by | May 14, 2023

Last weekend, eight large Warhammer 40K events took place, with at least 26 players competing in five rounds. A total of 24 lists were used, with 16 different factions represented. The Imperial Guard fell off for no apparent reason, while Blood Angels made a surprise return to the top of the charts. Parity also showed up, as no faction had more than three podium finishes.
