This is the top three AoS lists for Wappler Harvest Gathering that took place in Austria on the 30th and 1st of October. It involved 20 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.

If you like what we’re doing, why not join our Patreon and help keep it going?

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.

Jon Anderson: News from the realms of order, light, and all things pointy eared.

Andreas Schwarz has proven that sometimes you don’t need a god to show everyone what you’re made of. Going undefeated this past weekend with Zaitrec Lumineth,
we have a fantastic mix of support pieces, threats, and utility all bundled into one neat 2000 points on the nose. Triumphs are for chumps. Utilizing the Spellcasting Savant
Grand Strategy is unquestionably the best option in a GT setting, and by ensuring their survival with the 10 bladelords, I would wager Andreas likely never felt much pressure on his caster
corps.

By taking the Warlord bonus for an extra spell, all of his Wizards (as well as Wizard units) become very knowledgable little elves, and their toolbox evolves from something you’d carry in your hand, to something you roll around in a shop. Nearly every spell available to him is in the list somewhere, and the power of that can not be overstated. The Enlightener packing enough spells
for a whole classroom while also having the ability to double tap the Lore of Hysh means you have a spectacular option as general, and the Rune of Senthloi is a nice change of pace!

As if summoned out of the desert itself, a wild Sevireth has appeared! Mobile, annoying, smashes faction terrain? Sounds like a winner in my book.

The three endless spells are a choice I myself am quite a fan of. This ensures you have redundancy for the battle tactic as well as producing needed projection for damage down field. I personally
would have taken a Lifeswarm, but that’s because I’m a coward.

Great list, and congratulations to Andreas on the undefeated finish.

Patrick German: We’ve once again broken away from the standard Khorne list to see a top performer with some interesting choices. We’ve discussed the Bloodmaster, Bloodthirster General, Bloodsecrator, and Bloodletters at length. They’ll perform in this list as well as they ever do, so long as Benedict plays the movement phase well (which he obviously did with his 2nd place finish).

What I would rather focus on is the addition of three Warcry warbands that we haven’t seen in top spots since the days when Slaves to Darkness was dominating the top three lists. Benedict has clearly answered the question that many of us on the Woehammer Discord regularly ask: what do you do to score turn 1?

The trouble with the current GHB is that turn one is often extremely difficult to score for some armies. Khorne’s battle tactics generally require you to kill a unit in special conditions, or finish the turn with a large number of units in combat. This really leaves two options for scoring turn one, either Intimidate the Invaders or Surround and Destroy. The first is deceptively difficult, since it defines territory instead of deployment zone, meaning some missions are requiring 11″+ of movement, which Khorne cannot reliably do. Surround and destroy however…

Enter the Untamed Beasts. For 80 points you get a 6″ pre-game move. It doesn’t matter what they can or can’t do past that point, because you are taking them for the 6″ pre-game move. The ability to quickly get out of your deployment zone and within 6″ of a board edge is scoring those battle tactics early, and if you can also manage to get your units on an objective or two, even better. The inclusion of these units should immediately make your opponent question whether to force you to take the first turn, since you can so easily start the game on a leg up.

Past that inclusion, he has the Unmade to shut of enemy commands, Karanak to help boost up the Flesh Hounds (and making summoning more effective), and Skulltaker to knock the heads off of enemy heroes to score some bonus Blood Tithe.

All around a great list that dips into some less-popular units. Congratulations on the 2nd spot, Benedict!

Danny Wadeson: Here, we have a fairly standard Manny list, but with my personal favourite chaff combo of 2x 3 Fell Bats. Their speed, ability to trade up (damage 2 and bonus attacks if they kill stuff, plus vampiric healing and 3 wounds a model) just means they’re wonderfully useful in a variety of situations – and in msu format, when they return from the dead, you’re getting 2/3 models back which is wonderful ROI.

The flex points in this list are spent on a 2nd brick of Graveguard, which makes sense because even after their points hike, they still slap like mad and play wonderfully into the army’s recursion abilities. Combined with the counter charge and the potential to be buffed by two sources (Manny killing a model with Gheistvor and the foot vamp), a double brick probably feels fairly overwhelming for most armies.

