Hey guys welcome to my 3rd installment of our January pre-LVO interviews. Sadly, no interview today due to audio malfunctions (Warpstorms…) however I do have the results for 5 GTs in January with Statistics on what armies are doing well, and which armies are underperforming.
Chapter Tactics is a 40k podcast which focuses on promoting better tactical play and situational awareness across all variations of the game.

Armies that have at most 1 loss stats in January: It is important to note, not all of these tournaments used the missions that will be seen at the LVO, however I think this is still relevant data because a lot of these players are going to the LVO and I think this is the closest relevant information we have to determining a meta at the LVO.

QOTD: What do you guys think of the top factions in January?
You can catch my last episode here and if you want to listen to the rest of the series click here.
Does anybody know what Paul McKelvey’s tau list was for TSHFT consisted of?
The lists are on the BCP player app. Now available for Android and IOS.
Basically no stormsurges or riptides. Piranha Firestream wing, broadsides, a wall of martyrs, tetras, an ethereal, and a lot of crisis suits.
Actually, there is one Riptide; a requirement for one of the formations.
Thanks keith!
I couldn’t copy paste it, and it was a bit hard to follow.
Thank you. It is pretty interesting to see that Paul and Sean both scored so high with radically different Tau lists.
Unfortunately it looks like the app doesn’t go back that far on Android, I can’t find the TSHFT event to even see if it shows the lists. Not sure if that’s an intended feature or not.
Would have loved to glance at the breakdown but I appreciate seeing the overview here in the comments!
Good episode!
Good showing buddy!
I believe in 8th edition.
