Kieren Coates: Now this is my own list so i can provide a bit more insight into this one!

However, variants of this list have been floating around for some time, especially since it ran second place at the GW open in Atlanta – however I was personally destroyed by one of the OG’s of bells in the current meta, Stuart the iron gutsman in a skaven mirror months prior.

With the list facing a 120 point nerf in the recent battlescroll, changes were needed to be made and the most optimal change was reducing one bell down to a seer, but honestly… i think its better

By taking a seer instead, it gives access to both blizzard and hoarfrost which are incredibly pivotal spells, with hoarfrost greatly assisting in two of my wins (Big Waaagh and gargants), and now with the new wizard finders having a 3rd small hero means you have access to warlord, and then using the priest to provide wizard finders to the 30 censors for that critical 5+ spell block.

The concept of the list is simple – with 6 masterclan/pestilence heroes unless the enemy fights you, you have your grand strategy by default. Combined with simple tactics you can very easily score 28 points.

Now, that means if the enemy can do the same, it comes down to who can control the primaries for those critical turns – not only does this list have the bodies to outmuscle most lists, but skabbick’s prayer to automatically take an objective if his squad is on it is brutal in control matchups, game changingly so in some cases.

Sit in the most optimal zone of the board, force the enemy to have to take the risk into you, and if they are unable to piece through the screaming bells, furnaces and clanrats then expect them to be cleared by the powerhouse that is 2×15 censors.

on the charge with prayer, all out attack and skabbicks pack within 18″ its 75 attacks, 2’s, 2’s, rend 1 damage 2

For context thats 70 damage into a 4+ save enemy – thats without adding in hoarfrost, skavenbrew, or death frenzy to further fight again when your models die

Be aware however the list isnt without weakness – if your PCB’s die early by not protecting them, or they are shot down from a distance you will be left with all bodies and no teeth. Against ranged lists you must use smart positioning, soulscream bridge and gnawholes to close the gap and get into threat range while controlling the board with the remaining bodies

While the list has been nerfed by 120 points, it still certainly has its punch and can beat down on most melle armies, but be afraid of the ranged powerhouses that can take out your hammers before they get a chance to engage.

Peter: I’ve been lucky enough to know the PlasticCraic team for a while now. So when Joel popped up in the listing, we decided to do something a little different for his list review!

Peter: Thanks for agreeing to do this! We don’t often see Sons topping the tables of events these days. What is it that separates your list from other Sons lists that gave you that little extra zing?

Joel: Funnily enough, the list i took seems to be ‘the’ brodds stomp list getting around at the moment, and I’d be wrong to take the credit for coming up with it. It does play vastly different to a regular sons list. Their biggest flaw was ironically survivability. Megas have been used as the yard stick for damage output since they were released, and in brodds stomp you kind of fix that flaw by getting a 5+ ward on brodds 40 wounds. The extra zing would have to be the kings stomp, which is the brodds stomp specific monstrous action. I used this pretty aggressively to tie up units and snipe out heroes. Throwing terrain is cool and all, but this one takes the cake for me.

Peter: Your only loss came to Kieren and his ratties. Was this just a weight of numbers issue that caused the issue for your megas? Not discounting that Kieren is probably the top Skaven player.

Joel: Kieren had a dream turn 1, applying every buff to 15 plague sensor bearers, including a -3 rend hoarfrost. I didn’t zone out the bridge properly, and he got into my guts, wiping out the warstomper and a mancrusher with a 12″ charge. Safe to say, the 20 attacks a model (sarcasm) comfortably lifted them with ease. Skaven can be a really tough matchup for sons, between the debuffs from the bells and weight of dice from stupidly cheap 2 wound rats. Full credit to Kieren, though. VICGT was his first 5-0, and he deserved the win. I doubt I’m the only one to say that I’m glad to see the back of PCBs leading into 4th!

Peter: So are there any changes you’d make to the lost following VICGT? Or are you looking to have fun with it all for the lame duck period?

