The Grey Metal Armies Clash: Warhammer 40k Tournament Results

Over the past weekend, 12 large 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 36 Warhammer 40K 10th edition lists were featured, representing ?? distinct factions. With spring about to be sprung, we are seeing a shifting meta as the Necrons hold steady at the top of the pack. But every week, we see a different faction challenging them for the top dog spot. This weekend, the Grey Knights won the biggest events. Grey Knights have been performing well since the balance sheet, but this jump seems somewhat unexpected, if not for the European players coordinating in many of these events.

Army Breakdown (36 Lists, 10 with Allies) 

One of the unsung stories of the last few months has been Drukhari starting to percolate in the standings, with quite a few good showings. Even better, they are doing it without Aeldari allies to help. Overall, with all the crying coming from the Tau community with the release of the new codex, we can expect them to be broken if current whining trends continue.
