Dark Angels Update 4/7/2026

Image
 Greetings honored battle brethren! It was a slow weekend for events, what with the Easter holiday and all. There were a few though, for those of us lucky enough to be near them and able to squeeze them in, so we do have a few lists to talk about. Our top list of the week was run by Black Crow Gaming's Rules Lawyer, Alan Percival. Alan went 4-1 and took 4th out of 30 players at Peterborough Slam! - Inspired GT held in Hampton, England (I think Hampton is a suburb of Peterborough, judging from Google Maps). You can see Alan's list on BCP. We'll discuss it below.  The rock’s complaint department Lion Dad - Warlord Azrael Captain in Gravis Armour: Ancient Weapons Sammael Assault Intercessors with Jump Packs: 5 flying choppy boys Ballistus Dreadnought Deathwing Knights: 5 awesome chonky macey boys Deathwing Knights: 5 awesome chonky macey boys Eradicator Squad: 3 chonky melta boys Infiltrator Squad: 5 stay-off-my-lawn boys Inner Circle Companions: 6 spooky awesome swordy boy...

Meta Snapshot 3/30/2026

  Greetings fellow 40K enthusiasts! It's a little later than I intended to get this out, but I've brought you the meta snapshot of the past weekend. If you want to know what factions are dominating 40K at the moment, I've got you.  This week there were three factions that scored 7+ top three results. Out of them, I judge T'au to be the Top Faction of the week, with the following results: 1st Place: 4 2nd Place: 2 3rd Place: 1 Mont'ka was the top T'au detachment, with 3 of the 1st place results and 1 of the 2nd place results. One 1st place and 2nd place result were scored with Retaliation Cadre, and the 3rd place result was scored with a Kroot Hunting Pack. A T'au Mont'ka list won the second biggest event of the weekend, The Sheffield 40K GT with 243 players. I have to make a judgement call between the Number Two and Number Three factions, because they're pretty close. For the Number Two faction I'm choosing Chaos Space Marines , with the followi...

Chapter Update 3/30/2026

  Greetings honored battle brethren! It's the beginning of a new week, which means I've been hard at work compiling the tournament data from the weekend past. There were a lot of Dark Angels players that hit events over the weekend, but for the number of players there were relatively few lists that did well. There were a few though, so we have those to discuss. The best performing Dark Angels list of the weekend was Sean Dahlin's Company of Hunters (yay!), with which he went 5-1 and placed 4th out of 48 players at the LDXP Tacoma 2026 Grand Tournament held in Tacoma, WA. You can see Sean's list on BCP. We'll discuss it below. Mobile Plasma Donation Services  (Good name!)

  Hello fellow 40K enthusiast! It's a new week with new GT results from the weekend! I'm here to share with you which factions are at the top of the meta, and the armies and detachments that made the top 3 slots at their events. The top faction of the weekend was once again Necrons , and by a wide margin to boot. Necron lists accounted for 4 of the 1st place results, 4 of the 2nd place results, and 1 of the 3rd place results for a total of 9 Top 3 placings. These results were spread across 5 detachments.  Awakened Dynasty took 2x 1st Place results and 1x 2nd place results.  Canoptek Court snagged 1x 1st place and 2nd place results,  with the 2nd place result at the second biggest event of the weekend, with 98 players.  Starshatter Arsenal took 1x 1st place result and 2nd place result.

Meta Snapshot 3/16/2026

Greetings, fellow 40K enthusiasts! It's late in the week, but better late than never. I'm here to share with you which factions dominated the meta over the past weekend.  You may have determined from the subtle clue that Necrons were the top faction of the weekend. They were, and the next in line was not particularly close. Over the weekend, Necron players took in 4 First Place results, 2 Second Place results, and 1 Third Place result. Five different detachments were represented in this spread. Awakened Dynasty lists got 2 of the First Place results. Starshatter Arsenal picked up the 2 Second Place results. Pantheon of Woe and Hypercrypt Legion each took 1 of the First Place results, and Canoptek Court got the Third Place result. One of the Starshatter Second Place results and the Canoptek Third Place result were scored at the biggest event of the weekend, The Colorado Cup '26 - Warhammer 40K with 190 players. The second most dominant faction over the weekend was T...

Chapter Update 3/16/2026

  Greetings battle brethren! It was a bit of a slower weekend, and it seems that not a lot of our top scoring brethren hit events this weekend, so we don't have a lot to talk about. I do have two lists to bring to your attention however, so let's get into those. I apologize for this article coming out so late. Tuesday morning I went down into the basement to discover the floor under about a half inch of water. I spent over four hours combined before and after work vacuuming it up and dumping it out. As you can imagine, that really impacted my time. The best performing list of the weekend was Kyle Myers' Ironstorm Spearhead, which he used to go 4-1 and take 7th out of 37 at Palladium Games Presents "the dumpster fire gt" Spring Edition held in Phoenixville, PA. Here's Kyle's list on BCP. We'll take a look at it below. Enter Lion-Man Lion Dad - Warlord Azrael Captain in Gravis Armour: The Flesh Is Weak Lieutenant with Combi-weapon Techmarine: Adept of t...
