This is the top three AoS lists forthe Wheat City Open 2024that took place in Canada on the 2nd and 3rd of March. It saw 28 players vying to be crowned champion in a 5-game tournament.

Before I jump into the Top Three AoS Lists, I wanted to remind everyone of our friendly Discord server where you can join in the conversation with the Woehammer crew and suggest articles or series for the website.

Also if there’s a one day or two day tournament you’d like us to cover drop us a comment on this post and we’ll have a look at it for you.

Roland Rivera: A Mortal-heavy Reapers of Vengeance list is not exactly a common sight, but such is the power of its effect of providing bonus Blood Tithe for slain enemy Heroes that you can make it work. The Hero lineup features most of the big hits: a Bloodthirster of Unfettered Fury with Firebrand as a powerhouse to build your center around, Skarbrand as a steady and mostly independent hammer, multiple Priests to leverage the excellent prayer scripture and invocations, and Skarr Bloodwrath as a reusable source of Blood Tithe.

The troops themselves feature a mix of native Khorne troops and Allies from Slaves to Darkness: the reinforced blob of Blood Warriors will take and hold the middle, whereas the Flesh Hounds and Bloodreavers serve as cheap screens that can generate Blood Tithe on death. The Furies can also serve that role, but provide additional mobility to help pressure faraway objectives.

Khorne continues to be in a strong position, and this list is a good example of why this is the case: the combination of durability, reliability, and mobility makes it a powerful army in the hands of a skilled player.

TOTAL POINTS: 1990/2000

Roland Rivera: It’s not often that you see a Maw-krusha in Big Waaagh lists, but that doesn’t mean that it isn’t potent. Its combination of speed and hitting power can be a daunting complement to the board presence and magical power typical of Big Waaagh armies.

Alongside the big guy is an interesting combination of Ironjawz threats – Brute Ragerz pack a lot of punch on the cheap, and Brutes bring both damage and the ability to bully smaller models off objectives. Alongside them is a unit of Gutrippaz that acts as a screen that can also take down weaker units, and a fairly typical Hero lineup of Gobsprakk, a Wurrgog Prophet, a Weirdnob Shaman with Da Great Big Green Hand of Gork, and a couple of Warchanters to lay down Violent Fury on the Ironjawz.

Because the Maw-krusha is not often seen in Big Waaagh, your opponents may not be prepared for it, and that kind of curveball can be a very useful tool.

Army Faction: Soulblight Gravelords
– Army Type: Vyrkos
– Grand Strategy: Empire of Corpses

10 x Black Knights (130)

– Standard Bearer
3 x Fell Bats (90)
3 x Vargheists (140)

CORE BATTALIONS:
*Andtorian Acolytes

TOTAL POINTS: (1985/2000)

Roland Rivera: While this list is in Vyrkos, and has some of the Vyrkos mainstays in Zombies and Belladamma, it has a very interesting mix of units. Vyrkos is normally all about the Deadwalkers, but this list has a big blob of 30 Skeletons (!), as well as 10 Black Knights (!!) and some Vargheists (!!!). The surprises don’t end there, as even Ivya Volga makes an appearance.

The gameplan, however, is the same as it typically is for Vyrkos – drown your opponent in bodies, and pick them back up when they die. The Black Knights offer you a bit of a counterpunch angle with the mortal wounds on the charge, and the Vargheists can threaten backfields with their flight speed and deepstrike ability.

Overall, this is a bit of an unusual list, but unusual doesn’t always mean bad, as its results demonstrate.

Kevin Lathers: This an interesting list in that it makes use of a lot of different Fyreslayer units all together. Functionally it may perform similar to some Vostarg Vulkite-heavy lists but allows for a couple different board control strategies.

To that end, this list will be effecting heavy board control. Vulkites and Hearthguard Berserkers have a lot of wounds on them to burn through, and Shield Vulkites are 40 wounds under a 6+/5+ (with battlesmith) ward that can be rallied on a 4+ and feed the flamekeepers when they die. There’s just a lot of stuff for enemies to have to deal with this.

Furthering this board control is the ability for the Hearthguard Berserker group to split off with the Runefather — with possibly the Doomseeker and Flameseekers (for an extra hero and anti-monstrous actions) — to create one small castle while the Vulkites, Battlesmith, and Flamekeepers create another small castle. This list can split push if need be. That’s very dangerous because opponents can often break one castle, but two? That’s another thing entirely.

On top of this, dealing with these castles, and their high model count, not only causes other stuff to get stronger (via flamekeeper), but leaves opponents open to heavy mortal wound output from the infernoth, flamespitter, and the poleaxe berserkers. It’s notable that flameseekers benefit as well from flamekeepers as Vulkites do, as well.

As a treat, the Auric Hearthguard add a nice little bit of shooting as well as movement reduction on select units which is always good and can even be backbreaking occasionally. Dropping a units move by 2″ can sometimes be a difference maker in an opponent’s plans.

Functionally this list becomes a buzzsaw that can push onto objectives, be hard to remove, and punish opponents for even trying to do it.

