This is the top three AoS lists for the Oceanic Championships of Warhammer – Age of Sigmar that took place in Australia on the 14th and 15th of October. It was an invitational event with 18 players vying to be crowned champion in a 4-game tournament. There were Warhammer 40k and Kill Team events running in parallel.
As an event with less than 20 players we won’t be commenting on the lists.
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.

Allegiance: Skaven – Grand Strategy: Arch-corruptors of the Mortal Realms – Triumphs: Indomitable
Kieren Coates: The list is very heavy on hammers and designed to be played reactively based upon different matchups
It’s been built in conjunction with Mechrat (keegan) and Warpfire Minis (jordan) who have both gone 5-0 and 4-1 respectively as well
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!

Roland Rivera: The Glottkin claims another set of victims! The mobility and board control that Blightkrieg provides adds another dimension to many Nurgle lists, and this is no exception. This list features the classic dance partner for the big fella in Orghotts Daemonspew, who packs a punch and is also tough as nails.
However, this list has no shortage of capable units to Blightkrieg with, as Bloab Rotspawned and the 5-man unit of Putrid Blightkings are also decent options. Heck, the 20-man unit of Rotmire Creed will do in a pinch, though they do their best work sitting on an objective and firing away.
Speaking of objectives, the 10-man units of Plaguebearers make for quality objective sitters, as they are cheap units that count for a significant number of models and are not easy to clear, especially later in the game when they can be potentially complemented by a summoned-in Sloppity Bilepiper. All in all, this list leverages the power of the Glottkin well, and as such is a contender.
Ironjaws is an army defined, more than anything else by the ability “Mighty Destroyers”. Mighty Destroyers is a command ability used in the hero phase to Move, Pile in, or charge. Jaws are Infamous for crossing the board in a single turn and blowing up half your army in one explosive charge, but true followers of Gork know that Cunnin’ is the second half of brutal.
Masters of the Waaagh like Scooter Walters, Noah Singh, and Greg Brewer have long been utilizing a very Cunnin’ maneuver called the Mighty Retreat. To understand the Mighty retreat we have to dive into the mechanics of Mighty Destroyers.
When you issue the command, if the unit is outside of 12″ of any enemies it can make a normal move action. But if it’s within 12″ and outside of 3″ that unit must immediately make a charge move instead. What’s interesting here is that this occurs before the movement phase, meaning you can charge in, then retreat move in the same turn. You can give em the ol’ Goregrunta Reach around and get into some REALLY nasty positions with this surprise movement as most people don’t realize you can do this.
The charge
But merely getting into position won’t win you the games, u’z gotta Smash N Bash em. You have to be able to capitalize on that position, and here’s where the really interesting part comes in. As long as you’ve completed a charge move this turn, you can pile in, even if you’re not in combat. This means that you can retreat and end just outside an enemy unit, and then pile in during the combat phase to attack them.
The mighty retreat
Not only does this let you engage in unexpected places, it also allows you to mess with combat sequencing as your unit is technically outside of combat until you do your pile in, so your guaranteed to hit the enemy before they hit you. Adding this trick to your arsenal can help you sneak into juicy bits and prove once again that Green iz Best.
This is the top three AoS lists for the Sydney GT that took place in Australia on the 9th and 10th of September. It involved 103 players vying to be crowned champion in a 5-game tournament. One of the premier events in Australia run by AoS Coach, there is a lot more at the event than just the games. Take a look at the players pack which is a great example of how to create a fantastic event.

“Hi List Enthusiast,
Post event it was identified that Gotrek was not eligible to be placed in the GHB23 Wizard Finders battalion due to being unique. This unique ruling has unfortunately has been missed by us TOs, the public when all lists were unlocked, and the five 5 opponents over the weekend. It was not raised as a complaint until post-event.
I’ve reviewed the list in full and it does have both the right units to interchange that makes this list legal, and it’s impacts were minimum at best when you review his opponent match ups and kill list. Game 4 was IDK and Game 5 against OBR which did not impact his most critical games. Gotrek’s kill list over the event was Avalanor, 10 Stoneguard, 20 Deathrattle Skeletons, Incarnate of Ghur, Arkhelian Allopex, and 6 Immortis Guard.
Reviewing 120 lists is no easy feat, and based on all the information above, we will keep the victories as it stands. It’s a shame we didn’t catch it earlier and we will review how we can improve our processes including an extension from the current list submission window to allow additional time for TO & peer review.

