Warhammer 40k 9th Edition Top ITC Tournament Lists May 2022
Blood of Kittens attempts to provide continuous coverage of ITC events, in posts showcasing the Top 3 Warhammer 40k 9th edition army lists from the largest events. This particular post chronicles the largest events of May 2022 including LVO 2022.
9th edition is a land of changes, so with every new month comes new codexes, FAQs, and rules. Whenever you look at an army list keep in mind how quickly the game can change. In other words, a legal army today may become illegal tomorrow, along with events using special rules and/or restrictions.
May 2022 saw the full effects of both the new Tyranids codex and Balance Datasheet which has changed the meta a lot and very little at the same time.
