These take a huge amount of work, and with the game changing quite a lot as every new book in the first half of the year turned the metagame on its head, and by the time that had bedded in, it was nearly time for a Balance Dataslate, and it didn’t seem worth putting together an update. The speed of changes to the game plus a very busy first six months of the year killed it.
Don’t worry if you won an event – I haven’t forgotten you! This also means that your usual dose of Competitive Innovations will be coming out tomorrow and Friday this week. I want to set out my stall for which factions need buffs or nerfs, why that’s the case, and what sort of things I’d change. So let’s do that! Two months into the season means we should be about a month away from the next Balance Dataslate, providing an opportunity for some tweaks around the edges to make a good season even better.

No faction is as far out in front as some of the previous metagame tyrants, and no army is as far behind as some have been before, but we’re two months into the season and have some massive events in the books (check out the Competitive Innovations archive for details), so we’re in a position to identify who the frontrunners are, and who’s lagging a bit. We’re now far enough into the Season that some trends have started to emerge among top performers, and while the balance is better than ever, there are still some factions out in front, and a few that need a bit of help to compete.
That’s fantastic, and the energy in the scene right now is palpable – so up front, fantastic work from Games Workshop in putting together a set of points, rules and mission changes that has given rise to it. Warzone Nephilim is the most diverse and interesting period of Competitive Play we’ve seen so far in 9th Edition, with a wide range of factions putting in top performances, including some that have languished on the bottom tables up until now.