The Top Three AoS Lists
Allegiance: Kharadron Overlords – Sky Port: Barak Urbaz – Grand Strategy: Rule the Skies – Triumphs: Inspired

Core Battalions *Battle Regiment

Today, we have the great Mark Nodge with Kharadron Overlords list who decided to choose violence. And guns, lots of guns… To hell with it, all the guns. In a trial run of the list, he is taking the Age of Sigmar World Teams Tournament representing Team Australia in early June. He blasted his way through SAGT like Michael Bay blasts through a blockbuster movie.
This list features Grundstock Thunderers, thirty-five Grundstock Thunderers, all packing special weapons for that extra sauce. Thunderers have been the go-to unit for Kharadron devastation of late, and this list skews about as hard into them as possible. The upgrades to their range and consistency with the new Battletome combined with the rend buff from the Khemist makes them deadly at eighteen inches and devastating at twelve. Furthermore, they have the ability for them to give a minus one to hit if they fail to kill something, or unleash hell, from suppressing fire, and finally if someone does tag them in combat if they survive, they get to dump up to 3d6 mortal wounds on their attacker. The biggest issue with the unit overall is its slow speed, which Mark has offset with multiple ways of getting them where they need to be. First off, we have the traditional Ironclad, which is an excellent shooting platform in its own right. The ability teleport, and once per game, dump its cargo, making it the precision piece of this equation. Next up, we have a Soulscream bridge in a spell in a bottle attached to a Khemist. This is a unique endless spell that has two massive bases that must be set up within twenty-four inches of the caster, then at the start of the movement phase, a single unit wholly within six inches may teleport. Even though this can only be cast once per game and is easy to dispel, the utility beyond the teleport itself is amazing. The bases are massive, so you can use them to screen pieces or even lane blockers against armies like Gargants.
Lastly, we have a Gunhauler with a very cheeky “Coalbeards Collapsable Compartments” Endrinwork. This rarely seen contraption gives the Gunhauler the Transport Vessel keyword and a six-man capacity. This is perfect for the unit of five Thunderers to roam around in, and when combined with the Gunhaulers unparalleled movement in the army it can go camp out on an objective while still presenting enough of a threat that chaff units cannot easily shift them off.
Overall, this is an outstanding skew list that presents multiple tough units that are a must kill with just enough support redundancy to keep it all afloat. It should dominate the horde based undead that are currently running rampant, such as Soulblight Gravelords and Ossiarch Bonereapers. It might have some difficulty with armies like Beasts of Chaos and Slannesh, who can pressure the heroes outside of combat. I look forward to seeing how Mark does with it at Worlds.

Allegiance: Skaven – Mortal Realm: Ghur – Grand Strategy: The Day is Ours! – Triumphs: Inspired
Leaders Verminlord Warbringer (400)*** – General – Command Trait: Devious Adversary – Artefact: Rustcursed Armour – Universal Spell Lore: Flaming Weapon Thanquol on Boneripper (430)* – 4 Warpfire Projectors – Lore of Ruin: Skitterleap Grey Seer (120)* – Lore of Ruin: Death Frenzy Grey Seer (120)* – Universal Spell Lore: Levitate Warlock Bombardier (110)** – Artefact: Vial of the Fulminator – Lore of Warpvolt Galvanism: More-more-more Warp Power! – Aspect of the Champion: Fuelled by Ghurish Rage
Battleline 20 x Clanrats (100)* – Rusty Blade 20 x Clanrats (100)** – Rusty Blade 20 x Clanrats (100)** – Rusty Blade
Units 1 x Doomwheel (160)*** 1 x Doomwheel (160)***
Kieren Coates: The list was inspired by IronBlaze – a mad man who has been running doomwheels competitive rain hail or shine.
It’s designed to be a castle buster with still a strong core to finish out the game
Thanquol and verminlord make the base of the list, with thanquol being the key piece into magic dom and horde lists, and the verminlord being the primary physical damage output – if these two pieces are protected over 5 turns they can lift almost any army
Surrounding them to keep them safe is 3 sets of 20 clanrats acting as barriers and forcing the enemy to trade high value units into them, only to have them countered off and the lines rebuilt
For long-range damage, we have two grey seers who can be skitterleaped up the board to drop endless spells before taking gnawholes back.
Further to this, the doomwheels (or better known Zoomwheels) can have their movement doubled by the engineer, combined with 2 sources of death frenzy, levitate and MMWP they become a killing machine with an average movement of 28 inches.
Lob those doomwheels over the top to kill off key pieces that could threaten the life of the warbringer and thanquol, then keep them protected as they lift 2 units per turn and repeat for 5 turns to win the game.
The list is surprisingly concentrated with low health, so it’s best not to get too greedy and take it slow, killing 1-2 units per turn, but staying protected from the enemy counter is a must

