3rd Place: Alexander Jessen – Thousand Sons
WTC 2024 2nd Place 40k Army List: Jesper Unander-Scharin – Dark Angels
1st Place: David Gaylard – Thousand Sons
David’s Thousand Sons were led by three Exalted Sorcerers for NERFing enemy movement and buffing friendly units’ durability, three Infernal Masters for Sustained Hits, and Magnus for a huge well stat-ed model with great abilities to buff allies while still packing a punch.
Troops keep it simple with 15 Rubric Marines, but they each sport a Soulreaper Cannon, which is great! They are all also quite durable, making for solid bodies.
The list then brings in some cultists and chaos spawn to help soak some wounds, while three Vortex Beasts add larger melee threats to close things out.
With these army lists, the WTC showcased some impressive tactical Warhammer 40k gameplay. Thousand Sons and Dark Angels claimed the top spots on solo scoring, showcasing the continuing trend in what players should consider. Overall, studying these army lists can provide valuable insights and inspiration for your own army-building for both newer Warhammer 40k players and pros alike.
