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 June 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.  

June 2023 was the fifth and final month of the Warhammer 40k Arks of Omens 2023 season, it marks the end of 9th edition and all these results bellow might also spill into July just to make sure we got all 9th lists in. The factions without any Top three placings were Adepta Sororitas, Chaos Space Marines, Adeptus Mechanicus, Death Guard, Dark Angels, Thousand Sons, Deathwatch, and Blood Angels.
