Best in Faction (CSM) at the World's Largest 40k Tournament - Hurons Marauders at LGT 2026
Huron's has Marauders very quickly become my favourite way to play CSM in 11th. It just feels so much more 'modern' than some of the other detachment. Its got speed, utility damage and enough tricks to be a really fun all around list. It does encourage a very infantry heavy approach, but the CSM tanks and daemon engines feel very outdated and expensive compared to the competition. Playing PBZ Predators v DA Land Speeders and comparing the damage, speed and durability and reliability of the two wasn't great fun! A Defiler is still good in some lists but everything else (including 2nd Defiler) just feels bit overpriced compared to meta in general and going 'tall' into armies that felt like they have infinite damage didn't feel a good call. Going wider - with lots of semi tough units that are cheap and mildly annoying to kill felt better than investing in fewer tougher units that just seem to die anyway. This leads you pretty quickly to Bile or Huron's Mara...
