battle Magic
15 Forsaken [285 pts] – Mutated weapons (Hand weapons) – Heavy armour – Forsaken by Khorne
10 Marauder Horsemen [155 pts] – Hand weapons – Light armour – Shields – Mark of Chaos [Mark of Tzeentch] – Musician
++ Special Units [196 pts] ++

Gigantic Spawn of Chaos [170 pts] – Slashing talons – Gnashing maws – Heavy armour (Scaly skin) – Gigantic Spawn of Nurgle
— Created with “Old World Builder”
[https://old-world-builder.com]
Sean Langford: This Warriors of Chaos list starts off strong with a Chaos lord on dragon. This guy is a beast in combat and with the mark of Nurgle, becomes even harder to kill. Ogre blade adds some real killing power and enchanting aura helps to let him unleash first before the opponent and even buff other units as well by giving opposing units strike last when in combat with multiple units. When going into deathstar units with multiple units, this can be extra nice.
Sorcerer lord with infernal puppet is a must to help shut down opposing magic and adds some speed being on a steed. He can also join the marauders for the extra casting buff. Forsaken can really spike some damage with random attacks and the extra attack on the charge as well as the random buff from rampant mutation. Impetuous might be the downside but they can be easy to control, if necessary, with the Chaos Warhounds blocking charges until they are ready. The three Dragon Ogors are a must-have that can also do some serious damage with the Great Weapons as well.
Lastly, they add a little extra spice by throwing in 2 Gigantic Chaos Spawns of Nurgle. While they are a little less reliable with random movement and random attacks, D6+1 and D6 stomp attacks are still pretty good damage output. They also got a little buff with the last errata, changing the roll to being the maximum movement. They no longer need to go the full dice roll and can now set up some 3d6 charges instead of shambling into the opponent’s easy charge range, so expect to see these guys more. Plus having the Mark of Nurgle and Toughness 6 makes opponents figure out how to do 22 wounds between 2 of these and a Chaos Lord on Dragon, that all have the Mark of Nurgle to make them even harder to kill. This can be a pain for a lot of armies out there and they really need exceptional damage output to really handle these 3 units but if they really focus on bringing these down the Forsaken and Dragon Ogres shouldn’t be underestimated.

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.

If you follow the site, you’ll know that we do in-depth stats for Games Workshop’s Age of Sigmar system. We’ve also been tracking Old World stats at a very high level since it’s release. With the popularity of Old World as a tournament system, we’ve seen the number of events and games steadily increasing over the past year, so much so that we’ve reached a point where we can provide a little more detail into the figures that make up these win rates.
Firstly a disclaimer, these stats are based on events hosted on the website Best Coast Pairings, Stats & Ladders, and Ecksen. We do have plans to add further sites into the database in the future, and we are aware that T3 etc also have their own stats. Our advice is always to look at every source of statistics, this will give you a much more informed idea on the state of the game. Mistakes can be made, if they occur I will update the article as soon as I can with a note as to what has been changed.
The majority of our stats are taken from 2,000 point GT events where legacy factions have been allowed to take part. This is due to these being the most popular events in our database. If you wish to view the data, you can download the file at the end of this article.
Followers of Woehammer will be aware of our Elo ratings in Age of Sigmar, I have tracked these for Old World and do have the data, which is included in the matches tab on the file at the end of the document.
GT Win Rates
GT Win (2,000pts) Rates since 18th July FAQ
We’ve split out the various muster lists for factions that have already received their Arcane Journal. So for Dwarfen Mountain Holds, Kingdom of Bretonnia, Orc and Goblin Tribes, Tomb Kings of Khemri and Warriors of Chaos, you may see up to three different entries for each faction. Each of these are for the muster lists available to them, the Grand Army in the core Forces of Fantasy or Ravening Hordes books, then their two optional muster lists available inside the Arcane Journal. For simplicity we’ve cut any muster list that has less than 20 games on record at GTs.