On that note, I can’t say I can instantly guess why it struggled with a Zaitrec list without seeing it. I suppose the weakness of a list like this in theory is that Graveguard rely on volume of attacks, but if you have ways to reach out and decimate them from range, they’re much less of a threat, and the vlozd is the only piece with traditional threat projection. Either way, LoN is loads of fun, and it’s nice to see a bit of experimentation within the sub-faction. Plus, it’s probably a good sign it can be beaten!

Lodivicus: Sometimes there is a recipe that just works despite various tweaks over a period of time. This list is a current GHB version of the type of army list that was very popular a couple of battlescrolls ago. Pretty much every unit in the list has had its points increased (some twice) since the release of the battletome, yet Tristan illustrates here that it can still perform at a pretty high level and still works.

In some games, you’ll be more cautious and wait for an opening. In others you’ll play aggressive right from turn one. The premise, regardless of timing, is pretty much the same.

Take one unit of Squig Herd, season it with all the buffs, and fling it across the board at your opponent. Next turn, do it again with the other Squig Herd. If the opponent manages to kill a Squig Herd, you pop another half sized unit out of the Bad Moon Loonshrine and get back in line to do it again. Send wave after wave of spiced up meatballs at an opponent until victory is yours.

So what are the main buffs, spells and abilities that spice up the list?

Need more rend? The Madcap Shaman’s Moonface Mommet and Gobbapalooza’s Nasty Poisons have your back.

Mortal wounds? Squigboss with Gnasha-squig’s Yellow Lurka, Skragrott’s Fangz of the Bad Moon, and the Madcap Shaman’s Merciless Blizzard come through.

Fight on death? Grinkrak the Great can ‘I Dub Thee…’ Moonclan (which includes Squigs) units.

5+ ward (and less commonly +1 attack)? Sneaky Snufflers’ Looncap Mushrooms.

+1 hit in melee? The troggoth ally, the Marshcrawla Sloggoth, brings his Krew Drummer to help mitigate that Squig Herd can’t receive commands.

And that’s not all, the list is still loaded with other less commonly used or situational abilities, spells and buffs too. While it may not be your grandmother’s jambalaya, packed with all of the previous ingredients from times past, it’s still plenty spicy and loaded with meatballs. It just works!

Winning Socal open with Dhom-hain

1 Comment

The Story:
Socal open is the Culmination of a year long Journey for me. Competing for me is not so much about rank and wins as it is the Path to growth and constantly chasing a higher level of skill. For all of 2022, I played the arguably worst army in the game, Kruleboyz, and resolved to master them. I chose them in no small part because it would be a huge challenge. I knew that if I played the strongest armies it wouldn’t force me to learn and grow nearly as much; And grow I did but after a year on the struggle bus even I needed a bit of a break from the frustration of randomness in a competitive game.

I picked up Idoneth because while they’re not a power army, they’re close to 50%, and in my thinking, that means the better player should win. The fish elves would be a great metric to judge my progress and see how I measured up to the best in a fair fight, but I also still hold growth as my main goal, so I set a new mission for myself. I wanted to win an RTT, or 4-1+ a GT, with every subfaction in IDK.

My first result was with Nautilar in Arizona, playing to a strong 4-1 finish with Frostheart phoenix and turtle to create a tanky death ball. Next, at Old Town Throwdown summer smash, I played to another 4-1 with Fuethan just before the buffs. That was a hard, fought grind, but I squeezed it out. After that, I. picked up Dhom-Hain and got a top 8 with 3-1-1 in Arizona smite club open, but I couldn’t quite get it, so I had to try again. Which brings us to the Socal open with my new and improved list

When building the Dhom Hain list, I knew I’d have to lean into its strategy as hard as I possibly could if I wanted it to work. Dhom-hain is not an army of reasonable choices. It is an army of explosive, risky power. With this in mind I looked to maximize the namarti savages rule, which allows me to charge if I kill everything within 3’ (and I’m going first in the round) and then fight again (not immediately).

Step 1: Killing everything within 3”.
Thralls can hit pretty hard, but on their own they’re just not getting there most of the time. They need a ton of support to do their job. 2 Thrallmasters granting exploding 6’s and reroll 1’s to hit up their consistency a ton, as well as the Leviadon giving them +1 to hit targets Wholly within 15”. These abilities combine to make the Thralls hit more times than they even have attacks. On average, dive 41 attacks from 20 thralls will hit 47-48 times. On top of that, the storm grants +1 to the wound, and Hoarfrost can increase their rend by 1-2 if you get a little lucky.

