The Eye of Terror Shines Bright: Warhammer 40k Tournament Results

Over the past weekend, 4 major Warhammer 40K events took place, with a minimum of 26 players participating in each event. The process of determining the top three players is based on their win records and total battle points, rather than the strength of their schedule. Throughout the weekend, a total of 21 Warhammer 40K 10th edition lists were featured, representing 14 distinct factions. Aeldari barely held onto the top spot against fierce competition from Chaos Space Marines and Tyranids.

Army Breakdown (27 Lists, 4 with Allies) 

We are seeing a good mix of factions performing well, but we might still need some more point increases for Aeldari, as they are just a hair above the competition. We shall see if the new Space Marine codex will change the meta again, but from the looks of the previews, we will see lots of flexibility, but it seems the army might not pack enough lethality.
