Following our post two weeks ago, we announced that we would be looking at the Old World stats. Since then we’ve received numerous requests for updates.

Tournament Data
With around 3-4 tournaments each weekend, the data is gathering at a steady pace. However, all the events have been single day tournaments so far. We’ve yet to have the first 2 day event come through.
All of the current data are for events hosted on Best Coast Pairings, Stats and Ladders and Ecksen. Our thanks goes to these sites for their continued support with our stats projects.
The points size for one day events varies, but 2,000 points appears to be the most common limit at present. However, without any GW events having taken place yet, there are a few at smaller point values.
All of these results have been used in the stats to date. As we gather more data we will begin to split out the Grand Tournaments from the rest of the pack. We may also split out the 2,000 point RTT (single day) events. But we’re happy to be led by the community on this. We would love suggestions as to what you would like to see.
Faction Data
We’ve chosen a minimum limit of 60 games featuring the faction, for them to be included in the statistics. With the games being drawn from single day events, this means it represents a minimum of 20 players per faction. This should provide a varied enough data set in terms of individual skill.
We calculate the win rates by adding the number of game wins and half their number of draws. We then divide the result by the factions total games to give a win percentage.
There are a number of factions who haven’t yet managed the 60 game target. These are;
Beastmen Brayherds – 29 Games Played
Chaos Dwarfs – 23 Games Played
Daemons of Chaos – 35 Games Played
Dark Elves – 36 Games Played
Lizardmen – 26 Games Played
Ogre Kingdoms – 38 Games Played
Skaven – 23 Games Played
I can reveal out of the above, only two of those factions are outside the ideal 45-55% win rate range.
So out of the gate, the stats look very good. Tomb Kings are at 66%, but this is a good result. Especially considering this is a new system and Games Workshop haven’t done any balance updates as yet. Only three factions so far are outside the 45-55% win rate range. With two of those only marginally outside that bracket.
In terms of popularity, the Kingdom of Bretonnia is the most popular faction. Followed by the Orc and Goblin Tribes and Warriors of Chaos, both of which have always been popular in Warhammer Fantasy.
There we have it, is there any specific data you’d like to see included in the future? If so, drop us a comment below.
