Top Three AoS Lists for Halloween Hoedown

This is the top three AoS lists for Halloween Hoedown that took place in the UK on the 28th and 29th of October. It saw 14 players vying to be crowned champion in a 5-game tournament.

TOTAL POINTS: (1990/2000)

Roland Rivera: Most Khorne lists are fairly controlling and playing to the board, but this one goes a step further than most with the inclusion of Be’lakor. While he costs quite a few points, he also adds a lot of depth to Khorne’s control toolbox, and provides access to spellcasting, which is yet another layer of buffs you can stack on your units.

In this list’s case, the units receiving the buffs will mostly be the Bloodthirsters that are accompanying Be’lakor, with the Unfettered Rage Thirster providing utility and defense and Skarbrand providing raw offensive punch. Beyond that, this list has lots of cheap bodies used to pressure objectives and generate Blood Tithe, a couple of Priests to chant prayers and Invocations with, and a Skull Cannon to thin down screens or finish off wounded units with.

While this list doesn’t quite have the number of boots on the ground that a typical Khorne list does, it more than makes up for it with its expanded control toolbox and ability to concentrate force exactly where you want it. Not an easy list to play, but very potent if you can master it.

Allegiance: Maggotkin of Nurgle
– Subfaction: Blessed Sons
– Grand Strategy: Blessed Desecration
– Triumphs: Bloodthirsty


Leaders
Rotbringer Sorcerer (120)*
– General
– Command Trait: Grandfather’s Blessing (punts the wheel forward)
– Artefact: Muttergrub (also knows gift of disease, and gets a +1 when he casts it)
– Lore of Primal Frost: Merciless Blizzard
The Glottkin (580)*
– Lore of Malignance: Rancid Visitations (big meany horde clearer)
Bloab Rotspawned (310)
– Lore of Malignance: Blades of Putrefaction (Disease points on 5+)
Orghotts Daemonspew (320) (free cp to mortal unit each turn)
Morbidex Twiceborn (290) (heals half rounding up end of each battleshock phase)


Battleline
10 x Plaguebearers (120)*
10 x Plaguebearers (120)*
10 x Plaguebearers (120)*


Core Battalions
*Battle Regiment

Total: 1980 / 2000

Roland Rivera: This list is going heavy on the Hero Monsters – not only does it have the Glottkin, but it also has all 3 Unique Maggoth Lords, which make for very potent dance partners when you active your Blightkrieg ability. Orghotts has the best raw numbers, Bloab brings utility via spellcasting buffs and ebuffs, and Morbidex is a tough fighter that is virtually immune to chip damage.

As these units take up most of the list, you’re mostly limited to pairing them with Plaguebearers to meet minimum Battleline, but having cheap, durable bodies is a perfect complement to elite Hero Monsters. Throw in a mortal Rotbringer Sorcerer for a bit of magical support and the ability to manipulate the Wheel of Corruption, and it’s clear to see that this list is trying to set up combat scenarios with power units in which you have every advantage going for you.

Roland Rivera: The big winner of this tournament is a somewhat unusual Khorne list. You don’t often see Khorne players go heavy MSU (Multiple Small Units or Minimum-Sized Units, depending on who you ask) with their troops, nor opting for the Goretide and its bonus to wound for units trying to take over opposing objectives, but clearly it paid dividends here.

A big part of why I believe those decisions paid off is that this list is very committed to taking the fight to the enemy. Skarbrand is a one-man wrecking crew that can charge 3D6″, the Bloodthirster of Unfettered Fury moves fast and gives you a second shot of 3D6″ charging on any unit you want, and the list is committed to the heavy cavalry approach with 2 units of Mighty Skullcrushers and a Lord of Khorne on Juggernaut, all of which have a base 2+ save (!). Furthermore, it has a Slaughterpriest with Killer Instinct for even more movement potential. These elements can combine to pin opponents in their deployment zone early with very tough units, making it very difficult for them to capture enough objectives to win.

