The Sunken City GT happened over the weekend with some pretty sweet 40k army lists taking the top spots!
The tournament is over and now we’re able to look at which lists managed to secure a place at the top! Check out what these winners brought in their armies.
Top Warhammer 40k Army Lists: Sunken City GT
Thanks to Best Coast Pairings we are able to look back at the event as if we were there ourselves.
If you wanted to see the names and factions of the overall winners, we’ve included that below.
Also if you happened to miss it, the meta will be changing in some manner due to the new Balance Update for 40k that Games Workshop published in November.
3rd Place: Brenton Weiss – Ad Mech
2nd Place: John DeFrank – Orks
1st Place: Tom Ogden – Black Templars
Tom went for two Patrols of Black Templars, with the first led by Grimaldus and Helbrecht. Both of which are fantastic named characters, with Helbrecht being a beast in melee and offering rerolls, while Grimaldus offers up extra Litany Support as one of the best chaplains in the game.
Troops keep it simple with a 14 man Primaris Crusader Squad for extra bodies and some decent melee threats in a pinch.
Elites add in an Apothecary for healing units that get damaged during turns to keep them in action, plus a Dreadnought with an Incinerator and Gatling makes for a mobile ranged threat that can handle both armor and chaff.
Closing out the bigger detachment is a 6 man Inceptor squad for some much-needed mobility to pick off any stragglers and help get an edge in gun fights.
The smaller Patrol is led by a single Primaris Chaplain for some more great litany support as the Black Templars don’t use Psykers. Troops bring in another identical Primaris Crusader Squad for the same reason as before.
Fast Attacks bring in 3 Attack Bikes with Meltas for more mobile threats with decent ranged damage capability.
Finally, heavy support brings in the hurt with 6 Eradicators, which are arguable the best dedicated ranged anti-armor units in the game!
