1st Place: Trae Burnett, Chaos Space Marines Army Lists
Chaos took the crown at the CollectorMania GT, where the Heretic Astartes claimed victory through a mix of firepower, corruption, and pure attitude.
At the head stood Cypher, the mysterious gunslinger whose plasma pistols never seem to miss. Acting as Warlord, he led the force with his usual flair for chaos and deception.
Beside him, a Chaos Lord wielded a Daemon hammer and plasma pistol, bringing raw fury to the front lines. Fabius Bile worked his dark science behind them, stitching together new horrors and “enhancing” the Legionaries with his experiments.
Vashtorr the Arkifane rounded out the pantheon, his claw and hammer pulsing with the twisted genius of the machine god.
A Cultist Mob served as a meat shield and a distraction for the real killers behind them.
Legionaries advanced with bolters, chainswords, and lascannons, cutting down anything in their way. Chaos Rhinos carried the squads into battle, their havoc launchers firing into the smoke-filled chaos.
Predator Destructors and Chaos Bikers brought speed and firepower, laying waste to anything foolish enough to move in the open.
The Chosen struck with terrifying precision, their accursed weapons tearing through elites and armor alike.
Behind them, the Obliterators morphed their fleshmetal guns into whatever death was required, blasting holes through tanks and infantry without hesitation. And finally, the Noise Marines hit the field with their sonic blasters, turning every battle into a cacophony of weaponized music.

As we can tell from CollectorMania GT, it’s clear that the 40k meta is still as unpredictable as ever.
