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.

*Andtorian Acolytes
**Battle Regiment
***Warlord


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.

– 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.

This is the perfect list for anyone who is interested in the more “smash and bash” idea of Khorne’s lore. 50 Bloodletters will have a scary amount of damage output, especially in Bloodlords where 1/3 of their swings end in mortal wounds, instead of 1/6, assuming they charged. Taking a double-reinforced block is also not something we see that often in Khorne lists, since the general flavor is to take a single reinforced unit of something (bloodletters, blood warriors, skullcrushers, or skullreapers, generally) and build around what supports that unit.

For support, Shaun has opted for a Blood throne, Bloodmaster, and Bloodsecrator. All three of these units will take the already impressive damage output of 30 bloodletters and turn them up to 11 by adding extra attacks, potentially boosting their wound rolls against an enemy unit, and keeping them alive to fight in the next round.

Shaun has also leaned in to Khorne’s anti-wizardry by bringing along 5 priests, all of which are sporting an extra prayer from the battalion, and across the five every prayer that Khorne has access to is present. This means that positioning that huge block of bloodletters is much easier through Bloodbind and Killer Instinct, boosting their damage output even further with Unholy Flames, and keeping them alive with Bronzed Flesh.

Overall this is an excellent display of how Khorne lists can be built by simply leaning into the things Khorne already want. Pray, spill blood, repeat. Congratulations to Shaun on first place!

And here we have the list that Shaun drew against in the fourth round. You can look between the two and see a lot of similarities, with a couple of notable exceptions.

Scott choose to bring the damage combo of Skarbrand + Boomthirster at the cost of a couple priests and the seond reinforcement on one of the units of bloodletters. Skarbrand’s damage output is appreciable, but it’s taken at the cost of support units for the reinforced bloodletters.

Past those difference my comments stay roughly the same. There is a good reason that these two list found themselves in a draw. Congratulations, Scott, on your second place victory and your 4-1-0.

Noel Fundora: I do love me some Big Waaagh. The army excels at trading pieces efficiently while scoring proficiently. Making the Swampcalla your general will give you access to the two very easy Kruleboyz battle tactics in Sneak Up and Take Dat, Ya Suckers! Pair that with the very free Big Waaagh tactic of Wait for it Ladz and you’ve already scored 3/5 BTs, meaning you only have to manage 2 from the GHB, which is simple enough with this loadout.

The extra spell enhancement gives your handy wizards great flex picks, made even stronger by the ever important Acolytes Battalion. Gutrippaz will be the cheap battleline option that exists on objectives quite well with their -1 to be hit (against no heroes and monsters). The wall of lads stands in front of the wizards, casting a multitude of damage and debuff spells. Between the Kruleboyz lore, the GHB lore, and the Wurrgog Warscroll Lazer Eyes, this is an immense castle to approach. The piggies and ragerz can scream out from the backline at a moment’s notice to clean up whatever is left standing. The Maw-Grunta is a great inclusion for a cheap monster to trounce around with. With high movement, some run and charge, the Weirdnob teleport, and Mighty Destroyers, those units will get wherever you need them to go.

Big Waaagh is the toolbox of all toolboxes that will give ya what you need for any scenario.

Roland Rivera: Hazel’s Ogors are back, and it’s like they never left. The name of the game is simple – play as many Stonehorns as you can afford to stuff into a list, and let their combination of durability, speed, damage, and capture power carry you to victory. The Tyrant is a fun complement to the big things, as it carries a source of AoE healing in the Splatter-Cleaver.

An interesting decision made by Hazel here is to not play any casters and instead opt for the Nullstone enhancement. I suspect this decision was spurred by the new Battle Tactic for the Nullstone enhancement bearer introduced in the latest Battlescroll. Otherwise, I think putting Arcane Tome on the Frostlord on Stonehorn would have been a very attractive option.

Hazel is perhaps one of the best Ogor players in the UK (if not the world), and she has showcased her skills once again with this list.

Roland Rivera: The Big Waaagh list that took 3rd at this tournament is an interesting one – while the likes of a Wurrgog Prophet, Warchanters, and a Weirdnob Shaman are pretty standard fare for this army, this list has a few interesting picks that merit further discussion.

The first is the Killaboss on Gnashtoof – the recipient of yet another price cut (this unit was 200 points when 3rd edition launched!), GW is practically begging Orruk players to field it; its stats are very efficient by virtue of how cheap it is. Part of his job in this army is to be a Kruleboyz General to open up the gimme Battle Tactic that is Take Dat, Ya Suckers!, and the other part is to babysit the unit of Gutrippaz that is screening for their heavier-hitting Ironjawz cousins. Next is the reinforced unit of Maw-Grunta Gougers – this is so rarely seen, I had forgotten the unit could be reinforced until I saw this list. Ardboys, fresh off a much-needed points cut, are beginning to see more consistent play. Last but not least, Big Waaagh players rarely play more than 6 Gore-Gruntas, but Sebastian decided that wasn’t enough Pig for him, so he packed 3 more.

While some of the choices made in listbuilding were definitely unorthodox, there’s no arguing with the results. This list did very well, demonstrating the depth of the Orruk Warclans unit lineup and the power of the Big Waaagh! allegiance abilities.

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.

TOTAL POINTS: 1960/2000

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: Here’s a very unusual style of list for Slaves to Darkness. Most players like clustering their points around 2-3 massive threats, then gear the rest of the army around connecting with them. Not Ludvig – he seems to have gone for a full Nurgle-themed MSU (Multiple Small Units) list, as all of his units feature that Mark and only 1 of them is reinforced. This list can cover a lot of grounds while pressuring objectives, which seems to have been the gameplan because many of hte traditional high-damage elements are missing. Seeing Warriors, Knights, and even Chariots marked Nurgle is no surprise, but the 3 Ogroids would probably be better off with another Mark (however, this would come at the expense of theme).

I am a huge fan of his chosen General for this list – I’ve been in favor of the inclusion of a Nurgle Daemon Prince with the Bolstered by Chaos command trait since the points cost dropped to 150, and the Battlescroll has only made him better by giving him 50% more damage. This guy is a tough (3+ save and 12 Wounds), cheap Hero Monster (thanks to the command trait) that can turn off Ward saves, Roar units you want to take down, pressure support Heroes 7 Rend 2, Damage 2 (3 if you resolve Flaming Weapon) with a 12″ fly speed, and just generally be useful. Ludvig has given him the strike-first ability via the Helm of Many Eyes, which helps simplify the list’s activation decisions (an important thing to have when going heavy MSU).

Another tool in the “simplify combat” arsenal is the Lord on Karkadrak, which can give himself strike-first, as well as the Knights (who are both the heaviest hitter and the toughest anvil in the list) if they are nearby. It also makes for a great Merciless Blizzard caddy. This list may be taking an unorthodox approach to the army, but it turned out to be quite successful.
