Questions
What are the best Orks units?
The creators' average is S for Warboss, Ghazghkull Thraka, Gretchin. Then A: Tankbustas, Deffkoptas, Meganobz, Flash Gitz, Big Mek Dakkarig and 5 more.
What do the letters mean?
Each letter is a weighted average of the letters up to 9 creators gave that unit, S to D: full reviews and tier lists count more than a single list.
What do SWORD and SHIELD mean?
Our own dice math against 100 top tournament lists. SWORD is the points of a top tournament army it removes per 100 of its own points each time it acts, picking its targets sensibly from a real list, with its melee counted by how often it gets into combat; SHIELD is how much of a top tournament army's turn it takes to wipe out 100 points of it, its own healing played between turns. Each comes with where it ranks among the game's units of its kind.
Which Orks units do lists take most?
Of 432 public lists: Gretchin (418), Big Mek Dakkarig (247), Warboss (239).
Which Orks detachment do tournament lists take most?
Wreckas: 189 of the 432 Orks tournament lists of September – November 2026 took it.

Letters
Each letter is a weighted average of the creators' letters: full reviews and tier lists count more than a single list. A dashed letter means no creator has rated that unit yet: it's our estimate, placed by SWORD and SHIELD only among the army's creator-rated units.
SWORD and SHIELD
Our own dice math, last run 2 Nov 2026. Both are shown scaled: SWORD is 0.8832 × the points it removes, SHIELD 2097.5 × the share of a turn, so a typical unit's SHIELD reads about 333. SWORD is the points of a top tournament army it removes per 100 of its own points each time it acts, picking its targets sensibly from a real list, with its melee counted by how often it gets into combat; SHIELD is how much of a top tournament army's turn it takes to wipe out 100 points of it, its own healing played between turns. Each is averaged over 100 top lists from the last three months, leaving out the most extreme tenth at each end; each is shown with where it ranks among the game's units of its kind (top 10%, bottom 20%): shooters beside shooters, melee units beside melee units, a unit built to support beside every unit. How we score.
Creators
The Orks creators who know the game best, 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 the letter they add up to.Questions? Get in touch.
