173-player, 8-round Supermajor in Highbury, South Australia, AU on January 23 2026. All the lists for this event can be found in Best Coast Pairings.

Note: The results of this one got weird - as I understand it, there were only two undefeated players going into round 7, so it was determined that their game would decide 1st/2nd place rather than leave the possibility of them getting leapfrogged in the 8th round.

Archetype

Redeemer Marines

Thoughts

Following the recent resurgence of Land Raiders, the Ultramarines get in on the act here, shoving a Redeemer into the existing game plan of 'Victrix, Vindicators, Victory'. It gives you a great push piece for forcing enemy commitment and the flamers hit very, very hard with the boosted Oaths of Moment. Otherwise it's a real toolbox here- some Impulsors, Inceptors, and the Callidus to tisk off tasks as Victrix do the dirty work. Amazing work on the event win!

Mont'ka Pressure

Thoughts

Old school Mont'ka pressure here, with plenty of Riptides, Devilfish with Pathfinders, and supporting scoring. The new pricier Stealth Suits still make the cut, and the list seems to completely strip back on backline presence (with a couple of Ethereals as a cheap option), in order to send it forwards as much as possible. The way it's meant to be played, excellent work.

GK Stormraven

Thoughts

A build that surfaced briefly before the world moved on, but is nonetheless rather versatile and deadly, the Warp Bane Stormraven list packs a brutal sucker punch via disembarking Purifiers that allows it to open up a game at short notice. Triple Librarians bring some of the old school GK sniping energy, and the rest of the list offers some scoring and solidity. GK aren't easy to get up into the top places with right now, so credit where it's due!!

Archetype

Pantheon Big Skew

Thoughts

Pantheon sure does let you hit the skew button hard, with plenty of C'tan (some teleporting around - pesky Transcendants!) and the Silent King. SK is quite a crucial tempo piece for these new Necron lists - he let's you whittle away at things from safety in the early game, and he benefits more than most from being able to emerge from hiding to kill the opposing anti-tank, leaving himself functionally immortal (hehe). Deceiver leads the C'tan charge - what an obnoxious piece he is right now, with Precision for days and a tiny base that makes engaging and screening him especially difficult!

All-In BA

Thoughts

Go Chris!! My 6++ teammate brings home the gold on the vicious all-in Rage Cursed list. I've played against this a couple of times and it is very good at setting immediate pressure and not letting up. Blood Surging Dreadnoughts with a 5+++ seizing the objectives gets the party going before ALL the infantry get involved- a lot of armies simply get overwhelmed. RCO seems to have brought back the BA style that fans most enjoy - decisive, risky, but brutal strikes from afar that leave nothing on the pitch. Amazing work on the event win lad!

Thoughts

A tasteful reference to the tears of others followed up by Silent King, some C'tan and some Doomsday Arks. Pulling out all the stops here! Praetorians and Deathmarks give you some speedy and deliverable MSU, but otherwise this is stat check central, with the ability to reactive move the King or a C'tan at a key moment to throw off an attempt to bring them down key to launching a counter-offensive. Amazing work on the top placing!

Champs Brutality

Thoughts

Porting over the Virulent list to Champions of Contagion here, with the Daemon Prince, Blightlord Brick, and Plague Marines all benefiting from greater Contagion flexibility and access to some nasty rerolls. Blight-launcher Drones make way for more stuff on the ground, with triple Blighthaulers ready to provide the anti-tank. I think Death Guard have crept back in happily to a meta increasingly full of melee marines and Custodes bodies, and applying overlapping contagions and some tasteful Fights First out there goes an awful long way. Excellent work on the event win!

Ret Cadre Toolbox

Thoughts

If you're not going all-in with Mont'ka, you can do clever antics with Ret Cadre instead and whittle the opponent down with the appropriate Crisis teams before hitting the shove. Stealth Suits kick back even harder against the nerf allegations here, with THREE teams in tow to juice up the suit shooting. Ret Cadre plays an excellent mid-tempo game, and in a meta with a lot of Marine bodies the Fireknives in particular feel a sound investment. Amazing work on the top placing.

The Best of the Rest

Archetype

Angron and MSU

Thoughts

The stroppiest primarch emerges to lead his legion into a post-Berzerker brick future, with loads of Eightbound and Spawn giving you a mini missile trading game instead. Forgefiends make a return, their eyes lighting up as someone informs them Victrix are now 3 wounds a pop. WE are watching the meta with hungry eyes - if the Necrons all start skewing into Infantry to tech for each other, the door opens to them making a vicious return. In the meantime an excellent pilot can still take them to the heights, as William has demonstrated here. Fantastic work :D

The Best of the Rest

Thoughts

I know what you're all thinking. Tom, where did all the Aeldari go?! I'm worried about them! It's been a week or two since I saw elves in the top placings, I do hope everything is ok. Well, I've got a treat for you. Two builds that showcase possible new directions for the faction, throwing down in a final!

The interesting thing is that, whilst the detachments differ, much of the chassis is the same. Seer Council brings teleportation and lone op antics, as well as some on demand battle-shocking. In the other corner the Guardian Battlehost juices output, and enables you to resurrect Guardian bricks that don't fully die to keep them in the fight.

Units wise, the overlap is very real - Guardians of both flavours make the list, Warlocks are here in abundance for some volume flamers and overwatch, and Eldrad provides +1 to wound to take the massed fire up a level. Both lists need to apply him carefully - lose the buff and some of these weapons will struggle with big targets. They can apply massive threat in one or two areas, clearing their way to a more controlled board state. Aspect Warriors are relatively light on the ground here but Asurman adds additional non-interactivity to the Battle Host list.

Elf Mirrors have often been rapid, brutal affairs decided heavily by Swooping Hawks and Warp Spiders. With a bit less speed and a lot of volume shooting on both sides, this one ended up a very grindy and close affair! Excellent work both. Keep the elf dream alive.

Seer Council

Thoughts

Wings, sneaking in at the end: The big brain Seer Council special here, able to score and keep foes on their toes with all the teleportation tricks. It's also pretty good into melee Marine builds, as the overwatch threat from the Warlock Conclaves (and reactive Mortals from Vaul's Wrath) can make it tough to reliably engage. Seer Council is fairly unique among Aeldari in that the big blocks can be really hard to kill too, adding some staying power. Even into C'tan, the chip damage from massed Flamers with Doom up can cause some pause, and if you want an Aeldari build to try out, this one can be good fun. Well done Peter!
