Big Waaagh again here, but with some nice little tweaks to the usual Pig and Brute heavy core!

Firstly, and this makes my heart sing, we have a Gnashtoof, with Mork’s Eye Pebble for some early shooting resistance (a 5+++ ward bubble against ranged attacks) which definitely helps to mitigate one of the obvious counters to the techy but relatively fragile army. There’s also the named Sludgeraker, who has the usual Kboyz synergy with the triple Gutrippa blob, which functions as a giant objective holder or mid-board roadblock that can also throw out a tonne of MWs.

Running around behind the phalanx of skare-shields are a cheeky reinforced Ragerz unit – who’re quickly becoming popular as a small-footprint missile, and for good reason.

A really interesting spin on BWaagh that managed to deal with the tankiness of Koatl’s Claw (those Gutrippaz MWs would come in handy there), the meta-darlings Khorne and a heavy hitting varanaguard list – impressive!

TOTAL POINTS: 1960/2000

Roland Rivera: Be’lakor has become a popular inclusion in Empty Throne lists of late in order to give that style of list a bit more spellcasting muscle as well as tactical depth, and this list is the latest example of how that approach can be successful. It enables this list to go light on chaff (not a Cultist unit as far as the eye can see), and instead focus on running a daunting lineup of cavalry hammers that can run through virtually any opponent.

While the list’s clear all-star is the 6 Khorne Fellspear Varanguard, the 10-man Nurgle Knights make for an anvil with a ton of punch, and the unreinforced Knights and Varanguard units make for useful complementary hammers that can swing key combats. Last but not least, the Chaos Sorcerer is also here to provide potent buffs to make it all run smoothly. As with other lists in this style, we see a deep triumph bid to have a strong chance at an on-demand charge reroll in Bloodthirsty.

The potency in this list lies in its reliability: it has picked a specialty and honed it to a razor’s edge, and is thus very good at executing its gameplan to devastating effect.

Lodivicus: Whew! It feels like it’s been a while since we’ve seen much other than variations of the Jaws of Mork core lists placing. Here we have a Da King’s Gitz ‘soup’ list, which really is a bit of a welcome change for me to write about. I can’t completely escape the parallels to those lists, though, as it does contain most of the core we’ve seen in those builds at the moment. Skragrott, a Madcap Shaman with Moonface Mommet and Hoarfrost, Gobbapalooza, Sneaky Snufflers, Boingrot Bounderz and the Bad Moon Loonshrine. But I’ll take what I can get!

Let’s start with the subfaction choice, Da King’s Gitz. This simply allows us to reroll the dice roll when using the Bad Moon Loonshrine’s Moonclan Lairs ability. However, when combined with the Loonboss’ Clammy Hand command trait, it means you can make two Moonclan Lair rolls, both with rerolls. That’s potential for some pretty reliable recursion coming out of the shrine!

The Loonboss adds ‘mortals on 6s to wound in addition’ whenever he issues the All-out Attack command to a friendly Moonclan unit. I suspect he is primarily here to follow around the Stabbas and to contribute to their output (especially in conjunction with Hoarfrost) but could also buff any of the other Moonclan units in the list.

The forty Stabbas act as objective controllers (contesting an objective within 9” while they have twenty or more models) and still can have respectable output when fully buffed up (with Hoarfrost, All-out Attack from the Loonboss, Moonface Mommet on the target, and an extra attack from Sporesplatta Fanatics). With a lucky Looncap Mushrooms roll (from the Sneaky Snufflers), you could get them yet another attack each in addition to a 5+ ward.

Sporesplatta Fanatics with their pregame move and Spore Cloud ability make excellent screens for a fairly low price tag. It’s common to use them as a screen in early turns and then return half of them from the Loonshrine when they die to offer extra attacks later with their Puffshroom Frenzy ability.

Six Rockgut Troggoths are another hammer (along with Bounderz) and offer more durability (decent saves, decent wounds, and native 5+ wards) to the list as well. They benefit a lot from the +1 attack buffs that are present in the list.

Congratulations, Oleg, on battling back to a 3rd place finish after dropping a game to Daughters of Khaine in round 1. It’s really nice to see a Gitz ‘soup’ list doing so well.

Roland Rivera: Most Reapers of Vengeance lists go heavy on Daemons, especially Bloodthirsters, to take advantage of the bonus to hit for Daemons against Heroes, but here we have a list opting for the road less traveled (in fact, I’m not sure why they chose Reapers at all). Of all the units in the army, only the Bloodmaster, Skulltaker, and Karanak are Daemons!