All of these auras combine to make an absolute blender of a unit, but it is 1030 points of buff pieces to set up a 220 point thrall unit.

Step 2: Charging out of phase.
If I manage to kill everything around me, I can immediately attempt a charge. This is super powerful, but anyone who has played it knows it’s not as amazing as it sounds. The thing about charging out of phase is that you can not use the command to reroll that charge, so you’re extremely reliant on the dice. I found a solution to that problem, by running 1980, I often had a triumph to reroll, which immediately adds some consistency. Additionally, the Isharann ritual for +1 to run and charge on flood tide helps things line up in your favor. But the real bit to seal the deal is the ghurish battlemage, who’s spell grants +2 to run and charge. Having run and charge, +3 to run and charge, with both a command and a triumph to reroll, and being able to charge a second time can give the thralls a max threat range of 53” in a single turn if everything lined up perfectly, and allows you to pop off much more consistently.

With this game plan laid out, and everything tuned to my goals, it was time to really put it to the test at the Socal open

TOTAL POINTS: (1990/2000)

The game began with me taking away the top of turn and flipping the tides so that when push came to shove in this beatdown matchup, I’d have control of turn 2. I had deployed as a dense castle in the center with flanking sharks and one wizard in a corner. 

Frank came in with pigs but was surprised by how hard my crack back was as my pile ins removed 5/6 pigs.

On my turn, I moved up and scored magical dominance from standing in the corner. Frank couldn’t afford to expose his Gobbsprakk just to shut off my tactic. for the rest of the game, I neglected to attempt any spell casts so as to deny him Gobbsprakk mortals.

Turn 2 came and I had always strikes first vs his entirely melee army. He had top of turn but couldnt accomplish much without taking huge damage first. On my turn I  proceeded to take out multiple other units and then doubled him to secure the win. Franks list was very nasty but Dhom hain was a solid counter to it.

Flipping the tides for Always Strikes first turn 2 meant that when he had to come in off the board edges, he couldn’t afford to be aggressive. He played far back instead, but I used chain charging to wipe ~1300 points of models in a single turn and lock him into a corner. The extra mobility i got from multi charges meant his backline castle ended up getting shredded despite his careful placement.

He tried to sneak back into the game, but idoneth mobility and me winning all 4 priority rolls helped me counter his clever mobility tactics. Despite the heavy kill ratio, the overall points scored were fairly close as it was a 6 objective map, and BOC is incredible on maps like that

This matchup was decided more than anything by it being the first time he had ever played the mission. It’s a weird one that you have to get a few reps to understand. The score was extremely lopsided, but the game itself was really techy and fun. It was a much closer game than it looked on paper overall. 

His double boom-thirsters (mortal wound AOE demons) were terrifying, and I spent the whole game very carefully measuring to make sure they couldn’t blow my army up. Turn 4, I messed that up, and he threatened to bomb me but failed to roll any 6s even with an extra attack. After that, all in play, I was able to clean up his forces bottom of 4.

This game was by far the hardest one of the whole event. Kyle played an extremely tight game, including denying me a tactic by countercharging the opposite direction I expected and barely tagging a unit that wasn’t even the charge target. On the same note, I repeatedly forced him into difficult positions with movement tricks and pile ins. I ended up grabbing it basically off of a critical 6″ redeploy to take the game by just a point. 

The game was neck and neck from start to finish and until the very last moment I had no idea who would take it. Great game and a great opponent

I deployed my army as a melee castle with a wizard off to each side being terrain but up forward, making it nearly impossible for him to score magical dominance turn 1. My castle was just far enough back that he could realistically come into me, but it’d have to be full send. 

Tad decided to go for it but didn’t manage to connect the way he’d hoped, and my entire army piled in and mopped up his squigs. On my turn, I rushed up the board, tagged corners of units, and liked in to kill them after taking very little damage. 

Then I doubled him and tabled his entire army top of turn 2

It was honestly brutal, but we had a good laugh about it. He was left with a risky play, and it didn’t pan out. BY THE POWER OF MATHLANN, I HAVE THE POWER!!! (And a Golden ticket to the World Championship in the lost city of Atlanta)

SUMMARY:

All in All Dhom hain is a super fun faction to play, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for exciting games, but I will also caution that it’s MUCH harder to play than it looks like. Most of the army is single wound infantry with 5+ saves, and all of your games are balanced on a knifes edge. If you want a heart-pounding, technically demanding, explosive army, then it is amazingly fun to play. Unfortunately, the Battlemage of Ghur is rotating out essentially immediately, so changes to the list will have to be made. Creativity and list tweaking is a huge part of the game, and i’m excited to find what new direction to take with it.

