This is the top three AoS lists for Warzone Atlanta ’25: AoS GT that took place in the US on the 9th and 10th of February 2025. It saw 26 players vying to be crowned champion in a 5-game tournament.

As I continue my review of the Top Three lists, it is inevitable that some of the same armies are going to appear again and again… and with a win rate of over 60%, FEC are bound to be near (or at!) the top of that list.
Frederick has brough many of the same units I’ve previously reviewed with the army led by Ushoran – Mortarch of Delusion – and with more Morbheg knights than the average Bretonnian has Pegasi. Frederick has gone for Crypt Ghouls and Beastflayers as his more optional units and Veremord’s Shamblers… let’s take a look at what they bring to the table at 240 points:
As a Regiment of Renown I feel an instant like to them, as these were a thing when I played… (the concept, not this particular one). And this one gives Frederick a Corpse Cart & 20 Zombies – expensive for 240 points but it’s the buffs and debuffs he wants. The Corpse Cart subtracts 1 from all enemy ward rolls within 1″ – not bad in a meta with FEC and helpful in the mirror. The buff is less good, but allows the corpse cart to return slain Zombies… but honestly what can’t kill 20 Zombies these-days.
A great 5-0 from Frederick – well done.

Oh… a second FEC list doing a superb impression of a submarine with a round 1 loss to finish 2nd. The pressure is on once you’ve lost that first game, even if you should be playing against slightly easier armies, so well done to Walter for keeping it together… but FEC!
Well what can I say? There’s not a lot left if you’ve been following some of recent commentary so over to the Royal Beastflayers.
The Beastflayers from Games Workshop
Well that’s an impressive – and busy – unit…. and it’s from Warcry
They are definitely screens and fortunately there attack profile is simplified, but they are 3 attacks each so 30 attacks 4+/4+ has some potential to get through with 7.5 wounds before armour saves. You can’t ignore these guys but at 100 points no-one cares when they die either. They mostly fill the same role as 10 Crypt Ghouls – if you could buy them in 10s…! Note to Games workshop… — stop with the Warcry/Underworlds in Age of Sigmar — this could easily have been a ‘counts as’ unit requiring people to have 2 and calling them crypt ghouls!
But… we all know it was the Morbeg Knights that did the work here for Walter.

Cody only lost out to FEC with this traditional Stormcast army. It’s got a bit of everything – speed with the Palladors; range with the Raptors; and staying power with the Reclusians. This looks like it fights traditionally too – holding objectives whilst having enough ‘reach out and kill’ to threaten most armies. Of course the winners here are the Gryph-Hounds as every wargamer knows — small animals sell toys — so I had to see if they had changed much from AoS3
What a stat line… well okay they are not setting the world alight (see the ghouls above), but they can still move quickly, have 12 wounds and – critically – they can allow other Stormcast units to ‘fire’ at the enemy.
Thankfully it’s simplified but most things that drop don’t like mortal damage, especially when it is 2-3 of it.
