I browsed through all of the 8th edition tournaments posted by Rankings HQ on Twitter and their site that I could find. That is 22 total tournament results posted using 8th edition rules. I awarded 5 points for first place, 3 points for second place, and 1 point for a third place finish. This is of course limited to the results I am presented with, and doesn't include every 8th edition tournament across the world, but gives us a look at the general field. Lets have a look at how 8th edition is treating our armies:
40: Daemons of Chaos
34: Dark Elves
32: Lizardmen
27: Vampire Counts
20: Warriors of Chaos
11: Skaven
11: Empire
7: High Elves
6: Dwarfs
6: Beastmen
3: Orcs and Goblins
3: Wood Elves
1: Dogs of War
I think there are still a lot of good players using the top tier armies from last edition, but interesting stats! The one army that sticks out for me on the list is Vampire Counts...
ReplyDeletenot sure why people think vampires are rubbish in 8th edition; they're still one of the stronger armies imo.
