Competitive Innovations in 9th: Drukhari and the Dallas Open

Competitive Innovations in 9th: Lightning Round 29/04

As we covered yesterday, the weekend just past was one of the largest for 40k that we've seen in ages, so much so that it far exceeds my capacity to get full writeups done for every single event. While...

Competitive Innovations in 9th: Spring Up GT and War for the Wooden Spoon

The floodgates have well and truly opened this week, with an absolute blockbuster schedule of events that put a wide range of armies that have been painstakingly developed over lockdown to the test alongside new contenders Drukhari. The sheer volume...

Competitive Innovations in 9th: Gladiator Gaming and C. O. A. C. H Team Events

Competitive Innovations Incursion Special: Objective Secured First Blood

One of the less well explored parts of competitive 9th Edition is games played at the Incursion (1000pts) level. 2000pts play was overwhelmingly the norm in 8th Edition (where the community exploded in size), so it's no real surprise...

Competitive Innovations in 9th: Lakes of Blood & Gladiator Gaming Teams

As promised, it's back to list reviews this week, with two events firing down under over the weekend, providing us poor, starved analysts the juicy information that we so crave. The Lakes of Blood event in New Zealand gives...