All that speed is complemented by the usual Khorne support pieces – Bloodreavers for cheap Blood Tithe, Blood Warriors to hold the middle, a Bloodsecrator for quality Rallies and an on-demand offensive buff, and the aforementioned Bloodthirster of Unfettered Fury’s -1 to hit aura. This list is coming at you hard and heavy, and most opponents will not be prepared to push it back fast enough to win.

There once was a frog from space
He cast so many spells – with grace!
Then he summoned some lizzies
They kept people busy
While the mortals kept coming at pace.

There once was a magical Toad
Surrounded by Cosmic Nodes
His gang, they were skinks
And his plan had no chinks
But some nerfs are probably owed…

Ramon Silva: Here in Sunny Southern California, In and Out, answers the question of; if you have one thing that is really good (Like a burger, bun and cheese) Why not have four of them?

This tasty 4-1 victory by Rueben Parker with golden boys is a straightforward 4x4x4 of charging, scioning, and comet calling mortal wounds.

How now? Hammertown? The first part of 4 is the Heros- 4 vexillors, banner bearers, that do, D3 mws to a 6in AOE bubble, 24 inches from them. One of them seasoned with the popular artifact/command trait, arcane tome/MoM- Common staple due to primal dice and battle tactics.

After are the annihilators. With a 3+ chance to do D3 mortals to anything within 10 inches of where they drop down from the sky..
And just like the chariots, when the annihilators charge, they do mw’s based off the charge roll.

If that isn’t enough MWs, Don’t worry, the liberators also have a chance on a four-up to do D3 against enemies on objectives at the end of the combat phase.

Looking at the lineup of opponent’s Rueben had to face, it seems like the trees were vegan, there was a double helping of bacon, and undead that just didn’t have enough stomach.

The only thing that could finish the meal was a mummified amphibian. Which kind of makes sense because they like to serve extra helpings of mw frog legs, that they can just summon from stardust.

Carl Stokes: Here we have a fresh take on the usual “shoot n’ scoot” approach to KO. This list takes Zon, meaning that the balloon boys are gonna be +1 to hit and wound on the charge. And boy is it easy for this list to charge. You’ve got the anti-mobility cast of characters, with an Admiral and Navigator kitted out to reduce opponent’s movement or increasing their own, depending on the roll. Then you throw in 2 frigates packed with the balloon boys that can fly high and end up exactly where they need to be. And finally, the Endrinmaster and Brokk are equipped with balloons of their own and can pretty easily keep pace with the boats (if not embarked themselves.

For shooting, this list packs slightly less firepower than the usual ironclad plus thunderer combo, but you’re still looking at an absolutely outrageous amount of firepower from a slightly close range and two heavy sky cannons for long range plinking before the lads get stuck in. Brokk has a sneaky amount of firepower on his own and can be a nasty surprise for opponents who are expecting a few shots at 3/3/-1/1.

In combat, this list is an excellent example of a glass hammer. It hits like a freight train and dies if things survive to hit it back. That being said, it’s very hard to pin down and extremely hard to cripple before they get to your lines. The embarked endrinriggers/endrinmaster can heal the boats that they’re in to make sure it’s in peak condition before crashing into enemy lines with drills a-whirrin.

Some interesting flex picks in an already slightly off-meta list include the stormcaller command trait to maximize movement control, which is especially important to this build. Otherwise, this list clearly surprised the opposition, with multiple wins against traditionally fast armies (nighthaunt and Big Waagh), although the one loss to SBG isn’t unexpected. That’s a very challenging matchup for a KO list that relies on surgical short range strikes and may not have the easiest time dealing with the sheer recursion/teleporting tricks of SBG.

Overall an excellent list piloted masterfully that really highlights the possibility of the KO book and hopefully spurs on some innovation amongst other players!

Top Three AoS Lists for Fantasia Fanatic XLIV AoS

Danny Wadeson: Soulblight continue to prove a menace post-September battlescroll – mind you, every army should be capable of winning, and when the general is Ronya, well – can you really complain? Legion of Night bring some fantastically sneaky shenanigans to bear, mainly thanks to the heroic action to teleport a vampire, along with a unit being able to counter-charge. Once you add Manny’s ability to charge in the movement phase instead of redeploying, it can be a massive headache for the opponent to move around without having their intentions stymied by an angry beatstick.