Army Faction: Orruk Warclans – Army Type: Ironjawz – Subfaction: Bloodtoofs – Grand Strategy: Hold the Line
LEADERS Megaboss on Maw-krusha (480) – General – Boss Choppa and Rip-toof Fist – Mount Traits: Fast ’Un – Bash ‘Em Ladz – Arcane Tome – Touched by the Waaagh! Orruk Megaboss (140) – Artefacts of Power: Destroyer – Tunnel Master Orruk Warchanter (120) – Warbeats: Get ’Em Beat Orruk Warchanter (120) – Warbeats: Fixin’ Beat Orruk Warchanter (120) – Warbeats: Killa Beat
BATTLELINE Orruk Gore-gruntas (170) – Gore-grunta Boss – Jagged Gore-hacka Orruk Gore-gruntas (170) – Gore-grunta Boss – Jagged Gore-hacka Orruk Gore-gruntas (170) – Gore-grunta Boss – Jagged Gore-hacka Orruk Gore-gruntas (170) – Gore-grunta Boss – Jagged Gore-hacka Orruk Gore-gruntas (170) – Gore-grunta Boss – Jagged Gore-hacka Orruk Gore-gruntas (170) – Gore-grunta Boss – Jagged Gore-hacka
At first glance, this list looks typical for Bloodtoofs, Ironjawz with a Mawcrusha, Megaboss, and 18 Gore gruntas. But there is a little more depth to it. Kyle has tried to address the dismal output of Gore gruntas (Jagged Gore-hackas are 1 damage weapons) with Bash ’em lads and Killa beat. The Mawcrusha has Arcane Tome with Bash ’em ladz and Touched by the Waagh, pick a unit with 6″ and cause D3 wounds to them, the caster gets the number of wounds added to their casting roll. Now, the 8 is at least a 7 and more often than not a 6 casting roll. It grants +1 to wound rolls. Killa Beat (not often seen either) grants +1 to hit. With so many units spreading, the buffs will help, especially with Skull Shaking Bellow, to apply 3 commands for the cost of one (all out attack, for instance). 4 units can have +1 to attack.
The other benefit is that the 3 model units are much easier to move and pile in. It can make a difference to both mortals on the charge and just getting your attacks into the right unit. Shot off the board once by Kharadron it was otherwise an effective approach. The whole list is mobil (except the Warchanters) and can get up in your grill quickly. If the dice are hot, they are a real menance still, especially when you can buff the Jagged Gore-hackas.

Army Faction: Maggotkin of Nurgle – Subfaction: Befouling Host – Grand Strategy: Take What’s Theirs – Triumph: Inspired

TERRAIN 1 x Feculent Gnarlmaw (0) 1 x Feculent Gnarlmaw (0)
CORE BATTALIONS *Battle Regiment
TOTAL POINTS: 1990/2000
Roland Rivera: Here, we have a spicy Nurgle list that successfully executed the submarine (lose Round 1, win the rest of the way to clinch the 4-1). The Befouling Host subfaction lets Nurgle focus more on summoning by letting them place 2 Feculent Gnarlmaws instead of 1 at the start of the game, thus generating more Contagion Points and hitting their summoning benchmarks a bit faster. This is important because (as we will see below), most of the combat blocks in this list are rather lacking in foot speed, and summoning will be necessary to complement your board presence.
In order to get an extra Gnarlmaw, Befouling Host demands a Daemon General, and that is where we see the rather uncommon inclusion of a Great Unclean One. While the big fella is a bit slow, he packs some utility with his chosen artefact in the Witherstave, which makes the mortal wounds from disease points go off on 3+ instead of 4+. It also provides even more summoning points via the Doomsday Bell. Last but not least, Stream of Corruption gives you a potent short-range horde clearing spell that can line up very well into armies with lots of foot troops.
Another interesting inclusion is the Lord of Blights, along with the 3 units of Putrid Blightkings. Blightkings are efficient volume attackers that are very good at chewing up weaker troops, and the Lord of Blights is a durable foot Hero (especially with Fuelled by Ghurish Rage acting as a backstop) that gives you a bit of shooting.
These interesting inclusions are rounded out with some mainstays in Bloab, Nurglings, and the Rotmire Creed. All in all, this is a very interesting list featuring some uncommon choices, but it has the result to back it up.
This is the top three AoS lists for CTC Age Of Sigmar Championship Open that took place in Ottawa, Canada on the 13th and 14th of May. It involved 22 players vying to be crowned champion in a 5-game tournament. The tournament was broken into 2 rounds, one of 3 games and one of 2 games (2nd day). The results are for the combined placings, overall winners are slightly different reflecting standings after day 1 (first 3 rounds).
As this event had less than 25 players attending there won’t be any list comments here as the guys will be concentrating on the larger events of the week.

