No one should be surprised that Eldar is the king, being a primary army on 33 out of 46 teams! Space Marines, Daemons, and Tau are all roughly even with between 26 and 28, and then it drops off down to Space Wolves, Dark Angels, Imperial Knights, Necrons and Adeptus Mechanicus in the 14-16 range.

After that we have a big drop off down to Tyranids and KDK at 6-7, and the 3-4 range is occupied by Orks, BA, CSM, AM, Renegades of Vraks, and Elysians. And finally the rear is brought up by Knight Renegades with 2, and Legion of the Damned, Sisters, GK and DE each having 1.

So what do you think? Does this surprise you? We will find out soon!

What lists will prevail at ATC?
