1st Place: Randy Brigham, T’au Empire Army Lists
The Tau Empire’s clean lines, shiny battlesuits, and coordinated drone strikes took a break at the Ragnarök GT. Instead, the table belonged to the feral side of the Greater Good. Martyn’s Kroot-led warband showed up with pelts, claws, and just enough firepower to make it stick.
This wasn’t your standard high-tech Tau list. This was meat, grit, and talons. Six characters, all Kroot, Flesh Shapers, Lone-spears, a Trail Shaper, and a War Shaper brought command and chaos. Buffs flew, shots were fired, and anyone hoping for a quiet flank got mauled by a war-painted alien with a bone knife.
The backbone? Carnivores. So many Carnivores. Two full blocks of 20, plus four units of 10, made sure objectives stayed contested and everything was within stabbing range at all times.
With Kroot rifles, close combat weapons, and a few sneaky tanglebombs, they outnumbered, outmaneuvered, and occasionally just outlasted whatever stood in their way.
Two squads of Farstalkers brought a bit of marksmanship and some Kroot Hounds for extra teeth. Speaking of teeth, three separate Kroot Hound units were on the prowl, racing across the board to cause problems and chase down soft targets.
Then came the heavy hitters. Krootox Rampagers showed up in triplicate, with fists, javelins, and a lot of attitude. These things don’t tiptoe, they charge, smash, and keep moving. Alongside them, three units of Krootox Riders brought repeater cannons to soften up targets before the brawl.
2nd Place: Kyle Trayah, Thousand Sons Army Lists
3rd Place: Matt Stadnik, Imperial Agents (Deathwatch) Army Lists
Final Thoughts From Us:
Turns out, the Ragnarök GT wasn’t just a name, it was a full-blown warzone with Kroot, sorcerers, and sneaky agents all fighting for bragging rights. T’au Empire went wild with their feral cousins, Thousand Sons proved that dust still packs a punch, and Imperial Agents reminded everyone not to sleep on Deathwatch tricks.
If you’re planning to play in the next big tournament or just looking to spice up your games at home, take a page from these winners and remember: every unit counts, and sometimes, all you need is a good plan and a whole lot of models.
