![]() Only three players went 4-1 or higher with an army other than those – two guys (including Henry) on Thousand Sons, and one Chaos Daemons player. At Manchester GT, the first non-Tau/Custodes/Aeldari/Innes player was Henry Bearne down in 22nd. On his way to the semi-finals, John Lennon’s first three games at Adepticon were against Tau, Tau, and Custodes his opponents averaged 14 victory points per game (excluding paint scores). We’re now in a metagame where Harlequins are oppressing other S-tier books. The field was also a lot weaker generally the next-best books were Dark Angels and Death Guard. Drukhari hit some stunning heights, but at the point that we had Ad Mech and Orks in there as well all three factions hovered between 55% and 65% – too high, but not this high. What this means is that we’re looking at a meta even more oppressive than last year’s. Even worse, Adepta Sororitas (28.6%) and Astra Militarum (20.4%) have slipped down to the 20-29% bracket, as have a number of Space Marine Chapters (the most meaningful in terms of number of games played is Blood Angels, rejoicing this week in a 26.7% win rate from 60 games played). ![]() The only other factions with positive win rates from this weekend are Chaos and Chaos Daemons (both with a small number of games), and Crusher Stampede Tyranids, plus GSC and Ad Mech sitting on 50% exactly – everything else is sub-50%, and even Drukhari have slipped into a negative win rate for the first time since their codex last year. That’s high anyway, but they’ve also pushed down T’au Empire and Adeptus Custodes, who sit at 58.7% and 57.2% respectively – both factions were sitting comfortably around 60-65% before, and spiking up to as high as the 70% range on good weekends. ![]() Excluding mirror matches, Harlequins hit a 77.9% win rate, “Aeldari” 65.1%, Craftworlds 61.7%. Our own Falcon has put together the stats from this weekend, and they make for grim reading. If you’re paying attention you’ve already seen that the new lords and masters of the 40k scene are the Harlequins, and specifically Light Saedath Harlequins packing as many Voidweavers as it’s legal to put into a list. It’s bad enough out there that we’re all celebrating a win for underdog faction Crusher Stampede. Another week, another screaming horror of a metagame in 40k.
