Warhammer 40K: The Unbeatable List – LVO 2022 Edition
One list went all the way at the Las Vegas Open. Let’s take a look at who took home the crown – 40K’s latest Unbeatable List.
Richard Siegler has done it again – he has won LVO 2022 and the ITC with a new version of his soul-crushing Adeptus Mechanicus list. Richard beat up the new current too-good-to-be-true Adeptus Custodes to take the crown in the end. This is a tweaked list from what he took to two other GW events. But the army stays true to form – board control and bodies to wreck things.
The planes are gone and we got some no-LOS shooting to help shore up the ability to touch his enemies in a bad way. Without further ado, let’s take a look at LVO 2022’s Unbeatable List – Adeptus Mechanicus.

How the List Works
Let’s see in 40K you have to be tough and have good saves. This army can do that while putting out a punishing amount of firepower. All of these things mixed with a tireless general, and you have the formula to wreck face and win games. Good job Mr. Siegler and all the Art of War guys. Most of the team did well in the event which is a testament of the fact that playing a lot of 40K well makes you pretty dang good at the game.
Everyone give it up to Richard Siegler for his win at the biggest show around. What do you think of the list?
ALL HAIL THE OMNISSIAH!
