![]() ![]() An unlucky opponent relying on key buff characters might just find themselves entirely missing them straight out the gate, which is far from ideal, and the Hemlock’s big -2Ld bubble might add some further attrition to any unit that loses models.īeyond that big alpha strike, opponents have a bunch more mortal effects to contend with, whether it be when they move via Wireweave Grenades (with the Shroud Runners also available to plink off any enemy Characters who limp through the initial onslaught on one wound using a Strands dice), a whole bunch of smite equivalents from the various casters, or Cronescream from the Banshees. In addition, dropping a 4+ invulnerable save on the Hemlock via Shield of Ynnead leaves it extremely durable, while the Voidraven can fly off the board and drop its mine on the way, so the retaliation suffered isn’t always going to be massive. The Voidraven can drop its bomb, while the Hemlock can unleash Storm of Whispers into a whole bunch of units from its gigantic base, and both can do this turn one without the opponent being able to do much to stop it. The key sell of the list is that it uses Ynnari’s army construction options and unique Psychic discipline to pack in an unusually large number of ways to dump area-of-effect Mortals on the enemy (plus plenty of targeted Mortals as well). This isn’t the first time this Ynnari build has popped up, but this week versions of it are really hitting the big time, making it into two top table games, including this one at the biggest event of the week. I’m sure everyone is thrilled about that. The arc of the metagame is long and bends inevitably towards Aeldari planes.

There’s no shortage of events to draw them from – people seem to be hungrier than ever for competitive 40K, and a massive eleven tournaments took place over the weekend. We will, of course, continue looking at stats and player performances as the season progresses. ![]() Sisters and Necrons appear to be just as strong as they looked, while some of the other factions are definitely lagging behind a bit, and are probably going to need a bit of tuning come the next Balance Dataslate. Speaking of Secondaries, if you haven’t already make sure you take a look at Rob’s rundown of how the stats are looking for them in Warzone Nephilim from Monday. ![]() Meanwhile, while doing decently, Necrons didn’t dominate nearly as much as last week, perhaps suggesting that players have started adjusting to their game plan, plus a surge in some of the armies that can defeat them despite their exceptional Secondaries. Plenty of the Nephilim superstars and some old favourites are on show, but a glance at the results also shows the first big week of Aeldari success stories we’ve seen with the new mission pack, suggesting players are now better adjusted to how to build for their secondaries. Another week in Nephilim, and another very diverse set of top performing armies to talk about. ![]()
