Results by Army (2008)

How often each Warhammer 40K army was used in tournaments in 2008 and how well they did.

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 2008. 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%
Eldar	30	19
Chaos Space Marines	29	19
Orks	16	10
Space Marines	15	10
Tyranids	13	8
Tau	10	6
Necrons	8	5
Chaos Daemons	8	5
Dark Angels	6	4
Blood Angels	5	3
Witch Hunters	4	3
Dark Eldar	3	2
Daemonhunters	2	1
Space Wolves	2	1
Imperial Guard	2	1
Black Templars	1	1

The Podium Ratio for an army is its % of podium finishes / % of armies. For example, Orks had 10.5% of the podium finishes but were only 6.1% of the total armies. So when you take into account the number of times that an army is used, Orks are about 1.7x as likely as the average army to get a podium finish.

**Podium Ratio**
Army	Count	Podium Finishes	Avg Overall	Podium Ratio
Chaos Daemons	25	8	74	3.09
Eldar	168	30	56	1.73
Orks	91	16	64	1.70
Chaos Space Marines	239	29	54	1.17
Tyranids	118	13	53	1.07
Necrons	75	8	50	1.03