Joel: There’s a good chance I’ll be playing sons again for fatal4play, which is a 4-player teams event in June. And after VICGT, I’ll most likely swap out the gatebreaker for a krakeneater. Hitting on 4+s really sucks, and I used the pulverising strike ability more than I’d like to admit. The krakeneater adds some objective kicking, which is always handy, especially when in brodds you dont want to spread out too much and lose the 5+ ward. Krakens do less damage, but atleast they hit on 3+s base and are another good choice to hurl terrain with as you get more milage out of an all out attack, given they come with a decent shooting profile already.

Peter: Thanks Joel!

ENDLESS SPELLS & INVOCATIONS

TOTAL POINTS: 1950/2000

A…K: A very interesting list from Jordan that makes great use of Belthanos’ force multiplying capabilities by going down the multi-hammer archetype. Durthu and belthanos are an excellent tag team, 11″ of movement + charge on a high damage platform like durthu is nothing to sniff at. The list also sports Drycha, who’s impressively self-sufficient and perfectly capable of bullying smaller units/sniping characters with her deadly ranged flitterflies. She is also able to remain self-sufficient with Regrowth and the threat of a deadly unleash hell.

The warsong rev general, fresh off its points cut, provides one of the best savant bids out there whilst opening up the board with Verdant blessings and spiteswarm hive charges all from the safety of your deployment zone.

Finally, and most intriguingly, the Namarti Reaver allies are a wonderful little tech piece. Sylvaneth often struggle to reliably deal damage with large portions of their army with the focus on strike and fading key pieces. The namarti are able to alleviate some of this burden by opening up additional avenues of consistent damage at up to 26″ range, helping to strip screens, provide chip damabe and bait All out defence in conjunction with Drycha’s shooting. They are a steal at just 320 points for the lot while not relying on an arch revenant in the same way that Kurnoth bows in a similar role might.
The list also wields 45 ablative wounds spread across 5 units, which grants it an uncharacteristic level of board presence for a Sylvaneth army.

Jake: This is a list that I’ve played frankly too many times at this point, and was designed to strike the right balance between objective control and power projection. With half my reinforcement points in Serfs and half in Knights, the core gameplay pattern is fairly simple: sit behind a massive wall of Serfs to score primary; jump over said wall with flying Knights to counterpunch and do battle tactics. Get charged and then charge – peak Warhammer!

Of course, this is aided by the extreme efficiency of the Royal Beastflayer blocks, who have outgrown their utility role of only suppressing Monsters and are pound-for-pound the best tarpit in the book. Their interaction with Chalice of Ushoran and the Archregent’s Countless Servants (as a unit with multi-wound models that nonetheless count as 1 wound) offers them eye-watering recursion potential. Many lists simply don’t have the raw damage required to cleanly remove them, and it’s always a tragedy when that happens – the five or so remaining models quickly balloon back to their full 20, choking out the objectives. There are plenty of tricks you can do with Beastflayers due to their unique footprint and the fact that all the damage comes from 6 models, so I find they are a joy to play with on the table.

I’ve opted to use a 6-block of Morbheg knights as my primary damage delivery system, as they are fairly buff agnostic, fast, and offer a source of mortals. Previous versions of the list used a second block of Morbhegs, but I have made the call to switch them for Flayers. This decision has aged well: Flayers open up a bespoke battle tactic, make numerous other battle tactics easier, allow you to move your Feeding Frenzy aura far upfield, and do significant damage in shooting, often drawing out a crucial All-Out Defense. I round out my list with two copies of the best Abhorrant and the best Courtier, respectively. Because my recursion is mostly passive or from the chalice, I am freed up to skip Cruel Taskmaster and make an Abhorrant my General, securing access to the very reliable Spellcasting Savant.

