Carson Whitlock: Looks like Mitch has seen success bringing all the goodies! We see that he’s brought a Tyrant along to get access to some tactic-scoring frost sabres, who has both the Gruesome Trophies artefact for a 12″ bubble of +1 to hit against heroes and monsters, and the “Touched by the Everwinter” trait to get access to both more obscuring terrain, and a good old fashion mortal wound bomb via Pulverizing Hailstorm. In addition to the Tyrant, we also see the standard picks of 1 Slaughtermaster and 1 Butcher to maximize buffs with a +1 to cast from Prophets of the Gulping God.

Mitch has both a 12 block of Gluttons AND an 8 block of Ironguts in his general’s regiment, which gives him plenty of good options for using the Honour Guard Ability. No doubt that +1 to hit and wound came in handy on those Gluttons against all those ghosts Mitch swatted away in rounds 4 and 5! Lastly, we see a Gorger Mawpack ready to drop in as an easy Take Their Land piece that cannot be ignored! With 26 attacks at rend 2 into Infantry, Gorgers make a great zoning piece in your opponent’s backline that they either have to allocate serious resources to deal with, or run away and let them take whatever they’re standing on.

Congratulations to Mitch on the win!

Nighthaunt
Death Stalkers
2000 Points
Drops: 2
Spell Lore – Lore of the Underworlds
Manifestation Lore – Morbid Conjuration

Regiments
General’s Regiment
Nagash, Supreme Lord of the Undead (880 Points)
• General
Dreadblade Harrows (160 Points)
Dreadblade Harrows (160 Points)
Hexwraiths (320 Points)
• Reinforced

Regiment 1
Guardian of Souls (140 Points)
• Ruler of the Spectral Hosts
• Lightshard of the Harvest Moon
Bladegheist Revenants (300 Points)
• Reinforced

Fittsy: Here we go with another Nighthaunt list, but this time we’ve got the less popular but no less scary Nagash and boos variant.
We start with the classics: Death Stalker for run/retreat and charge, Morbid Conjuration, and a hero with Ruler and Lightshard for 2 OPBs of a +1 attack bubble and return a unit at half strength.
Nagash is a nice couple with Morbid to get those out quickly… In this case, Zak has even taken a Guardian for another cast and as the token artefact and trait bearer. We’ve also got 2 units of Dreadblades in the General’s regiment who are notoriously difficult to catch with their teleport being in both turns. Good luck getting through the Hexwraiths to score the battle tactic!

Nagash plus Ruler of the Spirit Hosts makes this a tough matchup for most armies as the reinforced units of Hexwraiths and Bladegheists are almost certainly coming back if you can’t take out big ol’ Nagash or the Guardian first.
Border War boasts a seriously competitive scene with some of the best of Australia’s best fighting over the top tables. Yak has gone undefeated up until the last match against Ogor’s who can be a tough matchup for Nighthaunt.

Good on ya Zak for taking 2nd at Border War!

Lumineth Realm-Chads
Vanari Battlehost
2000 Points Limit
Drops: 3
Spell Lore – Lore of Hysh
Manifestation Lore – Morbid Conjuration

Regiments
General’s Regiment
Archmage Teclis and Celennar, Spirit of Hysh (590)
• General
Vanari Auralan Sentinels (300)
• Reinforced
Vanari Bannerblade (130)
• Masterful Tactician
• Waystone
Vanari Dawnriders (210)

Regiment 1
Scinari Cathallar (120)
Vanari Auralan Wardens (280)
• Reinforced
Ydrilan Riverblades (140)

Faction Terrain
Shrine Luminor

Regiments of Renown
Saviours of Cinderfall (230)
Callis and Toll
Toll’s Companions

Roland Rivera: While I don’t think Teclis is the must-have choice he has been for the bulk of Lumineth’s time in Age of Sigmar, he’s still plenty good, and it is thus not much of a surprise to see a list prominently featuring him on the podium.

As with most Lumineth lists, this list goes heavy on the Vanari, as their passive -1 to hit debuff from Shining Company is absolutely crippling to many armies, and that combined with magical backup from Teclis and some high-quality shooting from a reinforced blob of Sentinels is a very tough nut to crack. These units are complemented by a very versatile piece in the Ydrilan Riverblades as well as highly efficient defensive bodies in the Saviours of Cinderfall. Needless to say, the choice of a potent Wizard in Teclis also necessitates some potent spells for him to cast, and leveraging his high autocast ability with Morbid Conjuration is a match made in heaven.

Apart from all of these meat-and-potatoes unit choices, an interesting piece of tech is the Bannerblade with the Waystone; this once-per-game teleport combined with the Bannerblade’s solid native control stat and control-boosting passive can make snatching objectives seemingly out of nowhere.

All in all, this list has a deep lineup of tricks, but enough combat stats to survive long enough to apply them. Great result by Joel on this one.
