You Won't Believe the Shocking Old World Stats in 2025 | Warhammer the Old World | Square Based Show

It's time for the numbers! In this episode, Rob and Val dive deep into the tournament results for Warhammer: The Old World since the release of the Match Play Guide. We've got the graphs and stats to break it all down! We'll explore why stats matter, our methodology for collecting data, and then get into the good stuff: Which armies are the most popular? Which factions have the highest win rates? And what is the "Positive Win Rate Potential" (PWRP) of your favorite army (and what is Positive Win Rate Potential anyway)? From the dominance of Grand Cathay to the struggles of the Skaven, we cover it all!
