Of the list of winners, Orks have to be the biggest surprise. With almost every other faction above Orks getting knocked down a bit, maybe this is a case of armies come down to their level. We also got hints of things we already suspected, like Sisters of Battle winning events and looking to be the possible new boogeyman for the meta going forward.
