Key Features
- Admech proving that they are very much not dead leveraging Mars to provide consistency to low volume, high damage artillery (onagers, disintegrators, and ironstriders) and Lucius providing improved durability to rangers, vanguard, and kastelans to allow you to spread around the board
- Enginseers keep your artillery running and more efficient while your Lucius grinds people into the ground
- Two possible avenues for solar flare including both the Kastelans and 20-man vanguard bricks, both of which can bring the pain when they drop in 9” away from your opponent
- Datasmith can also provide transhuman to nearby Core units improving the durability of your teleporting threat dramatically
- The mass of D3+3 damage fire means that into prime match-ups like Thiccc city you can pick up pain engines much more reliably
TLDR
- Mars brings the firepower; Lucius brings the durability and… teleportation? Rocks are fired at close to the speed of light, everyone dies.

Key Features
- Helbrecht fills the roll of combat beatstick and force multiplier, the Bike Chaplain provides a mobile buff platform via litany of divine protection (5+++), fires of devotion (+1 attack), and litany of hate (re-rolls) while also being impressively durable from Tannhauser’s Bones (Reduces all damage to 1), Master Apothecary can revive models within 6” and put models into the assault doctrine
- Whirlwind providing suppression fire should not be overlooked providing a source of both fight last and turning off overwatch for a very melee focused army
- A multitude of solid combat options including a brick of -1 damage terminators
- And some firepower from eradicators and redemptors
- An eliminator squad that provides you with an impressive number of movement shenanigans
TLDR
- Lots of zealous marines with their efficiency boosted to ludicrous heights by force multiplying characters that just won’t die

++ Total: [104 PL, 7CP, 2,000pts] ++
Key Features
- 3 Nemesis Dreadknights and a grandmaster in a dreadknight provides impressive firepower, close combat, and movement shenanigans via the teleporter. Once you start adding on psychic powers like Empyric amplification (+1 damage to psi weapons) your Dreadknight weapons start to pump out serious amounts of damage at range
- The swordbearers stratagem means if you need something dead it’s likely going away
- Wardmakers provides a lot of flexibility for your psykers by letting them recycle powers, and the warlord trait (Loremaster) means you can prevent your casts from being denied in key situations (sure it requires an 8+ but
- Foretelling of Locus provides much needed flexibility that you can get from pre-game redeployment
- Omen of Incursion punishes your opponent for bringing in models from reserves by letting you take potshots at them (likely, with your incredibly potent Dreadknights)
- Also don’t discount strikes or interceptors, interceptors can move around the board swiftly via personal teleporters and the teleportation shunt stratagem. The fight on the move stratagem means interceptors can whisk themselves out of combat and still shoot or charge back in
- Words of power further amplifies the weapons and then warp shaping provides you an opportunity to manipulate your tides as needed
TLDR
- Four Dreadknights bring the heat while the little ones in power armor provide mobile elements for taking objectives or performing actions

Key Features
- Similar to our previous GT winning Crusher stamped list your primary benefits are -1 damage, models on a point equal to your wounds for monster models and then a 5++ for your army
- Key differences from the previous list include a malanthrope, which keeps your monsters safe by providing an aura of -1 to hit, and the adaptive neural lobe means you can regenerate much needed CP to keep your monster damage engine running, it becomes a true force multiplier via swarm leader and then redeploys provide another layer of jank
- Hive guard ignoring AP1/2 via enhanced resistance and then impaler cannons means you’ve got plenty of durable artillery to punish your opponent, which get further boosted by symbiotic weapon bond, Leviathan stratagems, and full re-rolls from swarm leader
- Focal essence on the Maleceptor means you ranged weapons (Mostly the Hive Guard) are even more efficient by making D3 damage more reliable and increasing the AP of your shots
TLDR
- Big bugs, artillery, and force multipliers. What more could you ask for?

Key Features
- A Thiccc City pain engine variant, this time with 8 Talos, 15 grotesques, and a bevy of wracks all in Artists of Flesh detachments to make them much more tacky
- Mandrakes provide easy ROD or can harass backline objective holders, or can infiltrate and screen making the impressively flexible
- Competitive Edge/Triptych Whip succubus still provides impressive blending abilities
- Animus Vitae toting haemonculus means you can manipulate PFP, heal monsters, and provide a convenient aura of +1 Toughness that’ll help keep your pain engines and grotesques alive late into the game
- A venom provides a transport that can move wrakcs and the succubus around the map, meaning that no part of the table is completely safe from your infantry forces
- Another list without Drazhar or Cronos? Perhaps this is a trend?
TLDR
- 8 pain engines? 15 grotesques? 30 or so wracks? That’s enough to build a durable army that will take the board while delivering the hurt.
