Goatboy here to talk about the unbeatable winning list from the GW NOLA Open.
I got to play in GW’s fantastic NOLS Open this weekend. You saw my list and I will go over how it went for me (overall good – but we all need to practice more) later on. I did get to the top cut but lost out with my bane of getting boxed in the corner and a mission wanting you to hold more than one objective.
Anyway – the winner is the one and only Richard Siegler playing the pretty bonkers Ad Mech list with some flyers, hard to kill Rangers, and close combat option with the Rust Stalkers. With two events it won by Mr. Siegler it is pretty obvious the army is pretty bonkers. I think Richard would win with a wet sock at this point – but this list just amps it up as he crushed thru Brad “Unicorn King and one of my Favorite People” Chester and his Dark Eldar.

Why It Works
So yeah – this has a pretty unkillable murder unit, a lot of fast options, a powerful close combat set of bricks, MSU to hold objectives, and deep strike bits. Oh and 4 flyers that you can stop coming to find you and murder you. Mix this all with one of the best players of the game and you have the super combo of death. I think the lack of interaction the army enforces is something GW needs to look into – but until then I expect amazing players to murder things as they flap around the board and control the interactions.
Good job Mr. Siegler – you bring a lot to the game with being a nice player as well as a good player. And good job to a ton of other people. I hung out with a lot of friends at the event and saw people I dearly missed this last year. These events and just hanging out shooting the crap about Warhammer is how we all stay kicking. Congrats to the always fabulous Mr. Mark Perry for doing well with Orks as well.
I am pretty happy to see myself getting into the final cut with the only Grey Knight army. Who would of thought that 6 Baby Carriers would carry me to the finals. Thanks again to those who I played – big props to Hunter and Cameron for bringing some Marines and kicking my butt with with them (Wolves and Iron Hands). I am so excited to play the Austin event as it is in my hometown.
~Congrats to Richard, and what do you think about the Ad Mech List?
