list of the best in faction. Predictably the codex factions did really well, though nothing can stop AM which is scary because they are bound to get even better with codex.

Also what are some of the other lists, b.c i have an idea that there are other lists that can beat the Conscripts and wanted to see if others are trying them.
Also as a SoB and Harlequins player im curious to what they did.

Soup more commonly known as Imperial Soup or Chaos Soup is blending a bunch of indexes and codices together to make an almighty army from all the strongest units.
Top placing was Conscripts, Celestine, Elysians, etc. All the really powerful stuff right now. The list is floating around online, it's nothing that surprising. Certainly crafted well with some meta adjustments (two Commissars, Snipers) but not reinventing the wheel.

I was there in the GT, 4-4 with Astra Militarum superheavy tank company.
If anyone has questions, let me know.
There is a bit of an issue in that people were allowed to pick whatever faction they wanted when signing in, so some people picked what they wanted to identify with, others picked what their most expensive detachment was, still others picked what faction their warlord was from, etc.
Best example is the winning list: It's Imperial Soup. The most expensive detachments AM, I believe, but it also included Guilliman among other things. It definitely was not pure AM, most of those got pushed out before the finals.

Orks had a list that finished 9th; otherwise the top 10 is littered with Imperial/Chaos Soup armies largely favoring Elysians, Conscripts, Cultists, and aura-Special Character spam.
I genuinely had to do an internet search for 'Asuryani', what is it with the proliferation of weird names!
Nice to see Orks middle of the pack, however there are a lot of kunning and passionate Ork players out there so they may be punching above their weight in the overall standings.

Oh well. I remember it because both sides had Guilliman and I made a hilarious joke about which one was the impostor.
Maybe I thought it was the finals but it was really just some random game because of the Warhammer TV fanfare.
Must be, because according to the app round 4 was the winning Imperial Soup vs Chaos Soup and another pair of 2 Chaos Soup lists.

Pfft I don't care! All I know is I was RIGHT the entire time on how Arkos interacted with Alpha Legion and the Alpha Legion/CSM tactics threads telling me otherwise.
