Da Great South Waagh! was a five game event over two days that took place in the UK on 12th and 13th Feb. It saw a massive 72 players duking it out to be claimed champion.
Most Selected Faction/Subfaction
Stormcast Eternals/Hammers of Sigmar once again see themselves at the top of the most selected faction/Sub-faction sheet making up 10% of all the armies present. Stormcast were also represented by 13 armies from differing sub-factions. If you’re planning to go to an event, its almost worth making sure your army can counter Stormcast, Cities and Seraphon at the moment.