TOTAL POINTS: (1990/2000)

Kieron Bailey: A good 4-1 outcome with a variation on what a lot of Tzeentch lists are turning to (including mine!) which is buffing spells with a combat threat to back it up. Most chosen spells are focused on buffing your own units so it totally cuts out any spell ignores from Khorne or Null Myriad. In addition, with Cult Demagogue, the Curseling can auto-cast any of its spells using a pair of Destiny Dice that have the same number and it cannot be unbound. This can guarantee a Blizzard goes off or a Shield of Fate to make the Enlightened Hammer piece a bit more survivable. Usually this might only happen once a game, but with the Eternal Shroud potentially regenerating Destiny Dice, it might be a few times across the game that this trick can be pulled off.

While potentially being able to generate 9 Fate Points to summon a Lord of Change in their first hero phase, it’s probably easier to go for Magical Dominance with the Curseling as with 9 Destiny Dice, you’ll have a couple of doubles. Then turn 2 is when Big Bird appears followed by one or two other Tzeentch battle tactics and then a nice, straightforward Intimidate the Invaders with the Grand Strategy as the icing on the cake.

What the Tzeentch player needs is time for all of this to come together and the Pink Horrors partly do this (though 50 wounds on a mostly 6+ save isn’t as good as it was at the start of 3rd) but Belakor is the trump card here, allowing a key unit to be shut down for one or maybe two turns, possibly preventing a battle tactic and presenting chaos with the victory.

Kieren Coates: Ridge has come through with a real mixed bag of skaven, focused on lots of bodies across the board and playing for points.

Starting off with the first choice is shaman of the chilled lands on the grey seer, enabling spellcasting savant as the grand strategy to score it if the grey seer is alive. With a 3+ bodyguard on the seer, -1 to be hit at range and melle next to clanrats, and the ability to scurry away this little caster is harder to kill than his warscroll may suggest.

However, it’s not a simple option, as with 8 rat ogors in the list, the loss of consistency from Hordemaster on the Master Moulder is sorely missed, however Ridge has opted for the stronger grand strategy which is respectable in a control style list.

With 8 rat ogors, 10 censors, a hell pit, skreech and jaws it has enough damage to clear most lists which dont respect its output, while having plenty of wounds and recursion to clog up the board for a long fight.

Well done on the 4-1!

All the data used in the charts on this article are drawn from events that have been hosted on Best Coast Pairings, Stats & Ladders and Ecksen using the points and FAQs from Battlescroll: Tactics of Andtor published in September 2023.

This chart shows the faction popularity, using the number of players using them at events.

The Combined win rate chart shows the overall win rate for these subfactions. This is the most comparable data to GW’s own metawatch articles. The figure in brackets shows the number of games featuring that subfaction the data is drawn from.

The above shows the win rates for each subfaction at GT events. These are events of single player tournaments of 2,000 points per player spread over a minimum of 5 rounds. This would be considered the most competitive view, with many of the players being experienced and looking to optimise their lists.

RTT/Casual shows the win rates for events that are not classified as a GT event. This could be doubles, teams, narrative, but mostly revolves around single day events known as RTTs.

The nitty gritty of a faction! This chart shows the win rate for lists where the specified warscroll has been included in the players list. The figure in brackets shows the number of games that featured the warscroll.

This shows the source of the Grand Strategy used in the players’ games, whether they are from the Battletome or the General’s Handbook.

Here you can see both the win rate of each Grand Strategy when it was used, as well as the popularity of the strategies.

Like our Grand Strategy source chart, this shows the same information but for Command Traits.

Tomasz Mucha: This Khorne build is an MSU style control list. Early in the game it is trying to flood objectives with bodies and run at the opponent forcing multiple combats. Bloodstoker helps with a quick delivery and Skullfiend Tribe (unmodified charge rolls of 8 = strike first) combined with the banner of blood artifact (re-roll charges aura) helps apply the damage before the opponent has a chance to respond. When the opponent eventually responds, it triggers another wave of damage from the Murderous to the Last battle trait and eventually units dying generate Blood Tithe Points for Khorne. This is when the summoning engine kicks in, and the army that just shrinked into very few pieces starts growing again, summoning hordes of daemons (mostly Bloodletters and Flesh Hounds). When the dust settles and the grind is over, Khorne’s ability to pin stuff down and control the late game puts people into tough positions, often denying battle tactics or easily manouvering around the board.

