Danny Wadeson: First off, let me congratulate Solomon Morrow, not just on 1st place but also on actually kinda having a vampire esque name. Love to see it.

The list is Legion of Night, known primarily for its teleporting, Morbheg Claw wizards who can zip in, nuke a fool with Blizzard (and this one knows all the spells thanks to Shaman of the Chilld Lands) and then TP back out in the opponent’s hero phase – sneaky!

It’s also got Mannfred, who has multiple shenanigans and doesn’t see enough play in his own faction, along with your usual smattering of MSU deadwalkers, the usual VloZD and Graveguard brick, who’re a little more appropriately costed these days but still a fantastic hammer.

Assuming you’ve heard of Soulblight before, there’s not much else to comment on here other than it being quite interesting to see msu zombies. But it has Mannfred in, so I’m happy – I’d love to know how many times he counter-charged with fight first to disrupt the opponent’s plans!

Kieran Bailey: Just as I settle in to write the words, “now Tzeentch can use the spell Rupture to make the Incarnate go wild” I look down the rest of the list and realise that there isn’t actually a Krondspine! Atta boy, David!

So what do we actually have. Well, there’s the Guild of Summoners with their easy to score ‘Call for Change’ Battle Tactic (Summon a Lord of Change) that means that the Tzeentch player had an excellent chance of scoring 10 points for Battle Tactics and 3 points for the Grand Strategy, which is an excellent start to any game.

Leading this force there is the still very good Kairos, though overpriced – 25 points more than Kroak? Come on GW?! Along with the Eternal Shroud allowing Fate Dice to come back, Kairos’ one per turn means there should be plenty of ways to tip the odds in his favour.

One place where those odds being tipped could be handy is when sending in the Enlightened on Disc. If you can guarantee a charge and buff up the flying bird-goats with Hoarfrost then they will be able to do a truly epic amount of damage, particularly if their target’s save is reduced by one with the Arcane Sacrifice spell. The Enlightened also prevent command abilities being used in the fight phase, so could be fighting at effectively rend -4.

Another piece of tech that has become more powerful with the change to Cogs is the Tome of Eyes as this gives you the re-rolls back, though only on one caster – probably Kairos. It’s also not a predatory spell, so can get around limitations on casting those.

The only blemish on David’s path to 4-1 was a Khorne matchup that is very difficult for any magic heavy army and, in fact, most armies at the moment. Congrats on an excellent result, David – may many more come in future!

Kieron Bailey: Kaleb Walters, the Lord of Lords of Change is at it again with yet another 5-0 and event victory in the bag. There are some Kaleb staples in this list: Guild of Summoners, a Krondspine, Kairics as screens that are just annoying enough to be a pain and a Lord of Change in place of Kairos.

Added to this are some tweaks added by the new GHB in the shape of all three new spells being represented. Hoarfrost in addition to Tzaangor could result in 30 rend -3 attacks from a unit that can run and charge; Merciless Blizzard for a close-range magical shotgun and, much to the relief of the Magister the Krondspine is bonded to, the spell Rupture can make the Krondspine go wild without having to kill the Magister using Destiny Dice. Just in case you haven’t come across this trick before, not only do you get the +1 to hit and run and charge but you can feed it the Umbral Spellportal each turn to keep it at top level for the whole game.

The Lord of Change load out also is a tip of the hat to the nerf to Chronomantic Cogs, with the Nine-eyed Tome being used to give the Big Bird full re-rolls to cast along with Daemonspark to give Kaleb a real headstart to getting the 9 Fate Points needed for a Lord of Change T1.

The other real strength of this list is its ability to pump up the rend in a variety of ways. We’ve already covered Hoarfrost, but the Ogroid also has Arcane Suggestion, with one of the options being to reduce the armour save by one of an enemy and then there’s the Purple Sun to subtract one from save rolls.

To summarise, you have a list that can really throttle the damage it can do, with a range of battle tactics at its disposal (all book tactics are achievable with this build) and driven by a general at the height of his powers. The end result – another well-deserved trophy for Kaleb!

Walter Brock: Today, we are looking at a Null Myriad list. Null Myriad has been popping up for a while this season, and we can expect them to be a staple for Bonereaper lists. An important thing to note is that Katakros is Mortis Preatorians so he will not be able to benefit from the 2+ spell ignore while wholly within 9” of a Mortisan hero, but proper positioning can easily mitigate that.

The Grand strategy of choice is spell casting savant. Combining this with the Immortis Guard. Means that pretty much almost half the list must die before the General can even die.

Katakros is a powerhouse. Giving a massive 24” bubble on +1 to hit and +1 to save makes everything in the list better and perform above their weight. Katakros himself is no slaker either in melee. He starts slow, but when he takes damage, he gets better and better. When he sees an enemy hero, he gets to work and acts at the most “fighty profile” being able to take down even the toughest of targets.