Instead, this is opting for the increasingly-popular approach to Khorne lists, which is to flood the board with expendable units (Bloodreavers and Claws of Karanak, in this case). You usually see that paired with some big hitters to win key combats (such as Skullreapers), but this list has opted to handle it by committee, running tons of Priests with the full complement of Invocations to maximize the utility of the Hero phase. The Bloodmaster and Skulltaker can also serve as Hero assassins once the battle has been joined, as lone Heroes can find it easy to slip past screens and they are decently punchy for their points. They can easily take out a Hero that has been softened up by the Invocations, for example.

Even by the techy standards of Khorne, this feels like a finesse list that is difficult to pilot well, but Sergei seems to have been up to the task, as I find a 3-1-1 result from a list that does not have a clearly identifiable hammer to be fairly impressive.

Top Three AoS Lists for Kippers Melee 2023

Roland Rivera: It’s been a while since we saw a mostly Gutbuster-centric Ogor list like this one do well (let alone take 1st), which I think speaks well of the state of the current metagame.  Good and honest Warhammer is on the comeback!

As implied above, this list is very straightforward.  You have lots of blocks of hard-hitting units, and your goal is to crash them into your opponent and mess them up.  Gluttons are your high-volume attackers, Ironguts are your higher-Rend can openers (with the option for a double fight if you get them into the right target), and the Frostlord on Stonehorn is the durable anchor in the middle that can also sneak behind enemy lines with its Monstrous Rampage.  Between the mortal wounds on the charge (with every unit in this list averaging 3.5 or so) and their combat profiles, they will put a hole in whatever is unfortunate enough to be charged by them.  It is imperative that you are the aggressor, however, as the only unit that can take a punch in this whole list is the Frostlord.

These melee beaters are supported by a couple of casters (including the Frostlord, which has the Arcane Tome), which can spit out buffs or debuffs as needed, and an Ironblaster, which can be used to clear out screens or as a supplementary combatant if it gets the Blubbergrub Stench spell cast on it.  A unit of Gnoblars rounds things out as a screen/objective grabber.  It will typically be guarding the Ironblaster as it advances into range for its Hail Shot (by far its most effective mode of shooting), but it can also guard one of the Ogor units in a pinch.

Overall, I am thrilled to see that this sort of list is still good enough to take down tournaments, and recommend taking it out for a spin, as it’s a ton of fun.

Aaron Newbom: This list is a straight up brawler

The brand new Ard Boyz pack quite a punch and stick around while they do it to build Waaagh points and then utilize them efficiently as well.

Gobbsprakk, combined with andtorian acolytes battallion and Big Waaaghs bonus to cast and dispel creates an incredibly dominant magic force.

Breaka boss, brutes, pigs, this list has hammer after hammer after hammer

I love this list. It seems fun, rock solid, and fun

Joshua Bennett: Hello readers welcome back to another top showing of our favorite murder ladies.  Today we are looking at Dale Johnson’s list and we love to see the non-Morathi witch elves spam. 

This list consists of two of their most reliable casters in the acolytes battalion which allows them the chance of getting the ever needed primal dice. This helps them get blizzard and mindrazor off to make the the witch elves even more deadly. 

Two of the smaller units of witches are armed with the bucklers to make them better for screening.  They will stick around a little longer while you prepare the 20 block to take on whatever is in your way.  Teamed up with the Gladiatrix and the Hagg Nar temple, your witches can hit and wound on two’s with Mindrazor, can be rend two, and damage two.  At three attacks each you’re looking at a lot of damage into anything. 

The avatars are going to run around the board doing some really cool monsters action.  These guys are also totems, issuing commands 18 inches out.  While they deal a lot of damage they also have a decent save with a high wound count that allows them to stick around a while. 

The last thing that makes this list a problem for most lists in a GT setting, is that it scores five battle tactics and a grand strategy consistently that are almost impossible to stop.  Meaning that you have to score everything and also get the objectives or you will find yourself falling behind very quickly.  It’s great to see DOK in a good standing again.  maybe this is a foreshadowing of what is to come in the future?

Beasts of Chaos have settled into a pretty nice groove overall these days – thankfully far from the janky, meta-terrors they used to be – but still perfectly capable of competing.

The core around which most of their strongest lists are built is a brick of Bullgors – unsurprising for anyone who’s played/against them – because of their charge mortals and mad damage spike potential. In a big brick, they’re a super dense wound total too, meaning they’re difficult to commit to and offer lots of rallying potential.