TOTAL POINTS: 1990/2000

Roland Rivera: Given that this tournament was held after the most recent Battlescroll and that it seems to have applied its rules (as evidenced by the points cost on the Claws of Karanak), I think it’s pretty surprising to The Coven of Thryx still being used in a Khorne list. It’s a pretty unpopular inclusion nowadays (since its spells can automatically fail on a 5+), but the endless spell popping up automatically at the start of the game and being replaced automatically when Horrors die near the Magister ameliorates that risk of failure a bit.

This list in particular was all-in on cheap fodder units to toss in front of the Coven’s endless spells to make Tzeentch Chaos Spawn – Karanak, Garrek’s Reavers, the Claws of Karanak, and the Bloodreavers all qualify for this purpose. Skarr Bloodwrath is also present in this list as a cheap, reusable source of Blood Tithe. Beyond that, we have Skarbrand as a one-man band, the Bloodthirster of Insensate Rage as a big lotto ticket that can turn off Wards, a couple of Priests to access the excellent prayer scripture, and a somewhat uncommon Command Trait in Favoured of Khorne (which gives you 1 Blood Tithe point to start the game).

While we likely won’t see many Khorne lists built with the Coven going forward, the rest of the pieces are synergistic and powerful enough that Khorne should remain a contender going forward.

Roland Rivera: I love me a good brawler list, and boy can this list brawl. Each and every one of its troops is a threat, especially when they are the recipients of the Violent Fury buff from one of the Warchanters. The decision to make Gobsprakk the General might seem like a curious one, since it means the list misses out on a command trait, but it does so to gain access to an easy Battle Tactic in Take Dat, Ya Suckers!

The troop lineup is a murderer’s row, each with its own unique advantages. Ardboyz have the strongest armor and are fresh off a points cut, Brutes are strong tech against blobs of low-Wound models, Gore-Gruntas have the best move speed, and Brute Ragerz do the most damage point-for-point while offering a bit of extra speed with their ability to run & charge. The combination of these attributes with the Weirdnob’s Great Green Hand of Gork will let you pick your fights in ways that you’re favored to win.

The lineup is rounded out by Big Waaagh! mainstays in the Wurrgog Prophet and the aforementioned Gobsprakk and Warchanters. I’m somewhat iffy on the choice of extra enhancement Gary took for his Warlord Battalion (is an extra spell on 2 casters really the best of what’s available?), but everything else is a masterful exercise in listbuilding, even if the record itself is a bit weaker than what we typically see out of a podium list.

Roland Rivera: Seeing Legion of Night featured in a list article is no surprise; it’s been by far the most consistently performing Soulblight subfaction (though the record on this particular list is a bit lower than we typically see for a list with this high a placement). The mobility tricks afforded by Mannfred & Co. allow skilled pilots to create advantageous positions with ease.

The lineup here is pretty standard fare: blobs of Summonable troops to take punches and leverage the Unbending Will command trait, Grave Guard to counterpunch, Mannfred and a Vampire Lord on Zombie Dragon to act as big, mobile threats, and a foot Vampire Lord to carry the command trait and artefact while juicing up the Grave Guard. Some lists go for more of a mix in the Summonable department, but David doubled up on the 2 mainstays in Fell Bats and Zombies, and put in a bit of interesting tech in the form of the Aethervoid Pendulum.

While the formula for Legion of Night is well established at this point, knowing what it does is only half the battle. Outmaneuvering a list capable of so many different movement tricks is easier said than done.

Roland Rivera: Once again, Khorne provides us with a spicy list for us to examine. While the bones of the list are pretty standard for a Daemon-heavy Reapers of Vengeance strategy (Unfettered Fury Bloodthirster, Skarbrand, big blob of Bloodletters, Priests and Invocations, chaff units to generate Blood Tithe), this list has a neat little curveball courtesy of its Ally inclusion. Theddra Skull-Scryer and The Godsworn Hunt give you access to spellcasting, which is a valuable resource indeed.

That said, The Godsworn Hunt is not the only spicy inclusion in this list, as it also features Magore’s Fiends as a bulky chaff unit that can summon another screen in Riptooth. As a final spicy inclusion, Fabien decided to include the Slaughter of Sorcery Grand Strategy, which requires no Wizards to be on the battlefield. Clearly, Fabien intended to use Theddra quite aggressively in the average game.

The combination of having 2 Bloodthirsters and splurging some points into interesting warbands means this list isn’t quite as Wound-dense as your typical Khorne force, but the strong result indicates that the increased utility was worth the trade-off. Well done!

Blades of Khorne – Warscroll Datacards

Reading the Datacards

Each Datacard has three distinct sections; Charge Chance, Resilience and Average Damage Output.

Charge Chance

This graph shows the move and charge distances each unit can achieve and shows the chance of them achieving this distance as a percentage.

Resilience

This table shows how much damage would be required on average to destroy the unit. This is split into the various rend types most commonly found in Age of Sigmar. For example, the unit shown in the image above would need 18 damage from -2 rend weapons for the enemy to have a chance at destroying it.

This can be cross-referenced with another units average damage output to see what kind of damage they’ll do to it.

Average Damage Output

This simply shows how much damage on average the unit is expected to inflict after saves against the various save types. If there are multiple load-out choices, then these are shown separately, as is any missile damage.
