Lots of Blood for the Blood God: Warhammer 40k Tournament Results

by | Nov 7, 2023

Over the past weekend, 12 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 36 Warhammer 40K 10th edition lists were featured, representing 18 distinct factions. Aeldari still did their thing, but Chaos Space Marines and the surprising World Eaters outperformed recent weeks to really win the weekend.

We’ve achieved our first Drukhari GT win in a long time, and they did it without any assistance from Aeldari units. The Tyranids also made a return, but after a promising start when the new codex was released, they have struggled to gain momentum. Dark Angels and Space Wolves have emerged as the biggest winners so far with the new Space Marine Codex, but it remains to be seen whether they will retain those rules when supplements are released.
