Warhammer 40k 9th Edition Top ITC Tournament Lists May 2023
Blood of Kittens attempts to provide continuous coverage of ITC events, in posts showcasing the Top 3 Warhammer 40k 9th edition army lists from the largest events. This particular post chronicles the largest events of May 2023.
9th edition is a land of changes, so with every new month comes new codexes, FAQs, and rules. Whenever you look at an army list keep in mind how quickly the game can change. In other words, a legal army today may become illegal tomorrow, along with events using special rules and/or restrictions.
May 2023 was the fourth month of the Warhammer 40k Arks of Omens 2023 season, it will be the last full month of events played in 9th edition as 10th edition is launched at the end of June. The only factions without any Top three placings were Grey Knights, Drukhari, Deathwatch, and Thousand Sons.
