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 2007. For a breakdown by region refer to Army Results by Region.

The Podium Ratio for an army is its % of podium finishes / % of armies. For example, Tyranids had 14.8% of the podium finishes but were only 7.75% of the total armies. So when you take into account the number of times that an army is used, Tyranids are about twice as likely as the average army to get a podium finish while Imperial Guard are only about one third as likely to get a podium finish.
