Here are a few of my favorite lists with at least 5 wins from this year’s BAO.
In total there were 15 players withm at least 5 victories at this year’s BAO. Of these players 5 went undefeated, and only one was the true champion. (Go Brandon!). Listed below are a few armies I thought stood out from the rest. They were either fun, unique or both and kudos to each player for designing a list that suited their own style and performing well with them. One quick note, I did not include Brandon’s list here because I wanted to show you guys lists you haven’t seen yet. Now, onto the lists!

I would also like to give a special shout out to Matt Barlow for not only getting best Tyranids but also being 1 perils, and failed grounding test away from making the top table and competitng against Matt Root for the championship. Also, there were two Blood Angels players in the top 16 with a 5-1 record. Danny Kwan, and David Hetherington. Guys I want your lists! You seem to be the only players whose lists I don’t have. So if you can, shoot them over to