Patrick German: I love this list because Thomas has included a handful of off-meta picks. We’ve talked at length about the Slaughterpriests, Realmgore Ritualist, and Skarbrand, but we don’t see people deviate from certain selections very often and still come in first.

Thomas has opted to use a Bloodthirster of Insensate Rage as his general, breaking away from the usual Fury-thirster. Ar’gath is still there, as it is in most Khorne lists, but unrelenting hunger is a more unique choice. This allows the Bloodthirster to either make a pile-in, normal move, or charge attempt at the end of the combat phase, depending on whether he is within 3″ of an enemy unit or not. Keeping the Bloodthirster stuck in combat with the option of throwing out an Apoplectic Frenzy in the following hero phase is an excellent strategy to quickly cut your opponent down. Using the Rage-thirster in a Reapers of Vengeance list also helps mitigate the relatively poor to Hit characteristic of the Great Axe of Khorne. The potential damage output is great, but only hitting 50% of the time isn’t.

THomas has also included a Wrath of Khorne Bloodthirster with the Halo of Blood. You know that usual combination we see with the Bloodmaster + Halo of Blood + Bloodletter bomb? This is the bloodthirster bomb. Commander of Tyrants and Marshal of Khorne’s Legions combined with the Halo of Blood is going to allow the above bloodthirster to fight first in the combat phase and get hit with a free All-out Attack. This is an amazing combo as it allows your ward-denying, mortal wound-causing, axe-weilding general to obliterate whatever he’s in combat with, hopefully before they have the chance to swing back.

Meanwhile, Thomas has two sets of Claws of Karanak, 4 units of Reavers (one of which is the Garrek’s variety), and a unit of Flesh hounds. These are his scoring pieces and will help generate some additional blood tithe as they inevitably die. Of particular note are the Claws, which are more easily able to score early battle tactics like Surround and Destroy due to their pre-game move.

All in all, this is an excellent example of what can be done with the Khorne Battletome, and it’s great to see these experiments achieving first place. Congratulations to Thomas on his victory, and I hope to see more of this creativity in the future!

Patrick German: This is more of a traditional list when compared to the above. Derick has opted for Bloodlords, which is a fun choice. Extra mortal wounds for those two bloodletter squads is deadly, and the fact that you can keep summoning bloodletter units for the rtealitvely low price of 4 blood tithe points means that the fun can continue into the late stages of the battle.

Derick has included two 360 pt bloodletter units which will be doing an average of 20 mortal wounds after a charge, assuming they are fighting backed up by the Bloodsecrator’s extra attacks. The bloodthrone will put in work to keep those letters alive, as his warscroll prayer can bring back D6 bloodletters ona 2+ (assuming he is within 3″ of an enemy unit). He’s also included 2 bloodmasters in his list, one for each bloodletter unit, to provide some extra support and damage.

Past there, Derick has included a unit of Bloodreavers (excellent for taking an objective or dying to generate some blood tithe) and two units of flesh hounds to score battle tactics and grab objectives.

This is an excellent list with a lot of good tools in the toolbox. Derick can threaten large portions of the board, providing a unit that can screen the opponent away from his scoring units while killing enemies off objectives.

Hanna Leppänen: This list is a pretty typical “99” Horror list, which has two double-reinforced units of Crypt Horrors. It is not a Hollowmourne list, so it trades Battleline Horrors and Run+Charge for Delusion: Feast Day which gives you the option to use Feeding Frenzy ability without CP being spent. It also gives you the option to pick CT and Artifacts freely because the FEC book is the last one to have subfaction -locked CT/artifact. Haunter Courtier as General makes the Horrors battleline instead. Overshadow can be hard GS to complete depending on the meta, so kudos for Shannon for being successful with it. Some summon choices (particularly Flayers) can help a bit to chase down teleporting battleline units.

