Brumbaer - Stephan
Viper isn't registered at taccom, gazrak is, but not active and Iron Duke is not very active.
We do not have anything comparable to Epic-UK and the web community is not tournament oriented.
I'm not aware that there are any army-list discussions or lists used at tournaments on the web.
There is a German Tournament organization side that ranks the players and our 4 players are in the top 5 places for Epic. But he German tournament scene is much much smaller and less competitive than the UK scene. I'd say Iron Duke is the one player to be able to hold his own in the Epic UK league. Largo_W may be an other one - he is lower ranked in that list, but mostly because you have to participate regularly to keep your rank.
What I usually choose when playing SMs, might be at the Austrian website or probably even somewhere here or on Epic-UK. But my typical SM, Imperial and Eldar lists are all quite different from the other players' lists, so I wouldn't say there is a typical German list anyway. What you would not find in the past are Drop/Thunderhawk lists.
But I wouldn't rely too much on typical. Typical is something that is created by knowing what will work against the opponents in your gaming circle and a kind of understanding what not to take to not annoy your opponent in
every game.
But this time the opponents are new, we do not really know what to prepare for and if there are any taboos (but I have the impression there aren't). So we will most likely end with lists that are not typical and hopefully hold their own against the wider spectrum of opponents.
If not we will take it like real men. That means we will blame the dice, density or lack of terrain, referees, the moon phase and of course the beardy army lists of our opponents.
Looking forward to seeing you.
