Every week there are tournaments where the best of the best Warhammer 40k players battle it out with the very best armies with the very best winning lists they can muster. Whether you’re a new player just picking up the hobby or a grizzled veteran staying on top of which army is dominating the meta can be difficult. That’s why each week we provide a roundup of the Winning Lists from each major tournament. Today, we’re covering the Battle to End Alzheimer’s Winning lists.
Wargaming for good can take many forms. In this case Thousands were raised for Alzheimer’s, in Maryland. Of course, you can do good and beat peoples faces in with the meanest winning list you can take for a competitive event as well. What could very well be the last pre-Balance Dataslate Major event, Harlequins once again top the Warhammer 40k Winning Lists.

Battle to End Alzheimer’s 2nd place Mate Csaszar – Harlequins
Congratulations on going undefeated and pulling out a 2nd place list. The original list was somewhat off. For Example the bonus Warlord trait on the Shadowseer. There was a stratagem used on the Death Jester to gain a Warlord trait but a trait wasn’t assigned there as well. Even if Mate Csazar suffered a yellow card and 20 point penalty in round 1, he still would have won that game. If pairings stayed random during this event, that would have had no effect on the pairings.
However by not following the Code of Conduct, Mate Csazar did come out ahead of 3rd place by just 6 points. However, that’s more on the Judges than the player. That being said, playing with a 20 point lead could have forced him to play differently. Perhaps his opponents could have forced the issue but that would take away from the Good the event was going for. Regardless, congratulations.

3rd place Matt Lorah – Ulthwe
Awesome job going 5-0 this weekend and making the podium. This double Patrol gives up 2 Command Points in order to take a 4th Fast attack unit. Otherwise a single Battalion would have worked. One quick note on the Warlock Skyrunner, it does not take up a Force Org Slot.
Eldrad is great to have as a warlord with reliable casting, and Strands of Fate manipulation, and built in toughness. This list rolls for 7 Fate Dice, can reroll one of those dice and keep 5 of them. The unit sizes are helpful for doing actions regardless Aeldari have plenty of dakka and melee to do what they want.
The key is getting there and doing it. Which it very well can do with bonus movement, replacement effects, and forward deploying snipers. In case you have to snipe an annoying Shadowseer. The Swooping Hawks are also a bit tougher with a 5+++ ability to ignore damage. Again, great list and congratulations.
