Vanguard Onslaught Pressure

Thoughts

A return for the most baller of the Tyranid detachments here, as Vanguard Onslaught claims a GT win. Full send Genestealers feels like a lot of fun, and the Hive Tyrant helps dole out free strat support from the excellent VO toolkit. Melee Warriors are a fragile but brutal follow up to the first wave- if you're not very careful, you'll be overrun! Amazing work on the event win.

Thoughts

The brutal drop-punch of Bridgehead is making waves at the moment, and this build compliments them with a smattering of on board solidity (Taurox) and counterpunch (Rough Riders). When it picks it's engagements and starts blasting this detachment slaps with all the fury of index release GSC, and it can build momentum very quickly after the first few salvos. A real meta contender, well done on the top placing.

Thoughts

World Eaters just keep on trucking don't they?! The same template has held up remarkably well and keeps finding new pockets to thrive in in the competitive meta. The speed and reach this index has helps it to hang at the moment in a world of fast shooting armies, and the Eightbound trap remains as deadly as ever. Really well done on the top placing!

Thoughts

Gulliman, Calgar and the boys are having a good few months. Not a tonne more to say here -new oaths is amazing and particularly good on the already very well supported Ultramarines unit roster. Desolators creep back in as a trouble shooting option for pesky elves and GSC and the like, leaving this list with very few outstanding weaknesses. Really well done on the event win!

Reaper's Wager Pressure

Thoughts

Cody likes to run quite unique, pressure heavy Drukhari lists, and I am delighted to see they've translated this style over to Reaper's Wager. Two Beastmasters provide early jail, before a bunch of Talos and Grotesques follow up as the Voidraven blasts away from the edges. It's a potent build and the toolkit in Reaper helps it get damage wherever it needs to. No need for the Harlequins at all here, which is a testament to how well the new detachment has been designed. Really well done on the event win!

Be'lakor Slaanesh

Thoughts

A distinct spin on Slaanesh that plugs Belly in to get a bit of ranged protection. Slaanesh is very dangerous but also has to make up ground in the face of heavy fire sometimes, so buying a turn or two to close on the enemy before the absolute madness that is the Slaanesh stratagems kicks in makes an awful lot of sense. Really well done on the top placing!

Knights are quietly enjoying the Grotmas meta, with a nice blend of decent shooting and sufficient stat-check to catch out some of the armies teching away from armour.

Thoughts

A very intriguing showdown here, as the Guard face off against the Plague Companies of the Death Guard. At first glance I thought this might be a bit one sided, with Bridgehead primed to pick the Death Guard off before they can close. But the Land Raider gives the smelly bois a bit of an in on that score, able to push Deathshroud up board quickly and absorb the first drop of Guard shooting. -1 to hit can make Guard life a bit precarious and there are a tonne of flamers for hoovering up the infantry bodies. The actual on-board presence and output of the Bridgehead list is a tad light, and on a mission like Scorched that gives the DG a chance to build up some score. In the end, it looks like the superior firepower eventually showed but what a tight game! Well played both.

Archetype

Bridgehead Infantry Carpet

Thoughts

As unpacked above, Bridgehead is definitely one of the armies to beat in the new meta. Horrendous firepower, lots of 6 inch deep strike, and the ability to switch up attacks and areas of focus on a whim. Indirect helps shore up those hard to reach places. Super strong.  Really well done on the event win!

The Best of the Rest

There were 5 more players on 4-1 records. They were:
  • 2nd - Craig Farrell - Death Guard (Plague Company): A heroic effort from Craig on his unique Land Raider Death Guard build from the showdown, well done mate.
  • 3rd - Simeon Pollard - Adeptus Custodes (Solar Spearhead): Warden / Caladius / Venerable Contemptor spam in Spearhead.
  • 4th - Paul Sheard - World Eaters (Berzerker Warband): Lord of Skulls / Eightbound heavy World Eaters.
  • 5th - Adam Wass - Ultramarines (Gladius Task Force): Double Repulsor Executioner Marines dials it back to 8th edition, love it.
  • 6th - Shaun Delaney - Blood Angels (Liberator Assault Group):  Go-wide melee Blood Angels with some tasteful Ballistus in support.

Wrap Up

There you have it guys! Guard and Slaanesh flex their muscles but there are a lot of contenders out there and the field appears to have stayed wide open since the slate. A golden age for balance that makes writing these a lot less monotonous, well done GW. Keep on slaying out there!

Lowest of Men, out.