Supporting them are a mixture of Ungors and Raiders for sneaky ranged chip damage and sniping potential and the usual core heroes.

But then Be’Lakor enters chat – ready to shut down the biggest threat to the Bullgors and allowing way more insurance across the double (or in the event of a failed charge), helping the stampeding hammer to survive and carry on their rampage.

Also noteworthy is the chaos gargant, who’s a cheap, fast monster who once engaged can help the Ungor hit above their weight due to the Garg’s -1 to save aura. Losing only to Meatfist, who for sure have the distributed hammers to deal with the Bullgors, this Darkwalkers list successfully dealt with some nasty threats, especially Khorne, for a well deserved 4-1.

40 clanrats provides a protective screen for 1-2 turns and to prevent any alpha plays, waiting for the right opening for the list to attack

Between the 20 plague censors (10 of which may be in reserve for deepstrike), 2 verminlords and hell pits it can easily table armies in 2 turns if a gap is presented

Further the grey seers and priests provide short range mortal bursts between blizzard and great plagues, aided by Skreech’s dreaded 13th spell

All backed by triple masterclan for consistency making the engagement turn surprisingly reliable for a skaven army

However if you wish to sit back and not engage, that’s fine with the list as its grand Strat simply is to keep the support heroes alive, forcing many enemies to have to engage or risk giving away a grand strategy

It’s a list that has a strong variety of options – so be ready for a wild game!

Leave a comment

This is the top three AoS lists for the Invasion AoS 2023 that took place in the Norway on the 23rd and 24th of September. It involved 58 players vying to be crowned champion in a 5-game tournament. Spoiler, Skaven didn’t win.

CORE BATTALIONS:

TOTAL POINTS: (1980/2000)

Walter Brock: Null Myriad continues its showing of being the sub faction to stand above the others. Ignoring offensive spells on a 2+ covers a weakness in mortal wounds from offensive spells.

Spellcasting savant Remains a tried-and-true Grand Strat for the Ossiarch legions. Being Reliable Grand Strat with the Immortis protection makes it very difficult for the opponents to stop.

Starting off we have the Big Boss himself. Katakros dials everything up to 11. Giving +1 to save and wound in a massive Aura of 24 inches. Having the chance of bleeding opponents of their Command points and giving a unit -1 to hit all help turn the tide of battle and swing the math in the OBR players favor. On top of all this, Katakros himself when within 3 inches of a hero hits incredibly hard.

The Boneshaper is another unit often seen in Bonereaper lists. Artisans key giving a chance for the Boneshaper to use its healing ability on a 3+. Hoarfrost helps make each unit more consistent. Mortek Guard buffed by hoarfrost become a serious threat.

The soulmason is the general in this list. Because the chair counts as a mount means that the Soulmason can be targeted by ranged attack and the Immortis help protect the Mason from threats. Dark Acolyte Makes the first Ossiarch lore spell cast by the Soulmason unable to be stopped. With the Soulmason knowing every spell on the Ossiarch lore it can reliably get off what critical tool it needs for any situation needed.

A massive unit of 30 Mortek Guard. With the points drop Mortek Guard have become a very efficient unit for their points. Having access to several defensive options from command abilities and receiving the buffs from Katakros can make Mortek very Difficult to remove. With the healing from Katakros and the Boneshaper could potentially return 9 models in each Bonereaper hero phase. Add in the Harvester healing and the Mortek Guard might never go away.

Deathriders are seen everywhere. These have multiple applications. Acting as a screen. Scoring battle tactics. Deathriders act as a Swiss army knife of units. Having an application for almost any situation.

A unit of 6 Immortis guard. Another staple seen in many Bonereaper lists. With the change to healing Immortis/Stalkers, they cannot act as the anvils they were before. Gone are the days of 4 Immortis dying and then watching all 4 come back. Their offensive output remains. Immortis are still great at protecting the General.
Lastly is the harvester. With the points drops the harvester has opened as an option recently. Potentially being able to bring back Mortek Guard. Hitting decently hard and opening a battle tactic. The harvester is a cheap option that does a lot of small things that adds up.

All this fits Inside a battle Regiment as a one drop. All together this list has a lot of options and small things that add up to a mountain of potential. Well done to Ben.

Geir Vedeld: The list has three main focus areas:

1) Summoning: With 3 Gnarlwoods (one extra from sub-faction, one from Slimux) together with the Nurglings deep striking in opponent territory, I have a steady flow of Contagion Points coming my way. I summoned more than 400 points worth of units every game.

