by EverAdmin4December is over, and the end of 2024 leads the way to a new year full of exciting battles in Warhammer The Horus Heresy: Legions! Before lunging into battle, let’s take a look at the numbers from the last month of competitive play in Low Terra (rating 2500-3800) and High Terra (rating 3800+). A new Warmaster has taken the title, and if you want to be the next in line, read on to find out what you are more likely to face on the battlefield. Information is lifeblood in a Galaxy full of threats.
Low Terra
The ritual continues as Lorgar takes conquers Low Terra’s ladder! He’s the only Warlord who has been able to put a stop to the sudden Blackshields uprising that’s taken over the meta. The following three spots have been snatched by the new Blackshields: Endryd Haar, Erud Vahn and Kitur Neferis, each boasting a sizable Win Rate. Konrad Curze, last month’s Low Terra champion, gets relegated to the tail of the top 5, biding his time to recover the crown.
Outside the top five, a few warlords demonstrated noteworthy performances. Sevatar boasts an impressive 59% win rate, albeit with a modest 1.8% use rate. Similarly, Hvarl Redblade and Ka’Bandha stood out with 61% and 60% win rates, respectively, while Lucretia Elunnirai achieved the highest win rate on this list at 62%. In the right hands, any Warlord can leave a mark in this galaxy’s neverending struggle.

High Terra
The Blackshields have bent High Terra’s meta to their will. Kitur Nerferis stands out as the most used and highest-performing warlord, with Endryd Haar following behind boasting a very strong performance as well. Lorgar also remains a top contender, conquering the third place. Marius Gage, which was fairly absent in High Terra during last month, returns with a vengeance in pursue of the Word Bearers, claiming the highest Win Rate of all of High Terra. Once again, Konrad Curze closes the top 5 with a very solid performance during the last month of 2024.

The Dark Angels have also returned to the spotlight, with Lion El’Jonson and Aloceri becoming competent sleeper picks during last meta.

With all of the main Tempest expansion content out in the wild, the meta has started to settle, and the Blackshields are certainly leaving their mark on the meta.

Meanwhile, there is a whole year of battles ahead in this era of rebellion and insurgency! Have you built a new deck for January’s season? Which Warlord will you champion in your next battle?
