Competitive Innovations in 10th: Grey Nice

We're in a bit of a holding pattern this week, as there weren't too many big events and (as sometimes happens when a balance update hits) people have fallen back on some reliably brutal builds to stomp on anyone...

Competitive Innovations in 10th: A Challenger Approaches pt.1

You're all at it again, I see. It's another bumper-sized 15-event week, so we're once again going for three parts. Plenty of the usual suspects are out and about, slamming a last few games in the pre-dataslate world, but...

Competitive Innovations in 10th: Five Alarm Phaerons pt.2

Part the second, in which there is more Warhammer. Controversial I know. We've got more Necrons, but we've also got those brutal Space Marines I promised yesterday, plus some great showings from Aeldari, Genestealer Cults and more. Let's dig...

Competitive Innovations in 10th: The Meta Adepts pt.1

Big events all over the shop this week, with blockbusters in each of the US, UK and Europe. The metagame continues to shift week-to-week - Necrons are definitely stalwarts right now, but this week the T'au are on the...

Competitive Innovations in 10th: The Imperium Strikes Back pt.2

Wings update - still sick. That means no pithy intro, straight into the content. You love content. Today you will have Lowest of Men as normal, covering: OPEN "ATLAVERA" 2024 (IBERIAN OPEN) Talvisota - Winter Assault 2024 JP CUP Toys...

Competitive Innovations in 10th: Chewing the Scenery pt.1

It's a particularly nefarious week out there. The Necrons, an entire culture built around emulating Starscream, re-assert their dominance after a mild wobble, and the World Eaters blast to some top finishes, shaking off whatever shackles the (fairly substantial)...

Competitive Innovations in 10th: Dressed for Success pt.2

More Warhammer, all of the time. That's the slogan we're going with at the moment. It's Lowest of Men in charge today, covering: The South-Coast UKTC Supermajor MidtconGT Warhammer 40.000 Spring tournament Wheat City Open 2024 Melee At Shiloh Warzone: Wellington...

Competitive Innovations in 10th: Dressed for Success pt.1

The twists and turns of the metagame continue unabated this week, as Necrons get marginally barged back into their tombs by a triumvirate of snappily-dressed factions. Whether it's glorious golden armour, a Nemesis Dreadknight or just a straight-up Gundam,...

Competitive Innovations in 10th: Silver Tide pt.1

Welp, it's finally happened, this week we're going to three parts. That's because the past weekend was an absolutely astounding blowout of 40K, featuring ~1200 players participating in 16 GT+ events (around half of them majors) and that doesn't even account for...

Competitive Innovations in 10th: You Can’t Keep an Elf Down pt.2

And now presented for your delectation - elves. They're back. In many ways they never left. Lowest of Men will have the full gory details in a moment, but before that one final plug in this column for the Goonhammer Open...