The Boneshaper bringing the artisans key allows it to potentially use its healing ability twice. Combining this with Katakros’s healing ability could allow this list to revive four Immortis guard a turn. Boneshaper uses its ability twice and Katakros can pick both Immortis units. Its war scroll spell is also very powerful for clearing large units. Rolling a dice for every model in a unit and doing a mortal for every 5+ can lead to very large amounts of damage.

The Soulmason helps cranks the army up and over the hill for list support. Masons know every spell in the Bonereapers lore so they can take Hoarfrost without giving anything up in return. They have two casts and could potentially get more casts of their war scroll spell “Soul- guide” at the end of the hero phase. Giving a Deathrider or Mortek unit +1 to wound. Dark acolyte causes their first spell from the Ossiarch Lore not stoppable. Imagine a unit of death riders hitting on twos, wounding on threes, at a potential Rend three because of hoarfrost and exploding 5s to hit for the riders because of Empower nadorite. Ouch.

The Deathriders can do many things. From acting as screen to taking very far objective. With the above-mentioned combo they can hit incredibly hard. With the ability to do mortal wounds on the charge, being able to charge over models with three or less wounds for a command ability and having a 6” inch pile in on the charge they can get into vary hard to reach places and snipe out important models or get into places that are very inconvenient for an opponent.

Lastly, we arrive on the Immortis Guard. Two whole units of these beasts of bone. These take the hurt and can dish them out in Return. Being able to bodyguard for heros is very powerful and means that the important support models usually won’t die until the models they are supporting are already gone. Just be careful, the Immortis’s bodyguard ability is not optional. Meaning a player might be able to get around the Immortis and hit the Boneshaper or Mason in the back and find it easier to do damage to Immortis that way.

All of this fits nicely inside a battle Regiment. Giving the Bonereapers player most of the time the option of deciding who will go first. A very cool list and very hard to take down. Well done to this player!

We’ve little in the way of Nighthaunt specialists at the Woe Towers, so I asked for Nighthaunt volunteers from our friendly discord, and Craig was up for the challenge! We’ll no doubt be hearing more from Craig in the future!


Craig Ellis: at this, a 5-0 Nighthaunt list! I’ll preface the breakdown by pointing out this was piloted by Nate Trentanelli who, as the #1 Nighthaunt player in the world, should probably start with a 500pt handicap or something. Anyway, on to the list, and this list is absolutely bonkers.

Running the subfaction Emerald host means he’ll pick D3+1 units at the start of the battle and at the end of each battle round can do D3 Mortal Wounds (on a 2+) to each of them. This is going to be great to put on those pesky Andtorian Loci to chip away and start finishing them off by Round 3 or 4. Fright or Flight as the Grand Strategy is pretty standard at this point and easily achieved due to the mobility of this list.

He’s gone magic heavy with the heroes in this list, clearly trying to make use of the Primal mechanic and the excellent utility in the NH spell lore. The Guardian of Souls is an AL and carries the Midnight Tome artefact, which autocasts an endless spell once per battle that cannot be unbound. Seal of Shyish will provide a 5+ ward to a nearby unit for added tankiness for holding objectives and his built in warscroll spell can heal (or resurrect) up to d6.

Reikenor the Grimhailer is an underrated caster who can get +3 to cast in exchange for taking a MW. This means he’s going to be getting Shademist off pretty reliably for that sweet -1 to Wound on a unit, making that objective holding bubble that much tougher to shift. He’ll also be great for hunting down wizards with his 14″ movement and bonus to attacks with Fellreaper for fighting priests and wizards. Then there’s the Knight of Shrouds on Steed, which is a bit of an off meta pick (which this list specialises in!). He has the Arcane Tome to make him a wizard (as well as an AL), which means he can jump for a ride with Lauchon the Bringy Dinghy (which you’re autocasting with the GoS). The 12″ movement of the KoSoES means you’re pretty much getting into combat with whatever you want in turn 1. He has a decent combat profile, meaning he’s going to be making short work of any annoying screens or enemy ALs. The command trait Spiteful Spirit means he’s going to be rolling a d6 for each wound on his wounds characteristic and for each 4+ will be a MW for every unit within 6″. Adding wounds to his characteristic throughout the battle with the Sword of Stolen Hours ability means this can get real nasty, real fast. The trigger for this is that he has to take damage and not die, but as long as you pick targets wisely, this can be wicked.

