Roland Rivera: Here’s a very unusual style of list for Slaves to Darkness. Most players like clustering their points around 2-3 massive threats, then gear the rest of the army around connecting with them. Not Ludvig – he seems to have gone for a full Nurgle-themed MSU (Multiple Small Units) list, as all of his units feature that Mark and only 1 of them is reinforced. This list can cover a lot of grounds while pressuring objectives, which seems to have been the gameplan because many of hte traditional high-damage elements are missing. Seeing Warriors, Knights, and even Chariots marked Nurgle is no surprise, but the 3 Ogroids would probably be better off with another Mark (however, this would come at the expense of theme).

I am a huge fan of his chosen General for this list – I’ve been in favor of the inclusion of a Nurgle Daemon Prince with the Bolstered by Chaos command trait since the points cost dropped to 150, and the Battlescroll has only made him better by giving him 50% more damage. This guy is a tough (3+ save and 12 Wounds), cheap Hero Monster (thanks to the command trait) that can turn off Ward saves, Roar units you want to take down, pressure support Heroes 7 Rend 2, Damage 2 (3 if you resolve Flaming Weapon) with a 12″ fly speed, and just generally be useful. Ludvig has given him the strike-first ability via the Helm of Many Eyes, which helps simplify the list’s activation decisions (an important thing to have when going heavy MSU).

Another tool in the “simplify combat” arsenal is the Lord on Karkadrak, which can give himself strike-first, as well as the Knights (who are both the heaviest hitter and the toughest anvil in the list) if they are nearby. It also makes for a great Merciless Blizzard caddy. This list may be taking an unorthodox approach to the army, but it turned out to be quite successful.

Chai’s list deviates from the standard Khorne 5-0 list, but he proved that to be very effective. He still maintains some of the standard units, such as the Unfettered Fury, double priests, and Skarbrand. Meanwhile he decided to go with Skullfiend Tribe and leaning heavily into Skullreapers.

Skullfiend Tribe allows units that charge to have fights first if the charge roll was 8+. Coupled with the massive number of attacks from the Skullreapers (boosted by the bloodsecrator) this could prove crippling to an opponent. Two ten-man block supported by a bloodsecrator are going to have a combine 104 attacks, likely hitting on 2s, either from all out attack or their warscroll ability, and having the option of a 4+ rally when they inevitably start to get whittled down.

The only other odd inclusion in this list is the furies. They’re 12″ move and ability to retreat in the fight phase makes them excellent at scoring some battle tactics.

Overall an excellent show of Khorne’s ability to work within the tome’s internal balance and still succeed. Congratulations on the win, Chai!

Ramon Silva: It’s really fun looking at the leanness of a list this late into the season and understand the Fate of the game roles more solely on The decisions of the general, than it does with pay to win or spam.

This impressive 5-1 run by Mike has a list that seems like a jack-o-lantern of all trades; It’s Scarlet doom but only 40 blades, which when this book first dropped we could easily have seen double that- there’s six heroes so it’s definitely got a hero hammer aspect to it, but only one block of spirit hosts (The OG bodyguard/ damage YEEters) So the hosts positioning has to be tight against shooting because although the heroes are ethereal, they are a rather low wound count.

The list finishes out with tech; a 4 pack of banshee’s, an awesome anti-magic unit and the midnight Tome AutoCasting the purple sun. Which is amazing for ghosts because it just gives the enemy negative one to their save. But it also every once in a while sucks something up into the void, which is one of those few times, It’s fun to roll a one.

This list has some old Faithful’s and some new toys that have recently been added to the OBR lineup.  We will go over the OBR bit first and then go over the Mannfred Regiment last.

For the sub faction, we have Mortis Praetorians. Providing a control tool that, when timed right, can stop battle tactics or go on the offensive during the opponents turn. The Grand Strat is a common one we see in spell casting savant because of Immortis guard being used to protect it.
Starting off, we have the Bone Shaper with Artisans key, Sterility, and Blizzard.

Blizzard has a bit of dyssynergy with Savant.  The general might end up blowing itself up on a blizzard cast, but it’s a nice keep away stick and source of damage if you need it to get you out of a bind or push an advantage further.

