Competitive Innovations in 10th: Showdowns and Supermajors

Competitive Innovations in 10th: Slain by an Elf

OK so the good news first - a reasonable number of TOs have rushed to adopt last week's balance changes, so this week's results are somewhat less elf-oriented. Only somewhat though - between a mixture of some events not updating,...

Competitive Innovations in 10th: Aeldari Annihilation

That's annihilation by Aeldari, not annihilation of Aeldari, to be clear. We're in week one of full 10th Edition, and let's be honest that it's a little bit of a false start, because late last week we received both the Leviathan Tournament Companion...

Competitive Termination of 9th Edition: Dawn of 10th

9th Edition takes its final bow this week, and there's not going to be an encore because it's 10th time. Most events the past weekend ran with 9th, but a couple of intrepid TOs pushed forward into the glorious...

Krootcon Down Under – Am I getting good at this?

Back in July, after Gonghammer, I was a tired old man. My first 40k event in years, and I was exhausted. With a sigh of relief and a grunt of effort, I freed a finger from my bags of...

Competitive Innovations in 9th: Grand Showdown pt.2

Welcome back to part 2 of this week's column, looking at what I think is a Friday record of 6 events (after shuffling to make space for the US Open Showdowns on Wednesday). We're going to be straight into...

Competitive Innovations in 9th: Grand Showdown pt.1

Warhammer - it's the thing that is happening. A lot. Tempting though it is to had the reins to Falcon once more just to see whether he could stretch a Beetleborgs theme out to 10+ events, it's me Wings, I'm...
