Antipodean7 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Heat 2 Results The top 3 were: Martin Morrin - Nurgle Mike Callaghan - Stormcast (the Les Martin TM build) Gary Percival - KO Interesting to see no Changehosts, or Fyreslayers at the event. Copies of the top 3 lists, the full results and pictures of the painting nominations are also here: https://aosshorts.com/age-of-sigmar-grand-tournament-heat-2-lists-and-results/ Danny Cashman swept all but one of the painting and sportsmanship awards.

Freejack02 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Thanks for posting this! I figured Nurgle would start placing very high, but I'm surprised to still see a plain Stardrake list doing so well! Any information on how the top 20 or so fleshed out?

Broken Netcode Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 A mate of mine placed 9th. Will try to see if I can get his Nurgle list out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chikout Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Would love to see the Archaon lists. I already have him, a Gaunt summoner and some skyfires. Have I accidentally stumbled into the new meta? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have I accidentally stumbled into the new meta? A recent meta shift with Archaon is including 2 Juggernaunts of Khorne. Archaon with his command ability lets them use their command ability, which in turn will make his Slayer of Kings on 4+'s instead of 6+'s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheap, fast, summonable battleline. At 60 points for the unit they really are a very powerful list building tool for those reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are mobile(ish) and extremely efficient on a point per wound basis. They can screen effectively and are battleline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they are practically the same profile as black knights for exactly half the points, and as they are 2 wounds each for 60pts they are better than 10 skeletons at 80pts and have a better move stat. Pts for pts best unit in the book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enoby Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Interesting to see that Slaanesh was picked relatively often, considering it doesn't have a battletome. Hope to find out how well they did! Thanks for the write up, Antipodean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuneBrush Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Not sure the Destruction total is entirely accurate - 1 + 2 + 5 = 8 Really nice to see that the Legions of Nagash book has really boosted the number of Death armies being run (though a bit crazy that most are being run as Grand Host). A lot more Kharadron than I was expecting too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ar-Pharazôn Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Well, we can already see the 2018 battletomes are competing with previous winning lists, which is good for the meta and army diversity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just need to not being put against hardcounters (like a tzeentch changehost or skryre) Is skryre a hard counter to nurgle? I suppose a mortal nurle list (such as a plagetouched warband) but I thought a nurgle demon list would be really strong against them! As a mortal nurgle player... Im terrified of facing skryre. Chnagehost is simply a smile and nod (dog in burning pub sort of expression) and wait for the imminent result. One a general note.. the player who placed first with that Nurgle list must be a GREAT tactician or several units I thought were bad/extremely points inefficient are the opposite because I cant re-call any Nurgle list that has sniffed the top of competetive events using Lord of afflictions and nurglings.