2) Denial: Taking up board space, being difficult to kill is main. At some point, the opponent runs out of battle tactics as well, and during the tournament I don’t think I had a game where my opponents managed 5 Battle Tactics

3) Most importantly, the list revolves around Glottkin and his Blightkrieg ability. This is also supported by summoning Sloppity Bilepipers (yes, plural). The only game I was really close to losing was the one where I only summoned one. My first two summons were always Bilepipers, so I could fan out and deny pile-in in a huge bubble.

Countercharge is very strong in this GHB. A lot of battle tactics revolve around making charges. The Glottkin’s ability triggers in the end of the movement phase, making his ability very strong! You have the same dynamic in other factions as well, but combined with no pile-in, it is stronger than the mere countercharge.

The reason for units of Plaguebearers is that they can form a line outside of reach for the opposing unit. Sloppity only stops pile-in for models within 3”, so tagging a unit on a corner with a Beast of Nurgle is not sufficient. Tagging a unit on the corner with a Plaguebearer, leaving the rest of the unit engaged but out of reach on the other hand is much more efficient.

Then the opponent is left with either retreating or standing still. And then you countercharge on the retreating unit afterwards…

Slimux provides rerollable charges for BoN. Meaning that even though you might lose your beast, you will actually stop the movement forward for your opponent, and also stop a devastating high rolled charge killing more than your list can handle.

The list does a fair amount of damage over time, but it is neither mobile nor explosive. So a grind is won over 5 turns, not 2. You need to position yourself correctly at an early stage, because you will not move much further. Therefore the low drop to go first. You both get a Sloppity T1 and a good position.

It is not an S-tier list. There are several ways of playing around the list, and if you know them you should be able to bypass. 3d6 charges from Varanguard, denying summoning T1, retreat and charge from OBR, a large unit of e.g. Blood Warriors locking the army down, etc. Heavy shooting or magic taking out The Glottkin is also a very effective way. He is key to the list.

The list is demanding to play, being purely reactive you need to know your opponent’s armies. But it is also demanding to play against, and you are severely punished for small mistakes on both sides.

Danny Elvestad: So! When building this list and any list really, I look for efficiency. In this case I wanted to maximize my value from Knights of the empty throne. That means as much mounted as possible. The recent point changes let me hit some other breakpoints in units I could bring within the confines of belakor, varanguards and decent magic control. That combination has a huge damage output, stable unbinds, and a great defensive option from belakor. After that I look into making battletactics as easy as possible. I landed on a few key units that smooth up the battle tactic game quite substantially.

Varanguard general – If I meet heavy shooting, I present them as a forward screen so I can preserve the rest of my army and rally these guys every turn.

Unmade – Cheap screen with an amazing ability to stop redeploy. Gives me better options for 4 battletactics and some flex for overshadow grand strat. (Charge 3 units, Lead into the maelstrom, Surround and destroy and the match to ruin)

Furies – Great cheap unit with the option to retreat instead of fighting in combat. Flying and move 12 makes this huge. Gives me better options for early surround and destroy. Cool trick with bait and trap battle tactic where you start with only 1 unit in combat. Retreat the 1 unit, charge furies, activate them first, and retreat in combat. Along with 2 more charges from other units thats 1 more battle tactic done. They can also cover a huge distance with this trick to steal backward objectives and such.

Chaos Lord on Karkadrak – My favorite addition. He is just a good bang for buck now. Run and charge from kotet, extra attacks from Khorne, with a cool trick of getting 2d3 impact hits and strike first when he charges. He is tanky, does enough damage, flexible for battletactics and he actually makes rolling on the eye of the gods table relevant. Stacking rend on him can be quite fun. Running up and stealing an objective or killing a backline hero makes the Lust for Power battle tactic very easy. Also he is a fast piece to carry 1 of 2 artifacts. Either deny models with 1 or 2 wounds the ability to contest objectives within 6″ of him, or stop inspiring presence within 6″ of him. I chose the last one but I regretted it for the tournament. Both are great.

I usually try to max buff 3 varanguards and ship them into the enemy early to remove screens. Then I push up wait for openings to get the rest into the good stuff. While mentally marking out what units I need to kill to secure my grand strat. Save belakor for t2 or t3 usually after killing what ever got sent in to kill my 3 varanguards.

I put a lot of effort in maintaining buff ranges, unbind ranges, and defensive formations with terrain, behind my initial charge with a throw-away unit. (sorry 3 varanguards) And positioning my smaller units so they are ready to do battletactics into the next turns.

