How to maximise your weekend at the winter i. t. t. It is just a matter of hours now until the UKTC Winter I. T. T. kicks off at the Sports Connexion Lesiure Club, Coventry . And it's not just "a big event" it's the worlds largest 40k teams tournament, with over 750 players convening to do battle and crown the champion for this massive competition. Over 150 teams, 29 factions, and 100+ clubs . A truly ridiculous concentration of ranked talent all in one hall. So, if you're ne

Pairings drop today (Wednesday 28 January 2026)  — and this is exactly the moment teams players live for. Because once the matchup matrix is out, you’re no longer “getting ready for a weekend”… you’re getting ready for a pairing room war . And the stage couldn’t be bigger. This Winter ITT is at 158 teams / 790 players  — the biggest teams event in the world , and bigger than last year’s 695 players. So if you’re prepping properly, you’re not asking “can I win my game?” You’re

Winter ITT is shaping up to be one of the most stacked weekends of the season so far - and if you care about your UKTC standing (or your team’s place in the national ladder), this is exactly the kind of event that can redraw the map in a single round. The headlines are simple: Over 150 teams have registered Representation from 29 factions  and 100+ clubs And a huge concentration of ranked talent  turning up to play This isn’t just “another weekend” - it’s a pressure test for

Lists for The UKTC Winter International Teams Tournament (ITT) are now live, with list checking underway. Today we are going to take a first look at the data, what it tells us and how the meta at the event is going to be shaken up. With 158 registered teams, this event boasts a 790 total player sign up, making it the biggest teams event in the world. The first look for this gives us a clear and interesting read of what is popular. At a glance, the faction distribution across

If you’ve only played singles events, a teams round at a UKTC ITT can feel like a magic trick. You arrive at your table thinking, “Cool , I’m playing Warhammer.” Then the captains step away, shuffle some paper, pull out their phones, and start whispering like it’s a poker final… suddenly you realise you’re also playing a second game. One that happens before dice hit the table and often decides what “good” looks like for your whole round. That’s the pairings process. At UKTC

In singles 40k, list building is mostly about your consistency : can you play into the field, across missions, without falling over? In teams, list building is about your intent : what matchups do you want  to create, what matchups do you refuse , and what score do you need  each table to deliver when the draft doesn’t go your way. That’s why teams players don’t talk about “bringing a strong list.” They talk about bringing a roster . And with the UKTC Winter ITT  almost here,

What's the difference, a Rouge Traders Tournament? A Grand Tournament, How about a Major? A “tournament” can mean anything from a local one-day scrap with 12 players… all the way up to a weekend where you’re one name in a four-digit player field. And while the rules  of Warhammer stay the same, the experience changes massively as events scale up. So let’s break down the three sizes you’ll hear most often — RTT, Grand Tournament, Major, and Super-Major — what they feel like to

If singles 40k is about your list vs their list , teams 40k adds a whole extra layer: Your list vs their list… on that  table… inside that  pairing plan. That’s why teams players talk about terrain like it’s a faction. Because in teams, it basically is. And if you’ve been “meaning to try teams one day,” here’s the inconvenient truth: that day is getting harder to book.  The Winter ITT is already sold out (and it’s literally billed as the world’s largest 40k team tournament, w

Lists, Pairings & Score Normalisation (and what else makes teams so  addictive) If you’ve only played singles events, a Warhammer 40,000 teams tournament  feels like someone took your favourite game… and added a second, brilliant game on top. You still play normal 40k. You still score primary/secondary. You still try to win your round. But now you’re doing it as a squad  — building five lists that work together, navigating the captains’ pairing mini-game , and chasing the kin

A sincere thank you to everyone who attended Nottingham this weekend, and congratulations to all our winners. It was a fantastic start to 2026, and we hope the rest of the year’s events build on the same energy, sportsmanship, and quality of games that made Nottingham such a standout.
