Wira Meta Report October 16–19, 2025
Wira Meta Mondays! October 16–19, 2025 - Shaz Yong
This past weekend brought us several of the year’s largest events, including the massive Paris Wargame Expo with nearly 400 players. Across the board, the story of the weekend is factional diversity: no single army dominated the standings, and while Adeptus Mechanicus rose to the top with multiple undefeated runs, twelve different factions found their way to perfect records.
Below, we’ll cover the major event winners, provide a breakdown of the undefeated detachments across the largest tournaments, and discuss what this tells us about the evolving meta.

All Events (Oct 17–18) – Undefeated Faction + Detachment Breakdown
Data sourced from https://40k-event-tracker.nuxt.dev/
Competitive Weekend Recap – October 17–18
Adeptus Mechanicus: A Rising Force
The standout faction was Adeptus Mechanicus, with three undefeated Haloscreed Battle Clade performances—the most of any detachment. Recent buffs and strong positioning make them reliable, with efficient trades and solid board control. AdMech players are clearly riding high this weekend.
T’au Empire: Versatility on Display
T’au posted four undefeated players across four detachments: Kauyon, Mont’ka, Retaliation Cadre, Auxiliary Cadre. This highlights codex flexibility, with both aggressive and methodical strategies succeeding, and strong results at both large and mid-sized events.
Aeldari: Aspect Hosts Continue to Excel
Aeldari produced three undefeated Aspect Host lists, including wins at major events like the Paris Wargame Expo. Their speed and efficiency make them difficult to counter, keeping them a consistent top-table faction.
Shadowmark Talon: Strong but Manageable
Only one Shadowmark Talon list went undefeated, alongside a Gladius Task Force list. Marines remain competitive but are far from overwhelming.
A Diverse Meta
Outside AdMech, no faction had more than two undefeated players. 12 factions achieved perfect records across 18 detachments total, from Orks and Grey Knights to Death Guard and Leagues of Votann, showing a balanced and skill-driven competitive environment.
Key Takeaways:
- Adeptus Mechanicus leads the weekend.
- T’au and Aeldari perform strongly with Tau doing so across multiple detachments.
- Shadowmark Talon is strong but not oppressive.
- 12 factions achieved undefeated records, showing meta diversity.
If these results are any indication, the current season is shaping up to be one of the most varied and competitive in recent memory.