Christian had a great series of games and managed to pull off some huge charges with his Zombie Dragons against Owen Jacksons Kharadron army (2 12″ charges!). Christian has kindly given us a brief synopsis of his list below.
Christian Moore: There’s very little subtlety to the list, you have one ethereal dragon and then Neferta either makes the other dragon or the bloodknights ethereal depending on the situation, largely it moves as one castle staying within her -1 to hit aura. Make use of her redeploy at the start with her and your 3 key units so you get to see your opponents deployment regardless of drops.
Skeletons tag objectives and then it’s just a high pressure list that pins people back deals a lot of damage at the same time as being super tanky.

Daniel had a great result at the weekend, which included the scalps of Marc Brookes Skaven and Tom Bell’s Big Waaagh. I’ll let him describe his list to you…
Daniel Scott: Big trees teleporting around! what’s not to love. Oakenbrow makes it so that until they are on their last wound remaining any of the treelords or spirit of durthu wont bracket which is big for the spirit of durthu keeping his sword on 6 damage effectively all the time!. The Treelord ancients ability to pop a wood up anywhere on the board combos with all of the tree monsters have a teleport on warscroll and our Warsong revenant having spellsinger which lets him cast through an awakened wyldwood in the same manner as spell portal essentially but he can’t throw endless spells through them now. The warsong revenant also has vesperal gem allowing him to cast treesong through a wood which cannot be unbinded and will increase the rend of your units melee attacks when they are near that wood good to make durthu rend 3 or turn Drychas attacks into rend 2/3. Drycha is a 10 wound monster who can pump out a lot of shots at rend 1 dmg 1 that do mortals on 6s to hit, my favourite thing to do is combo her with a treelord or two so she can unleash hell and then the treelord can make one of the units that charged fight last. The dryads are there to either screen if needed or teleport around into a better position for you. The Spiteswarm hive is great when you don’t roll a 1, of course! giving you a +3 to move and charge or worsening the rend of incoming attacks to a unit, great for being offensive or defensive.
Overall the list is pretty durable and does have access to some healing in terms of a spell or being near an wood/overgrown terrain feature, all the big guys are on a 3+ save there are no ward saves, with this army you are able to position yourself better to counter this and hopefully only have fights that you want to hide away from shooting if needed. Thanks to the maneuverability of the army battle tactics are normally easy to score a great first turn one if you go first (which normally happens due to the high drops) is to complete a charge after using walk the spirit paths, a buffed up durthu can get a +5 to his charge meaning you only need a 4 hit something and then teleport out so he can receive the buffs again next turn. Overall, the list is a tonne of fun to play and really gives your opponents headaches in terms of deployment and playing out there turns!

