The Top Three AoS Lists
Army Faction: Blades of Khorne – Subfaction: Reapers of Vengeance – Grand Strategy: Slaughter of Sorcery
LEADERS Bloodsecrator (120)* – Artefacts of Power: Banner of Blood Skarbrand (380)* Slaughterpriest (110)* – Bloodbathed Axe – Prayers: Bronzed Flesh, Killer Instinct – Nullstone Adornments: Pouch of Nulldust Bloodthirster of Unfettered Fury (330)** – General – Command Traits: Firebrand – Artefacts of Power: Halo of Blood – Prayers: Heal, Killer Instinct Slaughterpriest (110)** – Hackblade and Wrath-hammer – Prayers: Blood Sacrifice, Bronzed Flesh Skarr Bloodwrath (110)**

TERRAIN 1 x Skull Altar (0)
CORE BATTALIONS *Warlord **Warlord
TOTAL POINTS: 2000/2000
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.
Army Faction: Orruk Warclans – Army Type: Big Waaagh! – Grand Strategy: Waaagh! (Battleline or General in enemy territory at end of game) – Triumph: Indomitable (pass battleshock)
LEADERS Orruk Weirdnob Shaman (90)* – Spells: Da Great Big Green Hand of Gork (teleport) Wurrgog Prophet (170)* (Zap Daddy with the slot machine eye lasers) – Artefacts of Power: Glowin’ Tattooz (4+ ward) – Spells: Hoarfrost Megaboss on Maw-krusha (450)** – Boss Choppa and Rip-toof Fist – Artefacts of Power: Destroyer (+3 damage once per game) – Mount Traits: Fast ’Un (once per game hero phase move) Orruk Warchanter (120)*** – Warbeats: Fixin’ Beat (d3 heal) Orruk Warchanter (120)*** – Warbeats: Get ’Em Beat (3d6 charge) Gobsprakk (240)*** (once per game 3d6 unbind and deals d3 or d6 on every successful unbind) – General
BATTLELINE Orruk Brutes (280)** (+1 to hit models with 4+ wounds. Models with 1 wounds can’t contest within 3″) – Brute Boss – Boss Choppa – Jagged Gore-hacka Orruk Brutes (140)** – Brute Boss – Boss Choppa – Jagged Gore-hacka Gutrippaz (150)*** (-1 to hit from non Hero, non monsters) – Gutrippa Banner Bearer – Gutrippa Hornblower – Gutrippa Boss – Wicked Stikka
OTHER Brute Ragerz (200)** (run and charge) – 6 x Mighty Gore-hacka
ENDLESS SPELLS & INVOCATIONS 1 x Suffocating Gravetide (30)
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 – Grand Strategy: Empire of Corpses
LEADER 1 x Belladamma Volga (220) – Spells: Soulpike 1 x Ivya Volga (135) 1 x Necromancer (100)* – General – Command Traits: Eater of Magic – Artefacts: Seed of Rebirth – Spells: Merciless Blizzard 1 x Vampire Lord (150)* – Spells: Soulpike

OTHER 10 x Black Knights (130) – Hellknight – 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.

The Top Three AoS Lists
Allegiance: Khorne – Slaughterhost: The Bloodlords – Grand Strategy: Slaughter of Sorcery – Triumphs:
LEADERS Bloodthirster of Unfettered Fury (330)** – General – Artefact: A’rgath the King of Blades – Prayer: Bronzed Flesh – Prayer: Killer Instinct Herald of Khorne on Blood Throne (160)* – Prayer: Bloodbind – Prayer: Bronzed Flesh Bloodmaster, Herald of Khorne (110)** – Prayer: Killer Instinct – Prayer: Unholy Flames Slaughterpriest (110)* – Prayer: Blood Sacrifice – Prayer: Witchbane Curse Slaughterpriest (110)* – Prayer: Blood Sacrifice – Prayer: Unholy Flames Bloodsecrator (120)** – Nullstone Adornment: Pouch of Nulldust
UNITS 30 x Bloodletters (540)** – Gore Drenched Icon 20 x Bloodletters (360)** – Gore Drenched Icon 10 x Bloodreavers (80)** – Reaver Blades 10 x Bloodreavers (80)** – Reaver Blades
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!

UNITS 20 x Bloodletters (360)* – Gore Drenched Icon 20 x Bloodletters (360)* – Gore Drenched Icon 5 x Flesh Hounds (100)** 10 x Bloodreavers (80)* – Reaver Blades
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.

CORE BATTALIONS *Regiment of Renown **Warlord ***Battle Regiment
TOTAL POINTS: 1990/2000
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.

