How this is computed

A list counts here when it went undefeated or lost once at a Grand Tournament in the weeks the feed covers; the smaller events the tool can add are left out of this page. The feed carries no losing lists, so no share on it is a win rate.

The list is sorted by take rate across the build's readable lists: a datasheet in 80% of them or more is spine, 35% or more is flex, and the rest is tech — one player's answer to one matchup. A datasheet tagged Staple is taken by at least 50% of the readable lists in each of the faction's largest builds (up to 3, each with 5 or more readable lists).

The consensus list takes the number of copies and the loadout most of those lists run for each datasheet, then drops the least-shared datasheets until it fits 2,000 points. Prices are today's points, not what the lists printed. Model counts come from the 11th edition catalogue, not from how an export spells its models out.
