1st Place: Liam Vsl, Chaos Space Marines Army Lists
The London GT got a healthy dose of heresy this year as a Chaos Space Marines list smashed its way to the top table. And this wasn’t just your garden-variety Traitor Legions list.
This one had Fabius Bile, a Chaos Lord swinging a daemon hammer, and Cypher doing Cypher things, probably lying and still hitting on 2s.
This warband kicked off with a Cultist Mob, the usual cannon-fodder horde. Backing them up was a tidy little squad of Legionaries dragging along a lascannon and some real melee powers.
Then came the Chosen. All ten of them, plasma pistols blazing and power fists swinging.
The Nemesis Claw joined in with a mix of accursed weapons, chainswords, and chainglaives. Then Noise Marines brought two blastmasters and a screamer pistol to the gunfight, making sure nothing in line of sight died with dignity.
For the heavy lifting, the list fielded four Obliterators split into two squads. These hulking nightmares chewed through armor like bubble wrap.
Warp Talons and Chaos Bikers handled the fast flank. The talons clawed their way in with warp-charged fury, while the bikers zipped around with plasma guns and chainswords.
Bringing some old-school armor swagger, two Chaos Predator Destructors rolled in with autocannons, lascannons, and havoc launchers.
And because every good heretical power play needs reliable transportation, there were two Chaos Rhinos. Each was fitted with havoc launchers and combi-weapons, delivering pain and driving away before the explosion.
2nd Place: Alexandre Sacco, Drukhari (Dark Eldar) Army Lists
3rd Place: Boris Michev, Emperor’s Children Army List
Final Thoughts From Us: The London GT
It looks like Chaos Space Marines stole the show at The London GT. Drukhari and Emperor’s Children are still lurking in the shadows, ready to strike back with their own dark charm. So you prefer heretical havoc, sleek brutality, or anyone else in the top 8, this tournament proved there’s plenty of room for every faction to make their mark in the ever-evolving 40k battlefield!
With the balance dataslate shifting gears for plenty of factions, it’s clear that from here, the top tables won’t be locked down to just one flavor anymore.