Arkhan, as we know, is one of the best casters in the game. Able to support the army through heals and spells.  Able to stop powerful enemy casters with his +2 to cast and unbind.  His speed and durability allow Arkhan to go places to go places, and other units would never want to go.  Everything he does complements OBR incredibly well and helps the list do its job.
Two units of Deathriders add a reliable battle tactic, speed, and screens.  They add a lot of consistency to the list and can keep up with the rest of the speed in the list.
6 Immortis guards protect the Important hero’s, function as a solid hammer/Anvil, and open a battle tactic in Sculptors Encourage.


The new edition is the Mannfred RoR.  Which comes with Manny, two units of 3 bats and a unit of 10 Graveguard.  Firstly, at the start of your hero phase, you can pick a unit in the regiment outside of “3” of enemy units and teleport it outside of “6” of enemy units.  Then, the unit that teleports gets an extra attack for the rest of the turn.  This adds a lot of flexibility and mobility to the slower and more expensive OBR units.  Mannfred’s Regiment will be wanting to do secondaries early and teleporting Graveguard to take out important pieces the rest of the list otherwise wouldn’t be able to.  Then Mannfred will also be in the fight, adding another layer of control with his own counter charge.  It’s important to note that every unit in the regiment has to deploy within “6” of Mannfred.

The list is a lot of fun and has a lot of tools at its disposal.

I’m happy to say we’ve been joined by another writer this month. Tom Skelton is both well liked and well known in the Scottish tournament circuit. He has the skills to boot! He’s currently sitting 3rd in the Scottish player rankings.

Tom Skelton: For this list, I got the opinion of Ross Sherrie, chief Teclis abuser on the Scottish world team, and he believes what Jon has here is a melee castle that can stack multiple minuses to be hit. A block of 20 wardens counting as two models each on objectives, with effectively a -2 to be hit, potentially a +3 to save and a five up ward on top, really isn’t going anywhere fast. So at least some of the primary is in the bag, then with the multiple Endless Spells and three battle tactics based on easy spell casting, the secondary points are also there for the taking. The Dawnriders are fast enough for making other passive BTs like Surround and Destroy or Intimidate the Invaders pretty easy to achieve, so overall it doesn’t really need to engage to score points, which is always a win. Not that it can’t dish out the hurt when needed, with the battle cattle, Bladelords and Eltharion each offering up a hefty punch. The Sanctum of Amyntok, though not often seen, is a mere 20 points and, if used in the right spot, would allow Lyrior to be in a garrison effectively, with a massive ward bubble for the army. So, sending out spells and units for secondary points, the castle sets up and camps out for the primary, with the tools for a lot of what comes its way and a decent enough amount of ranged damage from the cow, Eltharion and Jaws to wear down threats as they approach. It seems that with a bit of patience and using the right units at the right time, this list has answers for a lot of what’s out there, which is why I think it’s telling that it only lost to Khorne and OBR, two of the most oppressive armies going. Well played, Jon.

My first commentary of the New Year for Gitz and it’s a King’s Gitz list! This type of ‘soup’ list isn’t as common lately, but as you can see, it still can perform to quite a high level. On to the list!

The Dankhold Troggoth general (with his popular defensive focused Alpha Trogg/Glowy Howzit combination) and two single reinforced units of Rockgut Troggoths are the meaty core of this list. Functioning as part hammer, part anvil they do the majority of the heavy lifting.

The two Boingrot Bounderz units typically act as fast, hard-hitting flankers (allowing you access to a wider range of battle tactics). In this list, they can also be good frontline trading units setting up the Rockguts for maximum destruction and, in a pinch, they are affordable enough they can even be used as screens.

The two Moonclan Shootas units offer some additional ranged support but are primarily there as your objective scorers. The hard-hitting, strikes-first, reinforced Loonsmasha Fanatics will appear out of one of these units at the most inopportune for the opponent. They are an absolute glass cannon, particularly when their variable attack count spikes.

The Madcap Shaman and Skragrott provide the spell casting and utility for the list. The Madcap’s Moonface Mommet artefact (-1 save debuff) and Hand of Gork spell (teleport) are his two biggest contributions. Where Skragrott has so much utility, if you don’t know what he does, it’s probably easier to just have you check out his warscroll!

Congratulations to Matt on his first place finish to open up the New Year!

Ramon Silva: That third drop is the charm!

5-0 with NH in the current meta is much more than 2nd place in my heart. Amazing job, Paul Wilmes!