As for the Units. Hexwraiths (25 of them!) and 20 Crossboos. I mean, why wouldn’t you!? The Hexwraiths are going to be scattering, capping objectives, scoring tactics, doing impact hits on the charge, and just generally giving the opponent a lot to think about. The ability to move up to 30″ in a turn means they’re going to be wherever they want to be, and having 4 separate units of them is just going to give the opponent nightmares. Whilst they’re figuring out how to deal with that, he has 3 units of Craventhrone Guard blobbing up, getting made more tanky by spells and just generally being a bit of a pain to shift and doing chip damage with shooting attacks. The ability to put up to 3 units in the grave at the start of the battle also means these can pop up anywhere on the field outside of 9″ for some extra chip damage. Two blocks of Myrmourn Banshees provide spell eating capability to shore up one of the main weaknesses here (taking MWs) and being a decent melee hammer in their own right. The Mortalis Terminexus provides an additional Mortal Wound threat to round off the high MW damage theme this army has going on. It can also reverse time, meaning it can provide healing for his heroes as required. The aim here is to remove the opponents’ support & tech pieces early on to reduce threats. It just so happens that wins versus Khorne, Kruleboyz, OBR & SBGL (x2) all armies that are prone to being reliant on auras and buffs from small foot heroes, wizards & priests. With the added impetus on ALs in this GHB means this list has been tailor-made to carefully dismantle an armies’ tricks & capabilities rather than fight a pitched battle in the middle. To win with this clearly takes skill & intrinsic knowledge of the movement abilities and just the sheer ability to force your opponent into mistakes by giving them too many decisions to make. Nate is clearly a master of the army, and to go 5-0 with this is absolute genius. Well done!

Our next commentator needs no introduction! You’re probably on his discord and have watched all of his videos on the YouTubes. Coach is, as you’re all aware, a big Gargants fan, so I asked him if he’d be interested in commenting on this list and telling us a bit about Gargants in the new GHB.


G’day Stompers, let’s break down the deep options available to us Sons of Behemat players and how this list works.

Sons are in an interesting spot in the meta with the Generals Handbook ‘23. The latest Woehammer meta stats have shown that Sons of Behemat have a strong win rate but low representation at tournaments.
We can’t play with Andtorian Locus (GW can we PLEASE ally some 70pt wizard) which not only stops me from Hoarfrosting my Gate-Breaker’s flail down to a 2+ to Hit but also restricts how many GHB battle tactics we can score. If you want to do well, you’ll need to build a list that makes the most of your Battletome BT’s.

The list starts with 2x Gate Breaker Mega Gargants who deals the most damage compared to the counterparts. Gate Breakers have recently enjoyed a points discount which has helped this list all but secure the +1 to wound Triumph at 1,900 points as it’s critical to getting the most out of their flail attack.

Sons power comes from staying alive as most armies struggle to claim an objective off a Mega Gargant. Monstrously Tough command trait adds +5 wounds to the General and the Glowy Shield of Protection will ignore rend -1 attacks and bounce some mortal wounds back on a save roll of a 6.

While we don’t get access to Hoarfrost or Merciless Blizzards we do get access to Primal Magic Dice and the Hand-carved Nullstone Icon is a great selection as it allows one of the Megas to attempt to unbind 1 spell or dispel 1 endless spell each round. Put some primal magic dice behind that unbind without fear of a primal miscast, and each time you unbind/dispel with this unit you’ll get 1 additional unbind.

Why not take a 4th Mega Gargant you might ask? The 3 independent Mancrushers bring a lot to a Sons army.

  • They can be left on an objective and will counting as 10 which makes it hard to steal from deep strikes and requires commitment to claim it off us.
  • In Breaker Tribe you can issue Ramming Speed to a Mancrusher for a 3D6” charge which brings greater consistency to your charge phase, be used to score Bait and Trap or Led into the Maelstrom battle tactic, as well as a few cheeky mortal wounds to your opponent when completing that charge.
  • Make the Land Tremble! grand strategy requires a unit to run or charge each turn and in a 4 Mega Gargant list you can find this hard to achieve if you’re grinding it out in combat.

Gargant players hate units that ignore rend and with ethereal vampire lords on zombie dragons or in the case of David’s first 2 matches, a really unfortunate double Nighthaunt match up, the Gate-Breakers come into their own with the ultimate gamble in Pulverising Strike where you trade your attacks for 1 single dice roll. If you can roll a 4+, 1 unit within 3” will suffer 4D6 mortal wounds. With the inconsistent attack profiles in Sons, this attack is worth the gamble because you’ll likely do more damage than trying to grind it out without rend.

I’d be curious to hear from David on the value that the Kraken Eater brought and if the army would have performed better with a Warstomper to clear the hordes or King Brodd with his 40 wounds and incredibly valuable set of prayers. Well done on stomping a mudhole mate!
