This is just a breakdown of the Primary Detachment for each faction and does not include any allies. However, it’s pretty easy to see which factions are the most dominant. With LVO being the first major US tournament of the year, it’s going to be interesting to see how these faction break-downs change throughout the year. Right now, Eldar, Space Marines and Tau are sitting on top of the pack in terms of turn out.

Congrats to the LVO for an awesome event and what a player turn out!
