Six Warmachine Armies with 5–0 Results at WTC 2026

Looking for a Warmachine army with tournament results behind it? These six examples offer a useful starting point. Our takeaway is that there are several armies worth exploring before deciding what to collect. A successful player’s record can inspire your research; it cannot tell you which army you will enjoy most.

Which Warmachine armies recorded 5–0 results at WTC 2026?

Longshanks lists WTC 2026 as a finished, rated five-player team championship in Poland, held on 10–11 October, with 48 teams and 240 players. Its results page shows the following individual records.

Source: Longshanks’ WTC 2026 entries on the results page. These are six selected examples from armies in our catalogue, not a complete list of undefeated players. Other armies also appear with 5–0 records.

Does an undefeated result make an army the best choice?

It gives you a reason to investigate that army. It does not settle the buying decision. An individual result combines the player, their lists and the opponents they faced. The table above deliberately selects successful records; it contains none of those armies’ losses elsewhere at the event.

WTC’s team format also matters. Longshanks records team results separately from individual results. We would therefore avoid treating this selection as a prediction for your next local singles tournament. To compare armies properly, you would need the full set of relevant games, the number of players using each army and a consistent date range and format.

Our advice: use these results to build a shortlist, then compare the models, playstyles and learning commitment. An army you want to paint and practise with is a more useful purchase than a list you cannot explain.

What do these armies look like?

Here are real product photographs from Toy Snowman’s catalogue. They show sets associated with the six armies above. These are shopping starting points, not the players’ submitted WTC lists or photographs from the event.

Some listings retain older Command Cadre names. Steamforged’s Command Starter update maps Foulblood’s Armada to Brineblood Marauders and Shard Nocturnes to Shadowflame Shard. Check each product’s contents and the current army rules before choosing a set.

How can you turn a tournament result into a sensible army plan?

1. Choose two armies that interest you. Use our Warmachine army quiz to explore your preferences, then compare them with the results above.
2. Look for a plan you can describe. When a submitted list is available on Longshanks, ask what scores objectives, what handles difficult targets and which models provide support. A shopping list becomes more useful when you understand each model’s job.
3. Check the list against today’s rules. The event happened in October. The official Warmachine app provides free rules, model information and army-building tools. Rebuild an older list there before buying models for it; confirm your event’s requirements too.
4. Buy in stages. Start with a manageable force, play games and identify what you need next. Our army expansion guide helps you explore additions while accounting for boxes you already own.

Is a Longshanks player rating the same as an army win rate?

No. Longshanks’ rating explanation describes a player measure based on results and opposition, with an adjustment for players who have recorded relatively few games. Its default rating window uses rated events from the past year. An army win rate answers a different question: how often that army won within a defined set of games.

That distinction is why this article reports specific event records. It makes no claim about a current global tier list, and an army’s absence from our selection says nothing about whether you should play it.