The list breakdown is pretty much selling the 8th season of ‘rasps’ is the new spam, with a small death star of reapers and revenants. A couple of spirited revivers (which is torment for these guys), a krul thing to reduce damage (not), and a travelling boatman.

Finished off with a teleporting spellcaster for one of everyone’s favorite grand strategies of the season, to be down to good positioning.

Hey everyone, back at it with another shiny elf list review. This time around, we’re centred around the Zaitrec subfaction. The inclusion of Scinari Calligrave and Scinari Cathallar adds both offensive and supportive spellcasting capabilities to the force. With the Merciless Blizzard and Speed of Hysh spells at their disposal, they can control engagements and enhance the overall mobility of the army. Furthermore, the Calligraves’ ability to OPG makes an area of the field a haven for your casters, and troops alike can’t be understated.

Big Teclis at the centre is always a respectable choice, though given his substantial point cost, you do start running low on bodies. That being said, though, Teclis brings unparalleled countermagic prowess, and his ability to securely score Magical Dominance all by his lonesome means he enables multiple battle tactics with his inclusion. The Light of Eltharion, aka The Butcher of Tor Yvresse, adds another layer of versatility, giving a consistent source of rend 3 to ensure the list can handle various threats effectively. It’s worth noting that Eltharion also gets around the new and improved Look Out Sir due to his shooting ability not being a missile weapon. Snipe those heroes!

At battleline we have two sets of Wardens and a big brick of Bladelords providing the foundation, with the Wardens bringing a copy of Overwhelming Heat and a redundant Speed of Hysh it’s likely that you’ll always be able to utilize the mobility the latter provides. Bladelords usually operate as a bodyguard in their five man units, but as a 10 man brick their a solid choice for a hammer. With both perfect strike or the horde clearing mode offering a consistent amount of damage regardless of what the situation calls for. A great tech piece is the Hurakan Windchargers as they adds mobility and a fast-attack element to the army, and if truth be told it’s the reach piece that I’d be playing if I were looking for one. The Umbral Spellportal and Aethervoid Pendulum as Endless Spells provide additional strategic options, enhancing the list’s overall flexibility and damage output through the hero phase.

Taking the Andtorian Acolytes and Battle Regiment as their Battalions means that you are a nice and tidy 3 drops coming in at 2000 points on the nose. Well done and good showing.

Without a dedicated Tzeentch writer, we opened up the commentary to members of our Discord. The Heroic Zammy from.club Wartilyo in the Philippines stepped up to the plate.

‐————-

Zammy: Overall, the list generates a lot of fate points by casting spells while controlling the hero and movement phase.
– List is also surprisingly tough to shift using destiny dice and buffs to protect the jade obelisk block.
– I assume he summons fluxmaster/blue horrors for screens and more spells.
– list locks down enemy in deployment with magister + bolt of change + arcane sacrifice and burning sigil to summon chaos spawn
– casts 9-10 spells a turn
– threatens open objectives with a teleporting unit, ephilim’s pandaemonium

Heroes
– Having the magister as the general is really interesting. If it kills something with its Bolt of Change spell, a chaos spawn spawns, and having arcane sacrifice on this makes is a 27″ chaos spawn summoning platform.
– Ogroid thaumaturge is more of a support piece here with a glimpse for the shield of fate for destiny dice and wards
– Kairos, as usual, is our big mortal canon. He gets Tome of Eyes to protect him from double 1’s. Unfortunately, it’s hard to keep it on the board because of how easy it is to dispel.
– Ephilim and the pandaemonium threaten any backline objectives left open. They’re our one teleporting unit with limited teleports to and from objectives. It’s also a mortal wound platform for turns when it can’t teleport
– Fateskimmer for a mobile blizzard platform with destiny dice generation

Big Waagh is seriously enjoying a resurgence at the moment, off the back of recent battlescrolls aimed at making battle tactic scoring easier for both Kruleboyz and Ironjawz – forgetting, perhaps, that BW had access to both sets…

But here we have an enjoyable, slightly off-meta version of the most comp Orruk-All-Star list. The auto-picks such as Wurrgog, Gobsprakk, Warchanter and Maw-krusha and 15 Brutes are there of course. But then we also have a cheeky Gutrippaz unit, whose -1 to hit if you’re not a hero/monster can still make them an effective screen with some MW potential. And we also see the inclusion of a reinforced Ragerz unit, whose built in run and charge has obvious threat potential and synergy with Waagh point generation.

