40k 11th edition: faction balance

What changed since the last report

This is the first edition. From the next update, new data, win rate moves and rank changes are listed here.

Summary

Units

The median faction has 7 units in at least half of its lists and 27 in at least 10%. 17% of current datasheets (198 of 1,140) were never played or appeared in under 1% of lists. Of 1,199 units in 40 or more lists, 122 (10%) have a clear effect on results, 57 positive and 65 negative. Those units are picked about as often as others: the median share of lists is 17%, against 16% for all units.

Detachments

The median faction needs 5 detachments to cover 80% of its lists, and 10 factions have one detachment in at least half of its lists. Of 196 detachments in 150 or more lists, 47 (24%) differ from their own faction's average. That is a higher share than for units (10%) or combinations (17%), so detachment choice is the largest source of imbalance inside a faction.

Combinations

59% of lists run two or more detachments. Of 370 combinations in 15 or more lists, 64 differ from the faction average (28 better, 36 worse). The strongest is Assault Brethren + Deathwatch Support + Terminator Storm Force in Space Marines (20.0 points above the faction average), the weakest Dark Age Arsenal + Inner Circle Task Force in Dark Angels (24.9 points below the faction average).

Time and milestones

10 factions of 28 have a clearly different win rate in the latest period than in the first. The largest shifts follow "Codex: Space Marines (11th Edition) releases" (3 October): Space Marines +5.9 points, World Eaters +5.4 points, Adeptus Custodes -4.5 points, Thousand Sons -7.3 points and Necrons -4.6 points. Other milestones followed by large moves: "July balance & rules update" (Imperial Knights -5.5 points); "August balance & rules update" (Chaos Daemons -5.5 points). 37% of detachments and 25% of units (with 25 or more lists) changed their share of lists by at least 8 points, with a clear margin, between the first period and the last 28 days. That is a larger share than the 36% of factions whose win rate moved. Each faction section lists the biggest changes.

Milestones

Data starts at the 11th edition launch on 20 June and runs to 25 October. Weekly games went from 11,490 in the first full week to 19,900 in the week of 21 September. 5 milestones are marked below. Effects are measured as the 28 days before against the 28 days after each date.

How to read the tables

Space Marines codex and Power Armour update (3 October) had the widest effect: 7 factions changed win rate clearly, and 302 detachments, units and enhancements shifted by at least 8 points in their faction's lists. The last three columns count items that moved by at least 8 points of their faction's lists with a clear margin.

August balance & rules update (26 August)

One faction changed win rate in the 28 days after: Chaos Daemons -5.5 points (59.2% to 53.7%).

17 detachments shifted by at least 8 points of their faction's lists. Largest: Might of the Moritoi in Adeptus Custodes (57% to 18%), Freebooter Krew in Orks (39% to 11%) and Hunting Warpack in Chaos Knights (26% to 52%).

58 units shifted by at least 8 points of their faction's lists. Largest: Painboy in Orks (67% to 30%), Wazdakka Gutsmek in Orks (70% to 36%) and Boyz in Orks (80% to 48%).

16 enhancements shifted by at least 8 points of their faction's lists. Largest: Dreadherder in Orks (0% to 21%), Snarling Rivalry in Chaos Knights (18% to 37%) and Supa-snazz Dakka in Orks (0% to 17%).

The 28 days after it also contain the milestone on 5 September, so the two effects overlap. Nothing clear in the first-turn effect and Force Disposition choice.

Space Marines codex and Power Armour update (3 October)

Space Marines, whose codex this was, went from 45.2% to 51.2% and from 6.3% to 9.0% of games.

7 factions changed win rate in the 28 days after: Space Marines +5.9 points (45.2% to 51.2%), World Eaters +5.4 points (49.1% to 54.5%), Adeptus Custodes -4.5 points (57.0% to 52.5%), Thousand Sons -7.3 points (47.6% to 40.3%), Necrons -4.6 points (53.0% to 48.4%) and Blood Angels +6.2 points (42.0% to 48.2%), and 1 more.

Force Disposition choice changed: Purge the Foe went from 20.0% to 23.7% of games and Priority Assets went from 26.6% to 23.6% of games.

