Unofficial fan reference · game data patch 9.0.2 (Oct 1, 2026)

Best ranged units in Warhammer 3 by the numbers

Missile infantry and cavalry of every race with the most damage per 10 s, the longest range, the most ammunition and the most damage 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.

Most missile damage per 10 s