Overall, the list has a tonne of scoring play and a good amount of bodies and trade up potential. Waagh is BIG these days for a reason.

What Sylvaneth often historically lack is a really good, fast, durable objective bully – I say historically because Belthanos is about to terrorise the entire meta… but in the meantime, a good solution is to ally in a unit of Tempestors, who compliment the strike/fade gameplan nicely.

The rest of the list is now the standard core for Sylvaneth and isn’t much to write home about, but the core tools are still clearly capable of causing trouble for even the strongest meta armies – beating Soulblight and Waagh, despite the one loss to Khorne who just have the tools to shut down all the utility casting of the Treelord Ancient and WSR.

A great pre-Belthanos result, probably the last list we see without him for… ever? Kudos to James!

Kieren Coates: Now heres a skaven list with some wild additions no-one saw coming – showing the true versatility of the skaven book we have many units coming back from the grave including the deathmaster, skyre acolytes, plague monks, and both warpfire thrower and ratling gun weapon teams.

With a list looking like its been pulled out of 2021, it plays similarly to its old counterpart, but now the screaming bell no longer gives battleshock immunity like the good ol days, but now the furnace does instead!

The list has explosive melle output, demonstrated by its round 5 win taking down sons of behemat. 3×20 plague monks buffed with death frenzy and hoarfrost will trade down almost any unit in the game, combined with backup ranged support from 10 acolytes, a ratling gun and endless spells to provide output from a distance.

Running the age old strategy of buffing plague monks, giving them death frenzy and sending them in to die it brings the output, but with the modern addition of blizzard, hoarfrost, and triple masterclan it has far better consistency not only in getting them in, but also aggressively countering anything that dares to charge your frontline.

for 180 points you get 20 plague monks, which on the charge, rabid rabid hit for an impressive 120 attacks, even at 0 rend thats still a lot of damage.

However with death frenzy enabled on the counter killing all 20 models, thats 240 attacks for the combat from only 180 points of models, youre going to be taking some heat and with hoarfrost up its a certain death sentence.

The deathmaster with gnawbomb lets once per game any terrain piece next to the deathmaster to be turned into a gnawhole, so if required expect the list to suddenly flip to one area of the map as plague monks pour out, with +1 to charge and triple masterclan giving them incredible consistency of landing their charge and taking out their intended target.

The list has explosive melle, clanrats for chaffing, ranged output from spells – My only fear would be having the bulk of your wounds on 6+ armour saves, the likes of Blissbarbs, KO, Fusilers and sentinels might just throw you down from a distance if youre not careful enough.

Shouldnt be a problem though for Nic piloting to a 4-1 showing he knows how to keep the rats safe when he needs to, and send them to certain death when its even more important and the timing is right – Well done

Roland Rivera: A very straightforward Nurgle list, this one is trying to do one thing and one thing only: clog the board with a bunch of hard-to-kill bodies and dominate the objectives. The singleton Beasts of Nurgle run interference while the Plaguebearers occupy the center of the board. The Nurglings pressure backfields and rack up contagion points in order to summon even more Daemons

In the Hero department, The Great Unclean One provides support in the form of Fleshy Abundance (for extra Wounds on the Plaguebearer brick) and The Witherstave (for more efficient disease damage), and Monstrous Rampages by virtue of being a Hero Monster. The Poxbringer provides a backup Fleshy Abundance caster, and the Sloppity Bilepiper has the usual pile-in denial shenanigans to give other melee armies fits.

While the gameplan is simple, the success is laudable – this sort of list was not considered to be a serious contender just a few months ago. This result, aided by the Battlescroll shaving down the points on most of the units in the list, clearly argues otherwise.

Top Three AoS Lists for Resurgence (1 Day Event)

This is the top three AoS lists for Resurgence that took place in the Philippines on the 7th of October. It saw 10 players vying to be crowned champion in a 3-game tournament.

We’re very lucky to have gotten to know the Wartilyo crew quite well since their GT we covered back in May. When Lance reached out about producing a Top Three for a recent one dayer in the Philippines, I jumped at the chance. Thanks to Lance for sending the information through and to the players for sending their list writeups!