Peter Holland: I normally let the professionals comment on lists, but there was none of them available so you’re stuck with me!

Gobsprakk, a favourite of mine, continues to show his face in both Kruleboyz and Big Waaagh lists on the tournament scene. And for very good reason! The ability to unbind spells on 2D6 and then add a further Primal Dice to increase that unbind score, means that Gobbsprakk absolutely bullies enemy casters with his ‘Mork Sez No!‘ ability. To make it even worse, this list has the potential to shove Gobsprakk into unbind range from the first turn thanks to ‘Da Great Big Green Hand of Gork‘ on the Shaman. It means that easy battle ‘Magical Dominance‘ tactic on turn 1 ifKnut decides to go first, isn’t quite so easy. Otherwise, you’re looking at the army staying back (possibly) while building up Waaagh points before slamming into the hapless opposition.

Then you have the solid Ironjawz core of the army, with Brutes and Gore-Gruntas, a couple of Warchanters to buff them and a Maw-Krusha with Destroyer, we all know what they do.

Aaron Newbom: An interesting monster mash style list revolving around a souped up mawkrusha and pigs with Gobbsprakk shutting down magic.

I’m gonna be honest I normally see a mawkrusha in big waaagh and assume the pilot doesn’t really know BW well. But this man clearly does with a 5-0 and a tough run of it too.

In many ways this is a list that takes bloodtoofs and subtracts some offense, mobility, and tempo in exchange for flexibility and consistency.

With the meta as it is, the burst damage of bloodtoofs doesn’t break a Soulblight armies back, and this list has to control and late game power to finish the job

Danny Wadeson: Shambling forward, often standing stubbornly in the way, groaning all the while and liable to keep coming back – no, it’s not me trying to bird-watch while hungover, it’s shit tonnes of Zombies! Competitive Soulblight players just can’t help themselves can they – this is why we can’t have nice things! Or, we can have them, they’ll just cost more very soon…

Basically, if you’re not already aware, Zombie in Vyrkos are bloody annoying to shift. And Vyrkos allows for a once per game heroic action to summon 10 Direwolves too – so we’re talking about a WHOLE lot of bodies on circles here. While supported by double corpse carts, 6s to wound do mortals – that’s likely on top of a bunch more you get each time a zombie you kill rolls a 5+.

Gorslav seals the deal as the premier zombie-buffer, helping them shuffle that bit faster with Spoor Trackers and with the Phylactery to project an aura of 5+++, making them truly frustrating to chew through.

Lauka Vai makes an appearance as a cheeky source of -1 to rend, acting as a cost effective monster and possibly making a 6″ pile in too, to compound the misery of having to run head long into all those grabby hands.

Zombies gonna get nerfed soon, somehow – let’s hope the next Battlescroll doesn’t put them in the ground for good…

Roland Rivera: In 4th place, we have an interesting little Khorne list that is built around the solid brick that is a 6-man unit of Mighty Skullcrushers. 30 Wounds with a 2+ save is a very tough nut for an army that does not have plentiful access to mortal wounds to crack, especially if there’s a Bloodthirster of Unfettered Fury nearby to slap -1 to hit on its attackers. While those two pieces anchor down the middle, this list can play some classic hammer & anvil games with the 10-man unit of Skullcrushers, or buy time for the plethora of minimum-sized units in the list to sit on objectives and rack up VPs.

The Hero mix to support this strategy is a Slaughterpriest for more prayers, a Bloodsecrator for a 1/game offensive buff and stronger Rallies for your Bloodbound pieces, and Skarr Bloodwrath as a reusable blocker/source of Blood Tithe. There is also a unit of Wrathmongers to grant extra attacks to any Khorne unit near them. Interestingly, Albin has chosen to g with the Bleeding Icon to shut off Battleshock over the Hexgorger Skulls to further disrupt magic armies, which reinforces the notion that this list wants to play aggressively. This notion is confirmed by the choice of subfaction, which rewards high charge rolls with strike-first.

All in all, this seems like a fun list that forces the issue and make the opponent play reactively to deal with your objective pressure while potentially setting them up for hard counterpunches from its reinforced blobs. Fun and effective – what’s not to like?

Top Three AoS Lists for Death and Riches AOS GT

Leave a comment

This is the top three AoS lists for Death and Riches that took place in Australia on the 5th and 6th of August. It involved 48 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.

If you like what we’re doing, why not join our Patreon and help keep it going?

Also if there’s a one day or two day tournament you’d like us to cover drop us a comment on this post and we’ll have a look at it for you.
