Nineteen Battles Since August – A Quick Look at Michał’s Old World Stats
Sometimes we start digging into our hobby notes and suddenly it turns into a tiny stats project. That’s exactly what happened here.
Michał went back through his games from the last several months and, after a small correction, summed up his Warhammer: The Old World results since August. The original charts got removed because they were missing a few battles, so rather than pretending the first version was good enough, he cleaned it up and went back to the raw numbers.
In the end, the total came out to 19 battles played since August.
A couple of fun patterns showed up immediately:
- Almost half of those games were at 500 points
- The most common opponent was, unsurprisingly, Goblins
- The army Michał used most often was Chaos Dwarfs
- And yet the best win rate came from Cathay, sitting at 75%
Which, as Michał very scientifically concluded, means it’s a pretty absurd army.
We always enjoy this kind of hobby bookkeeping, even when it starts with: “wait, these stats are wrong, I forgot some games.” Honestly, that just makes it feel more real. Small local games, lots of 500-point battles, recurring matchups, and slowly building a picture of what actually gets played the most — that’s the kind of meta snapshot we like.
What we like most here is that the “most played” army and the “most successful” army were not the same thing. Chaos Dwarfs got the table time, but Cathay brought the results. That’s exactly the sort of thing that only shows up once we track games over a longer stretch.
If Michał keeps updating the numbers, we’ll gladly read the next version too — preferably with all the battles included this time.