65 detachments shifted by at least 8 points of their faction's lists. Largest: Legends of Saga and Song in Space Wolves (72% to 5%), Lords of the Forge in Adeptus Mechanicus (76% to 27%) and Assault Brethren in Blood Angels (0% to 49%).

185 units shifted by at least 8 points of their faction's lists. Largest: Bjorn The Fell-handed in Space Wolves (88% to 30%), Azrael in Dark Angels (83% to 38%) and Arjac Rockfist in Space Wolves (75% to 32%).

52 enhancements shifted by at least 8 points of their faction's lists. Largest: Furious Assault in Blood Angels (0% to 57%), Thief of Secrets in Deathwatch (60% to 4%) and Furious Assault in Black Templars (1% to 48%).

Only 23 days of data follow it, so the picture is still forming. The 28 days after it also contain the milestone on 17 October, so the two effects overlap. Nothing clear in the first-turn effect.

How to read the tables

Adjusted for player skill

A faction's win rate also reflects who plays it. To separate the two, one model on 130,210 games gives every faction and every player a strength. It then estimates what each faction wins against the opponents it actually met when both players are average and nobody goes first. Only 52% of the games have a player who appears in five or more games, so skill is known well for experienced players and is pulled toward average for the rest. The adjustment still improves predictions on events the model has not seen, so it carries real information.

The adjustment is modest and widens the gaps. The largest changes are Astra Militarum (3.1 points down), Imperial Agents (2.4 points down) and Orks (1.7 points up), and 6 factions change place in the ranking. Strong factions move up and weak ones down because their opponents tend to be stronger players: Swiss pairings match winning players against each other, so a faction that wins a lot meets better opposition in later rounds. The own-players column shows how much better or worse than average the faction's own players are, the opponents column the same for the players they met, both as the win rate against an average player.

Results brackets

Results come from 396 individual Strike Force events with at least 5 rounds: 17,113 lists entered and 14,774 played every round. Players are placed in five bands by the share of their games won. X is the most wins anyone had in the event, so X, X-1 and X-2 mean the same thing in a 5-round and a 7-round event: 682 lists won X, 2,127 won X-1 and 4,260 won X-2.

Players of Orks (59%), Necrons (53%) and Adeptus Custodes (52%) won at least 60% of their games more often than the field (47%). Players of Astra Militarum (31%), Chaos Knights (35%), Death Guard (38%) and Blood Angels (39%) did so less often.

Lists at X, X-1 and X-2

Over-represented among the lists at X to X-2, compared with their share of entries: Orks (1.25 times). Under-represented: Astra Militarum (0.71 times) and Chaos Knights (0.75 times).

How to read the tables

Emperor's Children, Chaos Knights, Leagues of Votann, Grey Knights and Drukhari play from the smallest pool of units (effective unit count 16 to 21), while Space Marines, Astra Militarum and Aeldari have the widest (72 for the broadest). Across factions the correlation between effective unit count and win rate is -0.14. The narrowest factions include both strong and weak ones.

In 10 factions a single detachment is in at least half of all lists: Imperial Agents (Veiled Blade Elimination Force, 79%), Deathwatch (Black Spear Task Force, 78%), Drukhari (Exhibition of Slaughter, 66%), Genestealer Cult (Xenocult Masses, 62%), Adeptus Mechanicus (Lords of the Forge, 61%), Leagues of Votann (Hearthguard Covenant, 60%), Adeptus Custodes (Lions of the Emperor, 60%), World Eaters (Berzerker Warband, 57%), Space Wolves (Saga of the Great Wolf, 53%) and Grey Knights (Argent Assault, 50%).

19 of 1,140 current datasheets never appeared in a Strike Force list, and 179 more appeared in under 1% of their faction's lists. The factions with the most unused datasheets: Genestealer Cult (1 never, 37 rare), Chaos Daemons (0 never, 19 rare), Aeldari (4 never, 12 rare) and Astra Militarum (3 never, 9 rare).

Extra areas

List width

Lists were ranked by the number of distinct unit types within each faction and split into four equal groups, using only lists whose parsed unit points add up to at least 1,850. Lists with fewer distinct units have a higher win rate: +2.9 points in the group with the fewest against -4.7 in the group with the most.

