I hear people talking about tier I or 3 armies. What does this mean?

Congratulations, your dismissive and conclusory commentary has provided nothing to this discussion or the wider community on whose behalf you arrogantly presume to speak nor does it engage in any meaningful way the remark it lamely targets. But you did manage to gain experience points toward your next level of internet tough guy.

Somewhere.

Essentially how powerful an army is. In theory a tier 1 army, assembled and played correctly, will always defeat a tier 3 army even if that one has been made as best as possible as well.

Often these are certain builds within an army rather than an actual army itself, though, such as Duel Lash. Orks possibly being an exception...it's difficult to mess them up, apparently.

Hmmm....

Can someone list the armies in each tier?

A new day, a new time zone.

It's not a formal ranking, so to a certain extent it's a matter of opinion.