That being said, this list foregoes screens apart from the 10 Crypt Ghouls and pretty much is designed to go all in and table your opponent early on. 9 Horrors are 36 wounds with 6+ ward, and if you don’t kill them in one turn, they can get mustered back, and make no mistake, 9 Horrors hit super hard, especially with Feeding Frenzy and Hoarfrost. They can also be quite fast even without Run&Charge, since on a casting roll of 10+ Deranged Transformation (easy enough with Primal Dice and Acolytes batallion) can be applied to 3 units, and can choose the same unit multiple times, giving a unit of 9 Horrors effectively 12″ extra movement! No wonder there are multiple sources of the spell in the army.

Horribly Resilient (Royal blood heals 3 wounds instead of D3) for ZD mount trait is an uncommon pick, but makes one think the GKoZD’s role is to give the re-roll wounds aura, Feeding Frenzy, Rend aura and to keep up with the Horrors, while staying alive as well as possible.

Danny Wadeson: Well, it’s a Seraphon list with the Spinedog. I wish it wasn’t, but this is the timeline we live in. Perhaps one day GW will relent, and admit that the boney nuisance was never really meant to be used outside of fluffy campaign play and we’ll all go back to being able to move our models around, but until then – let’s just ignore it and see what else Mr. Freed was rolling with.

It’s your standard Fangs core, minus Kroak (the Spinedog points gotta come from somewhere) – and, leaning into the theme of balancing star-power with some brute, physical force – he also brings a reinforced unit of Aggradons. Overall it’s quite an interesting idea, partly due to the fragility of pure-magic Starborne builds that rely on rapid summoning to control the board and put up screens. But the Spinedog shutting down falling back also combos with the Aggradon rage counter, meaning if the Spinedog can tag something, and the Aggradons charge it – and that enemy unit somehow survives, then the Aggradons Rage counter is guaranteed to tick up. Over a couple of rounds I can imagine that leaves the opponent rather a lot to be wary of while the Starborne shenanigans carry on in the background.

The list lost only to Khorne, which isn’t terribly surprising, and definitely proved it can deal with Gitz! Either way, congrats to Freed for a great result.

Roland Rivera: Despite this tournament being in a 2-list format, our winner seems to has thumbed his nose at that notion, as both of his lists are exactly the same! He has gone for the Hero-heavy Khorne approach which seems to be gaining momentum of late, as he has maxed out his Hero selections.

The list is anchored by Skarbrand and the Bloodthirster of Unfettered Fury, which are a vital source of mobility in the form of 3D6″ charges (Skarbrand for himself, the Unfettered Fury Thirster for anyone) and doing most of the damage. The list also packs several Priests (including the Unfettered Fury Thirster itself) to help power out whatever Prayer or Invocation is the most useful at the moment (and this list has a pretty deep selection). An interesting addition is Theddra Skull-Scryer as an Ally (likely for Andtorian Locus-centered Battle Tactics). Skarr Bloodwrath rounds out the Hero lineup as a cheap, recurring space blocker that can also double as a source of Blood Tithe.

These Heroes have some troop support in the form of a blob of Bloodletters and Magore’s Fiends, but they will mostly be asked to do the heavy lifting in combat, on both offense and defense. Overall, this style of Khorne list seems to be gaining momentum this season, so don’t be surprised if you see similar lists going forward.

Walter Brock: What happens when Bonereapers and Soulblight work together in the same list? You get some spooky synergies. Gavin’s list has an unusual twist in the fact it doesn’t run 7 Bonereapers units to max out their command points, but more on that later. Onto the list.

Starting off we have Null Myriad. We’ve seen this do well quite a bit over the past few months. Being able to stop powerful spells on a 2+. When things like merciless blizzard exists is incredibly powerful. Very important to note. Katakros and the Regiment of renown do not benefit from Null Myriad.

Spellcasting savant has become the go-to choice for Bonereapers at this point. Killing the ossifector next to six Immortis guard is a very tall order.

First we have the powerful Combo of Katakros and Arkhan. Katakros makes everything tougher with his 1+ to save and +1 to hit Aura in a massive 24 in Aura. While also applying crippling affects to the opponent by giving a enemy unit -1 to hit and also potentially making the opposing player lose a command point each turn. Arkhan being a magical powerhouse in death, second only to Nagash himself. With three casts and unbinds at +2 he can compete with the best casters in the game. He basically has the hunger like vampires from soulblight. So he gets healing from doing some damage in combat. They also each come with an incredible healing ability. Leading to a potential total of 18 wounds of healing each Bonereapers hero phase at minimum.

