This year’s tournament, results of which can be explored in detail at the Mantic Companion website, showcased a diverse range of strategies and army builds.

The Winner: Jeffrey Traish’s Dwarfs

Jeffrey Traish’s victory with his Dwarfs was a testament to the resilience and offensive capabilities of this army. This must be the least-surprising outcome, but it does point to a renewed Dwarf resurgence with Ordered March.

The Runner-up: Damien Madigan’s Salamanders

Damien Madigan, securing the second spot, presented an elite Salamander army. His army composition, characterized by low drops, emphasized quality over quantity. This approach, combined with decent survivability and commendable damage output, proved to be highly effective.

Third Place: Matt Curtis’s Elves

Matt Curtis’s Elves, clinching third place, offered a unique approach with a lower unit strength of 19. His list, unusual for its heavy reliance on chariots and a relatively lighter emphasis on shooting, demonstrated the versatility and tactical depth of the Elves. This unorthodox strategy highlighted the game’s strategic diversity, showing that even less conventional army builds can achieve notable success. Will this drive a change in the typical Elf builds we’re seeing?

Meta-Level Analysis

In forthcoming analysis, I’ll delve into various factors that influenced victory in Clash of Kings Australia, including unit strength and the number of scoring units.

That may take me some time to pull together. In the meantime, I’ll give some preliminary results. First, the overall player results:

Preliminary data suggests that Dwarfs have shown significant improvement in this tournament, signaling a potential shift in the meta. This is a small sample size from a single tournament (Clash of Kings Australia), but I do think we’re starting to see the impact of Ordered March.

And finally, a cross-tab to see the faction-vs-faction results:
