This coming week sees an especially exciting tournament coming up – the LGT. As TheChirurgeon already covered in his metagame analysis article, this represents the last “grand slam” of the summer, and is also the last huge event prior to the possible metagame upheavals represented by the September FAQ and the Psychic Awakening. It’s also the first super-major event with the new Space Marines codex in play, giving Adeptus Astartes fans a tonne of new toys and rules to play with. Hefty nerfs to the Caladius also landed just in time for the rules cutoff, throwing another curveball into the mix, as losing the option of the Caladius spearhead is a substantial hit to Imperium.

Will one of the established metagame giants take the crown (because let me tell you they’re all out in force) or will some sort of glorious new Space Marine concoction crush all opposition? There should be extensive coverage of the event, so tune in from Friday to find out.

Since the “three cool lists” format was so popular last time we’re doing that again – for your entertainment I’ve skimmed through as much of the list doc as possible and picked out three unusual builds that caught my eye. We’ll have a quick look at my army first, then dive into the others see what makes them tick.

My List

The first thing to say, for anyone who didn’t catch our Facebook post, is that I’ll actually be running this in two events – the main LGT and the LGT invitational. We’ve already thanked our readers a few times in the last week, but I’d like to thank everyone who follows these and promotes our stuff again – building our profile opens up opportunities like this, and I’m looking forward to going out there and doing my best to make Goonhammer proud.

Anyway – last time you heard from me I was wavering between two lists – my London Open list or a modified version with Yvraine. After consultation with our strategy brain trust, I’ve ended up going with the Yvraine option, ending up with the following:
