Top Three AoS Lists for The Icebreaker GT 2023

May 4, 2023 Top 3 Lists Leave a comment

Kieren Coates:This is the skaven list you get to point to when someone tries to tell you that clan eshin isn’t viable, the deathmaster is the worst warscroll in the book and mono-clan skavens is no longer viable

You now finally get to show them that you can indeed go 5-0 with your favourite ninja rats, but you might just need to be positioning like a madman to do so

With triple clan eshin the army gets board wide +1 to hit and wound in melle against heroes, and everything but your deceiver and 4 assasins can start off the board – sadly assasins can’t hide in gutter runners for whatever reason, GW fix this now!

Gutter runners have surprising mortal output at 3 shots per model with 6’s doing mortals, leading to a higher output per point than sentinels – and with 40 of them you’re looking at 120 shots with an average of 20 mortals per turn – before accounting for the extra 9 average mortals from assasins or slynk shooting in addition

Combine that with deepstrike and MSU positioning to clog the board and you’ve got a mean alpha to block the opponent in while slynk and the deceiver can surgically remove key pieces with a 6 inch deepstrike or teleport respectively

It takes a madman to pilot most skaven lists, and it takes one especially insane to run full eshin – well done on the 5-0 and for showing the naysayers everywhere just how viable off meta skaven builds can be.

I’m going to start by saying I’m happy I wasn’t facing this from across the table. The core is the Troggoths, of course, regenerating as soon as they’ve fought (Glogg’s Megamob). You need to carefully manage your activations, but each turn 2 units will regenerate each turn before you can hit them. After the Troggoths, your eye is drawn to the Shootas – 120 attacks, only half will hit, but even with low quality attacks, you are probably rolling against 20 wounds. Into a 3+ save that’s still an average of 7 wounds. They threaten any GC, and you can’t hide your GCs ( Galletian Sharpshooters).

The smart play is to remove them of course, from Turn 3, they are a serious threat to damaged units. With a 4+ l that’s a tall ask, 50% of everything you kill is going to return (on average) up to a maximum of 10. That means without very serious effort, they will be a problem for 2 or 3 turns at a minimum. Their probably hiding some Loonsmashas as well making charging and combat no sure thing. The Stabbas can control an objective from 9″ away unless you weaken them. And both Skragrott and the Fungoid have teleport to drop them somewhere annoying.

An annoying, sticky list with the ability to be everywhere you aren’t as well as out stay and out score you. No surprise it’s gone 5/0/0, it’s a little more of a surprise that the Skaven outscored him but both lists are just good at the game. They play the missions really well without needing to destroy the opponent.

We’re lucky in that we have developed a number of relationships with top players around the globe. Some names that comment on here fairly regularly, such as Kieren Coates, Joshua Bennett, Kel Pigg, and Kevin Lathers, to name but a few. Jeremy Veysseire can now be added to this select crowd, and for those who are unaware, Jeremy has his own YouTube channel where he breaks down tactics in Age of Sigmar. Go subscribe!

Jeremy Veysseire: Hello everyone, thanks for Woehammer for letting me break down this KO army for you all. Let’s jump right into it. This Barak-Nar packs a mixture of punch and shooting, some core highlights:

• 4 Rolls of a 4+ for extra CP during their turn. (KO can be CP hungry)
• +1 to Wound (Melee and Shooting) against 1 enemy unit for the entire game
• 2D6 Run on 1 Unit a turn.
• Once per game 3D6 Charge.
• +1 Attack to all Barak-Nar units in combat within 12” of Brokk if he charges. (Massive buff to the Endrinriggers)
• Runelord is granting you an additional unbind at +2 and Blessing a unit for 6+ ward.
• Rerolling Navigator Reading the Winds (Stormcaller, Huge Value!)
• Once per game, Autounbind (Voidstone)
• Oncer per game on a 2+ remove Wards from an enemy unit during that shooting phase (Celestium Burst-Grenades)
• 70-point deficit for a near guarantee of +1 to Wound Triumph and prevent Indomitable Gitz builds.

Now, with those core concepts explained, let’s go over some overall packages. You have 1 Melee Frigate and 1 Shootey Frigate; the melee frigate is built around the 14” movement frigate (Magnificent Omniscope) with the Endrinriggers (no special weapons for more melee), Brokk, the Endrinmaster and the Admiral since the Boat is the Flagship thus the Admiral can give that boat a free CA per turn. The Shooty Frigate is built around the 10 Sharpshooting Thunderers and the Navigator as a great support platform to the melee one as it can effectively assist in clearing screens or pressuring heroes that provide some form of force multiplier. With the Celestium Burst-Grenade in the pack pocket, you can really have an effective take down turn of a specific target, especially with the +1 to Wound Artycle. One of the biggest highlights in this list is that while there are only 2 frigates, Brokk’s shooting profile is basically another frigate worth, so that melee frigate is very multiphase functional. There is a lot of magic defence between the Runelord, the Navigator, and the Voidstone, helping that KO power shut down key powers. The Runelord provides another low risk GC for some of the GHB battle tactics and provides a potential 6+ ward on a frigate early in the game. The Arkanaut make great screens and deckchair backfield units while able to move forward as the Frigate clear pressure upfront.

Thomas had an interesting path to 3rd place with a loss starting against Corey Anderson’s STD Host of the Everchosen with Be’Lakor, Eternus and Chosens. My guess is that perhaps Be’Lakor’s once per game shutdown mechanic was able to shut down the Thunderers long enough while the Cockatrice were able to debuff the Endrinriggers hitting on 6’s. He even perhaps suffered a double turn from his opponent since he had the choice of turn order. His second round opponent was a classic Hallowed knights list with a mixture of Dragons and some shooting piloted by Colin Jarrell, it honestly looked like an ideal list for Thomas to face as the majority of the SCE army has a hard time to set tempo against his superior shooting and melee. His third round opponent was a Kruelboyz list with Kragnos piloted by Isaac Kangas, and I can only imagine that this game was like shooting fish in a barrel (no offiense to Isaac). His round 4 opponent was a Hedonites army packed with Heroes, Slickblade Seekers and some Blissbard Archer piloted by Hugh Cunningham, I am curious to know how the game went personally but looking at the unit selection and not knowing the mission, either Hugh ran out of pressure early in the game or couldn’t catch the boats as they were raining death from above since it would appear very hard for that specific hedonite build to generate depravity in that match up to counter some of the teeth of that KO list. His final round opponent was an Ogor Boulderhead build piloted by Logan Wendt with 4 Stonehorns (1 Frostlord, 1 Huskard, 2 Normal) and 3 packs of Mournfang. I can only imagine that the removal of the Stornehorn and halving movement speed to various units made it easy for Thomas to control the tempo of the game early on. It would take a serious gungho approach by Logan to oversaturate his shooting targets and bank for a double to catch the boats.Ov

erall Thomas had a 4-1 record with a very good all comers KO list that plays multiple phases of the game. Congrats to him, and I wish the best of luck for the next event!

Loyal readers of this column may be starting to notice certain trends with successful Slaves lists. At this point to be frank, we should probably rename them ‘Slaves to Varanguard’. But what’s a competitive player to do when faced with a super efficient cavalry unit that can fight twice and be battleline in a sub-faction that allows them to run and charge?

I mean, literally the only unusual pick here is the Geminids, a cute little ploy to turn off commands to stop those pesky redeploys and whatnot while the Varanguard bear down on them.

Solutions to list variety? I don’t think Varanguard need or deserve a nerf – they’re already expensive and fairly vulnerable to any decent amount of attacks with any kind of rend – soon as they lose a few models, and their own low volume of attacks starts to tell. I think the rest of the book just needs a better reason to be taken to be honest, but with the warscrolls and lack of synergies the way they are, I’m not sure pure points adjustments will do the job…

Either way, well done to Daniel here for wins over some super strong factions!

CORE BATTALIONS: *Battle Regiment

TOTAL POINTS: (2000/2000)

So the last hurrah of Tzeentch before the Battlescroll update (which would actually knock this list up to 2030 points) and a refreshing list without a Krondspine!

While not being as summoning heavy as some Tzeentch lists have been recently, this list can still reliably have 10-15 fate points turn 1, just enough to throw some annoying Blue Horrors in the way and keeping them away from the juicier Pinks and/or wizards behind. The Untamed Beasts are handy to get that screen up early doors with their pre-game move. Kairos is lurking behind those screens, ready to throw out a fairly easy 10 – 15 mortal wounds.

The Enlightened are also lurking, with a potentially guaranteed 28″ move/charge with two Destiny Dice 6s. As a one-drop, Matt could more than likely give the turn away at the start of the game, guaranteeing that the Enlightened get the +1 to wound bonus for taking the bottom of the turn.

Add in some flexible Endless Spell support: Sigil to turn would-be chargers into spawn, keeping the enemy at arms’ length; Simulacrum to ruin any wizard’s day; Jaws to eat up Galletian Champions with their low movement, and you’ve got a great all-comers list that can take on and beat anything (even Gitz twice!)! Congratulations, Matt – can’t wait to see what you have cooking up for Tzeentch post Battlescroll.

Alice: A real bruiser list and a nice departure from the usual squig spam in Gitz as of late. The Troggs are naturally the focus of this this list, and everything is build around supporting them. The General, a Dankhold Trogboss sits at the core of the Troggoth hordes granting +1 to Attack when using All Out Attack on one of the (many) Troggoth units. Their Loonskin command trait is a free faction endless spell which is definitel a nice perk. The Trogboss is decent in combat as well, with their artefact giving them a 4+ Ward.

Supporting them is Skragrott who is just in general one of the best Wizards in the game, and the Madcap Shaman to fill a cheap Galetian Champion and a good debuff piece with Itchy Nuisance to put Strike-Last on the opponent.

Rounding things off is the Sneaky Snufflers to grant a trogg unit a 5+ ward or +1 attack, and the Gobbapalooza to teleport the very slow Troggs where they need to go, in addition to a repertoire of buffs and debuffs to hand out.

Alice: The Kharadron Overlords book is still working itself through its paces, which is an exciting time to see people try different things. Navigators are a solid auto include with their ability to half movement. The Admiral is essentially a free CP each turn with its free command to one of the Frigates, and between him and Brokk the list is rewarded whether it causes the ships to run and shoot or stay in place and shoot better. The Endrinmaster is a cheap support GC that can keep the ships maintained and kicking.

The rest of the list functions as you might expect. The Arkanauts are cheap workhorse infantry that are great at holding points, while Endrinriggers and Thunderers can shoot extremely well. The Arkanauts and Thunderers in the Sharpshooters can snipe out any pesky Galetian Champions to deny battle tactics while the Endrinriggers in Galetian Command can work as a team with the Endrinmaster.

The two ships function as both shooting and support, carting all these units around. While a lack of Ironclad is noticeable, the Frigate can bring solid firepower to bear and allow more room for more infantry to hold objectives.

Brett: With the death of Bounty Hunters the Brutes have returned in a lot of lists. Pretty straight forward with 20 Brutes, MSU ardboyz for screening and objective holds, 2 megabosses and Kragnos. That’s right it’s Ironsunz with Kraggy – ready for 3d6 charges at the end of your charge phase? Potentially 2 units with the Megabosses issuing commands. Hulking Brute and Gryph-feather charm is a great combo, encourages you to charge (mostly in support of Kragnos) but you should survive the clap back. Destroyer and Tunnel Master is fun to.

The rarely seen Killa beat on a warchanter and the even rarer double IronJawz Fist battalion (free all out attack/defence). This army is all about the smash. Unfortunately Tzeetch cares not for the smash and Ogres smash hard. Any shootin’ or magic and this army is going to struggle (not that Meatfist has much shooting). 3 from 5 is a solid showing with Ironjawz and an example of what a move away from the Pigs brings. In the end though 4+ saves, Bravery 6 and a 1 damage weapon are starting to a look a little dated for an elite army.

This is the top three AoS lists for the Spring Rumpus GT that took place in the USA on the 25th and 26th of April. It involved 17 players vying to be crowned champion in a 5-game tournament.

Gloomspite Gitz – Faction Review (Jul-Nov ’22)

December 24, 2022 Peter Holland Leave a comment

With the release of the Battlescroll: Galletian Reinforcements I’ve been able to go back through the data from the release of the General’s Handbook and tidy everything up. In doing so, I though it may be cool to give you a run-down of how each faction performed under the current General’s Handbook until the Battlescroll took effect.

The data used for analysing these results was taken from 110 Grand Tournaments between 3rd July 2022 and 6th November 2022.

Gloomspite Gitz

Region Comparison – Popularity

Everyone’s favourite faction saw their highest popularity in North America with 3.5% of players choosing the faction for tournament play, while in Oceania, the uptake was only 0.8%.

Region Comparison – Win Rates

The one player that played them in Oceania managed to wrangle three wins from them, giving them a win rate of 60%. In Scandinavia this dropped as low as 24.4%.

No 5-0 results for the Gitz, the best they could manage were some 4-1’s in N. America and the UK & Ireland.

Subfaction Analysis

Subfaction	Players	Win Rate
Glogg’s Megamob	15	41.33%
Jaws of Mork	10	37.00%
Grimscuttle	1	40.00%
None/Unknown	86	36.74%
Faction Total	112	37.41%

Most players chose to play without a subfaction. But out of those who chose one, Glogg’s Megamob was the most populat and successful at 41.3%.

Top 10 Gloomspite Gitz Players

You may notice that some players have a better World/Nation ranking than players above them in this table. This is due to players playing with multiple factions. These players have been ranked on their top 4 Gloomspite Gitz results only.

Drowned Men continue to lead the way with a win rate of 69.1% despite Maggotkin overall only having a win rate of 53.8%. Nighthaunt and Scarlet Doom find themselves near the top now as predicted by Danny some weeks ago. Meanwhile at the bottom of the table Ossiarch Bonereapers/Petrifex Elite are the only subfaction below 30% win rate.

Interestingly Fyreslayers have Lofnir (6 PLayers) with a win rate of 51.7% and the more popular Greyfyrd (9 Players) at 35.2%, are people playing the wrong subfaction?

Next Week

I’ll have graphs. Because nothing says stats like some graphs…..

Grand Alliance Stats

As promised last week, I’ve changed the stats to reflect the last four weeks of GT’s that we’re aware of at Woehammer. Also if you read all the way to the end of the article I have a little surprise for you!

485 players took part in 16 GT’s over the last four weeks.

Grand Alliance	Win Rate	Armies	% Share of Armies	5-0 Wins	4+ Wins
Chaos	56.7%	94	19.38%	6	27
Order	50.7%	218	44.95%	8	34
Death	45.8%	82	16.91%	2	11
Destruction	45.0%	91	18.76%	0	8

Chaos continue to lead the way in the win rates. While Order pick up the most number of armies represented, most 5-0’s and most 4+. When you compare army share to the number of battletomes each Grand Alliance possess you can see that Order are overrepresented, while Chaos are vastly under represented:

Grand Alliance	Battletomes	Battletome %	Actual Rep %
Order	9	37.50%	44.95%
Chaos	7	29.17%	19.38%
Death	4	16.67%	16.91%
Destruction	4	16.67%	18.76%

What can we take away from this? Perhaps that Order factions are more appealing than Chaos? New players gravitate towards Order? The Chaos range needs updated miniatures? Or all of the above?

Factions in Bold are those with 3rd Edition Battletomes published before or during this time period

I’ve highlighted all those faction win rates in red which are outside of the parameters that players have stated would make the game roughly balanced (45-55%).

I’m looking at the bottom of the table as I’m writing this, and its hard not to overlook Fyreslayers, Gloomspite Gitz and Ossiarch Bonereapers with win rates of less than 40%! Gloomspite Gitz are getting their new book this year, so hopefully we’ll see that improve. Fyreslayers have been mugged by Games Workshop rules writers, and it just shows how awful that book is. I feel for long term Fyreslayers players…

At the top of the table Beasts of Chaos now currently lead the way with a win rate of 67.1%! They’ve gone from trash tier to S tier in the space of 3 months. Slaves to Darkness are a bit of an anomaly at the top there, and this is primarily driven by a few high level players who vastly our performed the faction this month, much like Anthony Trentanelli did a few weeks ago with Skaven. Maggotkin of Nurgle and Seraphon win rates have both dropped, but its too early to tell why, as the new rules for Seraphon only really came into effect last week.

Factions in Bold are those with 3rd Edition Battletomes published before or during this time period

Maggotkin of Nurgle are a bit of a strange faction. While you have one of the meta leading Subfactions inside the tome with Drowned Men (68.0%, at the bottom of the pack you have Befouling Host (40.0%). It’s not an irregularity either as 7 players have played that subfaction and one claimed 5 wins at an event and another 5 losses. This suggests to me that while Drowned Men is a simple list to play, Befouling Host is completely the opposite and requires good memory and skill from the pilot.

After almost a year of publication now, both Stormcast and Orruk Warclan battletomes are beginning to show a little lag behind the other updated factions (apart from Fyreslayers of course). As the first of the Battletomes perhaps this has played into their stats slightly as the rules writers learn from their mistakes (apart from Fyreslayers of course) when writing the newer tomes.

Scarlet Doom shows that its the faction of choice for a reason in the new Nighthaunt battletome (60.0%) however, its still early days for this battletome and the other factions could be more complicated to pick up and play. However 60.0% win rate for any subfaction is too high and so they may need a future nerf at some point.

