Well another tournament has come and gone at FTW Games (the home of Spikey Bits), and here is the top finishers for our event.
At the top is arguably one of the best players in 40k, followed by quite a few well know names around the tournament circuit as well.
Once again Eldar seems to have risen to the top of the pack, but let me tell you that all of these scores were very close heading into the finish line.
