Angels against the Chaos: Warhammer 40k Tournament Results

by | Mar 19, 2023

Last weekend, 15 large Warhammer 40K events took place, with at least 26 players competing in five rounds. A total of 45 lists were used, with 19 different factions represented. The tide turned with Dark Angels and Chaos Daemons holding court against World Eaters and the Astra Militarum. If you add in the rest of the Space Marine factions, you will find they took over a third of the possible podiums from the weekend.

With Chaos Daemons, World Eaters, and to a lesser extent, the Imperial Guard doing very well with a stripped-down codex, we have to start wondering if the way forward in the 10th edition will be this new format. Hopefully, the days of being forced to have multiple rule packets across multiple books and online resources are a thing of the past.