Group (within faction)	Avg distinct units	Lists	Effect on win rate (pp)
lowest quarter	8.0	16,404	+2.9 ± 0.2
second quarter	10.0	19,394	+1.6 ± 0.2
third quarter	11.5	17,548	-0.2 ± 0.2
highest quarter	13.5	16,954	-4.7 ± 0.2

How to read the tables

Within factions, a negative link between list width and results shows up in 20 of 28 factions (largest: Deathwatch -8.8, Adepta Sororitas -5.6, Adeptus Mechanicus -4.9, Space Marines -4.6, Blood Angels -4.4 and Death Guard -3.8 points per standard deviation of distinct units), and a positive link in 0.

Multiple copies of the same unit

For units that appear both as a single copy and as two or more copies in at least 50 lists each, taking multiples gives a higher win rate for Heretic Astartes Daemon Prince With Wings (Chaos Space Marines, 19.4 points above single-copy lists), Eradicator Squad with Melta Rifles (Space Marines, 18.7 points above single-copy lists), Land Speeder Vengeance (Dark Angels, 18.0 points above single-copy lists), Impulsor (Space Marines, 17.4 points above single-copy lists), Librarian (Blood Angels, 16.6 points above single-copy lists) and Wraithblades (Aeldari, 16.3 points above single-copy lists) and lower for Cadian Shock Troops (Astra Militarum, 14.2 points below single-copy lists), Raptors (Chaos Space Marines, 11.0 points below single-copy lists), Cadian Command Squad (Astra Militarum, 10.1 points below single-copy lists), Intercessor Squad (Dark Angels, 8.5 points below single-copy lists), Death Korps Of Krieg (Astra Militarum, 8.3 points below single-copy lists) and Vespid Stingwings (T'au Empire, 7.5 points below single-copy lists). The comparison does not adjust for what else is in the list.

Player base

Dropping each faction's three most active players changes its win rate by less than 1 point in 26 of 28 factions. The exceptions are Imperial Agents (-2.1 points, five most active players = 16% of games) and Deathwatch (-1.6 points, five most active players = 10% of games). The skill proxy (each player's results at their other events) differs little between factions, from -1.5 to +1.3 points, so player track record does not explain the ranking.

Points changes and pick rates

Unit costs are read from the lists themselves: a cost counts as changed when the most common cost of a unit in its faction's lists differs between the window before and the window after an update, with at least 10 lists and a clear majority cost in each. 396 cost changes qualify across 5 updates (22 July, 26 August, 5 September, 3 October and 17 October): 224 increases and 172 decreases, with a median size of 8%. Units that kept their cost in the same window are the comparison group.

Among units in at least 5% of their faction's lists before the update, a cost increase went with a median change in pick rate of -10% (-13% to -6%, 186 units), and a decrease with 6% (2% to 12%, 150 units). Units with an unchanged cost moved by -1% (2,498 units). The pick rate fell for 66% of the units that got more expensive and rose for 63% of those that got cheaper.

Lists with a unit that got cheaper also did better afterwards: the unit's effect on win rate moved by +2.2 points (+0.9 to +3.9), against -0.7 points (-1.5 to +0.2) for units that got more expensive. A cost change often comes with a rules change and with a faction update, so the pick rates and win rates are associated with the change but not caused by cost alone. A straight line through all 2,831 units gives no stable relation between the size of the change and the size of the pick rate response (-0.03 per unit of relative cost, standard error 0.24), so the direction matters more than the size.

How to read the tables

Method

Data

261,570 player-game rows (130,785 matches) from 3,447 events in Strike Force (2000 pts) format. Mirror matches count once and draws count 0.5. The data holds 72,283 lists from 28 factions.

Effects

Each game result is compared with a prediction from the two factions' strength and the first-turn effect. A list's effect is its average result minus that prediction. Item effects (units, detachments, combinations, enhancements, Force Disposition) are group averages of these list results, with standard errors clustered by list. Detachment effects are measured against the faction average. Combination effects include the strength of the detachments in them. Enhancement effects are measured against other lists with the same detachment. Unit effects are measured against lists with the same detachment strength and the same number of distinct units. Shrinkage towards the faction mean is used only to rank noisy items.

An effect is called clear when it is at least 3 standard errors from zero and also passes a false discovery check. Units, detachments, enhancements and combinations are tested in four groups (2,582 items in all), and within each group the expected share of false findings among the clear ones is held at 5%. That check removed 6 items that would otherwise have been called clear. A single borderline item should still be read with care. Items in fewer than 15 to 40 lists, depending on the table, are left out.

