The tournament is over, and now we can look at which lists managed to secure a place at the top! Check out what these winners brought into their armies.

Another week, another tournament dominated by Eldar, so instead, we’ll cover the top 3 non-Eldar lists!
7th Place: Nicolas Wenker – Chaos Daemons
6th Place: Chase Chappell – Chaos Daemons
4th Place: Richard Kilton – Adeptus Custodes
Richards Custodes did pretty well led by Trajann as a great named character, a shield-captain for re-rolls, and a blade champion for a great melee threat with precision when he needs it.
Jumping straight into other sheets, two Caladius tanks help with some pretty good armor ranged threats, while three units of Wardens provide some super solid elite bodies that can mitigate damage. Most factions have difficulty matching up against their toughness and built-in buffs like -1 to wound, 4+ once per game feel no pain, or -1 to hit in assault.
Then with allied units, two Assassins bring in some pretty solid specialized threats to help take out some particularly pesky models (or stratagems) that the enemy might be bringing in.
Finally, there are two Extractions squads because it’s simply too hard to meet their extremely low price and efficiency for elite factions like Custodes!
