Feculent Gnarlmaw

Raymond Lane (A Skaven Plays): This is a full double cheeked, double fatty control list. 60 plaguebearers with 4 different casters to put -1 to wound on them makes them very hard to chew threw with the additonal -1 to hit for being on an objective. Rotigus giving all the caster a nice +1 to cast and the guo to revive the bearers and drone if ya ever get through them makes this list a nightmare for low damage armies to chew through.

Relying mostly on crit mortals and disease for damage but with Febrile Frenzy and the Poxbringers, they can bring plaguebearers up to 3 attacks a piece, not forgetting the +1 to wound from spoilpox either can make them a decent melee threat.

With the Witherstave and cogs to reduce charge damage and -1 to hit on casters can make it pretty hard to go into the Great Unclean One as well, thats if they can get past the plaguebearers.

Blazing onslaught is a great tactic for Nurgle with Rotigus pinging everything within 18 in the hero phase and disease often cleaning up the end phase damage for us as well. Smokescreens second tactic is a bit hard, but can always throw away a damaged unit or a foot hero when ya really need to score it. All the units in the list are revivable and can bring them back from a tree later on to steal some back points.

Overall a good classic daemon control army, would of loved to see a priest but everything in this list feels necesary for it to function as it is!

Faction Terrain
Awakened Wyldwood

Luis Mendoza: Congratulations to Alexander on his undefeated 5–0! This Sylvaneth list adopts a Hero-centric approach, relying on multiple independent threats rather than reinforced infantry blocks. Glade Defenders supports this strategy by granting +1 Attack to friendly Sylvaneth units whenever a friendly Sylvaneth unit or Awakened Wyldwood is destroyed, increasing the offensive output of the army as the battle progresses.

The list is anchored by Alarielle the Everqueen, whose spellcasting, healing and battlefield presence provide the foundation of the army. She is supported by the Warsong Revenant with Realmroot Guide, enabling repositioning through the Creeping Overgrowth while granting access to the Lore of the Spirit-Song. Alongside them, Spirit of Durthu with Glamourweave, Belthanos and Drycha Hamadreth create three independent combat threats that combine melee power, ranged pressure and battlefield mobility.

Supporting units reinforce the army’s board control. Gossamid Archers provide screening, harassment and objective control, while the pair of Spite-Revenants serve as inexpensive scoring units. One unit is equipped with Aspect of Harvestboon, gaining additional movement while within the Creeping Overgrowth to improve objective pressure and repositioning.

The selected Battle Tactics align well with the army’s playstyle. Siege of Ashes rewards coordinated positioning, board presence and objective control, while Burning for Vengeance benefits from the army’s mobility, allowing it to pressure the enemy Fugitive and quickly adapt to different scoring opportunities throughout the battle. By distributing threats across multiple heroes and combining mobility with board control, the army maintains several avenues to pressure objectives while creating difficult target-priority decisions for the opponent. The result is a flexible game plan capable of adapting to different battleplans and matchups, reflected in Alexander’s undefeated tournament performance.
