Celestantpants Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Hey guys, what would your take be on a AOS tier list currently and why would you rank armies where you rank them? This is just a fun though exercise, and I'm curious as to what people's opinions are on the current standings of armies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barkanaut Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 (edited) Kharadron are one of only 2 F tier (by a mile) factions. It’s pretty widely known. Most others are midtiers with a few broken armies. I don’t see our prospects improving with a new book.

I haven’t kept up with the scene for obvious reasons. Oh Idoneth deepkin is a tier but not s. Gloomspire Gits a solid b. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eevika Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 S Tier : is Slaneesh and Bonereapers A Tier : Skaven, CoS, FeC, Ironjaws B Tier : Idoneth, Fyreslayers, Gitz, Khorne Then we have everything else. Thats my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrix Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 (edited) We're supposedly getting the Winter FAQ in the next week based on new rumors so this will probably change very soon but off the top of my head and restricted by armies I'm at least somewhat familiar with: S Tier: Slaanesh, Bonereapers (PE) Tier 1: FEC, DoK (Hagg-Narr), Skaven (meta list-Cannons, Plague monks, ect) Tier 2: Idoneth (with eels), Fyreslayers, Blades of Khorne, CoS, Orruk Warclans, Gloomspite Gitz(Git spam/endless spells) Tier 3: Maggotkin, Gloomspite Gitz (not Git spam), Mawtribes, Tzeentch Lolz Tier: Prebook STD I think once the Winter FAQ drops I'll sit down and actually write out a full, thought out tier list predictions.

Dead Scribe Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Khadron Overlords are also Lolz tier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadeton Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Are Kharadrons really a separate army at this point? I thought people just included them as part of Tempest's Eye CoS armies, which seems to make them pretty strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Scribe Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 They have their own book so I'd say yes they are their own force. A lolz force that no one would ever field because they are as bad as the StD army was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InSaint Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I guess when the stockpile for Slannesh Keeper of Secrets and OB dwindles, they will also drop down to Tier 1/2. 🤣 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123lac Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 There's a meta analysis floating around on the internet with a few thousand matches worth of data to back it up. Too lazy to find it and re-post it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barkanaut Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 No rumors or picks of KO. Allegedly getting book in February. I got a bad feeling KO are going to be dunked on and lolz tier for another 4 years then GW will use it as an excuse to squat them. At this point KO fans have been dragged through the mud and expect the worst. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GW's fault for making it and tricking us if they felt that. If they don't want shooting to be strong update us with proper melee units to help us. Sucks the ships will die in the fire but at least we'll be balanced and a good faction again, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im a KO fan and while i agree they are not very competitive right now, im sure thisll be fixed whenever their new book comes out. And considering the army is only two and a half years old they can afford to wait a bit longer. I think Seraphon and Tzeentch should be ahead of KOs in the queue by virtue of being older. I certainly dont feel likd GW has dragged me through the mud! 😀 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whispersofblood Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Are we talking today looking backwards or as it is right now? Looking backwards it hard to disagree with HoS being top of the pile. But, going forward, strictly competitve builds its probably something like Top: Big Waagh Bone Splitters Ossiarch Bonereapers Cities of Sigmar Iron Jaws Daughters of Khaine Hedonites/Maw Tribes Skaven Flesh Eater Courts The Rest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do know a nerf is coming but not what it will be exactly. I wouldn't say equal, but against the stuff above them probably roughly in the same area. HoS are probably the most oppressive gatekeeper the game has seen yet, but they don't hav to tools the fight the stuff above them. I'm hedging a bit on DoK, but realistically the 3 of them are probably very close to each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