Yep, another Oakenbrow list! But both are a little different to one another. Ash was on the verge of being champion, only to lose to Christian’s Soulblight.
Ash Coleman: I was playing Oakenbrow, which made my treelords battleline. The other main benefit of Oakenbrow is that it allows the treelord, treelord anicent, and Durthu fight at top bracket unless they have 1 wound left, but even then, you drop 1 bracket.
I also went with the burgeoning as my season of war. This allowed my units to have a 6+ ward unless they made a charge. It was hard to decide between this and the dwindling for the reroll cast, but having cogs in the list allows me to essentially have both.
The idea of the list is to make Durthu as reliable as possible as he will be doing all the heavy lifting. The main combo is giving Durthu +5 to charge from the spiteswarm hive and the battle mage. Skaeth’s Wild Hunt is in the list for +1 to wound spell. So with an AOA or titanic duel, Durthu can be 2s and 2s. The treelord ancient has a once per game ability to summon a Wyldwood anywhere on the board. This allows Durthu to get where he needs to be but also allows Warsong to cast Treesong, which is a +1 to rend spell. The Warsong can measure spells from Wyldoods with the command trait Spellsinger. All this combined with the Greenwood Gladius artefact for the extra D3 attacks makes Durthu a real threat.
All of the treelords can teleport in the movement phase. These are the units going out and getting the objectives while Durthu caused chaos. With a 3+ save and 6+ ward, they can tank a lot. They also have the strike last monster reaction, so even if you get charged, you’ll have a chance to strike them first. They also have a great ability that when you hit an enemy with any of their attacks in combat, they can’t pile in. This is great for tagging the ends of units. The main problem with the treelords is that they are not elite, so they can’t issue commands to themselves. So usually I’d send the treelord anicent with one of them to give an AOA, AOD, or reroll charge if required.
The Warsong has a great warscroll spell that can do AOE mortal wounds to enemy units with 9″ on a Wyldwood. It’s great for finishing units, clearing screens, and killing enemy GCs, and with the Spellsinger command trait I mentioned earlier, he can do it from the other side of the board.

Both Declan and I being Orruk players kept an eye on Joshua’s results all weekend. With the FAQ being released a few days before that effectively killed the Rogue Idols, we knew this would be their last hurrah…
This being the last hurrah for the Idols (unbeknownst), I had a great time smashing and bashing and getting smashed and bashed. The army list with a Maw-Krusha, 2 Rogue Idols, 2 Warchanters, 2 Brute Units and some Ard’boyz is surprisingly fast being a 2 drop I’m hoping for the chance to go first, With mighty destroyers and some good roll’s it hits hard especially with the Idols being violent furied by the Warchanters and a cheeky 3D6” charge from get em beat, a turn 1 charge can seal the deal either way.
My first opponent was a TreeMan list, who hid in his trees at the back edge, I managed to do some damage but not enough, then got out manuvered and picked apart.
My second opponent was Slaanesh, I got priority first turn, and my opponent cheekily placed The Masque 3” from my army preventing mighty destroyers, but allowing a turn 1 “This one’s mine”. It was then a game of trying not to get shot off of the board which my Idols failed but the Krusha survived to go after the big birdie but failed due to the one attack ability on big bird, it was a close game but a loss nonetheless.
My third game was a Be’ Lakor list with Nurgle Knights, Slaanesh Chosen, Khorne Varanguard, and a bridge. He won first priority and did what I was going to do if I had won. He met me at my lines, and a slog fest ensued with one Idol sitting out a turn or two (thanks Be’Lakor) I won the slog fest but not the mission.
My fourth game was against another Slaves, this time with a couple of chariots but still Nurgle Knights and 2 units of Khorne Varanguard. The Idols and Krusha this time picked apart The Slaves whilst the brutes and ard’boyz scored me points.
The last game was against some ghosts who enjoyed a few turns not dying to the Idols and eating the Krusha.
Five great games against five wonderful opponents with beautiful armies.
The Idols are now on 160MM bases and being repurposed for a three Krusha list. It is sad to see the Idols are no more as they are a wonderfully characterful unit. I was happy to win best in faction (yeah for Default Medal) and amazed to be nominated for best painted, I would just like to thank everyone who helped organise and run the event, myself and my mate, who I travelled up with both had a wonderful time, great laughs and enjoyable games.
This is the top three AoS lists for the Cake of Death tournament that took place in Vancouver, Canada on the 8th and 9th of April. It involved 32 players vying to be crowned champion in a 5-game tournament.

