Aeldari Rise, but Diversity Continues!: Warhammer 40k Tournament Results

Last weekend had 9 large events with over 28 players and at least 5 rounds. The Aeldari faction dominated with help from there sub factions, even with a Ynnari sighting. Otherwise we had mix of armies moved in and out of the Top 3 podiums and no one army grabbing more than 2 spots, besides Aeldari. Last Overall, the diversity of the winners is still pretty good as the Warhammer 40k meta continues to surprise.

Kind of out of the blue, Aeldari come in with nine placings and four 1st place spots, but half of the spots were thanks to Ynnari and Harlequins. It is also interesting to see Imperial Knights move back in with some podiums, with now two weeks of no Chaos Knight sightings, which seem to be effected the most by the CP reductions from Nephilim. Sisters just can’t seem to breakthrough and control the current meta, which makes me wonder if just not enough good players have the models to make the most abusive lists still. As well, Necrons might be also effected by the boring playstyle the best lists the faction has; keeping them from truly challenging the best in faction ranks.
