Come see the top finisher for what may be the last major tournament of 7th Edition 40k and the other fifteen army lists that made it to the top!
THE RESULTS ARE IN, and Nick Nanavati has won Adepticon once again with Daemons!
Checkout the list that took Nick to the Top 16 (placing 9th) and then the overall champion on day 2. (courtesy of Hellfire Painting🙂
So looks Nick ran like a double screamerstar this time with Fateweaver and Bel’akor with a health dose of Heralds to keep it real. Pundits of a need for 8th edition will of course bemoan the use of a Imperial Inquisitor with servo skulls to keep infiltrating and scouting armies from bringing the fight to the flying daemons too early
And if that name and army list seems familiar, it’s because Nick was the first Adepticon THREE PEAT champ back in 2015:
‘Change We Can Believe in’
- Fateweaver
- 2x Heralds of Tzeentch Level 3 Discs, and Exalted Reward.
- 2x Herald of Nurgle Level 2, (one locus of Fecundity)
- 10 Pink Horrors
- 11 Pink Horrors
- 2x 8 Screamers
- 8 Plague Drones with Venom Sting, and Champion with a Greater Reward.
And the results from Day one that set up the Top 16 generals from the Championship:
