The 10th Edition Warhammer 40k Leviathan matched play packet is here to standardize all the upcoming tournaments for this year and beyond!
While some tournaments have been coming up with some of their own rules and banning armies, it’s nice to see GW taking an active approach to tournaments. We’ll have to see which tournaments use this packet, but for now, it seems pretty well laid out.
There are also some changes to missions, meaning even if you aren’t planning on playing any tournaments, you should check out the changes to those cards.
10th Edition Warhammer 40k Leviathan Matched Play Packet is Here!
The new 10th Edition Warhammer 40k Leviathan matched play packet comes from Warhammer Community.
Then there’s also the small matter of the Leviathan Tournament Companion, which the guys spend a while discussing. This is the last word on matched play in the new edition.
They mention in the video this isn’t just for their tournaments or GTs; it should be a good companion for anyone running a tournament who needs some help and even has advice inside for newer TOs.
Obviously, you can’t just have players picking their own missions throughout the tournament, so you’ll have pre-set missions, and if you use the terrain setups they recommend, it should make for a pretty balanced game.
They also talk quite a lot about getting players used to the missions so they are not having to focus on them as much and can have a more engaging play experience. Hopefully, they have done that!
As with almost every tournament, the tables should be set up with fairly similar terrain and not give a huge advantage to one side or another. Interestingly, they make a note about ruin walls, to leave one side open and not fully enclose buildings or ruins.
Again, the objectives differ in 10th, meaning you can’t put them on walls, and miniatures can’t stand on them.
They have a few different layouts, but they are all pretty symmetrical and, even with so much space in the middle, have plenty of LOS blocking.
This should be helpful for TOs, as sometimes matching people up can be a bit of a hassle. They also don’t recommend using VP as a way to determine the overall victors or for pairing. We’ll have to see what tournaments end up using.
Updated Leviathan Mission Cards
Nothing huge, but there are also exciting changes to actual VPs and scoring for these 10th Edition missions. However, it’s always good to know what’s changing, as they are mainly decreasing the VP given for these secondaries.
