The Hive Mind has Evolved: Warhammer 40k Tournament Results

by | Oct 9, 2023

Over the past weekend, 4 major Warhammer 40K events took place, with a minimum of 26 players participating in each event. The process of determining the top three players is based on their win records and total battle points, rather than the strength of their schedule. Throughout the weekend, a total of 27 Warhammer 40K 10th edition lists were featured, representing 15 distinct factions. Aeldari have finally fallen from their top perch, taking almost a month for the balance update to catch up. Unsurprisingly, Tyranids take first place thanks to having the only army with a codex, but of course, this should change in the next couple of weeks as Space Marines enter the codex fray.
