Top 40k Army Lists Frontline Gaming Atlantic City Open
Thanks to Best Coast Pairings we are able to look back at the event as if we were there ourselves.
3rd Place: Thomas Ogden – Dark Angels
1st Place: Brad Chester- Drukhari
Coming in with an undefeated 9-o run, this list is definitely something for all the DE players to take a look at. With Succubi being quite powerful now, it makes sense to take them in your HQ slots.
Especially with the Glave Exquisite and a blast pistol, for the points, it’s a hard HQ choice for Drukhari to beat. Next, Wracks are a tough unit that can sit on objectives very well when compared to other DE units. Lastly, the Grotesques fill out the list, and they can just wreck house.
This is a similar configuration to the first patrol detachment, but this time Incubi take the elite spot over the Grotesques. One thing to note that has changed for most DE lists, Raiders are now primarily taking Dark Lances over Disintegrators. Lastly, the Triptych Whip is another great relic to give to your Succubus.
Rounding out the army is another detachment run by a Succubus. This time though, Wyches grab the troop spots, with 2 having the 2x random drug, with every drug being fairly useful, this is a great way to go with your Wyches. The real highlight here though, Hellions! After years in the dumpster, the skyboard crazies are finally getting their time in the sun. With them, the Wyches, and the Incubi, this detachment has some serious close combat power.
Congrats to Brad on the undefeated run and the Drukhari victory!
