B dashed: no reviewers yet, so it's our estimate. Each unit: its points and how many of the army's 89 public lists take it, Sep–Nov 2026.

Letters from reviewers; Damage and Toughness (SWORD and SHIELD on unit pages) from our own dice maths (how we score). Lists: grimstat-corpus (CC BY 4.0), September – November 2026. Also from Listhammer. Organisers and players: ask us and we'll take a list or an event down. Sources

Questions
What are the best Thousand Sons units?
The reviewers' average is S for Magnus the Red. Then A: Sekhetar Robots, Scarab Occult Terminators, Infernal Master, Mutalith Vortex Beast, Sorcerer and 2 more.
What do the letters mean?
Each letter is the average of the letters 5 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 Thousand Sons units do lists take most?
Of 89 public lists: Rubric Marines (69), Scarab Occult Terminators (66), Sorcerer in Terminator Armour (64).
Which Thousand Sons detachment do tournament lists take most?
Grand Coven: 38 of the 89 Thousand Sons tournament lists of September – November 2026 took it.

SWORD and SHIELD

Reviewers
The Thousand Sons 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.
