Warhammer 40K: the Unbeatable List – Adepticon 2024: T’au Kroot Suit-A-Geddon Wins it All!
The 40K champ is here and the new boogie man of the competitive scene has reared its head. Take a look at Adepticon 2024’s winner!
First, let me say that the winner of the event is a good friend of mine Brandon Vallee. Brandon has been around the scene as long as I can remember and we have played on the same team, against each other, and just have been friends for a heck of a long time. I am so happy he won a big event – especially with his extremely awesome converted T’au Empire Kroot suit army. I am sure you have seen it on WarGamesLive stream a few times and if you look stillfrosty_gaming on Instagram you will find pics of it (some seen below). It is a rad army and a great example of an excellent Counts-As masterpiece.
Here is the list. It is a pretty good set up of T’au nonsense with suits, vehicles, and tons of shooting. It is going to shift obviously with the new book and the changes to Crisis suits – but it sure looks like it should work out pretty well. He is going to have to break off a few weapons here and there and maybe bring some actual Kroot units to the game now.

How The Unbeatable List Works
As you can see, the Unbeatable List it is set up to take on most things, have a lot of movement, and put out a ton of damage as needed. It has bodies to get in the way of opponents. It’s got vehicles that are fast and a pain to quickly remove. Congratulations to Brandon for winning Adepticon 2024 and kicking butt with a beautiful army. It is great to see some Hobby muscle win in the end. I know his crazy display board will be shown off during the team event!
Everyone give it up for Brandon – a victory well earned!
