Eldar got to a first-place finish at CaptainCon over the weekend, as these Warhammer 40k army lists took the top three spots!
The tournament is over, and now we can look at which lists managed to secure a place at the top! Check out what these winners brought into their armies.
Eldar Snag CaptainCon: Top 3 40k Army Lists
Thanks to Best Coast Pairings, we can look back at the event as if we were all there ourselves.
3rd Place: Tyler Russo – Orks
2nd Place: Alex Ing – Adepta Sororitas
1st Place: Daniel Wohlmuth – Eldar
Daniel’s winning Eldar is pretty normal, being led by the Yncarne for a mobile melee threat, a Farseer Skyrunner for mobile psychic support, and a Shadowseer for more psychic support.
Troops keep it standard with 10 Rangers for cheap bodies and 20 Troupes for slightly better bodies with more mobility.
Elites go with melee threats in 5 Scorpions and 10 Banshees that all want to charge in. There is also a Warlock Skyrunner for even more mobile psychic support.
Fast Attacks have 2 Windriders and 3 Shining Spears for some high-power mobile threats.
Heavy support wraps up the list to a crisp 2k with a War Walker and a single D-Cannon.
