Damage per weapon

Each weapon on one model, into each target: wounds removed in one volley or one fight, with our own maths on the same table as above. Weapons with more than one profile show the best one for each target; the deepest blue cell is this unit's best weapon into that target.

Tier reads how often lists take it, with reviewers' lists and our maths. Damage and Toughness are our dice alone; Maths is our points-value model. How we score ›

Our Tier, and the sword and shield letters, compare units point for point within their army, from tournament results and the maths. They say nothing about whether a model is fun to field or worth painting: plenty of units outside the top letters win games in the right list.
