Questions
- What are the best Aeldari units?
- The reviewers' average is S for Avatar of Khaine, Jain Zar. Then A: Fire Dragons, Howling Banshees, Dragon Knights, Eldrad Ulthran, Warlock Conclave and 10 more.
- What do the letters mean?
- Each letter is the average of the letters 7 reviewers gave that unit, S to D.
- What do SWORD and SHIELD mean?
- How much a unit kills and how hard it is to remove, for its points. Each is 0 to 100: where it ranks among the game's units of its kind: 90 is the top 10%, 20 the bottom 20%, and 50 is typical.
- Which Aeldari units do lists take most?
- Of 112 public lists: Avatar of Khaine (72), Rangers (59), Howling Banshees (58).
- Which Aeldari detachment do tournament lists take most?
- Armoured Warhost: 47 of the 112 Aeldari tournament lists of September – November 2026 took it.
Sources
- Letters
- Each letter is the reviewers' average. A dashed letter means no reviewer has rated that unit yet: it's our estimate, placed by its numbers among the army's reviewed units.
- SWORD and SHIELD
- Our own dice maths, last run 2 Nov 2026. Each 0 to 100 score is where it ranks among the game's units of its kind: 90 is the top 10%, 20 the bottom 20%. How we score.
- Reviewers
- The Aeldari sources we read, each counted once: tier lists, reviews of their own lists and written reviews. Their tiers are their own, put on our S to D scale by us (their top tier S, and so on down); we show how many gave each and their average.
