Calm Before the LVO: Warhammer 40k Tournament Results

Over the past weekend, 9 large Warhammer 40K events took place, each with a minimum of 26 players. 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 48 Warhammer 40K 10th edition army lists were featured, representing 20 distinct factions. January is set to feature a wealth of tournaments, and the new year got off to a great start with large events and the return of the Warhammer 40k poster boys, Space Marines and Orks, to the top of the winning pile.

The following results are from the weekend of January 11th and 12th.
