The Final Stretch for 9th Edition Begins: Warhammer 40k Tournament Results

Last weekend, 11 large Warhammer 40K events took place, with at least 26 players competing in five rounds. A total of 33 lists were used, with 16 different factions represented. The Dark Angels made a final showing with the most top places, followed by the Imperial Guard. However, this is expected to change in one week when nerfs to both of these factions take effect at almost all events.

Army Breakdown (33 Lists, 1 Mixed List)

A new development we might see in the coming weeks is the resurgence of Necrons, who have mostly disappeared since their secondaries got hit. Now that Dark Angels, Space Marines, and Imperial Guard have been targeted by the last balance update for this edition, we can expect to see factions like Tyranids and Deathwatch gaining some ground. The factions that didn’t get hit stand to gain the most though, with Chaos Daemons, Genestealer Cults, and World Eaters having the most potential for improvement.

Here are also the results from the one event we had over the Easter weekend before…
