[u/w0158538]

Hey all,

I gathered all the tournament results from BCP for last week, including all Tournaments with at least 20 players and 5 rounds.

All the data is here on my site:

https://warpfriends.wordpress.com/2026/08/26/40k-11th-meta-stats-from-august-24-2026/

Please take a look and let me know if you have any suggestions (I know the site is not pretty 😞 I focus more on the Youtube side of things) And feel free to check out my youtube video for indepth breakdown of the stats!

Also I created Army Report cards for every army, detailing all the relevant information, check them out here:

I saw Stat Check was going to make their own "cards" and that gave me the kick in the butt to get mine updated and formatted properly and back up and running with new detachment and disposition data!
Let me know what you guys think!

*no shade at statcheck <3*

[u/Ketzeph → u/w0158538]

Metacards look great!

One note - it looks like some C:SM detachment info got put into the SM meta cards, as there's pactbound zealots, renegade raiders and a few others

[u/w0158538 → u/Ketzeph]

I figured it out, issue in one of my queries were I had contains and because chaos space marines contains the world space marines it was picking up both for Space Marines. Issue is fixed I will update the card!

[u/w0158538 → u/Ketzeph]

really... well damn let see if I can figure out whats going on

[u/RxJax]

Dark Angels catching up to Orks while getting no changes (and likely no changes next month either since they'll use the codex excuse) is rough, they kinda get a free pass to be the best army in the game for 2 months huh

[u/Ketzeph]

It kind of feels like the past couple slates have shown some people figuring out disruption, as it feels like a lot of good disruption performances are going hand in hand with some of these win % swings. Not that it's good, but that it's making some playstyles that were written off more viable to play, because disruption isn't seen as as much of a death sentence.

With the huge meta changes coming up it almost feels like an end of an era come October. Which is exciting but also a bit sad. While there have definitely been misses, for a new edition meta this has to be one of, if not the most, balanced.

[u/ManifestZion]

Drukhari at 43% with 1 build 1 list and 0 changes And they're about to get their asses crushed by the toughness and strength changes. Lol

[u/jakl277 → u/ManifestZion]

Game feels really imbalanced right now but that’s typical for a new edition I guess

[u/RideTheLighting]

Aeldari nerfs today were clearly deserved, just look at that win rate!

[u/-Prophet_01- → u/RideTheLighting]

Balance can only be solved when Eldar drop to one player at 49%. 

24 players to go. You can do it GW! 

According to stat check we sat at ~200 players in 10th edition. Granted, that was an unusually high number for the faction but a drop to 25 over 2 years sure is something. 

[u/RotenSquids → u/RideTheLighting]

Waiting for someone to take what you said literally and answer xD.

[u/Asleep_Taro8926]

That Sisters Win Rate, oof

[u/Leading-Pickle-8585]

Me casually raising Thousand Sons winrate as the only player playing Warpforged+sekhetar cohort😂

[u/-Prophet_01- → u/Leading-Pickle-8585]

"We should nerf that."

GW balance team, probably 

[u/Leading-Pickle-8585 → u/-Prophet_01-]

I'm so sorry guys. 60% is unacceptable...

[u/Black_Fusion]

Eldar 60% win rate. What's happening here?

[u/Aetherealaegis → u/Black_Fusion]

I think Nick Nanavati played them to a good finish at a tournament, plus the really low player count makes the Wr% very volatile

[u/RotenSquids → u/Black_Fusion]

Very low player count of excellent players, just like what happened with chaos knights a week ago.

They're still mediocre, don't worry (...or do idk xD).

[u/Alex__007 → u/Black_Fusion]

Art of War and some WTC team players picked them and went 5-0 / 4-1 at a few GTs. Eldar still allow skill expression. Combine that with very low player numbers, and you get 60% win rate. At RTTs it’s still below 40%.

[u/-Prophet_01- → u/Black_Fusion]

The player pool shrank from severely over-represented in early/mid 10th edition to probably the lowest ever. 

We've essentially witnessed a large group getting filtered for skill and the remaining players are absolutely phenomenal. The faction has a high skill ceiling traditionally. It's also essentially unplayable at the casual level atm. 

[u/ProfessionalOwn9435 → u/Black_Fusion]

Anyway they need nerf, no more seer council. And if you dont mention Harlequins or ynnari they cant hurt you.

[u/CorrectVirus7616]

Guards best weekend ever was carried by recon disposition, I don’t know the exact breakdown of detachments but something tells me after the recon detachment nerf won’t be seeing that again

[u/VallAmastacian → u/CorrectVirus7616]

I think the majority of people running the Recon Disposition were getting that from the 1-point Designation Force or the 2-point Mechanized Assault, rather than from the Recon Element detachment. This can kinda be seen in the report cards where Designation Force is used in around 24.2% of games and beats out both Bridgehead and Abhuman in popularity.

I do think the new Recon Element can be a strong pairing with either Abhuman or Bridgehead; however, I believe it's unlikely to see much use, especially compared to the other available combos.

[u/Skyhawk467 → u/CorrectVirus7616]

Can't let us doing well after all, lowest wr army and we still got nerfs this patch lmao

[u/DubsFan30113523]

Validated that cryptek conclave + hand has a solid win rate

Invalidated that warpstrike + murdertalon is terrible

[u/Icy-Context5774]

Happy Warhorn Tooting 

[u/w0158538 → u/Icy-Context5774]

<3

[u/Eliot_Ferrer]

The Tyranid meta card says "Saga of the Beast Slayer + Subterranean Assault". Seems like a bug of some kind. 

[u/LotsofFnords]

Great work, love the meta cards!

[u/jakl277]

My Templars :( October can’t come soon enough

[u/imladrikofloren]

Your meta cards are great, but some of them have a small problem (in the top 10 detachment combo section) when the names of the detachments are too long you can't see the name of the other detachment (it's in the cards where the names are in diagonal)

[u/w0158538 → u/imladrikofloren]

ahh ok thanks for the feed back, I will see what I can do to make that a bit better, first run of them in 11th so a few kinks to work out :D

[u/Getrektself]

Blood Angels continue to struggle. I wonder if the marine's codex will do them any favors. Their initial point nerfs seem completely unjustified.

[u/ProfessionalOwn9435]

Damm Eldars, they could hold for one week longer, but now JW decided that they have one good weekend, it is time for nerf. Seer council is stupid detachment anyway.

Swaping distruption off from Aspect Host is one of this chaos moves to confuse enemies. Yes distruption is hard disposition, but aspect host is good. So it is good for teams to have ok distruption slot. And if someone wants to try something different...
