1 Comment

This is the top three AoS lists forthe Wheat City Open 2024that took place in Canada on the 2nd and 3rd of March. It saw 28 players vying to be crowned champion in a 5-game tournament.

Before I jump into the Top Three AoS Lists, I wanted to remind everyone of our friendly Discord server where you can join in the conversation with the Woehammer crew and suggest articles or series for the website.

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.

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.

Army Faction: Soulblight Gravelords
– Army Type: Vyrkos

10 x Black Knights (130)

– 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.

Celefaze: This is one of the most unique Slaanesh lists I’ve ever seen reach a podium placing, and makes expert use of our debuff capabilities and the offensive jank hidden in oft-forgotten Invaders subfaction. The party starts with two units of symbaresh twinsouls that apply -1 to melee attack characteristics to units within 3″, and 2 keepers of secrets with living whips that can each bring that down by a further -1 to a unit within 6″. To make sure all those newly upgraded 2″ reach hordes are kept humble the list then turns it up to 11 with the Lash of Slaanesh spell, capable of applying an uncapped melee attacks penalty (to a minimum of 1) to an unlucky unit within 12″. As if that weren’t excessive enough, the lord of hubris can step in to ensure a unit can only attack him in combat with however many attacks they happen to have left at that point. Offensively this force is deceptively deadly too, with a possible 2 instances of the Hurler of Obscenities command trait (applying +1 to hit and -1 to save for an enemy unit in 6″) thanks to the Escalating Havoc heroic action, and a turn of army-wide +1 to melee attacks from the Icon of Infinite Excess. Bolstered by the Slaaneshi power-couple of Syll’Esske’s conditional +1 to hit and wound, this can make for a brutal offensive push at a key moment. Some additional utility is found in allies and endless spells, with the unmade pinning enemies in place and furies for scoring shenanigans, while the Dreadful Visage provides a rare, almost nostalgic source of strike-last. Juancho deserves praise for not only brewing this strange beast of a list, but piloting it to an undefeated 3rd place.

Hanna Leppänen: This is a fun list! It’s a Hollowmourne list (+1 dmg for knights on charge), but the main attraction  here is the 6 Flayers and the Infernal Courtier.

The list plays rather standard 2 Archreagents and a Gravewarden as the Abhorrants, but does have a nice pick of Varghulf Courtier as the general, with Cruel Taskmaster for maximum muster potential for the killiest Courtier hero. Hoarfrost is the single best spell for FEC due to problems being often lack of rend and hit debuffs. Deranged transformation is of course the best spell in the FEC lore.

Otherwise the list plays around 40 Ghouls and Chalice for tarpitting, 2 x 3 Crypt Horrors for battleline and 2 x 3 Morbhegs for battle tactics and great mobility. Two units of MSU Morbhegs seem to be pretty stable part of FEC lists atm.

Crypt Flayers ww 9″ get +1 damage to their shooting attacks if a Crypt Infernal kills a model with a shooting attack. With a unit of 6 that’s 24 4+/3(2)+ rend 2 dmg 2 shots , which can also give you a battle tactic. They also get damage 2 when they charge due to Hollowmourne trait. Crypt Flayers are often overlooked due to pure stats comparison to horrors, but they are a good flex pick that can carry characters and have really good threat range.

Hollowmourne lists love to fight, and frankly, they need to for NDP generation. This list gives up a bit of the raw power of Horrors for more finesse of Flayers/Morbhegs and tarpitting of the Ghouls.

Kevin Lathers: This an interesting list in that it makes use of a lot of different Fyreslayer units all together. Functionally it may perform similar to some Vostarg Vulkite-heavy lists but allows for a couple different board control strategies.

To that end, this list will be effecting heavy board control. Vulkites and Hearthguard Berserkers have a lot of wounds on them to burn through, and Shield Vulkites are 40 wounds under a 6+/5+ (with battlesmith) ward that can be rallied on a 4+ and feed the flamekeepers when they die. There’s just a lot of stuff for enemies to have to deal with this.

Furthering this board control is the ability for the Hearthguard Berserker group to split off with the Runefather — with possibly the Doomseeker and Flameseekers (for an extra hero and anti-monstrous actions) — to create one small castle while the Vulkites, Battlesmith, and Flamekeepers create another small castle. This list can split push if need be. That’s very dangerous because opponents can often break one castle, but two? That’s another thing entirely.

On top of this, dealing with these castles, and their high model count, not only causes other stuff to get stronger (via flamekeeper), but leaves opponents open to heavy mortal wound output from the infernoth, flamespitter, and the poleaxe berserkers. It’s notable that flameseekers benefit as well from flamekeepers as Vulkites do, as well.

As a treat, the Auric Hearthguard add a nice little bit of shooting as well as movement reduction on select units which is always good and can even be backbreaking occasionally. Dropping a units move by 2″ can sometimes be a difference maker in an opponent’s plans.

Functionally this list becomes a buzzsaw that can push onto objectives, be hard to remove, and punish opponents for even trying to do it.

