Rob's road through 2024 continues as he plays some final practice games doing prep for the Oxford GT and gets in some last-minute painting.

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: 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: Silver Tide pt.3

At this point I have to accept that I fully exist in a hell of my own creation. I'm writing this sitting at the judges desk at the Goonhammer Open, with round 1 in full swing, and Lowest of...

Competitive Innovations in 10th: Silver Tide pt.2

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...

Hammer of Math: Save Distribution in Warhammer 40k

This week's Hammer of Math expands on the work from last week and looks at how Saves are distributed across the competitive scene. Last week we looked at how toughness characteristics were distributed in Warhammer 40k tournament lists and talked...

Competitive Innovations in 10th: 24-Karat Carnage pt.1

The Adeptus Custodes are back in business this week, bringing joy to the hearts of anyone who loves gold and despair to anyone who hates playing against army-wide 4+ Invulnerable Saves. Please do not think too hard about whether...

TheChirurgeon’s Road Through 2024, Part 2: Shaking Off the Rust

TheChirurgeon's Road through 2024 picks back up with more chaos space marine hobby progress and a practice game against post-dataslate Custodes.
