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.
Tyranids still Dominate at The Newcastle GT: Top 40k Army Lists
Thanks to Best Coast Pairings we can look back at the event as if we were all there ourselves. You can check out the event details here.
If you wanted to see the names and factions of the overall winners, we’ve included that below.
3rd Place: Kyle Grundy – Tau
2nd Place: Mani Cheema – Eldar
1st Place: Innes Wilson – Tyranids
Innes’ winning Tyranids list was a two detachment approach with the first being a patrol led by a Neurothrope and a Hive Tyrant. The Neurothrope offers a cheap-ish psyker and the Hive Tyrant is a fantastic stat-stick model with the extra benefit of having a re-roll ability to help out friendly units.
Troops bring in 6 Warriors, which are solid bodies that can be on the front line and tank some shots or deal some damage. Elites bring in 6 Pyrovores, 5 Tyrant Guard, and 3 Zoanthropes. The Pyrovores serve as some cheap models that can explode for mortal wounds, while the Zoanthropes offer up even more psykers on the list. The Tyrant Guard are more elite foot-slogging bodies that can deal heavy damage in melee.
Fast Attacks bring in the Parasite of Mortrex, which pumps out mortal wounds and can deep strike in. There are also 2 Harpys as a mobile flying threat to deal some chip damage every turn. One Biovore helps out by throwing mines all over the battlefield and a Tyrannocyte is the only transport Tyranids can take.
The Second and final detachment is a patrol led by a Winged Hive Tyrant, which is just like the previous one except it has wings and can fly around the board more easily.
There are also 3 more Venomthropes and another Pyrovore. Finally closing out the list is a 10-man Gargoyle unit, which are very cheap models that simply help fill out the slot requirement.
