Drukhari continue their dominance taking number one in four of the 11 events. Surprisingly though we see Imperial Knights do well, maybe a bit of counter meta going on? We also get the rarest of sightings and a Tau army taking second place in a event! Again, Dark Angels are not performing as well as people have expected, along with Death Guard doing marginally better, and it doesn’t hurt throwing Morty into a soup list and calling it a day. I am not ready to say that Drukhari need the nerf bat already, but they certainly needs an FAQ, something that should have been out weeks ago, but for some reason Games Workshop has supply chains to untangle instead.

As it is the spread of armies is still pretty good, but with the release schedule hit hard and parts of the world still in lockdown it is hard to get a good feel on exactly where the game is almost one year into 9th edition.