But what I love is the inclusion of Velmorn and his Grave… Sons of Velmorn, for that sweet anti-pile in tech, albeit at a high price point it seems to me. Combined with the ever-present threat of 20 traditional Graveguard (RE-RELEASE THEM BASED ON THE VELMORN SCULPTS YOU COWARDS), you have some serious movement/pile-in denial backed a brutal hammer, especially with the foot vampire around. Dire wolves and bats provide the ever-reliable fast chaff scoring, while Gravetide allows for some horde clearing and potentially a sneaky, big base bonus screen.

Ramon Silva: Beating out two Starborne lists along the way must have been a particular highlight – big up Ronya ‘Death Queen’ Andersson!

Royna, a. Well-known Warhammer five round winner, has done it again at {name of gt}, with an impressively low body count land grabbing legions of night list.

“Zombies?” she don’t need no stinking “zombies”
Within this four-drop list are many tools to control where the fight happens.

-A cunning counter charge that doesn’t age

-A heroic action teleport so Manfred can railroad a lane and then warscroll teleport out next turn.

-Velmorn with a 3+ save are some Tanky bones. They don’t fall down like other cardboard cutout death rattlers do.

-and the Gravetide endless spell has a huge base size perfect for zoning.

Besides that, The battleline is lean but very mobile.

20 Grave guard is one of the best hammers in the game and can be buffed with horror frost, reliably because the morbeg claw artifact gives the Vlord on foot +3 to cast.

The additional artifact on VloZD nullifies rend from shooting so it can sit back and double up the body count ww12 around them with their command trait.

But when needed they can cast blazing weapon and saddle up for some real damage.

CORE BATTALIONS
*Warlord (magnificent: additional prayer)
**Battle Regiment


TOTAL POINTS: 2000/2000

Roland Rivera: In a somewhat unusual twist for a Khorne Bloodlords list, this one features a mix between Bloodletters and Bloodcrushers (expected), Khorne mortal units (unexpected), and Allies (even more unexpected). However, the balance of their capabilities is likely effective enough that this list succeeded despite not maximizing the benefit of its chosen subfaction.

The conventional pillars of many Khorne lists are here: a big blob of Bloodletters to give and take damage with, a Bloodcrusher unit as a tough, recursive pinner, a Bloodthirster of Unfettered Fury as a versatile Hero Monster, a Bloodsecrator for an on-demand offensive bonus, chaff units like Flesh Hounds and Claws of Karanak to pressure objectives and generate Blood Tithe upon death, and a Herald of Khorne on Blood Throne to help with Bloodletter recursion. Where the differences start to emerge are the inclusion of Furies and the Unmade, which provide some utility tools that are somewhat uncommon in Khorne (fast flying chaff and an anti-Rally/Redeploy aura, respectively). A 10-man unit of Skullreapers is another notable deviation from the norm, but these provide a useful Rally target for the Bloodsecrator while requiring relatively little support to generate consistent damage output.

Because of its high unit count and Khorne’s mobility tricks, this list will be excellent at covering the battlefield and funneling opponents into fights of its choosing, and the Khorne buff lineup is potent enough to allow its hammers to do enough damage to key units. This profiles as a challenging list to pilot, but an even more challenging one to face.