Going forwards as the weeks go on, I’ll be keeping an eye out for Grinin’ Blades beginning to get some more play with their updated allegiance abilities after not being placed at all due to all the Kruleboyz players choosing Big Yellers – this will change. I expect to see them nearing the 50% mark and above. Likewise with Skaven, I expect them to begin climbing the rankings as their new rules come into effect.

THE SUPRISE

I said I had a surprise, and here it is!

Woehammer will be doing a player ranking system for the new General’s Handbook based on the Elo system used by Chess.

Who gets ranked?

Everyone who takes part in a two day event using the General’s Handbook: Pitched Battles Season 1 2022-23. Each week I’ll update the scores of the players as they happen and post them in a separate rankings post which will be published every Saturday.

All players will begin with a rating of 1,000 at the beginning of the season, player ratings will be carried over into season 2 and beyond in the future.

I’ve included the current rankings below (there’s only been two GT’s using the new Handbook) which includes everyone at present. However, I will limit this to the top 20 as more players are ranked. The full downloadable player rankings will be available on the site to download next weekend.

TOTAL POINTS: (1995/2000)

Brett: Immediately showing the impact of the new tome we have Skaven not only back on the top table but taking the tourney. Wins over both DoK and Thunderlizard suggest a shift in the meta is possible as well. Not really a horde list, the clanrats are screening some heavy hitting units while still offering a lot of wounds for anything to work through. The Stormfiends offer both shooting and some heavy melee, particularly good through the mid to late game (once you’ve stomped the rats). The real innovation is the combination of Thanquol with Lauchon the Soulseeker. This increases his threat range to 18″, allowing him to really threaten key units with a 14 wound monster since Lauchon has changed to allow the Wizard to move in the following movement phase. Yes, he can cast the spell, move it, take a mortal wound, then move into range to both shoot and charge. Nice knowing you. The Warp-grinder and Gnawhole offer a lot of mobility to an otherwise slow list. Not an easy list to play well but a very hard list to counter.

Total: 1950 / 2000
Reinforced Units: 3 / 4
Allies: 0 / 400
Wounds: 102
Drops: 9

Brett: Another resurgent faction in Nighthaunt demonstrating some more of the depth of the new battletome. Scarlet Doom is getting a lot of play now and with a list like this it’s potentially adding 5 to 6 mortals every time the Bladegheist charge. That’s on top of the extra attack and, as bounty hunters, +1 damage for their weapons when attacking Galletian Veteran units. That is 60, 2 damage attacks on the charge. The heroes are a typical combination with 2 returning models every turn and Krulghast for his warscroll ability to reduce incoming damage from terrified units as well as shademist. Kurdoss is a bit more unusual but he is a strong melee hero if a bit fragile but the Spirit Hosts are there to lay off some of the incoming damage as well. The triumph is a bit unusual, battleshock isn’t really an issue with Nighthaunt.

Top Three AoS Lists - 3rd place, Legion of the First Prince

Allegiance: Idoneth Deepkin

Core Battalions
*Battle Regiment

Total: 1990 / 2000
Reinforced Units: 3 / 4
Allies: 400 / 400
Wounds: 90
Drops: 1

Brett: This list is a very clever use of the new book, and really is more like a Daughters of Kaine list without Morathi. A stupendous amount of short range shooting (each of the Reaver units is delivering 41 shots) with thin screens and the Incarnate for your opponent to focus on. Each Soulrender is returning between 4 and 6 models each turn. That is through the course of the game they can return 680 to 1020 points combined. The Purple Sun is good again and a great way to force movement from your opponent as well as prevent them focusing too much since it threatens anything it can pass over. Combining this amount of shooting with the Tides would make this a very difficult army to tackle and from round 2 onwards an extremely damaging one.

Brett: Good to see the big Troggoths here with his little friends. Did you ever want to be the Stone Troll from Harry Potter or the Black Trolls from Lord of the Rings? This is your list. Slow moving the Troggoths strengths lay in making you come to them and being able to heal damage. They can play take and hold missions very well and hit back hard. They do struggle where there is a lot of shooting and would also suffer if terrified and changed by the Nighthaunt being a low model count army. Good to see them here with some very interesting synergies from Krulboyz Troggoth units. An awesome interesting list for a tournament that would offer something different for many players.

Next week, I’ll have built up four weeks worth of data and at this point I will transition the stats over four weeks rather than a single week. This will helpfully give us more reliable data. At some point I’ll go backwards as well to the start of AoS 3.
