Welcome to the Random Meta: Warhammer 40k Tournament Results

by | Feb 20, 2025

Over the past weekend, 8 large Warhammer 40K events took place, each with a minimum of 26 players. 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 24 Warhammer 40K 10th edition army lists were featured, representing 15 distinct factions. As we wait to see if the Aeldari have any effect on the meta, the game continues to lack a single dominant faction, resulting in a more balanced and varied meta—which is a good thing.

The following results are from the weekend of February 15th and 16th .
