Results by Army (2009)

How often each Warhammer 40K army appears in tournaments and how well they do.

The results by army have been calculated a little differently from the player results.  The Army statistics have been calculated using the Log32 scoring system. However, for the purpose of the Army statistics, each tournament has a weighting of 100%.  Thus if a given army wins a tournament it will get a score of 100 regardless of the size of the tournament.  If an army has an average score of 50 that means that on average it places the the middle of the field.

The following tables are based on all available results from the last 12 months.  For a breakdown by region refer to Army Results by Region.

Podium Finishes indicates how often the army achieved a podium finish (ie a top 3 result).

Armies Podium Finishes
Army Count Podium%
Chaos Space Marines 38 19
Space Marines 34 17
Orks 28 14
Eldar 16 8
Chaos Daemons 15 8
Imperial Guard 13 7
Dark Eldar 13 7
Tyranids 12 6
Tau 8 4
Daemonhunters 6 3
Necrons 4 2
Space Wolves 3 2
Witch Hunters 2 1
Black Templars 2 1
Dark Angels 2 1
Blood Angels 2 1

 

The Podium Ratio for an army is its % of podium finishes / % of armies.  For example, Orks had 14% of the podium finishes but were only 9.1% of the total armies.  So when you take into account the number of times that an army is used, Orks are about 1.5x as likely as the average army to get a podium finish.
