This is the top three AoS lists for the GAF Jamboree 2024 that took place in the UK on the 12th and 13th of October. It saw 36 players vying to be crowned champion in a 5-game tournament.

Peter: I’m very pleased to say that we’ve been joined by top US player Mckenzie Ewing (who you’ve probably seen appear quite a few times on our top 3). Mckenzie will be helping us out with comments on Lumineth, Idoneth, and Sylvaneth.
Mckenzie Ewing: So the list is very interesting as Mike is using the mobility of foxes even with the nerf. However, with Teclis as a magical powerhouse able to throw out the Morbid conjuration spells with ease, it creates a multitude of threats for the opponents to attempt to deal with. The sentinels provide an excellent range damage battery that your opponent has to deal with while you are getting mortal wound bombed by Teclis and Shackles thrown at your face. I like the variety of units post battle scroll and happy to see Mike pilot the list to a 5-0, job well done!

Neave’s Companions
Connor Irwin: Congratulations to Dominic for an excellent showing for the shiny champions of Sigmar at GAF. Let’s take a look at what he brought to the table.
Starting from the bottom, Neave and her companions are an interesting choice. The RoR is widely considered more effective outside of a Stormcast army but brings with it an IDK wizard with a neat warscroll spell but no lore. Not to worry, free access to three interesting manifestations keeps Lorai busy. Twilit Sorceries isn’t one you see every day (ie Morbid… Still) and includes the spell portal, geminids, and palisade. All interesting tools for blocking and slowing down an unwelcome advance. Neave herself is a blender in the right company, and the whole package is capable of taking and swinging a punch, especially with some of the close proximity objectives have to wyldwoods in this season’s battleplans.
Moving up the list, big daddy prime perches in a regiment with some good stuff tech. Cheap and useful hounds to screen and win tactics, the knight-vex with all the trimmings (mirror for shooting cover, staunch for an in-territory OC boost), and lastly the ascendent vigilors to boost the hit chance on an unlucky enemy target in their sights for other stormcast units.
Speaking of Karazai, that murder machine with anger issues that would turn a Mangler squig green, sits atop this list as warmaster-general, unlocking the still-auto-include longstrikes and taking a unit of praetors for good measure. The combo here is Bodyguard for the Honour Guard 24-25 GHB season rule, putting in enemies in combat with the massive 140mm based Karazai while the praetors are wholly within 6″ of him (they always are) at a -1 to combat attacks. This pairs nicely with the praetor bodyguard mechanic (5+ ward for both them and Karazai while in combat range of him) and Karazai’s rampage lowering a unit in combat with him’s attacks by -1 as well. So Dominic flies his 20 health ragebeast on a 3+ save to somewhere useful, drops in his praetor safety blanket from azyr to turn on the brick wall and dares someone to try and lift him. If you don’t succeed in one go you’re probably in trouble since damage only adds more jaw attacks, Karazai’s best weapon. There are simply not a lot of armies that can pull that off, since very few reinforced hammers are still viable at -2 attacks. Coupled with longstrike covering fire support and vigilor +1 to hit buffing (frees up all-out-defense) you can see how these overlapping features are a recipe for success.
Important to note the absence of the stormportal, as this event was prior to the new tome, points, and unit releases… which all would hurt it not one bit. Love to see Stormcast good stuff getting it done so congratulations again to Dominic for the excellent results.

Noel Fundora: The double teleport and slipper Vulcha makes this list a nightmare to play against for pure melee armies. The death riders evidently had the speed to hunt them down, but the others not so much. And the big brick of Gutrippaz backed by Sludgey makes for a great hammer. Dense blob of wounds that’s -1 to be hit and packs a serious punch. MKs ever the efficient unit play a wonderful role as always.
The following list is available to our fantastic Patreon supporters. Thank you!
