There’s a sickness, and the cure is not More Dakka; here’s the top 10th edition meta lists for Warhammer 40k and army lists from Monday.
Latest Warhammer 10th Edition Meta Lists
If- and that’s a big if- Orks are at your event with More Dakka, they’re an absolute requirement to account for, and over the weekend, we saw multiple armies do just that to succeed at Adepticon 2025 40k Champs (Milwaukee, WI). However, the Geek Shack GT – Battle of Zia Sun ( La Cruces, NM) wasn’t as fortunate.
Either way, if you’re playing 40k competitively, this one’s for you! With several new codexes already for 2025, the 40k Meta Mondays have been wild lately for every faction in the 10th Edition.
Adepticon 2025 40k Champs:
Conan Jennings was able to take down reigning World Champion Folger Pyles in the last round, albeit due to unique time constraints imposed by the Adepticon format.

Stop me if you’ve heard this list before… Ultramarines are juiced. They have been ever since the changes to Oaths, and they somehow survived the balance dataslate.
Two Vindicators wound everything in the game on 2s with D6+3 [Blast] Shots and a 2+ Hull with essentially unlimited CP. It’s good stuff.
This list doesn’t even have anything exciting happening anymore, but it just proves how powerful the stat check of Vindi’s + Ballistus continues to be when fueled by Marneus and G-Man.
Folger Pyles – Devoted of Ynnead
Folger took down THREE Dakka Orks to earn his place in the championship, doing the lord’s work for sure.

Ynnari Incubi (150 points)
• 1x Klaivex
• 1x Demiklaives
• 9x Incubi
• 9x Klaive
Folger was able to find the secret sauce to take down a gaggle of Orks, which are one of the latest top Warhammer 10th Edition meta lists. So, if you’re a Ynnari player, the book is written!
This list boasts some incredibly efficient anti-tank, and with Ynnari’s unique movement tech, I’m sure they were taking out multiple trukks with splitfire activations each.
Warp Spiders are another profile that Orks (and anything, really) aren’t a fan of their speedy trash-clearing that datasheet offers. The Incubi are the unique inclusion here; I can only suspect they acted as a uniquely powerful countercharge unit.
Geek Shack GT – Battle of the Zia Sun:
Adrian took More Dakka to a smaller event and showed the power it can put down at any level of play.
Adrian Lopez – More Dakka!

This list also isn’t breaking any new ground; it might be exactly the same list that’s won Super Majors recently.
There is intense pressure on turn one from the Grot Jail, coupled with transports and overwhelming damage profiles. Orks can pump out damage, and almost no one can survive it. Be prepared!
