Blood Angels Snag 1st In The Toronto Winter Open: Top 3 40k Army Lists
Thanks to Best Coast Pairings, we can look back at the event as if we were all there ourselves. You can check out the details here.
Note: This event DID use the new 2023 Chapter Approved Arks of Omen!
3rd Place: Sebastian Marengo – Necrons
2nd Place: Tim Deetlefs – Adeptus Custodes
1st Place: Sam Procopio – Blood Angels
Starting things off strong, Sam’s Battalion of Blood Angels was led by a Chapter Master for re-rolls and a Sanguinary priest to pair up with some Guard later in the list.
Troops bring in 10 Infiltrators and five Incursors for some solid bodies that help fill out requirements.
The bulk of the list and apparent strategy is in elites, however! Starting with three Aggressors to help clear chaff with their great ranged weapons, followed by five Death Company Marines as some all-out melee glass cannons that move fast thanks to the jump packs.
The next big chunk is 18 Sanguinary Guard for mobile all-in-one threats that can do great in melee and ranged combat while running up the board! The last elite is five Scouts from some cheap mobile bodies to help round the list out a bit more.
Fast Attacks add in even more mobility with five jump pack Assault Marines, five Inceptors, and three Outriders, all of which have the purpose of being exactly where help is needed helping turn firefights around the board ever so slightly in your favor to hopefully inch out advantages!
Heavy Support then brings in three Eradicators for anti-armor shots, and there is a single Storm Speeder squeezed in, getting the list to the perfect 2k cap.
