Hi. Do anybody have any GSC list that works currently?

Works for what? Take all Comers? Anti-Meta? Take and Hold? Conquest? Narrative?

Actually, I scanned for about 10 minutes at work this morning, and I can't find a single list. I'm not saying they are dead, but very few people are running them pure at competitive levels. They are the Dan Hibiki of 40k. You CAN win, you just have to be REALLY good.

GSC came second, although its getting some time ago.

Standard characters, 120 Acolytes all with hand flamers and 24 saws/cutters. And 3 sentinels.

Unfortunately hand flamers have since gone up a point, so you'd have to shave off 120 points somewhere, but the principle would be the same.

GSC had good numbers in GW's number crunch (se beow.)

However they have zero action on this forum. People over at the hive have throwed everything and the kitchentable on the pile in an atemt to find a good list and nobody has any good results.

I have tryed supposed good lists (not the one above though as I do not proxy models.) And it is really difficult to get any tractions. I always play orks, maiby that is my problem.

What I am really looking for is just to get some tractions that do not crumble like a wet sandwitch castle.

I'm not sure what that graphic is supposed to be good for. There have been ZERO major official tournaments out there since Covid started, so 9th is basically a crap shoot right now on faction strength. The META is currently "sel-reported" majors. I feel there are many TiWP wins where the matches we like what happened in Florida, where 1 guy held a tournament with 7 friends, and that was somehow a countable contest of Faction strength.

I wouldn't trust any GT results until at least 1 year post COVID.

If you are trying to get competitive info, I might suggest Youtube or Patreon pages of top players who do indepth reviews.

Auspex Tactics
Tabletop Titans (Actually one of the rules writers)


also I would not suggest GSC. They are the Chittari of 40k. They have a few big scary units, but they are mostly there as fodder.

I have looked into those 3 sources. Not suggesting GSC does not help as it is the opposet of what I am looking for.

I remember a pure GSC list placed in an event back in October. Link

The basic skeleton is a fairly mechanized list with the standard 4-Armed Emperor melee detachment and a more unusual mixed creed detachment (Rusted Claw for Drive-by Demolitions and Hivecult for vehicle support).

I do think that is probably one of the largest hurdles facing the army at the moment from a data collection and playability standpoint. The current rules strongly encourage leaning into the army's mechanized elements and punish ambush-heavy play. Unfortunately, most competitive lists in 8th (and 7th for that matter) tended to forgo vehicles entirely, so I imagine most people probably shelved their armies in hopes that the 9th edition codex will make ambushing viable again rather than spend money and time redesigning their armies from the ground up.

Wife doesn't play them competitively, but she rarely loses with them for just Sat day games.

Brings plenty of bodies for objectives and 3 ridges with the sniper chick.

Big Plays: Usually DS Max squad of Acolyte flamers and 10 Aberrants. That'll usually clear w.e threats and make the opponent focus on those while she continues scoring.

Nothing crazy or different. Nothing insanely fine tuned... but it works. Heck she'll even bring a russ or 2. Just dont have bodies out in the open to be bolter spammed. GSC have to be played right, but if they are they do pretty well.
