3rd Place: Terek Haehi – Leagues of Votann
2nd Place: Donovan Sailo – Grey Knights
1st Place: Ben Jurek – Astra Militarum
Ben’s winning guard list was led by two Tank Commanders for orders inside a tank and ranged shots, Leontus for one of the best support and solo models in the faction, and Ursula Creed for bonus orders each turn. There is also a Command Squad for some solid special weapons and orders.
Battleline brings in a single unit of Catachan Fighters for simple, cheap bodies, while elites start off with three squads of Bullgryn, bringing in the basis of the front lines to both soak wounds and put out some damage while helping with objectives and two Basilisks bring in some anti-armor shots.
Three units of Kasrkin for more elite infantry are great ranged options without breaking the point bank.
Two Manticores add more vehicles for ranged threats to help focus the biggest issues on the opponents’ army.
Lastly, the list closes on two Scout Sentinels for some cheap mobility that round out the points.
