Mancrusher Gargant x3
Mancrusher Mob
Kraken-eater Mega-Gargant
Mancrusher Gargant x3

A huge two-gargant shell with enough Mancrushers to keep pressure on every part of the table. It is the kind of Sons of Behemat list that forces the opponent to solve multiple giant problems at once.

Damage package

• Pyregheists x5.

This list has a very clean competitive shape: long-range threat, deep utility, and multiple elite melee pieces for trading and pressure.

• Scourge of Ghyran Kairic Acolytes x2.

It is a very Tzeentchian list: strong magic, awkward board control, and enough shooting to punish opponents who give it breathing room.

Closing thoughts

Clermont Ferrand was not a one-list event. The top end mixed monster mash, ethereal pressure, elite shooting, and aggressive melee armies, which gives the weekend a well-rounded competitive feel. The fact that the entire top six finished on four wins also suggests that the event was tightly fought from start to finish.
