Meta Monday: 12 Weeks of Necrons on top

We had 14 events with 828 players this weekend. We are one week away from the new Ork or Custodes book going live and 2 weeks away from seeing them in play around the world.

Lists can be found on Bestcoastpairings.com or other sites as listed below. Some events are sponsored and thus can be seen without a paid membership. Everything else requires the membership and you should support BCP if you can.

Please support Meta Monday on Patreon if you can. I put a lot hours into this each Sunday. Thanks for all the support.

Takeaways:

Necrons had another great weekend, winning 5 out of 14 events. With a weekend win rate of 57% and a 12 week win rate of 55% .They have won 27 events out of 140 events over the last 12 weeks. More than double the nearest. In fact if their detachments were counted separately Canoptek would come in first with 14 event wins and Hyper would come in second in the overall tournament wins column with its 12 tournament wins.

Sisters won the biggest event of the weekend along with a smaller GT. With a 57% weekend win rate and 54% 12 week win rate. They have proven themselves one of the best factions of the game. With the tired in second place for the most tournament wins

Guards 12 week win rate is only 45% but they had a 50% win rate this weekend and 9 of their 51 players Go X-0/X-1.

Tyranids had a 40% win rate this weekend with only 4 of its 33 players Go X-0/X-1. Their 12 week win rate is at 43% but they have only one event these last few months.

Custodes had a weekend win rate of 51% with only 7 of its 51 players going X-0/X-1 with none of them winning an event this weekend. Custodes 12 week win rate is 52%. While they are a tough counter for melee armies they seem to have been figured out just before their new codex. With only 9 event wins they hare fallen to 4^tb place for total tournament wins over this last data slate.

Dark Angels continue to flounder. With a 41% win rate and an over all 12 week win rate of 45%. The faction still sees good game play with its 33 players this weekend

Chaos Knights underperformed this weekend with only a 42% win rate while  they tend to be near the 12 week win rate of.

Ok some real talk when it comes to Ad Mec, over the last 12 weeks they had by my count 100 players out of the 8120 total players these last 12 weeks. That is 1.2% of the total player base. They had a 45% win rate over these last 12 weeks and won 3 events. While their play style is hated and to expensive it seems on a pure power level they have more play then other factions. Nids had 4 times as many players and only walked away with one event win.
