May 2025 Meta Report: a melody of ecstasy and git-stomping!

A new season begins in Warhammer 40,000: Warpforge! Last month was not only the first full season of the Beast Snaggas, but also the introduction of the Emperor’s Children as a new playable faction.

A new faction means a whole lot of new matchups to explore, but if any faction has been resilient to change, it was, of course, going to be the Orks. Although not as prominent or dominant as in April, the Orks were still clearly favoured in the highest ranks during this season, outclassed only by the galaxy’s self-proclaimed greatest swordsman, Lucius the Eternal.

A balance update is coming soon, introducing a number of changes targeted at toning down the dominance of some of the most prominent Warlords. Before that, though, let’s take a look at the winners of last season to check who you should prepare to face on the battlefield.