Total: 2000 / 2000

Craig Ellis: Described by the player who ran this as a ‘Stand on Circles’ list, this is going to be very strong on the primary with the aim of creating blocks of frustrating, hard to kill units and winning the war of attrition. As a Stormkeep, this gives the ability of Redeemers (Liberators, Vindictors) to count as 3 on objectives (only in own territory until turn 3) meaning the level of scoring is going to be consistent throughout the game. Hallowed Knights allows the use of Gardus Steelsoul, who has a 5+ ward aura, adding to the general tankiness on offer here & giving all Redeemers Fight on Death on a 4+. The addition of spells such as Celestial Blades (+1 to Wound), Hoarfrost (buffing weapons) & Azyrite Halo (Save rolls of 6 deal a MW back) plus the Shield of Civilization (d3 MW’s when being charged into) Stormkeep ability means the enemy is going to take some damage when trying to drag these guys off objectives too. Tempestors and Questors provide the threat as well as the ability to score several battle tactics. Vanguard Hunters provides a guaranteed Surround & Destroy battle tactic as well as popping up to snag unguarded objectives. The Knight Relictor with translocation provides the ability to teleport units on a 3+ when required, with Luckstone giving an OPB re-roll if it is really needed. The Grand Strategy (Overshadow; destroy all enemy battleline with at least 1 friendly alive) leans into the aim of the list, keeping as much battleline as possible alive. The Holy Command Call for Aid will bring a unit of Redeemers back OPB adding to the staying power of the army. Looks like some decent match-ups with 4 wins until the final game where he lost to SBGL. It’s probably a tricky match up for this list as it is much stronger on the primary.

Ramon Silva: Shiny silver armor, crackling lightning and chants of “only the faithfu” must be one thing?
Zombies right?… Just kidding but in all seriousness, Stormcast Hallowed Knights are part of the first Legions of Light and Alexis piloted them to an impressive 4-1.

One of the initial books of 3.0, SCE benefits are.. rotting, but being poster boys they regularly get gud warscrolls. Which makes most lists feel like a bag of tricks with some juicy heros and troops.

Gardus in HK give a 5+ ward ww 12.
Knight “nope” incantor with an auto unbind
A priest for “lord, please, get me the f out of here” : translocate
And tempestors for solid ranged damage

This castle style list hands out +1 to wound and armor reflecting mw’s to tanky troops that can also fight on death. Taking Stormkeep means troops count as extra bodies on objectives but they all start on the board. They don’t stay there though as Questor soulsworn have a built in boogie, and the vanguard hunters have a board edge warscroll teleport.

Another point to note is that there is not much shooting at all so this list gets what it needs to get done in positioning and melee. It plays very well into the primary, or objective scoring, and has the additional troops to provide options for the secondary, battle tactics.

The path to 3rd was hard fought, as everything besides ironjaws is fairly newer. KO shooting can nullify the fight on death stormhost ability. Where-as the last three matches were against other melee army’s that just have more in book tricks. Which again makes the sparse shooting even more impressive.

Congrats!

Danny Wadeson: It’s Starborne, with the flex points spent on not one, but two Arks of Sotek, because they’re fantastic wound sponges capable of surprising spike damage. Everything else is the same as usual! Sorry, I’m not going to explain how the entire list works again – but if you really don’t know, it’s basically ‘get summoning points and summon stuff’. As I have no idea what units Abbe summoned, it’s hard to talk about strategy other than to say, I like the double Arks of Sotek because that would make for a helluva screen!

Six Nations Lists: Six Takeaways

The Six Nations AoS Teams Tournament is coming up soon, where England, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Sweden and Wales will compete against each other and the lists have just been released. To give you an overview of the kinds of matchups that will be coming up and what we can learn from the submissions of these national teams, we’ve come up with six takeaways from the lists.

For reference, here’s all the army lists in one handy download (courtesy of AoS 6 Nations, Underworld Gaming and Mediocre Hobbies)

Blood for the Blood God…Apart from in Scotland.

Of the Six Nations, all countries took a Khorne variant apart from Scotland, underlining how powerful Khorne are in the current meta with their ability to march across the board and stomp their authority on any game. Prayers are clearly going to be a key part of the Khorne strategy alongside the ubiquitous Murderlust for those out of phase movements. Only one Skarbrand out of the five lists, but lots of Wrathmongers and Flesh Hounds with one Bloodlords list with waves of Bloodletters. Other popular lists included Soulblight Legion of Night with Manfred appearing in three of the four lists; Seraphon Fangs of Sotek with double Ark of Sotek Bastiladon; three King Brodd’s Stomps, with three bigs and three littles and three Disciples of Tzeentch Guild of Summoners lists with 12 Enlightened on Discs.

