Best cavalry in Warhammer 3 by the numbers

Melee and monstrous cavalry of every race with the biggest charge, the most speed, attack, health and mass, and the most health per 1,000 gold. Patch 9.0.2.

COMPUTEDTop 10 per list across every race, one row per unit (its versions — “Hammerers (Grudge Settlers)” — count once). Base values at Ultra unit size, rank 0 — skills, technologies, items and abilities change them in battle. “Per 1,000 gold” uses the multiplayer cost. Lords, heroes and Regiments of Renown are left out. Not a tier list: a unit good at one thing can be poor at another; open it to see the whole card, or try it in the combat calculator.