Player track record

Each player's average result at their other events (leave-one-event-out, shrunk towards zero) is subtracted. About 73% of games have such a history. Players with a single event get no adjustment.

Parse completeness

The parser reads the unit points of nearly every list: the average sum of parsed unit points is about 1,990 of 2,000, and 97.5% of lists reach 1,950 or more. Lists with fewer parsed points have a different win rate by up to about 7 points between the lowest and highest groups, and results were adjusted for this before items were compared. The list-width table uses only lists with at least 1,850 parsed points. Pick rates are shares of all lists in the faction. Faction, matchup and detachment results are not affected (detachment effects correlate 1.00 with the unadjusted values).

Limits

Results show what happens in tournaments. Players choose what to bring, and those choices follow skill, preparation and the opponents they expect. Points and rules changed during the period, and milestones fall close together, so a change after a milestone does not prove a single cause. Effects are associations. Small factions such as Deathwatch and Imperial Agents have wide uncertainty throughout, and milestones with fewer than 14 days of data (Codex: Adeptus Custodes (11th Edition) releases (17 Oct), 9 days of data) cannot yet be judged.

Results brackets use event standings from individual Strike Force events with at least 5 rounds only, a smaller set than the game-level analysis. Swiss pairing makes players with equal records meet, which compresses records, and strong players choose strong factions, so brackets reflect players as well as factions. Lists that did not play every round count as entries for X to X-2 but not for the win bands. Team events are included in all faction results; teams choose their own pairings, so the team events block of each faction sets them against its individual events. The charts in the milestone blocks use plain averages for that window without adjustment for opponent strength or list completeness. A dot is the win rate and the line is its 95% interval; a dot is coloured when the whole interval lies above or below the window's own win rate.

How to read the tables

Win rate: A win counts 1 and a draw 0.5. The 95% CI is the interval the true win rate lies in with 95% confidence.
Effect (pp): The difference in win rate, in percentage points, between lists that include an item and comparable lists of the same faction, after allowing for opponent strength, the first-turn effect and the player's track record. The figure after the sign is one standard error.
z: The effect divided by its standard error. Values of 3 or more in either direction are called clear and coloured: blue for better, orange for worse. Units, detachments, enhancements and combinations must also pass a false discovery check, so a few colours are left out.
Model expects, Diff (pp), Reading: Model expects is the win rate predicted from both factions' strength and the first-turn effect. Diff is the gap between the actual win rate and that prediction. Reading is shown when the interval excludes 50% or the gap to the model is clear after multiple-testing control.
Lists, Pick, In % of lists: The number of lists containing the item and their share of the faction's lists. A list with two detachments counts for both.
P1 to P4: The share of the faction's lists that include the detachment in each period. The period dates are given in the Over time table of each faction.
Milestone table: Win rate and share of games in the 28 days before and after the milestone. Changes with z of 3 or more are coloured.
Effective units: The number of equally common units that would give the same spread of play; higher means more varied. It can exceed a faction's own datasheet count because lists also contain units from outside the faction's codex.
Avg list overlap: The average share of units two random lists of the faction have in common.
Results brackets: Win bands place each player by the share of games won (a draw counts half) among players who played every round. X is the most wins in the event; X, X-1 and X-2 count the lists with that many wins. Share of tier is the faction's share of the lists in that tier, share of entries its share of all lists entered, and ratio the first divided by the second.
Top-10% ratio: The faction's share of top-10% finishes divided by its share of entrants.
Pick-rate shifts: Share of the faction's lists that include the item in the first period, the 28 days before the last 28, and the last 28 days. Only changes of 4 or more standard errors and a sizeable gap are listed.

How to read the tables

Each extra 2.8 distinct units in a list goes with a win rate 2.3 points lower; the average list has 11.4. Nothing clear turned up in matchups against the strength model, milestone moves, Force Disposition and terrain layout.

Representative lists

Up to two complete lists from the whole edition (1,950 parsed points or more). Lists are picked for how well they did in how large an event (wins and top placings in events with many players and rounds count most), with the more played build winning near-ties, and the two picks differ in detachment or in at least 40% of their units.