If you would like your 1 dayer to be covered by Woehammer, join our friendly Discord Server and contact Peter.

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

Heneral Custard: The list started out as a copy of Liam Kavanaugh’s list from Gymhammer last July, but tweaked to my playstyle. I swapped out Chainrasps for bigger chunks of Spirit Hosts to act as a more imposing anvil, fit in a second Guardian of Souls to spread around the +1 to wound aura (and to attempt Merciless Blizzards), and put Pendant of the Fellwind on the Krulghast because I like them sticking with the Spirit Hosts. The points drop was also a big help, and with an odd 80 points, Craventhrone Guard could accomplish skirmishing, activating Harridans, and completing the odd Surround and Destroy.

Spirit Hosts with the coherency change plus Hoarfrost have been a really fun way to play them. Coupled with the +1 to Hit and +1 to Wound auras, they’re surprisingly dangerous. Suddenly, they aren’t just batteries for Kurdoss or the Krulghast to fulfill Led into the Maelstrom; they do catch people off guard with their damage output. The 1-inch range proved to be a problem, but this is coming from someone who used to run 9 of them in a unit during the last season as Galletian Veterans. Regardless, when they survive the melee, they’re some of best targets for Bait and Trap, and then immediately Harridans can clean up.

Speaking of Kurdoss, he’s just fun to throw into the fray. I often forget that he steals command points, because all I want to do is throw him at a problem and see if he can go the distance.

I wanted to get more use out of the Banshees anti-magic effect, but I think many Nighthaunt players agree with me that there is a certain joy in telling people what the attack profile is. Depending on the match-up, they either made for good counter charging or just being happy little screens.

All in all, Nighthaunt’s current strength feel like their ability to accomplish battle tactics. With the points drop, most of everyone’s favorite tools are viable, and after seeing a list that was all Bladegheist Revenants, I think the ghosts are going to be alright.

Commentary by Basa Mogul

Primary idea of the army:
1) Go for magical dominance + blocks of hardy tarpits making way for kroak to blast away

The primary idea of my army is to just step on the objectives and defend them by going for magical dominance in the form of buffs, debuffs, mortal wounds, and unbinding while supporting it with blocks of saurus. The slann is built as a support unit that can turn into a melee warrior (although it didn’t come up because the saurus always survived). The starpriests are also support units that can use merciless blizzards when the situation calls for it. Kroak’s role is to really maximize the magic denial and area denial. One of the main features of the army is the Wizard-finder 20-man spear saurus block that can have a maximum profile of 2″ 40/60A 2s 2s -2 1. Last note, 4+ bites from saurus blocks are no joke.

Notable match-up comments
Khorne: The bloodthirster & skullcrusher is damage ok vs saurus, but bloodletters are painful. I will just let them try to do their 5+ spell ignores vs Kroak blasts.

OBR – Nagash: I will try stay away 30in from him, and just buff the team since the rest of the army not too painful. Main goal is to try and wizard-find nagash, and try to dish-out celestial deliverance via arcane vassal while being out of unbind range.

Behemat – I will just tarpit, and then blast with kroak.

Soulblight – I will just stand-on the gravesites, try to counter all spells, and try to do snipe damage on the heroes with kroak.

Nighthaunt – I will overwhelm them with the amount of attack dice to roll. Since they are using MSU, I think kroak will do well against them.

Stormcast – I will try to hide the heroes behind battle line, and protect kroak with all the buffs, if needed.

BJ Recio: I started the list out with Nagash – the event poster had Nagash sitting on a throne, and as it happened my Nagash was also kit bashed to sit on a throne, so I felt it was fate heh. On a serious note though, what made Nagash worth the 900 points for me was less the 8 spells casting (it’s strong but not that central, I can afford to miscast), but rather the unlimited unbind attempts at +3 roll. That counters the Magical Dominance and Magical mayhem BTs so it seemed like the way to go with the list is battle tactic denial.

There wasn’t a lot of room for OBR units so the bonus command points were not as plentiful, which meant putting in liege kavalos for the free command per turn. Earlier versions of my list used the boneshaper as the general, but Diversionary Tactics didn’t work so well with it because mortisans are slow and hard to position. And I really wanted that command trait to make Bait and Trap and Led Into the Maelstrom hard for my opponent, so I made LK my general.

