With a swagger from their last game against the Adeptus Custodes, the Court of Miracles is back to face Winters SEO. He's not messing around this time - the new Tryanids codex has unleashed the kaiju army list of the Crusher Stampede!

This one's free to watch on YouTube:

It's a similar list to last time (there's only so many ways you can rehash 'lots of Rubricae'), but I dropped Magnus (since I'm already assured how good he is), in favour of test-driving a couple of Daemon Princes. And with the big boss out of the way, Ahriman felt secure enough to take command.

The Mutaliths are a staple, and I increased the number of Scarab Occult Terminators to 10 (a brutal unit in 9th, so let's see how they do in 10th).
