The feed carries no losing lists, so no share on it is a win rate. 2 lists could not be read and are counted as winners but left out of the merges. 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. 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. Model counts come from the 11th edition catalogue, not from how an export spells its models out. [Genestealer Cult Meta](/metamerge/genestealer-cult) [Orks Meta ](/metamerge/orks)