Oskar Jeszke: Skaven after small adjustments with the new battlescroll.. Army that basically cheats on most of the core mechanics by turning off objectives with skabbik, copying charges, spreading dmg from bells, blocking CP while you can do absurd amounts of dmg from Plague Censer Bearers. Most armies have a really hard time trying to fight you because after being forced to hit bells and having to deal with glass atomic bomb of PCB, opponents usually realize that they can’t score obj and you win

Mariusz Dotka: Nurgle did what Nurgle does best – slow grind with Glottkin in the middle. Despite the nerf of Sloppity, Plaguebearers are still a solid battleline able to withstand a lot of attacks. They would have been even better if not the error in the list – Hoarfrost instead of Fleshy Abundance. Fortunately it was not a game changer as the buffed Beast of Nurgle was able to deal a lot of damage. Beside Glottkin, Bloab was a solid second pick. Miasma of Pestilence is a very good spell with effect that can be triggered in almost every phase. Bloab’s ability for -1 to hit and shoot combined with a roar is a good way to keep him alive. I hesitated a little with the last big hero but in the end I decided to go with Morbidex because of his healing ability. Poxbringer is a good choice for a general (when you choose the right spell he is even better) and fits well for Grand Strategy (Control the Nexus). When everybody was busy with Glottkin and Maggoth Lord’s, he was slowly moving to the table center. Last pick was Gutrot. Thanks to his and Rotmire’s point decrease, they were a solid pick (changed at the last moment from another last Maggoth). They turned out to be a great choice – durable, providing disease points, sniping small heroes or capturing the objectives. As for the summons – best pick for me is still a Beast of Nurgle and in the endgame another Poxbringer if needed. Plaguebearers are good blockers however and Nurglings are good for stealing objectives from small heroes.
In the end, thanks to Grandfather’s blessing, Nurgle is a very durable army, despite being very slow. Glottkin in the middle of the table is a very big threat and with his ability he can block enemy tactics or push forward even the slowest units. I only hoped that other battlelines would decrease in points as well, but Chaos Gods decided differently.

Krzysztof Jezierski: I made this list with the idea of wanting to utilize a newly buffed Fuethán that gave sharks (best freaking unit) exploding unmodified 6 which was recently changed to auto-wounding instead of additional hit, and my dear and beloved Smashking. My variation of Sharknado utilizes Smashking with armour of the Cythai that gives him a huge survivability boost against anything that has effects on 6 as it’s simply denied. The list plays mostly as a loaded barrel that is waiting for that one opening, either made by an enemy mistake in movement or due to screens dying from endless shooting, and being 2 drops allows me to dictate who goes first most of the time. Turn 1 Idoneth is quite tanky not only by being in army-wide cover thanks to the Tides but also with an additional +1 save from Turtle and the ability to deny shooting if the enemy is over 12 inches away. If he manages to get close enough, he is forced to shoot on the closest Idoneth unit, which is usually my screen that consists of 2×10 reavers who have +2 save and 5+ ward wholly 6″ of the ship. Turn 2 is where almost 80% of the games are decided if I was able to get close enough in turn 1 that my Smashking can unleash his wrath and kill over double or triple his points cost thanks to his command trait Unstoppable Fury that gives him additional 2attack for each enemy unit within 3inches of him (my record was 6 with gave me +15 attack on Polearm 2/2/-3/3). If after all of this, there are some units left in the enemy army turn 3 is usually a clean-up as Idoneth has strike first and the dmg output of sharks is very good, especially with the silent MVP of list Lotann that gives +1 to wound rolls wholly within 12 inches.
