1st Place: Jack Tite, Sisters of Battle (Adepta Sororitas) Army Lists
Faith burned bright at the Coventry GT as the Adepta Sororitas claimed first place, proving that faith, fire, and fury still rule the tabletop. This list didn’t rely on luck or gimmicks. It was discipline, precision, and pure devotion made flesh.
Aestred Thurga and Agathae Dolan led the charge, relics in hand and scripture ready. Their presence bolstered the faithful, their words fueling the flame of belief. The Canoness followed close behind, swinging her hallowed chainsword and firing her inferno pistol with the confidence of a saint.
The Dialogus carried the hymns of war, amplifying the zeal of nearby squads. Overseeing it all, Morvenn Vahl, High Lord of Terra and Warlord of the army, brought divine authority to the field. Her Lance of Illumination struck down foes with blinding light, while her missile launcher silenced anything that dared resist.
Two Immolators roared forward, their multi-meltas cutting through armor with ease.
Rhinos transported squads into position, hunter-killer missiles streaking skyward. Behind them, twin Castigators provided steady fire, autocannons and heavy bolters sweeping away enemy lines.
Dominion Squads burst from their transports, meltaguns blazing, banners high, and faith unshaken.
Paragon Warsuits followed, multi-meltas glowing as they carved through armor and flesh alike. Next, Retributor Squads brought overwhelming firepower, their multi-meltas turning fortifications and monsters into smoking wrecks.
Behind them marched the Sanctifiers, a holy mix of missionaries, assassins, and flamethrower-wielding zealots who left nothing unpurged.
2nd Place: Scott Morris, Tyranids Army Lists
3rd Place: David Gaylard, Space Marines (Raven Guard) Army Lists
Final Thoughts From Us: The Coventry 3-Day
The Sisters of Battle may have taken the crown with their fiery fervor. But the Tyranids are surely plotting their next surprise invasion, and the Raven Guard lurk in the shadows, ready to swoop in and capitalize on any misstep.
As we can tell from The Coventry GT 3-Day Tournament, it’s clear that the 40k meta is as unpredictable as ever.
