This is a textbook Varan-smash list, and it looks like it does that well. The Tzeentch marks means they can dish out tons of damage without worrying too much about magical backlash, which is great since they brought the sun along. Archaon himself is here too, of course, and with him leading the charge it’s no wonder this list saw top table. Only Gotrek can match his power, and Gotrek is easy to avoid.

OK, let’s hear from you generals in the comments.
