Thank you for the answer! So I'll keep with Bladed Cog. I knew all the tactics you mentioned, but I have not much practical experience with it, glad to see that all works as it should, I'll try and let you know!

Does anyone know if theres a video about John Lennons game in Super Secret GT or any interviews on how he played it.

He has a podcast and touches on it in episode 3. https://youtu.be/KTd1I5FP2Q0. Later he took GSC to nova and did well also, talks a bit about that on best in factions nova Roundup episode.

Looks like a mostly standard 20 Aberrant list tbh, the small variations don't change how the list plays.

Similar list or no, the faction is so deep that it’s always good to listen to top players describe what they personally do. I just found out Nick Nanavati only holds one of his Abberant squads in reserve every single game and plays grounded with the other one. Just listening never hurts

I agree and i'm not saying he shouldn't look at how people play their lists, my point is that the list is not special and any advise on playing a double Aberrant list should be applicable.

Yes there are many ways to play the same GSC list because its such a dynamic army and that's why I love playing it.
I think I've seen Nick play with both squads in reserve in the past and 1 squad on the table more recently, I assume its an adaptation to opponents learning to spread out on the board more to push back deepstrikes, which you can capitalise on with a unit on the table, if he comes to close you get to charge. And Aberrants are survivable enough to take some pot shots, which Acolytes can't.

You partially touched on one of his partial reasons for doing, but overall that's not really it, I'd explain more, but he talks about it on an episode locked behind the (very cheap) subscription to his Patreon and I don't feel right just sharing that info out in public as a result. But it's another good example of why listening to top players is a great way to build a knowledge bank! You don't have to do it their way but it's always good to see their thinking on a topic, and it's not always something that may have occurred to you as the obvious reason for a decision
