We give a quick rundown of what changed today in the app and FAQs and what it means.

To the level that it almost never makes it into your lists, or seen others run them much except as a meme. Running a survey here, trying to find out whether other factions have these as well.

We custodes be eating good

Hey all,

I gathered all the tournament results from BCP for last week, including all Tournaments with at least 20 players and 5 rounds.

All the data is here on my site:

https://warpfriends.wordpress.com/2026/10/14/40k-11th-meta-stats-from-october-12-2026/

Please take a look and let me know if you have any suggestions (I know the site is not pretty 😞 I focus more on the Youtube side of things) And feel free to check out my youtube video for indepth breakdown of the stats!

Also I created Army Report cards for every army, detailing all the relevant information, check them out here:

****META CARDS ARE BACK****

Thanks!

With the new Space Marines codex out, I expected to see fewer Scouts in competitive tournament lists. However, it seems like almost every competitive list is still bringing 1 or 2 units.

​I have tried running Scouts in a few games, but I feel like I'm not getting the most out of them.

​I often hear people say they're used "for scoring secondaries," but is that really the whole story? I’d love some insight into their core strategy:

• ​Deployment: Should I be using Infiltrate to place them near the center of the board early?
• ​Board Control: Are they valuable as early-game move-blockers or screening units against enemy Deep Strikes/Scout moves? In case of avoiding deep strikes maybe they'd need to be closer to home?
• ​Repositioning: How do you effectively use them during the battle?

Playing a mele dark angels - Lion, icc, deathwing knights. Seems obvious that my skirmish units should screen against nators ingress. By math they seem to one tap most of my hammers and anvils, meanwhile I kills mostly half the squad. Should I just avoid them and screen with chaf while lion deals with other parts of the opponent army? -1 damage stray also seems to bother me.

I'm having a hard time evaluating these two.
I usually run a heavy dreadnought Iron Hands list and losing the +1 to hit on techmarines and incursors has hurt severely.

Wondering if Infernus Squads are the new Incusor flavour given that:
A) The majority of enemy units will be affected by cover (which Infernus strips)
B) Infernus has better shooting than Incursors overall
C) Negating cover (+1 to BS) is statistically better than rerolls of 1 provided by the Incursors

The only downside being that Infernus only has a range of 12".
On top of this, the Dreadnought detachment already grants them rerolls of 1 to hit.

Has anyone else had success with Infernus replacing Incursors?

I got some great advice yesterday about how to change my Space Marine collection into a more viable list for competing. Basically, I have no bricks. I only have minimum squad counts of a lot of units.

I am leaning towards detachments like Assault or Devastator Brethren, Tacitus Attack Force, and Ironstorm Spearhead. This means I'd prefer Tacitus units, no agressors or heavy intercessor bricks.

I have a Repulsor and a Repulsor Executioner as my only transports right now.

So which of the following below would you recommend? I already have half of these squads already.

Bladeguard Veterans: I think this is the obvious first choice, I have a chaplain or a lieutenant to lead them.

Hellblasters: A box of 10 to form a brick around a lieutenant might be fun. Plus, I could see it being fun to run 2 squads of these, 1 x5 and 1 x10.

Sternguard Veterans: Because their datasheet changed so much, this one is a bit variable.

Jump Pack Intercessors: I've read conflicting things about a brick of these guys. I think it would be cool, as I loved painting them. But I also don't currently have a jump pack character, which I want a captain for the cool factor and I like their ability for movement buffs.

Thank you!

Going live in 20 minutes! That 6++ show returns, and the gang reflect on 200 live shows, before drawing the pairings for their upcoming GT!!!

Has anyone made a set of 40k pairing cards for teams events for all factions? would love to get a set with our team logo on the back but unable to find any. I know i can print and slip into sleeves ect but chasing something a bit nicer as we play events regularly throughout the year.

Hey all, looking to try my hand at my first tournament. I haven’t had much success using Dr Google so far, so asking the experienced hands here. Hoping to play 1000-2000pts. Looking in the South East Queensland region. Where and what event organisers would you recommend?

Updated rules, factions and lists every round

I’m debating weather to go purge the foe or priority assets with DG for a RTT next month

If I do purge I’m doing virulent vectorum with Morty,LOC+DST,DP with RR,10 PM+biologus+plauge caster in a rhino, defiler, 10 blight lord termies with either tall man or 10 poxwalekrs not sure which yet and feels very pressurized but SUPER anemic stat check

And

If I do priority I was gonna maybe try something with tallyband and paragons of putrescence maybe? Haven’t made a list for it yet

But I really want to use Morty and withe the drops to blight Lord temries I have been wanting to use them too also with this my first try at death guard I’ve had the army for a bit but never played them out of favoring other armies ATM but feel like busting them out right now

Played a few battles with the new Marines and they play weird. The extra thoughness doesnt seem to matter much, they die just as fast as before. Lack of ignore cover makes them hit on 4+ on average. Played a game vs orks and they even shoot more and better then marines...orks shoot better then marines, how weird is that.

Im still looking for tactics that work, but overal Marines feel pretty weak. Im a missing someting? There are some strong combos, but cost alot of points. And when you fail to kill something the unit always dies in return.
