Adepticon 2013 has come and gone but in the pre-Tau Empire world one 1850 list proves it’s the strongest.

First of all, a giant congratulations to Nick Nanavati for pulling off the win.  Before we get to his list take a look at the army-allies composition of the final 16 (not in order of final placement):

The Top 16- Army Breakdown

PRIMARY-ALLIES
Necrons-CSM
Necrons-CSM
Necrons-None
Necrons-None
Necrons-Grey Knights
Grey Knights-Necrons
Grey Knights-None
CSM-Necrons
CSM-None
Eldar-IG
Eldar-Dk Eldar

Tyranids-None
Tyranids-None

Chaos Daemons-None
Space Marines-Eldar
IG-Grey Knights

Interesting list – don’t you think?  There have been three 6th Edition books out, and while Chaos Marines seem to be regaining supporters fast, there was not a Dark Angels list to been seen in the top 16 and only one Daemons player (Goatboy).  There is still a giant amount of Necrons out there, testifying to the power of 5th’s last remaining codex.

The Unbeatable List – 1850pts
Now onto the championship list:  Enjoy everybody!

In general, the triple Annihilation barges, multiple Night Scythe embarked Warriors and a Lord + random accessories is the Necron force you should test against.  You see it over and over.

~So what are your thoughts on that masterpiece of list construction? Are Tau going to able to shake up the meta enough to deal with lists like that?
