Space Dwarves Return: Warhammer 40k Tournament Results

by | May 7, 2023

Last weekend, 30 large Warhammer 40K events took place, with at least 26 players competing in five rounds. A total of 30 lists were used, with 16 different factions represented. Dark Angels have really fallen off since the balance update, while the Imperial Guard still hold the line. However, the surprise of the week comes from the Legions of Votann, tying for the most podiums with the Imperial Guard.

Chaos Daemons should really end 9th edition in style, with lists featuring a lot of variety, and the hits to all Space Marines should help them continue to rise. It was also a pleasant surprise to see the Adeptus Custodes do well, who were aided by the balance datasheet hits to all their competitors being taken down a notch.

Here are also the results from the previous week that I missed because I was on holiday…