Give me ALL of the Primal Dice!

While there are lots of battle regiments in the lists as expected, the next most common battalion is Andtorian Acolytes for those extra Primal Dice. In most cases, the lists in question could not fit into a single battle regiment, but rather than going for a second battle regiment, those extra Primals seemed to be worth going to a three drop list minimum. Alongside a high frequency of Merciless Blizzard, the potential for a single hero phase to turn around what should be an easy win to a loss (or vice-versa) is definitely there. Even just being aware of the threat will impact on the opponent’s strategy, which might be enough to get a positive result for your team.

Fight me, you coward!

We are clearly in a combat-heavy meta at the moment, with the vast majority of lists focusing on winning the battle by fighting in combat as opposed to relying on ranged shooting attacks. Both Daughters of Khaine lists have eschewed the Bow Snakes for the Fighty Snakes; there are no Lumineth Sentinels at the event; even Kharadron Overlords are much more focused on fighting out of a Frigate rather than Thunderers blasting away from range. There are a couple of exceptions, with all of the Idoneth lists having a healthy amount of shooting, with even the Namarti-heavy list having 40 Reavers and the Shark lists having a huge number of attacks that will also explode on 6s. It will be interesting who these will be matched up with because the lack of return shooting from their opponents could really swing the matchup in the fish-elves favour!

OB – Where?

One of the more underrepresented armies of the top echelon recently are Ossiarch Bonereapers, with only two nations choosing to collect the Bone Tithe and both of these being Null Myriad lists. The points increases on Immortis seem to have done the trick as there are only two units at the event, with Deathriders and Mortek picking up the slack. Perhaps this isn’t surprising as only a quarter of the armies at the event are heavy magic-users and the pairings process can potentially avoid a single anti-magic army. Other notable missing armies include Beasts of Chaos, Ogor Mawtribes and Kruleboyz – just kidding! As recently as a few months back, there would be less variation than we have represented, with nineteen of twenty-four battle tomes in attendance, showing how healthy the meta currently is.

An Age of Heroes.

Across the lists, there is definitely a flavour of what unique heroes can bring to an army, not only narratively, but competitively too. Named characters who will be fighting it out include Gobsprakk, Katakros, Skarbrand, Brokk Grungsson, Kairos Fateweaver, Manfred Von Carstein, The Glottkin, Severith, Morathi and everyone’s (least) favourite angry dwarf, Gotrek. One of my favourite aspects of AoS is how cool it looks on the tabletop to have these centre-piece models battle it out and there will be ample opportunities for epic showdowns across the event with this array of heroes.

Skewl List, bro!

Most of the lists submitted are relatively close to a take-all-comers singles list too, but there are a couple of more skew lists that look really interesting that will cause absolute headaches for whoever gets paired into them. The IDK shark lists come close to this, but they’ve become a bit more mainstream, with several players running this list successfully. What might become more of a meta-list after this event and with the arrival of Belthanos on the scene is Andreas Angermund’s 18 Spiterider and 6 Seeker list. Firstly, respect to Andreas if he is transporting that many models with fragile and awkward wings but then to also give your opponent the dilemma of having these 24 flies be able to pre-game move 12″ before the game even starts…yikes! Another interesting list that could very quickly get across the table and punch you in the mouth is Greg Shelton’s 30 Black Knight list. Black Knights appear in several of the Soulblight lists, but no-one has gone as hard in as Greg has. If all three Black Knight units make a charge, Greg will be rolling 60 dice and expecting at least 20 mortal wounds as his return – scary stuff indeed.

So that’s six takeaways from the Six Nations lists. Best of luck to all competitors at what I’m sure will be a great event. Are there any interesting combos that I’ve missed? Please comment below if I have and let us know which list(s) you think will do the most work!

This is the top three AoS lists for King Gizzard and the Blizzard Wizards that took place in the UK on the 23rd and 24th of September. It involved 12 players vying to be crowned champion in a 5-game tournament.
