This turned out to be a great tournament, and it was no surprise when we saw that the Astra Militarum took home another tournament victory. It seems like that past couple tournaments has been AM and Chaos battling it out for the top positions, but Chaos fell short this time. Are we starting to see a trend in the meta? Do you think the recent Astra Militarum FAQ will make a dent in any of these Guard armies? So far it hasn’t seemed to bother Mr. Whittaker. Congratulations on your win sir.