Battleline-wise, the spear mortek guard with harvester formed the core of my castle, the sword mortek guard was there to grab faraway objectives and force my opponent to split, and the kavalos deathriders were there for my round 1 battle tactic. They’re all expendable because Nagash brings them back half-strength anyway, and I was crematorians so I wanted them to die to deal mortal wounds.

I should note that while the harvester has been nerfed to the ground, it’s 160 points now which for a monster is not bad. The fact that it brings some mortek guard back is more of a bonus than a feature. And since Nagash is there, my opponents tend to think of the harvester as low priority.

Since I did not make my mortisan the general, I couldn’t use Spellcasting Savant as my GS. I went for Overshadow instead, which sucked against Seraphon and their super tough battleline. I anticipated Seraphon to be my weakest matchup overall, since they have bonuses to casting that weakened the point of Nagash’s +3 to unbind rolls. Then I matched against him at random battleplan 1 so I was off my game from the start. I was slightly ahead of him in points but had no chance on my GS. In the future I should consider another GS – maybe Control the Nexus? Still hard.

I did well against other matchups. I knew SBGL is all over right now with hordes of zombies, but between gravetide and the boneshaper’s warscroll spell, plus my harvester-protected mortek guard, I knew I could outlast and wipe those hordes and use the Soul Release spell to force their re-summons to deploy very out of place. Meanwhile, the mirror versus OBR went well because I just tarpitted his Katakros with deathriders buffed by Nagash spells and outscored him by denying BTs and smashing Nagash against his spellcasting savant general.

Joshua Manalansan: First off, credit for the list and its playstyle goes entirely to Jarod Brown– THE top performing Lumineth Realm-lords player who has pioneered and piloted this list to a 5-0 and 4-1 finish. Much more than that, he has been a mentor to countless players in the Lumineth Discord and is the go-to person for all things Lumineth.

Standouts for this list include Rune of Senthoi, Eltharion, Sevireth, Ellania and Ellathor, double Dawnriders, and double-reinforced Bladelords.

With Rune, Enlightener unbinds on a +4 with the Scinari heroes and Zaitrec. This can be powered up even further with the Optimal Focus realm rule giving another cast and unbind if you go second in the round. Eltharion has one of the best points-to-damage ratios not just in the Lumineth book, but in all of AoS. The twins function as half Enlightener and half Eltharion, growing stronger as the game goes on and getting the bodyguard interaction with the Bladelords. Sevireth just crushes the meta by assassinating Andtorian Locuses, going to the sides of the battlefield, and smashing opponent terrain. Dawnriders are the Swiss army knife of this list. Scores easy points, moves up the board to cast Overwhelming Heat, and provides Speed of Hysh for units that go deep. Bladelords provide the bodyguard rule for our Scinari units and ensures Spellcasting Savant. With Perfect Strike, they will on average deal 9 mortal wounds to whatever they touch.

This list utilizes the Andtorian Acolytes battalion and has overall better usage of primal dice compared to Teclis-based lists. Along with how common Locuses are, the changes to “Look Out, Sir!” and the Sentinel point increase, this list might just be the best way for Lumineth players to tackle the current GHB!

Well. Well well well. What have we got here? It looks like a well balance, non-skewy Meatfist list without Kragnos! And it’s only gone and gone 5-0!

So let’s try and break down how. The first obvious synergy is the two Brawlerguts Tyrants in Meatfists – what this means in practice is they’re doing charge mortals equal to on 3+s on dice equal to their charge roll. So that’s already a spicy little duo of pot-bellied rockets. The Firebelly is enjoying a bit of a resurgence in this season, mainly because of his Billowing Ash spell, which is a 12″ aura of -1 to hit, which is obviously fantastic and can now more reliably forced through with primals. You’ve also got the typical FloSH because it just represents too much utility and threat projection to leave home without.

Making up the ‘meat’ of the list are 2 units of gluttons and some Ironguts, who all received points drops recently making them much more viable. And with the +1 to charge mortal rolls from their sub-faction, are all looking for 4+ (while they’re over 2 models). The foot lads can be surprisingly slappy, and the Ironguts mean a once per game double-fight activation where necessary to tip the scales.