TOTAL POINTS: (2000/2000)
So the last hurrah of Tzeentch before the Battlescroll update (which would actually knock this list up to 2030 points) and a refreshing list without a Krondspine!
While not being as summoning heavy as some Tzeentch lists have been recently, this list can still reliably have 10-15 fate points turn 1, just enough to throw some annoying Blue Horrors in the way and keeping them away from the juicier Pinks and/or wizards behind. The Untamed Beasts are handy to get that screen up early doors with their pre-game move. Kairos is lurking behind those screens, ready to throw out a fairly easy 10 – 15 mortal wounds.
The Enlightened are also lurking, with a potentially guaranteed 28″ move/charge with two Destiny Dice 6s. As a one-drop, Matt could more than likely give the turn away at the start of the game, guaranteeing that the Enlightened get the +1 to wound bonus for taking the bottom of the turn.
Add in some flexible Endless Spell support: Sigil to turn would-be chargers into spawn, keeping the enemy at arms’ length; Simulacrum to ruin any wizard’s day; Jaws to eat up Galletian Champions with their low movement, and you’ve got a great all-comers list that can take on and beat anything (even Gitz twice!)! Congratulations, Matt – can’t wait to see what you have cooking up for Tzeentch post Battlescroll.

LEADERS Dankhold Troggboss (200)* – General – Command Traits: Loonskin – Artefacts of Power: Glowy Howzit Skragrott, the Loonking (160)** – Spells: The Hand of Gork Madcap Shaman (70)** – Artefacts of Power: Moonface Mommet – Spells: Itchy Nuisance – Aspects of the Champion: Tunnel Master
Alice: A real bruiser list and a nice departure from the usual squig spam in Gitz as of late. The Troggs are naturally the focus of this this list, and everything is build around supporting them. The General, a Dankhold Trogboss sits at the core of the Troggoth hordes granting +1 to Attack when using All Out Attack on one of the (many) Troggoth units. Their Loonskin command trait is a free faction endless spell which is definitel a nice perk. The Trogboss is decent in combat as well, with their artefact giving them a 4+ Ward.
Supporting them is Skragrott who is just in general one of the best Wizards in the game, and the Madcap Shaman to fill a cheap Galetian Champion and a good debuff piece with Itchy Nuisance to put Strike-Last on the opponent.
Rounding things off is the Sneaky Snufflers to grant a trogg unit a 5+ ward or +1 attack, and the Gobbapalooza to teleport the very slow Troggs where they need to go, in addition to a repertoire of buffs and debuffs to hand out.

BEHEMOTHS Arkanaut Frigate (300) – Main Gun: Heavy Sky Cannon – Frigate Regittings: Magnificent Omniscope Arkanaut Frigate (300) – Main Gun: Heavy Sky Cannon – Admiral’s Flagship
Alice: The Kharadron Overlords book is still working itself through its paces, which is an exciting time to see people try different things. Navigators are a solid auto include with their ability to half movement. The Admiral is essentially a free CP each turn with its free command to one of the Frigates, and between him and Brokk the list is rewarded whether it causes the ships to run and shoot or stay in place and shoot better. The Endrinmaster is a cheap support GC that can keep the ships maintained and kicking.
The rest of the list functions as you might expect. The Arkanauts are cheap workhorse infantry that are great at holding points, while Endrinriggers and Thunderers can shoot extremely well. The Arkanauts and Thunderers in the Sharpshooters can snipe out any pesky Galetian Champions to deny battle tactics while the Endrinriggers in Galetian Command can work as a team with the Endrinmaster.
The two ships function as both shooting and support, carting all these units around. While a lack of Ironclad is noticeable, the Frigate can bring solid firepower to bear and allow more room for more infantry to hold objectives.

Brett: With the death of Bounty Hunters the Brutes have returned in a lot of lists. Pretty straight forward with 20 Brutes, MSU ardboyz for screening and objective holds, 2 megabosses and Kragnos. That’s right it’s Ironsunz with Kraggy – ready for 3d6 charges at the end of your charge phase? Potentially 2 units with the Megabosses issuing commands. Hulking Brute and Gryph-feather charm is a great combo, encourages you to charge (mostly in support of Kragnos) but you should survive the clap back. Destroyer and Tunnel Master is fun to.
The rarely seen Killa beat on a warchanter and the even rarer double IronJawz Fist battalion (free all out attack/defence). This army is all about the smash. Unfortunately Tzeetch cares not for the smash and Ogres smash hard. Any shootin’ or magic and this army is going to struggle (not that Meatfist has much shooting). 3 from 5 is a solid showing with Ironjawz and an example of what a move away from the Pigs brings. In the end though 4+ saves, Bravery 6 and a 1 damage weapon are starting to a look a little dated for an elite army.
