[Every faction's best against Knights](/listcheck/best-against/knights)

##  How the units are scored

Each unit is simulated alone against a fresh target, 2,000 times for its shooting and 2,000 times for its fighting, by the engine behind [List Check](/listcheck). Each table ranks one phase: a unit's shooting alone, or its melee alone. A score is how much of the target it removes in one turn in that phase (1 is the whole unit, and no more is counted), and Per 100 pts divides that by the unit's points. A model fires its pistols or its other guns, not both.

Units come at the size and in the loadout the faction's winning tournament lists run most, from the [Meta Merge](/metamerge) feed of 2026-10-07. A unit no winning list fields comes at its smallest size in default wargear, marked †. The faction's army rule applies wherever it needs no situation; detachment rules, enhancements, stratagems and attached leaders do not, and every unit is in range and in the open. To score a whole list, with its detachment and leaders, paste it into [List Check](/listcheck).
