The Summer International Team Tournament is almost here, and with the pairings now confirmed, it's time to turn our attention to the players.

The world's largest team tournament lands in the 11th Edition of Warhammer 40k! With over 350 players and more than 70 teams, we take a deeper look at which armies are being played the most in these first months of 11th Edition. Faction Choices The faction breakdown gives us a few interesting surprises, starting with Emperor’s Children taking the top spot with 27 players. That is a huge presence in the room and makes them one of the factions to watch across the weekend, due t

There is something different about a team tournament. Individual events are about your army, your games and your result. Team events add another layer to every round. Every game matters, but so does what happens across the other tables. You are not just fighting for yourself: you are fighting alongside four teammates. That is what makes the UKTC International Team Tournaments so special. Five Players. One Team. One Result. The format is simple: teams of five players face anot

The Edinburgh Super Major wasn't just another tournament: it was another major milestone for 11th Edition. With over 200 players competing across five rounds in the UKTC's first-ever event in Scotland, the weekend produced a huge amount of valuable competitive data. Every game, every faction and every result helped paint a clearer picture of the emerging meta. The more games are played, the clearer the trends become. And Edinburgh gave us plenty to analyse... Innes Wins Edinb

The UKTC arrived in Edinburgh for the very first time, and what a debut it was. Nearly 200 players battled through five rounds of competitive Warhammer, helping make our Scottish event a truly memorable weekend. Best General - Innes Wilson Innes Wilson claims the Edinburgh Super Major trophy with a perfect 5-0 record.

(of those entered to bcp) As over 200 players compete in the largest event in Scotland so far! Faction Choices Balance has returned to the force this month, with Marines taking top spot for most popular, as the edition settles in a little bit more, the depth of the Marine codex and their multiple ways to pla

On Friday morning, we announced the full UKTC 2027 events calendar. You can now see the full year of UKTC super-majors, decide which ones work for you and start planning your 2027 season. But the calendar is about much more than dates. A decade of delivering events The UK events landscape is entering a new period of growth. For the last ten years, the UKTC has been building the people, equipment, systems and experience needed to deliver Super-Major events consistently across

The Birmingham GT Super Major was the first proper look at the shape of 11th Edition. Big events don't just crown a winner. They stress-test a brand new meta, table by table, round by round, before anyone really knows what works yet. With 192 players recorded across the event, 28 factions on the tables, and 177 games played from the opening rounds through to the final bracket, Birmingham gave us a genuinely large sample to read the new format by. Not just one bracket final, b

A classic venue, a new edition and a fantastic weekend of competitive Warhammer.

Best General - Sam Nash Sam Nash claims the Birmingham GT trophy with a perfect 5-0 record. Running a unique Thousand Sons build featuring both the Hexwarp Thrallband and Sekhetar Cohort detachments, Sam combined the devastating shooting of three units of Sekhetar Robots

This weekend’s Birmingham Super-Major will be the first UKTC event played using the new 11th Edition event companion and terrain footprints. There is, however, one important practical update players need to be aware of before they roll dice. Because of the time required to build, and prepare the full new pre-painted Armageddon terrain sets for 11th Edition matched play, Birmingham will be played using the new footprints and event companion, but with transitional terrain piece

The final dice have been rolled. The last scores have been submitted. With the Leeds GT closing out the edition, the UKTC King of 10th Rankings have been finalised. Across an entire 10th edition of Warhammer 40,000, players have travelled the country, battled through Super-Majors, GTs and sold out UKTC halls. Chasing results across the biggest events in the world. The King of 10th Rankings are all about consistency, commitment and the ability to keep performing when the field

These are the members of the community who have stepped up to help ensure that games at our tournaments are played fairly and keep the events at the highest quality of competitive play possible. We launched this programme at the end of last year and have been thrilled by the response and participation from the community. It is with great pleasure that we are sharing that Ethan is our l

The Leeds GT this weekend was the final checkpoint of 10th edition for the UKTC. Rankings don't stand still. Big events move the table. And if you care about where you finish, the biggest events are where the biggest swings happen. With 229 players in the field, 204 completing the event, 28 factions represented, and a rankings update that rippled from the very top all the way through the chasing pack, Leeds was what a late-edition super major should be: a trophy fight, a rank

Our final event of 10th Edition is in the books! The Leeds GT was a perfect way to end the edition, with over 200 players battling it out over 7 rounds for their last chance to claim points and glory for the king of 10th rankings! Best General - Mani Cheema Mani finally capitalises on his recent run of form, making 7-0 in his last 4 UKTC super majors, he can now raise the trophy Dropping just 10 points over the entire event with his Pactbound Zealots Triple Defiler list. That

The Leeds GT is almost here, the lists are locked in and list checking will be commencing soon - we can now take our first look at the meta and how this last event of 10th edition is shaping up. This will be the last chance for those push for a last minute climb in the king of 10th rankings or the chance to run that one list that they've always wanted to try but have not had the chance to yet. We have a first look at the faction choices that have been made so lets dive in an

There is a certain kind of Aeldari player who wins games without ever making the table look safe. Not in the old “Eldar nonsense” way. Not the version from earlier in the edition when everything was a little too fast, a little too efficient, and a little too silly. This is the harder version. Recent Eldar is a lot more frail, every unit has to matter. Every move has to be planned, and every trade has to be worth it. Every mistake is punishing and if you put a foot wrong the w

With the new edition of Warhammer 40,000, there is a renewed focus on games that are not only balanced and fair, but also played on immersive battlefields covered in thematic terrain. One of the biggest changes in 11th edition is the way missions, objectives, terrain areas, and battlefield layouts work together. Strategic objectives are now more directly connected to the terrain across the table, and Games Workshop has designed missions and maps to support that intended play

Now that the official launch date for the new edition has been confirmed as the 20th of June, we would like to let you know how the confirmed launch date impacts our upcoming events. This is not the first time the UKTC has managed an edition change and we have a very robust methodology for managing the release. This will ensure a seamless transition for you as players and the chance to play in the first Super-Majors of the new edition. Which events will be 11th edition? Start
