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

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

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

The Windsor Super-Major saw nearly 250 players start, but only 2 players remained undefeated across all 7 rounds that they played. Both piloting the Ultramarines with some very similar choices, this article is going to take some time to break down the undefeated lists from the weekend and what makes them such a threat when played to this level. Our undefeated players were Nassim Fouchane and David Gaylard, their lists are: Nassim's List Lieutenant with Combi-weapon Marneus Ca

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

With pairings now live for the first round of the Windsor Super-Major 2026 the hype is real, only a few days to go until nearly 250 competitors descend and start competing for the first victory in the UKTCs latest new event! 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 Space marines and Necrons are the most

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

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. If you are newer to com

Manchester’s 40k Super-Major is stacked top-to-bottom (306 players across 29 factions), but a few names carry extra gravity this weekend. Whether it’s a top-of-the-table title chase, a breakout into the elite ranks, or a faction pivot that could either look genius or brutal by round three. Before we zoom in, here’s the shape of the battlefield: Necrons are the biggest chunk of the room ( 25 players | 8.2% ) Space Marines (Astartes) are close behind ( 21 | 6.9% ) Death Guar

If you’ve been keeping even half an eye on the UKTC 2025/2026 season , you might already know this, the top positions are tight, and the mid-table is crowded. One big weekend can rewrite both. And that’s why The Manchester GT: Winter is shaping up to be one of those “you’ll wish you’d been there” moments. UKTC seasons run from the day after the LGT to the following LGT , and your season score is built from the points you earn at UKTC-registered events. All registered events
