Top ITC Tournament Lists for October 2017

Blood of Kittens attempts to provide continuous coverage of ITC events, in posts showcasing the Top 3 army lists from the largest events.

This particular post chronicles the large events for October 2017.

8th edition is a land of changes, so with every new month comes new codexes, FAQs, and rules. Whenever you look at an army list keep in mind how quickly the game shifts. In other words a legal army list today may be illegal tomorrow, combined with events using special rules and restrictions.  

October looked to be a busy month, but many events fell short of GT status, the month was headlined by the SoCal Open which saw a top illegal list mar an otherwise great event.
