Derek Apsche took house the gold on the Lone Star Open 2024. Right here’s his Warhammer 40K listing that went all the way in which!
Goatboy right here with the listing that received LSO 2024 this yr. We noticed a substantial amount of gamers on the Lone Star Open, and the winner, Derek Apsche, took the highest prize, knocking out everybody. His listing confirmed up at Cherokee and it continues to indicate how a military that may “management” the board house and block your opponent can simply win video games in 40K tenth Version. What we’ve here’s a CSM Cultist spam military and good job on Derek for utilizing a “subpar” detachment – and rocking with it!
Whereas the Accursed Cultists did take a success within the new codex – they positive appeared to have much more buddies to mess with. If I bear in mind accurately, one of many Accursed blobs are in reserves – prepared to come back out with Speedy Ingress to trigger some points in a nasty place for the opponent. Blended with so many our bodies on the bottom and so many items to chew by means of it will get actually arduous for any military to effectively “take away” sufficient threats to construct some board house. I’m positive there’s a military on the market designed to throw sufficient harm into these items – however all of those Cultist guys are simply arduous to chew by means of in time.
Take a look at the listing and see what you suppose.

Chaos Cultist Techniques
The large rule the Chaos Cult has, is the power to go a Darkish Pact and achieve +2″ to their transfer attribute and +2″ to their cost. This lets these blobs of Chaos idiots transfer quick throughout the desk. You combine within the Accursed items having their 6″ scout transfer, the power to Howling Horde transfer if shot at, after which simply having a 6+ FNP with 5+ invulnerable save. Sure, the unit can’t regenerate like they used to (properly, one unit can with the relic). However, they’ll transfer extraordinarily quick. You’ve gotten a Stratagem for an advance and cost so with the Darkish Pact addition to motion, a Scout transfer, an Advance, after which a Cost you possibly can see the way you simply can’t escape these jerks. Heck, with one coming from Speedy Ingress and having a +2 to their cost, it will get arduous to dig your self out of this mess of mutant Chaos rabble.
It’s a fairly superior listing if you concentrate on it and whereas it isn’t capturing you, it’s simply oppressive to see it shimmy throughout the desk at you. The ultimate spherical had this military dealing with Daemons and since that is simply stuffed with “low-cost” jerks that may gum up the desk, maintain goals simply, and simply be a problem to chew by means of with Daemon assaults, you possibly can see how it could be an uphill battle for that military.
What About ME – on the LSO 2024?
I had loads of enjoyable, performed some nice opponents and acquired beat by the ever-lovely Clifton Russel with one other horde Dreadmob military you would possibly see me write about sooner or later. That’s an insane lis,t and may need achieved properly towards this mutant horde – however we didn’t get to see that match up. Nice job to all of the winners, and simply wanting on the Prime-8 you see a crap ton of innovation to their armies. The Prime 8 had just one duplicate military – Orks – they usually have been very completely different lists. Proper now might be essentially the most fascinating the tenth Version 40K meta has been shortly – with the tactical card draw altering issues in addition to the sensation the armies are to not removed from one another.
So give it up for Derek, on a properly deserved victory, and have enjoyable on the market on the tabletop everybody!
