Hold onto your dice bags, fellow generals! The World Championships of Warhammer Age of Sigmar just went down in Atlanta, and it was epic – like, Maw-Krusha levels of epic.
First up, let’s talk about the man of the hour – Nicholas Tassone, the Archmage Teclis maestro. Teclis and his Lumineth Realm-lords snatched the World Champion crown, and let me tell you, it was a spell-slinging spectacle. Teclis overwhelmed foes with a magical onslaught, backed up by Scinari Calligrave and Cathallar flexing their Primal Dice muscles. Mobile units of Vanari Dawnriders played capture the objective, and the opponents? Well, they were left scratching their heads.
Now, for the underdog surprise – Tom Mawdsley and his Skaven. Second place, baby! The ratfolk may be on the lower end of win rates, but Tom’s Grey Seer on Screaming Bell strategy was a genius move. Plague Censer Bearers followed the Clanrats, creating chaos and luring enemies into attacking his tolling terrors. Cue A Stirring Beyond The Veil, and bam – Verminlords crashing the party.
But it doesn’t stop there. Gloomspite Gitz, Soulblight Gravelords, Ossiarch Bonereapers, Ogor Mawtribes, and Orruk Warclans rounded up the top eight. Three from factions with average win rates prove it – this ain’t just about stats; it’s about outsmarting your opponent. Skilful generals are flipping the script and proving there’s always room for surprises.
So, next time you’re crafting your list, remember: it’s not just about the tried and tested. Get creative, bring the unexpected, and who knows? Maybe you’ll be the next Teclis or the ratfolk rising through the ranks. Until then, keep rolling those crits, and may your tactics be as unpredictable as a Loonboss on a squig!
