A list counts as winning when it went undefeated or lost once. The feed carries no losing lists, so no share on this page is a win rate.

## One page per faction

The field, one faction at a time: builds, the consensus list and the models, on a page you can link to.

## How Meta Merge reads the meta

Read the 40k meta in 11th edition from recent winning tournament lists, merged by build down to the models.

### What you choose

You paste nothing here: pick a faction from the ranked field or the picker. The Events switch applies to every section: GT only by default, or + RTTs to add smaller events. You start on the faction's largest detachment build. Pick another to read its list, models and sources.

### What you get

Read the field as a 40k tier list drawn from results, not opinion: factions ranked by their share of winning lists, with momentum over the last two weeks. Each build shows its share of the faction's winners, record, top force disposition and biggest win. Meta Merge sorts the chosen build's units into three tiers by take rate: spine at 80% of lists or more, flex at 35% or more, the rest tech. You get each datasheet's usual model count. Export consensus .rosz sends one merged list to the [converter](/convert).

### Where the data comes from

Lists come from [listhammer.info](https://listhammer.info): events on Best Coast Pairings and Tabletop Herald. Winners are lists that went undefeated or lost once. Model counts use the 11th edition catalogue: a datasheet's fixed size, else the unit size priced closest to its points, else the list's own count if it meets the minimum size. Unreadable lists count as winners but stay out of the merge.

### § Questions

What is the current 40k meta in 11th edition?

Meta Merge ranks factions by their share of recent undefeated and one-loss tournament lists, with each faction's top build and momentum.

Where can I find winning 40k tournament lists?

Pick a faction and a build: the sources section shows every list behind the numbers, largest event first, and you can open one in the converter.

Is share of winners the same as a 40k win rate?

No. The feed holds only undefeated and one-loss lists. A share is a faction's part of those 40k winning lists, or a build's part of its faction's.

How often is the tournament data updated?

Every six hours. The page shows the last update time in UTC and marks the data as stale after a day.

Can I export a winning meta list to newrecruit.eu?

Yes. Export consensus .rosz sends the converter one list, trimmed to fit 2,000 points, with each unit at its most common copy count and loadout. Download it there as a .rosz for newrecruit.eu.
