In this part of the video, BJ the Brave provides an update on the recent meta snapshot for Warhammer 40K War Forge.

BJ highlights the current tier list, noting that some warlords like Junith are still struggling despite buffs, particularly due to her slow and inefficient abilities. Despite this, nearly every warlord in the game can still have viable decks built around them, showcasing a balanced meta. However, Junith remains at the bottom of tier 4. On a more positive note, warlords like Anvia have risen in the ranks; previously at the bottom of tier 4, Anvia now has a more impressive win rate, reflecting a more favorable position in the current meta.