Rounding out the list and fitting nicely into a 2-drop, are two little bits of fun tech. Gnoblars are perennially fantastic screens who can punish people for getting close with yet more sneaky mortals, and the lone Gorger is an off-board piece for helping score Surround/Destroy or threatening a back objective. They also have the additional tech for turning off battleshock immunity and rally if they’re engaged, which in concert with another charge can potentially be devastating.

All told, the list clearly just works. It’s big, it’s slightly clever, and it’s frankly very honest. Love to see it going 5-0.

CORE BATTALIONS:

TOTAL POINTS: (1990/2000)

Keegan Graves: Essentially the list is built around superior combat tricks, counter charging, and threat saturation. I have 5 units that do good damage in melee, and 3 that do ranged mortal wounds from spells and prayers. Then the list is designed around enabling those damage sources.

Three clawsteps ahead is the strongest ability in the skaven battletome, by far. It gives the list so much consistency in movement, and so much flexibility in the combat phase.
The extra pile ins, combined with 3” melee on the verminlords, fight on death, and the consistent charges, allows me to pick good activations to get the best value out of my melee troops, as well as extending my melee threat ranges significantly. This also combos well with the warp grinder, who usually deep-strikes a unit of censers to the battlefield, ready to fish for a 9” charge. With 3 clawsteps I essentially get 3 tries for the 9”, 1 with a prior unit, and the censers themselves with a reroll.

The plague priests and wizards give my army essentially a 13” kill box. Skreechs warscroll spell and the great plagues especially can gun down something with an average of 15 mortal wounds when I focus the two. It helps with dissuading people from charging my lines, as well as clearing space for my units to charge.

The list, simply put, just pumps out damage, everything in the army hits like a ton of bricks, from the verminlords to the hellpit to the censer bearers. The list can snowball very fast and is designed to secure games in the first 2-3 turns, to make up for skaven struggling on the tactic side.

Roland Rivera: Another week, another Glottkin list with a podium result – seems like that points cut is making quite the impact. The metagame shifting to be more melee-centric doesn’t hurt, either. This list is an interesting spin on using the Glottkin, however, as Drowned Men is usually not the subfaction chosen for that sort of list, as going heavy on Pusgoyle Blightlords typically burns through your points allotment in a hurry. However, with a bit of compromising on his Fly count, Raymond has made it work.

This list has paired The Glottkin with some interesting dance partners, as it features both a reinforced unit of Plaguebearers (useful for pinning opponents in place with big blobs of bodies) and Rotmire Creed (useful for peppering the opponent with shooting). It also features a Lord of Afflictions with Overpowering Stench as a way to shut off commands.

In summary, this list seems to be the result of mashing the two best-performing styles of Nurgle together to see what happens, but the end result seems to be strong enough to perform well.

Craig Ellis: In terms of support there are 2 GoS with their excellent +1 to wound aura, healing spell & one with Merciless Blizzard (extra primals needed from the acolytes battalion) & Shademist (-1 to be wounded on a unit) on the other making a unit extra hard to kill. This durability is helped with the Krulghast -1 to damage in melee aura. The Generals command trait extends the Aura of Dread trait to 6” away, meaning he’s extending the range of denying Inspiring Prescence, helping with battle tactics and also adding a bit more damage (Lady O’s lifting the veil ability adds +1MW if the enemy is terrified!) Lady O herself provides that once-per-battle bringing back models to every unit in the army to keep stuff around a bit longer, and a 5+ Command Ability deny from 12” away to help deny crucial Redeploys or AoD’s. Her Lifting the Veil is great for sniping foot heroes (don’t roll a 1!). The spirit drain spell she’s been given adds to the anti-horde theme. All of this helps charge up the Black Coach, as the dice ticks up every time a model dies within 12”, meaning he’s going to be getting multiple attempts in the game to unleash the 3d3 MW rocket from the Coach, with its Evocation of Death ability. The Suffocating Gravetide is the cherry on top for those hordes, providing a serious threat to large model count units, as well as being a giant base for controlling enemy movement.
The main weakness is staying in power. If he gets drawn into any attritional lengthy combats, he’s going to lose. Anything getting a successful alpha into this is going to put some serious hurt in, too. Careful deployment is required as there aren’t too many screens unless you count the banshees. It’s will require careful positioning to strike at the right time without being left open to the double turn.

It’s aggressive, has high output, scores well, and doesn’t care about the Nighthaunts main weakness, being its susceptibility to the hit back. Very nice.
