- 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 Astra Militarum 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.
