A lot of people have been making some really great focused lists using the battalions, but I haven't seen very many All Comers Lists that people can take to a tournament and do decently. So I thought Id make an attempt. This is the list I am currently developing. I feel like this will answer most things in the current meta. It doesn't use battalions so it might make some of you uncomfortable taking a 10 drop list. Its a necessary trade off in order to take what I want and be able to afford it.

Something from my Warmahordes competitive days was a checklist that I would go down when I was making serious tournament lists. Ive started applying that to AoS as well.
