The Adepticon results are in, and the latest top unbeatable army for Warhammer 40k is Chaos Daemons!
Adepticon 2019 was full of pro players and homebrew lists. Take a look at the list that managed to climb its way to the top without taking a single loss. This was the list that ruled them all!
Thanks to Best Coast Pairings we can look back at all the details from the event.
1st Place: Chaos Daemons- Jim Vesal
Taking a look at two Battalions and a Supreme Command detachment, Daemons managed to pull out a victory in every round. Two massive units of Plaguebearers sat on the board and refused to get scooped off. On top of all this, a couple of Nurglings ran around and managed to hold onto some objectives in the early game.
Chaos undivided ran a squad of 15 Bloodletters to nuke something in melee out of deepstrike. The Pink Horrors and Brimstone Horrors acted as a screen and extra wounds. A Khorne Daemon Prince leads the charge in the detachment. If he could manage to get into melee combat with a tank, it would be toast.
Finally, a Heretic Astartes Supreme Command Detachment was brought along with Ahriman, two Daemon Princes, and a Sorcerer. The Psychic output from these guys is almost on-par with Magnus. However, it’s really a better option because none of them can be targeted unless they’re the closest.
Looking at the meta of 8th edition, Daemons have proven themselves to be a solid choice. This list ran a total of three! This list faced multiple Castellans, Genestealer Cults beat down lists, and Eldar raiding parties and still clawed its way to victory.
