Meet the Team

Nick Nanavati

Factions: Aeldari, Chaos, Space Wolves, Tyranids, Orks, Adepta Sororitas

I’ve been playing 40k for 15 years, and I’ve seen success on the competitive circuit for about a decade now. Some of my more noteworthy accomplishments are winning the ITC circuit in 2018, 4x winner of Adepticon. 2x winner of the NOVA invitational, 2x ETC winner, 1x LVO champ, and ATC winner.

I’ve been coaching pro 40k for about two years now and in that time I’ve helped tons of clients reach high levels of success, including winning multiple GT’s and majors. I’m very familiar with a multitude of different formats and metas, including ITC, NOVA, ETC, and the European meta as a whole. I’m also well versed in team tournaments as I’ve been on the USA/England ETC team for 7 years straight as well, as being the captain of the Beast Coast ATC team.

Over the years I’ve collected many armies, Chaos, Eldar, Tyranids/GSC, Orks, and Space Marines most notably. I’m well versed in every army, and can help coach and design lists for all factions, however we all have our specialties. I prefer to design more “toolbox”, balanced lists with lots of nuances to explore as opposed to bringing brute force to the table, as I find this helps give the consistency to chase the highly coveted title of undefeated at events. I want my list to be able to compete against anyone, and then to rely on my skill in game to carry me to the win, and this is the mantra I try to teach to my students.

Richard Siegler

Factions: T'au Empire, Admech, Necrons, Grey Knights, Votann

is best known for his incredible 2019 ITC season—his first ever—in which he won the entire ITC after claiming victory at LVO, NOVA, the 10k Pro Tabletop event, and Warzone Atlanta among other tournaments. These championships also spurred Richard into Team USA for the World Team Championships. Pioneering that season with the T’au Empire and later “Broviathan” Iron Hands, Richard’s playstyle centers on durability, midfield board control, and overlapping synergies.

Slow and steady wins the race for Richard as his patient, methodical play offers him a certain comfort playing from behind and under high pressure situations. If you prefer precision movement armies that focus on minimizing losses and trading efficiently, Richard is the coach for you. While best known for his victories with the T’au Empire, Richard also enjoys teaching Necrons, the Adeptus Mechanicus, Grey Knights, Blood Angels, and the Adeptus Custodes.

John Lennon

Factions: Imperium, Tyranids, Genestealer Cults

has quickly risen to be one of the leading lights and best players in the competitive circuit. Captaining team Brohammer to a Cinderella season in 2019, John achieved third in the overall ITC circuit, Best in Faction Space Marines and a top 8 at the LVO, alongside several ITC Major triumphs. An architect of some of the hardest hitting and most consistent lists in 8th edition, John is a superb list designer, engineering them to focus on minimizing risks while playing the mission. John’s playstyle is equal measure aggression and conservative play, but it is his decision-making process on when to commit to a direction that he truly shines among his peers.

As a coach, John prioritizes game knowledge, rules combinations and synergies that are reliable, with an emphasis on movement and close combat tricks. There’s a reason heroic interventions have become almost synonymous with his name. While best known for his play with Space Marines in 8th and 9th edition, John is a true believer in the four-armed emperor at heart and has won several ITC Majors and GTs with Tyranids and Genestealer Cults, including a Best in Faction Tyranids in 2018. He also enjoys the combat prowess and finesse of Slaanesh daemons and Harlequins. If you are looking to raise your game to the next level and dive into the details of competitive 40k, John is the coach for you!

Jack Harpster

Factions: Imperium, Chaos, Aeldari, Orks

is a longtime veteran of the 40k competitive scene and reigning 2023 ITC Champion. He was an original member of the Beast Coast “super-team” and long-time practice partner of our very own Nick Nanavati. 

Never one to overlook armies with untapped potential, Jack has a reputation as an list builder who favors the offbeat and the unorthodox over the tried and true cookie cutter lists. Jack has made his mark with off-meta armies. Uninterested in inconsistent strategies, Jack avoids lists that rely on going either first or second as well as lists that have any particularly bad matchups. His playstyle avoids wild aggression in favor of constant pressure to take board control and restrict his opponent’s options.

As a coach, Jack places a focus on improving consistency and in improving the ability to dominate both the macro and micro strategy. A noted player of a variety of factions, Jack knows the Imperium of Man inside and out, excelling with armies such as the Adepta Sororitas, Space Marines, Adeptus Custodes and the Astra Militarum. However strong his loyalty to the emperor is though, he has also won events with the forces of chaos and has an in-depth knowledge of the superfaction. If you are looking to learn how to consistently win games of 40k with an innovation unique style, Jack is the coach for you.

Moreover, his corpus of rules knowledge is one of the best in the game, as represented by his assistance with the WTC FAQs and erratas. If you are into nuanced, odd, and janky combination and tricks, be sure to sign up for Matt’s coaching!

Alexander Englezos

Factions: Admech, Salamanders, Tyranids, Death Guard, Orks

Alex has been playing 40k only since the end of 8th, experiencing the huge highs and lows of how a meta works, by having their sparring partner play ironhands during their peak. From this early point, he had a passion for having underperforming armies find hidden gems to help them combat the meta armies and even the playing field. Hailing from Australia, yet being the #1 Ranked Admech player in the world + last years #2 ranked Salamanders player in the world, being the winner of NSW Masters and recently going 500/500 battle points and coming first at a NSW Australian Major.

 

The factions Alex plays hover between metas in the opposite way, with him usually trying to breathe light into the underperforming factions. Alex owns Admech, Salamanders, Tyranids, Death Guard and Orks. He like organising lists with simplistic designs and allowing for ease of piloting use, especially for the more complex factions.

 

As a Coach, Alex loves designing lists based on specific terrain formats and finding out the best methods for success through list design. He feel there are 2 key things to look at when designing the perfect list. 1. The terrain formats. And 2. The Secondaries the list can score at a list design perspective. 

From there as a coach he will showcase the best methods for ensuring that the terrain is used to its best advantage, and that the list has high scoring potential, and when combined with strategic faction coaching, this is a recipe for success.
