October Top Tournament Results

Competition, October 31, 2018

My weekly tournament results now moves to a monthly format where I look back at how Thousand Sons have done in tournaments around the world.

How you get on this list?

I’ll be qualifying any ITC tournaments or other major events (such as LVO, Adepticon, etc) and looking at the top lists for Thousand Sons. Based on feedback I’ve received from readers, I’ll now be further filtering out lists that simply run a Thousand Sons supreme command, as it has become a popular take.

To summarize my criteria:

1. Use the core Thousand Sons army (not just a Supreme Command)
2. Win a small-mid size tournament (15+ entries) or…
3. Place in the top 10 of a large tournament (over 30 entries)

Disclaimer: I do not take the time to verify points/valid selections. I’m simply doing my best to translate what was published for their list.
