3rd Place: Colton McInnis – Necrons

2nd Place: Nick Steeves – Astra Militarum

1st Place: Keenan Elliot – Adeptus Custodes

Keenan’s winning Custodes was a two detachment set up, with the first being a battalion of Custodes led by Trajann and a Captain on Dawneagle Jetbike. Trajann is a fantastic HQ who is both a great combatant and support piece as he is one of the best Custodes models. The Captain provides a re-roll aura while being on a mobile body with great durability and ranged power.

Troops have 9 Custodians and 6 Sagittarum, which are all standard choices that are way more effective than other faction troops and much more point-dense. They can also perform very well in both melee and ranged combat.

Elites bring in two Contemptor Dreadnoughts, which are fantastic armored threats with decent melee options and a good melee statline in a pinch.

Heavy Support closes the detachment with a Grav-tank, a great ranged threat that can easily take out enemy armor or elites.

Finally, the second detachment is just bringing in 2 Helverins with Meltaguns to help remove any armor threats from range to allow the foot-slogging bodies to go up the board uncontested.
