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

The lists are in for the Bristol GT Super-Major, and with 321 players in the hall, we have got ourselves a real super weekend coming up. This is not one of those events where the faction breakdown tells you everything immediately. There is no single army looming over the field like a final boss. There is no obvious "well, everyone brought that" pick (If you count the fact that the defilers are different flavours) Instead, we see some rogue choices and surprising choices, shap

For many local clubs, stores, university societies, and smaller Tournament Organisers, terrain is one of the biggest barriers between “we would like to run an event” and “we are running regular, reliable, good-quality tournaments.” Good terrain is expensive and it needs to be consistent enough that players know what they are practising on. It needs to support the kind of games people will later play at larger events. And for a local scene that is still developing, buying enou

This article is part of our ongoing series explaining UKTC’s long-term plan for organised Warhammer 40,000 in the UK. In the first posts, we set out the wider picture: our vision for making 40k as accessible and dependable as football; the five structural problems we believe need to be solved; our mission to build the social and economic infrastructure that allows the community to grow; and the roadmap for how we intend to deliver that work over the short, medium, and long te

One of our most popular events is almost back, we have over 135 players across more than 70 teams preparing to battle it out this weekend to crown the champion in our latest event in the UKTC International Teams Tournament Series. List submission is now closed, and except for just 4 players we are able to take a pretty complete look at how the Meta shapes up. The Top 5 There are absolutely no surprises here, we see: Necrons take the top spot, with their durable stat checks of

This is the next post in our current UKTC series on the future of Warhammer 40,000 in the UK. In the Vision post, we described the destination: a UK where 40k is as accessible and dependable as football. In the Problems post, we explained why that future does not exist yet. In the Mission and Roadmap posts, we set out how UKTC intends to build the infrastructure that makes that future possible. This post is about one of the most important pieces of that infrastructure: the ne

new to teams? The past few years has seen the teams format skyrocket in popularity, with our International Teams Series selling out faster and faster. We have the May I. T. T. coming up very shortly. This article breaks down the teams format so whether you're attending your first team event or wanting to understand how it all works, keep reading and let us explain everything you need to know about the teams format. If you have only ever played singles events, teams 40k can lo

In our vision post , we described the destination: a United Kingdom where Warhammer 40,000 is as accessible and dependable as football; where your ability to play depends on your interest, not on whether your local area happens to have the right infrastructure. In our mission post , we described the work: building the social and economic infrastructure that allows the community to grow and flourish. This post is about the plan. More specifically, it is about how UKTC will use

As many of you know the new edition of Warhammer 40k is coming and has been announced by Games Workshop for a June release. Please note that the below is based on our assumptions and only the publicly available information Games Workshop has released and we are no more privy to the facts than you are. That being said, this is not our first edition change and we know how to handle things smoothly for all. This article covers how we will manage the process of transitioning fro

Winning a Super-major is something that ultimately, the vast majority of players will not achieve, so those that do have already set themselves ahead of the group. To win multiple is a reserved to an even smaller handful of players, and to do it back to back to back is something even more special. This weekend Innes Wilson took down his 3rd UKTC super-major in as many runs. A phenomenal achievement in itself, and made even more impressive by the fact that each title has been

Our vision describes the destination. A mission describes the work. This is the third in the series of posts where we outline where we see 40k going over the next decade and what we’re doing to make it happen. In our vision post , we described the destination: a UK where Warhammer 40,000 is as accessible and dependable as football where your ability to play is shaped by your interest, not by luck, geography, or limited local provision. In our “Five Problems” post , we descri

With pairings now live for the first round of the Sheffield Super-Major 2026 we really start to feel the anticipation build. The meta is still settling after a recent slate but there are some continuing trends and some new factions seeing spikes in popularity. This article is going to look at a few players that I have picked to keep an eye on and expect to be seeing at the top tables this weekend. First lets take a quick reminder of the overall faction spread: At a Glance Spa

This is the second post in our current UKTC series on the future of Warhammer 40,000 in the UK. Last week, we shared our Vision : a UK where 40k is as accessible and dependable as football; where your ability to play is shaped by your interest, not by luck, geography, or limited local provision. Over the coming weeks, we’ll continue to unpack that vision through a structured series of blog posts exploring the problems we’re solving, the mission that guides our work, and the

In 2026 the UKTC turns 10. Over the last decade 40k has grown tremendously and this is the first in a series of posts where we set out our plans for the next decade to take Warhammer in the UK to the next level. If you live in the UK and you play Warhammer 40,000, you’ll probably recognise this pattern. In some places, it’s effortless. You’ve got a local club night, a store with tables, a few friends always up for a game, and a calendar full of events you can book in minutes.

I can still remember my first UKTC experience, and I am sure many of you can as well. The excitement of going to the biggest event I'd ever seen, with the meta lists and player names that I had heard about online. I was hyped... A full weekend away dedicated to the hobby that I'd put so much preparation into. This is a feeling a lot of people are experiencing as more and more new people join the community and take their next step in their Warhammer journey. We have had over

The Windsor Super-Major was epic! A fantastic debut for our all new UKTC tournament, the event saw nearly 300 Warhammer 40,000, Kill Team, and Old World players convene to battle it out over 2 days of amazing tabletop action. This was a great example of the best parts of the UKTC: meeting old friends, making new ones, and having a great time overall. Whilst everyone played, only two players went undefeated in the 40k main event. Battling it out through 5 rounds of regular pla

UKTC events are a competition, but they’re also friendly, fair, and a celebration of the hobby. A big part of that is making sure every table looks like Warhammer: painted armies, identifiable units, and no “unfinished” models. Our requirements are listed in our policies and procedures documents you can find them here . This article takes a look at the Battle Ready standard using Games Workshop’s own guidance ( here ), then explains how we apply that standard , and what the

The Ladder Moves Constantly Manchester GT: Winter was a proper Super-Major weekend: 306 players , 29 factions , playing over our 7 round format that crowned Innes Wilson as our back-to-back champion for UKTC events. This post takes a look at the impacts these results have had on the UKTC rankings. UKTC rankings are a summary of your season, reported on BCP. They are built from your top 6 event results, with points being driven by placing + wins + event size (BCP scoring) -

Part of what makes UKTC events run smoothly at scale is the work of our judge team. Supported by the judge programme, we aim to raise the bar. Our judges work hard to deliver consistent, clear, and impartial rulings and game management across every round. The result is a better experience for everyone: clearer resolutions to rules questions, reduced friction at the table, and a fair competitive environment where the focus stays on the game and the fun.
