Questions
What are the best Chaos Daemons units?
The reviewers' average is S for Epidemius. Then A: Rendmaster on Blood Throne, Slaanesh Soul Grinder, Skulltaker, Syll'esske, Skullmaster and 11 more.
What do the letters mean?
Each letter is the average of the letters 7 reviewers gave that unit, S to D. A dashed letter means no reviewer has rated the unit yet, so it's our estimate from SWORD, SHIELD and roles, placed among the army's reviewed units.
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 Chaos Daemons units do lists take most?
Of 159 public lists: Flesh Hounds (97), Skarbrand (86), Rendmaster on Blood Throne (81).
Which Chaos Daemons detachment do tournament lists take most?
Warptide: 82 of the 159 Chaos Daemons tournament lists of September – November 2026 took it.

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 Chaos Daemons 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.A reviewer who would rather not be counted: tell us and we take their letters out.
