Competitive Innovations in 9th: Guns and Goffs pt.1

It would appear that Guard players as a whole think they've sneaked under GW's winrate radar for long enough, because it's another big week for them - but Arks is still throwing curveballs at us. This week it's the...

Competitive Innovations in 9th: Peak Warhammer pt.1

How about those Arks of Omen, eh? People sure do seem to love them. This past weekend is, I think, the biggest for tournament play we've ever had other than LGT or LVO weekends, and terrifyingly that's not counting the 300-player...

Competitive Innovations in 9th: Nephilim is LVOver

This weekend a momentous event took place - I took a Wraithknight to a GT and... **Extremely Loud Incorrect Buzzer** Rob is looking at me from the other side of the (very real) Goonhammer offices and shaking his head, which I...

Competitive Innovations in 9th: Major Mayhem pt.2

Major Mayhem continues, despite it disappointingly not being the month of May. Someone should get on that. Today we've got three more of aforesaid majors to take a look at, and two GTs - the Mother of all Battles...

Competitive Innovations in 9th: Major Mayhem pt.1

The last few weeks were very much the calm before the storm - this weekend was one of the biggest yet in 9th, with well over a thousand players participating in GT+ events, the first Goonhammer Open in Canada,...

The 40k FAQ Update Hot Take: September 21, 2022

Another Codex, another updated FAQ. This time we're once again returning to the Imperial Armour Compendium, this time updating the datasheets for the forces of Chaos with new rules to reflect the recent Codex: Chaos Daemons release. As always,...

Competitive Innovations in 9th: Joker Mode pt.2

As mentioned yesterday, there's been quite a few events this week, so we've split the post up. Today we'll look at: Fool's Errand (Major) Grand Onslaught 3 Black Heart GT ...
