While it still looks like Drukhari will need some nerfing, at least the last few weeks have shown players making adjustments and taking the fight to the pointy eared slave traders. We saw no Drukhari taking a 1st place, but a lot of silver metals. We did get a Space Marine resurgence, with Dark Angels to Ultramarines winning events.

The winning lists were sorta a good microcosm of the current state of the meta, with very few outlier armies winning, but a core of consistent performers for the year so far. If you though take a deep dive into the lists, you will see some fun things going on, like Warp Spiders, Inquisitors, Telemons. Look for the meta to change yet AGAIN as Ad-Mech 9th edition codex is finally just around for the corner in time for the summer months.
