The competitive tournament armies


Someone asked what the competitive builds in tournaments are right now.

So off of the top of my head in alphabetical order (Note: Some are better than others):

Hard to say because the codex is still to new. My guesses:

Mech armies with razorbacks and Predators

Land Raiders+ Terminators

Assault troops


 

Chaos Demons:

Skittles (cherry picking the best units out of all of the Gods)

Armies based around Bloodcrushers

Armies based around Fateweaver


 

Chaos Space Marines

Plague Marines + Obliterators


 

Demonhunters

3 Land Raiders+Terminators


 

Dark Eldar

Way too early to know

  1. Hiya Blackmoor,

    I can't disagree more about Daemons; while Fatecrusher can be a dangerous build, it's not the most efficient against the most armies - something that's important for tournaments.

    I think armies built around Beasts, Fiends in particular and Seekers as an option, are going to eventually take over the top spot in many people's mind.

    Of course, I'm biases since I call my army Bolt'n'Beast!

    Goatboy has an interesting list with two units of Fiends and one unit of Crushers (to act as anchor).

    Anyway, that's just my 2-cents!

  2. I am curious what your space marine general with no signature list is as I am trying to decide where to take my Crimson Fists next now that the bikes are taking a well earned rest
