As you can see not much has changed since LVO 2022 with the usual suspects still winning, but Adeptus Custodes are clearly one of the best armies, and with what we have seen from Tau and Eldar leaks, they should still hold their own. Drukhari should finally start falling behind as more popular builds just getting hit with the latest balance update. The biggest question is just how much Tau will hurt Tyranids before they get their codex in a few months.
