Cruelty and deception take the battlefield by storm in this month’s meta report

The first ranked season of 2026 has come to an end! Following the arrival of their Primarch, the Ultramarines remain the most popular faction across both game modes, with Roboute Guilliman leading the charge as the preferred pick. Lucius’ superior swordsmanship (and the balance changes to his opponents) land him the first place in the Skirmish ladder, while Primus Saffa Rhiannor emerges as the premier Legendary Classic pick at an exceptional 64.4% win rate.

Let’s take a look at how all factions behaved during the last season! Bear in mind, to keep the list readable, we have limited the number of Warlords shown per table to the top 30, so your favourite one might not show up this month.
