The Unbreakable Few

Death Guard/Flyblown Host + Death Lord's Chosen/Strike ForceShared

Extreme Terminator deathball — two 10-man Blightlord squads plus three Deathshroud units. Hits hard but has very few bodies, so it can struggle with objective presence against cheap scoring armies.

The read

Anti-infantry sits in the top 1%, spread across the list; mobility is in the bottom 6%.

«the top 1%» means above roughly 100% of sampled reference list shapes for that capability — a comparison, never win odds.

Shapevs the p50 ring

The shape, not the verdict. Area is not a score — two lists with the same area can play nothing alike. The bars beside it are the reading that counts, and each spoke is this list's percentile under baseline assumptions.

Fit is about list shape, not about what you will draw. A «difficult» card is still scorable — it just needs the game to go your way.
