Subject: Jy2 Brings Necrons to the Las Vegas Open (LVO) GT - (Army Pics/Game Links on p.1, Doubles on p.9)
Game #2 vs Lyzz's Herald-hammer Daemons. For those of you who haven't heard of Lyzz, she is the 1st girl ever to have won a major GT - the Bay Area Open GT 2013.
Game #3 vs Dan's tournament-winning White Scars Space Marines. Dan was the person who won the Feast of Blades Open 2013.
2 more games tomorrow and if I can manage to win those, I will make it to the Elite 8 competing for the Championship on Sunday.
I was thinking about bringing my Tyranids, but because I didn't have all the models I wanted to bring yet, I opted to sit them out this tournament. In any case, here I wanted to bring my best army, which would be my Necrons.
Ok, I'm going to start off with the appetizers - pics of the other armies in the tournament.
If anyone here recognizes whose army belongs to whom, go ahead and give them a shout-out.
CHAOS:
Spoiler:
Now that's scary....
That's some frickin' nice Chaos Spawns.
ELDAR:
Spoiler:
You're going to see wave serpents and wraithknights as a common Eldar theme. Eldar was the most successful army at the LVO.
Alex Fennell's, the LVO Champion and winner, Seer Council Eldar/Dark Eldar. He ran the Seer Council with mechdar.
Eldau. Just an awesome conversion job on his riptide.
Grant Theft Auto's Seer Council Deldar. Grant did very well and would finish the tourney 4-1.
Nick Rose (aka Darkwynn) and his beautiful pure Eldar. Nick made it to Day #3 and the Top 8.
Adam Tricola's (aka Xaereth) Beaststar Deldar. Adam made it to the Top 4!
Another Beaststar army, his wraithknight was just gorgeous.
Alex also made it to Day #3 with his beautiful Eldar/White Scars army.
Blackmoor's Game #1 opponent - Pinkdar!
IMPERIAL GUARDS:
Spoiler:
IG with....Blood Angels? Forgeworld units include a Vulture and some Sabre Gun Platforms.
I'm not quite sure what that thing is....but it's freaking awesome! IG with Forgeworld.
My friend Bill (aka Panzer1944) and his massive IG collection. BTW, I get to play against that next week!
MARINE ARMIES:
Spoiler:
Definitely the most successful of the Marine armies at the LVO - the White Scars. Hotsauceman1's White Scars was probably the only biker army there painted as actual White Scars. Lol.
My roommate for the trip and eventual LVO Runner-up, Eric Hoerger (aka Creepycrawly) and his White Scars.
John (aka Zeztuku) and his LED White Scars/Space Wolves army. John's from my area. LED lights from Powerplayed Gaming.
White Scars + Tau! What a brutal combo.
Proof that Dark Angels were there.
I see Centurions!
TAU:
Spoiler:
Justin Cook's (aka Thanatos67) tournament-winning O'vesa-star. For those who don't know, Justin won the NovaOpen 2013 with his Tau/Tau army.
Very pretty....and only 1 riptide!
Spam Adams and his beautiful Triptide Tau.
More Centurion sightings!
The killer Orca from Israel's Tau. Israel is a very good player as well as painter! He finished the tournament 4-1 and his army also won Best Painted! BTW, Israel is one of the commission painters for Frontline Gaming.
TYRANIDS:
Spoiler:
Jay Woodcock's Tyranids. Jay and his bugs performed admirably, ending up in the Top 50.
Chuck's bugs! Whoa....no flyrants?!? Chuck's from my area.
OTHERS:
Spoiler:
1 of 2 NecrOrk armies (I played against the other one).
One of the few ork armies.
Hello St. Kitty!
MISCELLANEOUS:
Spoiler:
One of the vendors and some of his commission works.
A masterpiece of terrain that those lucky Warmachine players get to play on.

Day #1 just over and had 3 great games.
Game #1 vs Necrons + Orks.
Game #2 vs Lyzz's Herald-hammer Daemons. For those of you who haven't heard of Lyzz, she is the 1st girl ever to have won a major GT - the Bay Area Open GT 2013.
Game #3 vs Dan's tournament-winning White Scars Space Marines. Dan was the person who won the Feast of Blades Open 2013.

Wish me luck guys. I'm gonna need it.
More updates coming later.
It sounds like you have been able to avoid the tau and eldar so far. That will be the true test. Kind of bummed that you gave up on the nids though. If you have to win your next 2 then it sounds like you might have taken a loss already. Will be interesting to see the report as I think games 1 through 3 are favorable match ups depending on ahs your list is. Can you post it?
TK - 2012 40K GT Record 18-5
4th in 2nd bracket Feast of Blades 2012 (IG/SoB); 4th Overall Midwest Massacre (IG/SW); 5th Overall Indy Open (IG); Final 16 Adepticon Open (IG)
TK - 2013 40K GT Record 24-4
Best General Indy Open (Crons/CSM)
Top 5! Bugeater GT (TauDar)
Final 4 Nova Invitational (Eldau)
Best Overall Midwest Massacre (Crons/CSM)
Dude....it's just before the tourney now and I' m already f-cked up due to alcohol. My first opponent is a mirror- match against another wraith wing Necron player. May the dude with the most wraiths win. haha....j.k.!

Nope didn't give up on the bugs. It's just that they weren't ready model-wise.
However, you will most likely see them at Adepticon.

Btw, when should we expect to see bat-reps from your games?
Most definitely! That's what this thread is for.

I hear this every time on the second day of a GT. Nicely done! May your mind be clear and may you make tactically good decisions, and may your wraiths roll inexplicably well! I'm rooting for the Nid players though!

Spoiler for you BatRep readers, but according to Torrent of Fire...
Spoiler:
Jy2 won all of his first 4 games! A very impressive feat, good luck on #5! (which has probably already happened, but I hope he did well)
ToF is updated in near-real time since they use it for pairings. Round 5 is in progress now. Prolly 2 hours more until we know who made the championships. Goatboy, darkwynn, and Thanatos all lost round 4. Jy2 and xaereth are the only undefeated players I recognize going into round 5. Eric Hoerger too I played him in the top row at daboyz, but idk if he posts on Dakka.
I was wondering how the imperial guard were in the top 2 at the moment. The answer is 9 quad launchers and a bunch of sabre platforms. Also, the old triple vendetta standby.
Figuring out the wounds from those quad launchers would be annoying. I've been using 2 and it takes a while.

good luck Jy2, wraithwing again? and lucky not facing tau or eldar...
You have ruled this galaxy for ten thousand years
Yet have little of account to show for your efforts
Order. Unity. Obedience.
We taught the galaxy these things
And we shall do so again.
