This is the top three AoS lists for The South Coast AoS Singles that took place in the UK on the 2nd and 3rd of March. It saw 21 players vying to be crowned champion in a 5-game tournament.

Roland Rivera: Hazel’s Ogors are back, and it’s like they never left. The name of the game is simple – play as many Stonehorns as you can afford to stuff into a list, and let their combination of durability, speed, damage, and capture power carry you to victory. The Tyrant is a fun complement to the big things, as it carries a source of AoE healing in the Splatter-Cleaver.
An interesting decision made by Hazel here is to not play any casters and instead opt for the Nullstone enhancement. I suspect this decision was spurred by the new Battle Tactic for the Nullstone enhancement bearer introduced in the latest Battlescroll. Otherwise, I think putting Arcane Tome on the Frostlord on Stonehorn would have been a very attractive option.
Hazel is perhaps one of the best Ogor players in the UK (if not the world), and she has showcased her skills once again with this list.

Roland Rivera: The Big Waaagh list that took 3rd at this tournament is an interesting one – while the likes of a Wurrgog Prophet, Warchanters, and a Weirdnob Shaman are pretty standard fare for this army, this list has a few interesting picks that merit further discussion.
The first is the Killaboss on Gnashtoof – the recipient of yet another price cut (this unit was 200 points when 3rd edition launched!), GW is practically begging Orruk players to field it; its stats are very efficient by virtue of how cheap it is. Part of his job in this army is to be a Kruleboyz General to open up the gimme Battle Tactic that is Take Dat, Ya Suckers!, and the other part is to babysit the unit of Gutrippaz that is screening for their heavier-hitting Ironjawz cousins. Next is the reinforced unit of Maw-Grunta Gougers – this is so rarely seen, I had forgotten the unit could be reinforced until I saw this list. Ardboys, fresh off a much-needed points cut, are beginning to see more consistent play. Last but not least, Big Waaagh players rarely play more than 6 Gore-Gruntas, but Sebastian decided that wasn’t enough Pig for him, so he packed 3 more.
While some of the choices made in listbuilding were definitely unorthodox, there’s no arguing with the results. This list did very well, demonstrating the depth of the Orruk Warclans unit lineup and the power of the Big Waaagh! allegiance abilities.