The ossifector is an interesting choice. While it won’t be able to use the main ability on its warscroll due to the unit in the army. The Artifact applys a 9 inch Aura of +1 to wound in melee. Meaning Immortis guard can now be hitting and wounding on 2s. This artifact alongside Katakros makes the list incredibly efficient. Hoarfrost adds more good support of making numbers even better. Diversion tactics creates a powerful -3 charge bubble for enemy units. Potentially denying battle tactics or key enemy charges.

Death riders are seen everywhere these days for OBR. Easy battle tactic. Good screen. Good for almost any job. And with all the buffs the list can provide. Any unit of deathriders could be a deadly threat.

Immortis guard are incredibly tanky being 5 wounds and a 2+ save under Katakros. Arkhan throwing up mystical shield and All out defense will making Immortis almost impossible to take down.

Lastly is the Soulblight Regiment of renown. These act as a normal corpse cart and zombies unit with a few differences. The corpse cart is now a hero. This lets it benefit from the -1 to hit from look out sir, and adds another model that can issue commands (No OBR commands since it isn’t a Bonereapers model). And the big thing is the corpse cart gives off a 12 inch bubble of -1 to ward saves for enemy units within range. The zombies provide a cheapish screen. Something bonereapers don’t normaly have access to.

All of this ends up as a three drop list. Well done to this player.

Roland Rivera: Taran Birk has brought us a spicy morsel of a Khorne list. Most lists of the Blood God’s forces rely on their troops – not this one. Instead, this list has gone for the full 6 Heroes (including the double Warlord battalion), the full 3 Invocations, and mostly kept the troops to the “cheap objective holders” role. Think of it as Khorne’s best Tzeentch impression.

The stars of the show are Skarbrand and the Bloodthirster of Unfettered Fury, which will be giving you 3D6″ charges (Skarbrand for himself, the Unfettered Fury Thirster for anyone) and doing the heavy lifting in the damage department. The list also has several Priests (including the Unfettered Fury Thirster itself) to help power out whatever Prayer or Invocation is the most useful at the moment. Skarr Bloodwrath rounds out the Hero lineup as a cheap, recurring space blocker that can also double as a source of Blood Tithe.

Some interesting additions are Khagra’s Ravagers as an Ally (likely for the teleporting objective grabbing threat of Mask of Darkness, and Andtorian Locus-centered Battle Tactics) and a Cockatrice as a deterrent for charging into one of the big guys. Overall, this style of Khorne list seems to be gaining momentum, so don’t be surprised if you see similar lists going forward.

Kevin Lathers: Noe has run a very similar list to good effect previously. With some slight tweaks in that list he seems to have improved his standing. Always good to see effective adjustments.

With only a single priest with Wrath of Vulcatrix (to secure the Grand Strat), this list foregoes the usual inclusion of a Runesmiter as well as any Magmadroths. Instead it relies on the Runemaster’s Ember Storm prayer and the new hero’s once per game 6″ bubble of Run + Charge to add any speed it needs. Further, the Grimwrath Berserker can be given Run + Charge as an oath or stick near the Grimhold to soak up the buff and take a different Oath. This makes the list surprisingly quick, albeit only one time.

With all these vulkites and Hearthguard Berserkers, the list can certainly sit on objectives and hold them, relying on the Flamekeeper buffs, Counterstrike, and Fight on Death to hold any charging waves of opponents to very poor trades. And then, if opponents do charge into the lines, the flamekeepers will often maintain their buffs for a counter charge/fight on the next turn with +2 damage on a units weapons; this can be devastating on the Broadaxe berserkers, sending them to 4 damage swings or making a Vulkite Axe unit have 3 damage swings with a ton of attacks.

His matchups were mostly favorable for Fyreslayers — SoB are notoriously a DPS check and that’s an area Fyreslayers seldom struggle with; further the new hero can be quite potent if he can get his once per game nuke on a gargant, rolling 35 to 40 dice for an average of 17 to 20 mortal wounds on a single attack. But managing a draw against Khorne is impressive with a Fyreslayers’ list which relies on auras, which Khorne can mess up with their controls, and shows not only the tankiness of the list but the skill of the pilot. Khorne can control the battlefield in such an exreme way while being tankier, hitting as hard as FS for less cost, and being able to deny the grand strat; so pulling out a draw is quite good.

Overall it’s a solid list piloted by a good player. Falling just shy of a the golden 5-0 but still claiming undefeated is no easy feat with Fyreslayers in the current meta.