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.
Army Faction: Soulblight Gravelords – Army Type: Legion of Night – Grand Strategy: Lust for Domination – Triumphs: Bloodthirsty
LEADER 1 x Vampire Lord on Zombie Dragon (480) – Deathlance – Spells: Spirit Gale 1 x Vampire Lord (150)* – General – Command Traits: Unbending Will – Artefacts: Morbheg’s Claw – Spells: Merciless Blizzard 1 x Necromancer (100)* – Spells: Hoarfrost 1 x Mannfred Von Carstein (400)** – Spells: Waste Away
BATTLELINE 3 x Fell Bats (100)** 3 x Fell Bats (100)** 20 x Deadwalker Zombies (150)** 20 x Deadwalker Zombies (150)**
ENDLESS SPELL 1 x Aethervoid Pendulum (50)
OTHER 20 x Grave Guard (320)** – Seneschal – 2 x Standard Bearer – 2 x Hornblower – Great Wight Blade
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: Once again, Khorne provides us with a spicy list for us to examine. While the bones of the list are pretty standard for a Daemon-heavy Reapers of Vengeance strategy (Unfettered Fury Bloodthirster, Skarbrand, big blob of Bloodletters, Priests and Invocations, chaff units to generate Blood Tithe), this list has a neat little curveball courtesy of its Ally inclusion. Theddra Skull-Scryer and The Godsworn Hunt give you access to spellcasting, which is a valuable resource indeed.
That said, The Godsworn Hunt is not the only spicy inclusion in this list, as it also features Magore’s Fiends as a bulky chaff unit that can summon another screen in Riptooth. As a final spicy inclusion, Fabien decided to include the Slaughter of Sorcery Grand Strategy, which requires no Wizards to be on the battlefield. Clearly, Fabien intended to use Theddra quite aggressively in the average game.
The combination of having 2 Bloodthirsters and splurging some points into interesting warbands means this list isn’t quite as Wound-dense as your typical Khorne force, but the strong result indicates that the increased utility was worth the trade-off. Well done!

This is the top three AoS lists for the War In The Heartlands – Act 3 that took place in the UK on the 18th and 19th of November. It saw 100 players vying to be crowned champion in a 5-game tournament.
With a very large field of players in. a five round competition four players achieved five wins and no losses (5/0/0). I’ve included all of those lists instead of just the top 3.
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.

The Top Three AoS Lists
Army Faction: Maggotkin of Nurgle – Army Subfaction: Befouling Host – Grand Strategy: Corrupt Arcane Nexus – Triumphs: Bloodthirsty
LEADER 1 x Great Unclean One (430) – General – Command Traits: Nurgling Infestation – Doomsday Bell and Plague Flail – Artefacts: The Witherstave – Spells: Fleshy Abundance 1 x The Glottkin (580) – Spells: Rancid Visitations 1 x Orghotts Daemonspew (320) 1 x Morbidex Twiceborn (290)*
TERRAIN 1 x Feculent Gnarlmaw (0) 1 x Feculent Gnarlmaw (0)
CORE BATTALIONS: *Battle Regiment
TOTAL POINTS: (1980/2000)
Fresh (for Nurgle!) from being part of England’s victorious 6 Nations team, Max brought his beautifully painted and very pus-filled army to take out War in the Heartlands. And what a difference a few points changes make! The Garden of Nurgle has gone through a bit of a feculent regrowth recently with points drops to a couple of the big chaps and the little chaps, meaning that Max’s list is 80 points cheaper than it would have been before the recent battle scroll update allowing to squeeze even more into the list. In addition, with the double-Gnarlmaw and Befouling Host combo, Max is certainly summoning something in, from a Beast of Nurgle, more Plaguebearers or even a Great Unclean One.
Another great option for Max to bring in is Sloppity Bilepiper who is able to use his Jolly Gutpipes to play such classics as My Love Is Like a Ripe, Ripe Fart that prevents pile-in moves. With the four big Nurgle heroes doing most of the lifting in this list, preventing enemies from getting their maximum number of attacks by piling in while being at their own maximum efficiency is a real force-divider for the opponent.
Of the big boys, Orghotts is probably the most straightforward, but is still an absolute beatstick, with 5 damage 3 and 7 damage 2 attacks with a D6 damage shooting attack thrown in there too. He also comes with a free CP per turn if you want that D6 damage attack to be hitting and wounding on 2s.
Next up is Morbidex Twiceborn, who can bring back Nurgling bases, but what he mainly brings to the party is that at the end of the battleshock phase (so the opponent’s too) he heals half his wounds, rounding up. So get him down to 1 wound in your combat phase to see that go up to 7 wounds, then heal D3 in the opponent’s hero phase followed by a few more at the end of the next battleshock phase. If you can’t kill him in one go, don’t bother, but easier said than done on a 3+ save and 12 wounds on a 5+ ward.
The Great Unclean One is one of the Loci of Fecundity, which means that Nurgle models heal D3 within 14″ of one of these Loci instead of just the 1 wound, helping Morbidex to be the irritant that he is. It also has its own Monstrous Action to do 4 mortals on a 2+ when at top bracket and is no slouch in combat either, especially with all the Nurglings doing a tonne of attacks that can spread disease, which will then proc on a 3+ because of the Witherstave.
The second Locus of Fecundity is The Glottkin on a truly monstrous 27ish wounds, after factoring in the 5+ ward, is a two cast wizard and has one of the coolest named warscroll abilities in Sigmar called Blightkrieg when The Glottkin and another unit can make a charge at the end of the enemy movement phase. Anyone who has faced Khorne knows exactly how powerful this is and being able to give this lump of pustulant flesh any free movement while also stomping something at the other end is fantastic.
Plaguebearers are also in the list and, while they won’t kill much, they are absolutely non-trivial kills themselves as they have 2 wounds, a 5+ ward, can go up to 3 wounds a model with a spell and can return models on a battleshock roll of a 1, which can be enough to tip an objective in Max’s favour…something that I discovered in our Round 5 game, costing me 2 points as the extra Plaguebearer dropped me from Hold 1, Hold 2, Hold More to just Hold 1.
So what did I learn about how the list plays? It is a very tough list and when piloted by someone with Max’s skill expression, a couple of breaks need to go your way to have a shot. There are aspects of a DPS-check army (i.e. can you do enough damage to it before it kills you) that has some similarities with Gargants, but with the extra mechanic of 5+ wards, summoning, the healing and having some really cheap battlelines being able to grab objectives, it’s one of the top armies at the moment. But it was a really fun game and Max is a true gentleman and a worthy winner of the event.

