General Synopsis: The usual suspects are showing up in force (Space Marines, Eldar, Necrons) The Space Wolves are making a very strong showing due to their utility as allies and their deadly deathstar potential. The new Dark Angels are showing up in strength for the first time in years – GO Caliban! Monstermash lists (5 Imperial Knight or 5 Wraithknight) are back in vogue! Finally it looks like the days of walking Tyranid Hive Swarms are over – it’s all wings all the time.
Looks like a varied field for sure. Good luck to everyone!
How does this compare with what you guys are seeing in your local 40K meta?
