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

James "One_Wing" Grover - March 13, 2024

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.1

James "One_Wing" Grover - March 6, 2024

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

James "One_Wing" Grover - February 28, 2024

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: 24-Karat Carnage pt.2

James "One_Wing" Grover - February 23, 2024

It's not just the 10,000 dispensing the Emperor's wrath this week, and today we'll see that the Sororitas are at it as well. Presumably the Drukhari have falsified some documents to get themselves off the purging list, because they're...

James "One_Wing" Grover - February 14, 2024

We're going tall rather than wide this week - five events, but one of them is our first post-dataslate supermajor at Beachhead Brawl. The Imperium had the best of this one, with the Astra Militarum and Dark Angels putting...
