This is the top three 40k lists for the BFS Northeast Team Championship that took place in New York State, USA on the 22nd and 23rd of April. It involved 120 players in teams of 5 vying to be crowned champion in a 5-game tournament. These are the top individual lists and not the top 3 teams. If team lists are of interest please let us know in the comments below.
As we head into 10th edition and beyond we wanted to start providing a source for lists that are being used successfully in tournaments around the world. The size of the 40k community and the sheer number of events means we won’t be commenting.
Before I jump into the Top Three Lists, I wanted to remind everyone of our friendly Discord server where you can join in the conversation with the Woehammer crew and suggest articles or series for the website.
If you like what we’re doing, why not join our Patreon and help keep it going?
Also if there’s a one day or two day tournament you’d like us to cover drop us a comment on this post and we’ll have a look at it for you.