Roland Rivera: Legion of the First Prince is one of the less common Slaves to Darkness subfactions, but one of the most fun ways to leverage its ability to put the Mark of your choice on any Undivided unit is to have a big blob of Chosen. That lets them tap into Slaanesh when they need extra speed via the run & charge command, Nurgle when they’re in a protracted combat, or Khorne when you’ve set up a juicy charge for them. All the while, they have the potential for upgrades via Eye of the Gods rolls, as Legion lets you keep Undivided alongside your second Mark.

The Chosen are surrounded by a mix of the usual suspects and some spicier picks. Be’lakor, 2 Sorcerer Lords, a unit of Furies, and a brick of 20 Nurgle Warriors with the Eroding Icon don’t need much of an introduction, but you don’t often see Knights with the Undivided mark (likely a backup target for the Mark-swapping ability in case the Chosen go down or don’t need it). Eternus is also an interesting addition, likely here due to his synergy with Furies (bonus CP) and to a lesser extent with Be’lakor (makes his revive ability more likely).

Overall, this list managed to successfully walk the line between doing fun things and powerful things, and rewarded its pilot with a strong finish.

Brodd’s Stomp always starts with Broddley himself – it actually doesn’t have to, interestingly enough, but it kinda does.  Getting your 40 wound giga-chad with a 5++ ward is serious business and a big part of why we’re even doing this.

The other big thing is picking up terrain – ideally faction terrain – and bouncing it off your opponent’s head.  If that stuff ever gets old, it hasn’t yet.  So the next thing I’m putting in every Stomp list is a Gatebreaker, because that terrain-chuck thing is a shooting attack, so you’re getting extra juice out of any All Out Attack used in the shooting phase – this combos really nicely with that rend -3 damage 4 rock if you can ever hit the 2+ wound roll on one dice (you can’t.  I’m telling you now.  It’s a thing).  Plus Gatebreakers are just really good.

Laura’s GB is loaded up with the circle-healing CT and the 5+ mortal ward artefact for extra DPS funtimes, with Nullstone going on the 3rd Mega for the Unbinds.  History shows that the Icon has won out amongst the Nullstone artefacts, and fair enough too.  Bear in mind that you can put Bless on this fella with Brodd’s prayers, and you can have some kind of ward on all three Megas, which is pretty sweet.

I ran through the merits of Mancrushers vs a 4th Mega at some length when Brodd’s Stomp first came out, and noting that this was old points (so you can fit a little more in the army now), the list I cooked up came out very similar to what Laura is running here:

Competitive Listbuilding in Brodd’s Stomp

So I won’t repeat the whole thing again, but the key points are that the babies give Brodd a cheap bodyguard to switch on his ward, and they give you higher quality of life for battle tactics (e.g. dumping a couple of cheap-ish models on board edges for Surround and Destroy).

Speaking of which, quality of life for this army on secondaries is high….very high.  Your AOR tactics include such difficult challenges as “getting onto objectives”, and now the Nullstone gives you another freebie, albeit there’s only so many objectives you can actually take back when you tend to dominate Primaries.  I rate Laura’s choice of Slaughter of Sorcery – with no wizards of her own she’s halfway there, the shooting can add up (it’s not that hard to get within 12″ for this army) and if you face popular armies like Khorne or KO, it’s a straight-up gimme.  

One thing that counts against you is the release and popularity of FEC.  Morbheg Knights and Crypto Bros are just a couple more hyper-aggressive combat units stepping into a meta already stuffed with things like Squigs and the laughably broken Plague Censer Bearers.  There are units out there that will smoke Brodd without blinking, so forget about hitting Prios – the biggest element of luck I’d want on my side to steer this army to a podium is a favourable draw.  Let the KO do you a favour and light up the glass hammer trading armies, and there’s not much that can stand in your path.  Damn this makes me want to play the army.

Noel Fundora: This list has the great bones of any good FeC list. 20 Royal Beastflayers with the chalice will ensure that you have an anvil that can sit on a point and not give in. Paired with the passive recursion of the Archregents, those Beastflayers and their multi-wound models are not going anywhere. It also features a brick of 40 ghouls that can also take great advatage of the chalice, while packing a nice punch of a multitude of attacks.

The premier hammer of the list being a 9-block of Horrors will shift most targets, especially with the list being in Hollowmourne for that extra damage on the charge. The number one difficulty for this list will be high save targets, which I am sure were featured in the KO and STD lists that it was defeated by at this event. This can be somewhat mitigated by that ever important Hoarfrost and a cheeky teleporting blizzard from the Gorewarden.
The inclusion of 2×3 Morbhegs will help with easy turn 1 Surround and Destroy as well as offer some dangerously quick hero hunters. The Cruel Taskmaster General will ensure that if that block of Horrors is not eliminated in one foul swoop, it is going to stand back up as dangerous as before. The inclusion of the Acolyte Battalion is key because every spell this list has access to (warscroll and lore) plays a key role in achieving its goals.
