The poll will run for seven days. You can change your vote if you make a mistake.  If you wish to say who you voted for, this is okay.  Note though that voting is anonymous, so unless you say who you voted for nobody can find out.  The results of the poll will only be displayed after the voting time has expired, as it helps to build the suspense and to stop people voting based on how others vote.

A reminder of the rules of the competition can be found here.

Good luck to all the participants :).

Was a tough choice between two for me, both of which seemed like great lists.

I felt there were 3 lists standing out, but I finally voted for the most optimised one. :)

Well - I didn't submit a list this time lol, but, one player basically made the exact list I wanted to, so they took my vote  8)
So, what your saying is it's not your fault you look stupid by using words you don't get?
Flawless logic.

Getting ready for the start of school this year has taken up all my list-building time the last couple weeks, so no submission this time. I did have a couple ideas but no time to refine and post them.
I see a few lists I'd love to try out, so I voted for one that seems different and fun.

Congrats Volatilegaz. Definitely a formidable list. I plan on playing a 2000 point version of that next time I get challenged by my local store's resident cheese king.

Blimey. I thought one of the da heavy lists would take it. Maybe I benefitted from the split vote.
Some great lists, guys. Which makes the victory all the sweeter!

The two I liked best were Volatilegaz's list and Fenris' list.

Quite a few people in this competition noticed that DAs are actually priced appropriately in PL even if they aren't in points, and ran DA-based mech lists. Fenris' seems very close to optimal, with lots of small squads of DAs with kitted-out exarchs, exactly filling 3 Wave Serpents with an AT-ish loadout and very good HQs (including an Ynnarri HQ) to buff them up. It's a very fun list making use of a unit that, in points-cost play, is not very effective.

Volatilegaz' list is a lot less interesting in comparison, in that it is also a good list in points values. Mechanized Wraithguard, 2 squads with D-scythes, 1 with Wraithcannons, a Hemlock, and Yvraine. You could easily see this in a tournament. However, I think the list is very tight and would be highly effective. Wraithguard are excellent, Serpents are excellent, Hemlock and Yvraine are both great.

This. I tried at first to make a DA list, but couldn't get it to work well. I voted for fenris because he succeeded where I failed.

Thanks, Blazinghand & volatilegaz for the honorable mention. I actually worked the numbers a bit and wrote down points cost comparred to PL costs, and DA are clearly much cheaper in PL costs comparred to anything else CWE. Vaul's wrath battery was the runner up for this, but those artillery are just way overcosted in points anyway. Wraithguard/blades, Reapers and Serpents(upgraded) also placed well in this category.

Anyway congrats volatilegaz for winning this round :D
I voted for magenb's list, but I was close to pick either Tweedz's or haunt's list instead.

I was trying to balance and have enough firepower to take out anything.
