Age of Sigmar: List of the Week – Heavy Metal

Order was doing too well, I suppose; Chaos called in the boss.

Welcome in, Generals of the Realms! Taking a cure from Thanos, Archaon’s response to consistent Order top tables seems to be, “Fine, I’ll do it myself”. Roast marshmallows over your flaming swords and check out the list below, brought to us by BCP.

The Most Winning Faction: This chart represents the primary faction identified by players who are winning events. This gives a global view of what is potent and winning games out there in the competitive scene:

July 17th, 2022:
1: Stormcast Eternals
2: Nighthaunt
3: Sylvaneth
4: Daughters of Khaine
5: Maggotkin of Nurgle
6: Seraphon
7: Idoneth Deepkin
8: Soulblight Gravelords

10: Fyreslayers

July 10th, 2022:
1: Nighthaunt
2: Soulblight Gravelords
3: Maggotkin of Nurgle
4: Stormcast Eternals
5: Skaven
6: Daughters of Khaine
7: Idoneth Deepkin
8: Flesh-Eater Courts
9: Sylvaneth
10: Slaves to Darkness

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.
