3rd Place: John Oates – Dark Angels
2nd Place: Paul O’Boyle – Black Templars
1st Place: Robert Percival – Death Guard
Robert’s list was led by a Putrifier for Lethal hits and free Grenades, Chaos Lord for re-rolls, Blightspawn for fighting first and a great flamer, a Lord of Contagion for some great melee support, Mortarion as easily the single best model in the faction, and a Tallyman for extra CP.
Typhus for an excellent melee threat and buffing the durability of the unit he leads. Two units of Plague Marines bring in some standard bodies that will be buffed up thanks to the suite of HQs on the list.
Two Death Guard Rhinos offer some cheap transportation options to help in the early turns. A unit of Cultists help with some cheap wound soakers, while a Predator Destructor brings in some surprisingly efficient ranged armor support.
Deathshroud Terminators bring in some highly durable melee threats to pair up with Typhus. In contrast, Poxwalkers offer a few more cheap wound-soaking chaff. Lastly, a unit of Nurglings is allied in for the last bit of points to squeeze out more of the wound-soaking potential.
There you have it: the top Warhammer 40k army lists from the Throne of Skulls were ruled by Death Guard, Black Templars, and Dark Angels. Robert‘s Death Guard army came out on top thanks to its focus on efficiency and durability across the board.
