Very few bright spots with the current Warhammer 40k 10th edition meta, with the exception of Necrons really starting to show their mettle, placing more and more in events. Tyranids also seem to be getting more play of late as well, but the nerfs to Aeldari can’t come fast enough. Games Workshop should really do something now instead of waiting for September.
