Mixed Meta Bag: Warhammer 40k Tournament Results

Last weekend saw 10 large Warhammer 40k tournaments with at least 28 players and 5 rounds. The meta is all over the place, but that is a good thing, as no one faction is dominating. We can see anticipation of upcoming nerfs, as armies like Chaos Deamons become not as prevalent. Even with all that said Tyranids continued to lead the pack, scoring the most podiums with five from the weekend.

Leagues of Votann and Astra Militarum continue to creep in the background, as players get models painted up and events vacillate between allowing and not allowing the new Imperial Guard. We will see a drop off in events as we get closer to Christmas, so it is uncertain if we will get a good idea on what the full 9th edition release meta will look like to end the year.
