This is the top three AoS lists for Feud on the Fens that took place in the UK on the 22nd and 23rd of July. It involved 32 players vying to be crowned champion in a 5-game tournament.

As this event had less than 20 players attending there won’t be any list comments here as the guys will be concentrating on the larger events of the week.

Before I jump into the Top Three AoS 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 there was one thing it always felt was holding DoK back, it was their terrible casting/casters – especially given their excellent lore. If only there was a way to make Mindrazor more reliable…

Russel here has taken a fusion list – The Big Lass is here with her double-reinforced stab-snek retinue – who at that number become an insta-kill button with their MW output and can be surprisingly hard to chew through – and msu, newly cheapened Aelves to fill out the battleline. Then there’s the double Heartrenders, who never go out of style as scoring pieces – in this season, they’re especially good for Surround and Destroy into Intimidate the Invaders.

Then comes the twist. A Treelord! At 230 it’s quite expensive allied tech, but their ability to stop a unit from piling in can wreak absolute havoc with an opponent’s plans, and against a squishy army like DoK could – and presumably did! – mean the difference between an enemy unit piling and killing half the sneks, or getting those extra wounds on Morathi – and not, which is a big deal.

With wins against the current meta-horrors SBGL AND OBR, this list and Russell’s skill clearly have legs. And tails.

Terries! So many terries! With the advent of the new Soulblight book, Avengorii was written off as non-comp even faster than people started complaining about VLoZDs – but their recent points drop seems to have tipped them into ‘viable’ territory, as evidenced here!

It’s a simple but effective list, built around 5 giant undead dragons who can do nasty damage and plenty of MWs – but the real synergy is in the Vengo Lord’s ability to allow them to ‘borrow’ the Hunger ability, healing up damage and going a long way to mitigating their usual lack of durability. Backed up by Lauka Vai’s key ability to allow Avengorii monsters a 6″ pile in – and with both Vengos capable of reducing rend by 1 (doesn’t stack sadly) – and you have a lot of monsters, capable of healing, mitigating your offence – supported by two devastating debuffs from the pair of Necromancers.

Beating the mirror, Khorne and Sylvaneth along the way is no easy feat, and this list only lost to the meta-terror Seraphon. A fantastic result for the ‘forgotten’ SBGL sub-faction.

Roland Rivera: This list is a blast from the past – Befouling Host lists with lots of Beasts of Nurgle were all the rage back in GHB 2021-era AoS, but have been dropping off since. However, Beasts of Nurgle just got a much-needed points trim, so this result may be an indication that this style of list can come out to play once again.

As far as playstyle goes, this list is using Beasts to run interference as mobile, durable annoyances that generally force overcommitting while the Hero Monsters (of which there are many) do the dirty work. The list is a strong summoner between starting with 2 Gnarlmaws and the Bell, so it can very quickly reach the contagion points needed to summon a Sloppity Bilepiper to prevent pile-ins against the Beasts or the GUO, or blobs of Plaguebearers to take objectives.

Another piece that got a points trim in this list is the Great Unclean One, and Max has kitted his out for utility. The Witherstave makes mortal wounds from disease trigger on a 3+ (which is a tangible improvement in their reliability), the Nurgling Infestation makes the GUO more durable by imposing a -1 to hit penalty on any attacks targeting it, the Doomsday Bell gives the player extra contagion points to summon with, and the Bileblade gives it an extra casting attempt in a pinch. He is a nice, durable complement to the hitting power of the Maggoth Lords, all 3 of which are present in this list.

This list requires a lot of careful positioning decisions, as its primary strategy is to physically block the opponent from getting close enough to the objectives to score them. However, in the hands of a skilled pilot, this list can be very hard for some armies to deal with, as demonstrated by this strong result.
