The Final Weeks of 9th Begin Now: Warhammer 40k Tournament Results

by | Jun 4, 2023

Last weekend, six large Warhammer 40K events took place, with at least 26 players competing in five rounds. A total of 12 lists were used, with 9 different factions represented. Games Workshop experienced lackluster attendance for their first event, possibly due to everyone eagerly anticipating the arrival of the 10th edition. Nonetheless, Chaos Daemons emerged as the dominant force in this relatively quiet weekend for events.

With the announcement of the 10th edition coming out in two weeks, we can expect the focus to shift completely towards the new edition. However, that doesn’t mean tournaments will suddenly start running events using the new rules. We should anticipate a delay in the transition to the new edition, as events will need to decide what is best for their specific circumstances until the new rules become fully established.