After doing reasonably well with Kruleboyz and Tzeentch, but never cracking that 4-1 wall, I was really chuffed to finally be able to get there at Heartlands in such a great field of opponents. The new Orruk battle tactics have definitely helped Big Waaagh recently and the list is build with these in mind. Sneak Up is a great early or late battle tactics for putting all Kruleboyz units within 3″ of a terrain feature; Dat’s Our Turf Now! just needs two Ironjawz units within 6″ of the centre; the general is a Kruleboyz general, opening up Take Dat You Suckas! for doing 10 wounds and not taking 10 in return; Wait For It, Ladz just needs 30 Waaagh points. If you can do all of these very doable tactics and then get one more from the GHB, often Intimidate the Invaders or Magical Dominance, then you practically have to be tabled not to score 5 battle tactics.
With the general being the Swampcalla to access Take Dat You Suckas!, it made sense to also make him the focus of the Grand Strategy too as the other common option, Waaagh, needs him or a battleline unit to also not only be alive, but in your opponent’s territory too. On a turn-by-turn basis, he’s mostly there to buff the boltboyz, but by putting Merciless Blizzard on him too means that I have a 12″ exclusion zone around him and the Wurrgog has his own 12″ no-go zone too. Speaking of the Wurrgog, he did win me game two by staring off Alarielle the bottom of turn 5, but don’t sleep on his warscroll spell either. It is a ‘roll the number of dice in the unit spell’ but, if cast on a 10+ (and Primals can modify), it does mortals on 4s at 24″ away. That spell took out 18 Blissbarbs of 30 in one hero phase and gives him a bit of extra utility.
Speaking of Primals, I wanted to maximise my number of these so had the Andtorian Acolytes battalion and the Command Ability to get an extra one in my hero phase on a 5+. While sometimes these missed, there were several hero phases when I had 5 Primal Dice ready to go, either for my own casting or for Gobsprakk to do his thing and cause D6 mortals to wizards. Though he didn’t actually take out any wizards at this event, the threat was always there and, with the number of Primal Dice I often had, many opponents just skipped casting magic.
Other honourable mentions go to the Megaboss on Foot with the Destroyer artifact, who has the fight-on-death ability to make him a real thorn in any opponent’s side for the bargain price of 140pts. It allows you to attack elsewhere first, knowing that the Megaboss will definitely get to attack and, if the Megaboss somehow survives, then, unless your opponent shoots him off or kills him with magic (but see Gobsprakk above), he’s going to get to hit again. The other big winner from this list is the point when you hit 20 Waaagh points and have +1 to hit and +1 to wound. Having this on your whole army is spectacularly good, making the output really consistent AND allowing you to use CP for All Out Defense while not reducing the damage.
All my opponents were absolutely fantastic to play, with nailbiting moments in every game and Mark and Liam run a fantastic event with Cameos this year from the Cookie Monster, Admiral Adama and Hodor encouraging us to hold the objectives! If you get a chance, grab a ticket and I’ll hopefully see you next year!
