Holding off the Clowns: Warhammer 40k Tournament Results

We had eight large Warhammer 40k tournaments over the last weekend, and while Murder Clowns did their thing, we actually had some great results from a few events. Most amazing had to be Blood Angels taking a 1st place, along with them Orks and Grey Knights coming along for the ride.

Look for things to change in about two weeks, as new Tyranids will start showing up along with the just announced Harlequin nerfs coming in the next week. Any changes to Custodes and Tau though will though really determine if we can have a health varied meta again!
