Age of Sigmar at the LVO 2017
Games Workshop will have a direct hand in running this event! We are extremely excited to be working with them for this AoS GT.
Come join us for the fun of Age of Sigmar at the Las vegas Open 2017! This event will be split up into two, separate events: an Age of Sigmar Tournament and Narrative Mega Battle!


Vegas is coming, Vegas is coming! Get pumped everyone, because the LVO 2017 is going to be absolutely amazing, and now we’ve got the rooms available for you to book, just follow this link! https://aws.passkey.com/g/63969536



We will be staying at the beautiful Ballys Casino on the strip in Vegas. The hotel is nice, affordable and centrally located. Staying at the event hotel makes your experience at the LVO infinitely more enjoyable as you don’t have to walk long distances with all of your gaming goodies to get to the event! Plus, you will be right in the middle of the action with all of your gamer comrades for the gaming and nighttime social events! We've got a plethora, yay, a cornucopia of gaming awesomeness planned for the convention across a spectrum of games from 40k to Warmachine and everything in between. The full schedule of events are listed here: https://lasvegasopen.squarespace.com/home-1.

The event is Feburary 3rd-5th, a Friday through Sunday. The core staff actually arrives on Wednesday to make sure everything is in order, so you may see as at the Blackjack tables Wednesday night! Come and say hi, if so.

Last year the hotel was fully booked the weekend of the event, so wait to book at your own risk. You have been warned, muahaha! In the event you do not get a room and it does fill up, there are plenty of accommodations in Vegas, but it may be a bit of a walk to get to the venue each day for you.

We are just so excited for Vegas this year, it is going to be the biggest and best year, yet! See you all there.

I am finally making my way to the LVO. My wife and I are bringing our 1000ish points of Chaos each to subjugate the narrative event.

Can't wait!

My ticket and hotel bought suckas!

This will be my 4th year in a row. Looking forward to Sunday's RTT for us losers. Great event every year. Better buy your tix quickly.

Thanks, Alan! I was just about to do that, myself.

Been so, so, so slammed, lately. I wish we had the budget to hire another full timer, we need it.

But see you all there! Going to be such a good time!

Games Workshop is coming in force, and they're going to be directly helping to run some of the events, it's been such a pleasure working with them so far on it, they are super excited to come.

Rematch incoming? Time to retain that title Sean, but this time can we need shots of sambucca during the game.

@Looking forward to having you again, Sean! Good luck, a 3-peat at the top table would be epic!

@Killswitch

We hope you can make it back to defend that title, buddy! Was a pleasure having you fellas out this year.

Age of Sigmar mega battle outselling the champs! haha, both selling well though and will sure to be a blast.

w00t! About to break through the 300 mark for 40k champs!

Don't wait to grab those tickets!

I don't need a ticket.....

How many players will there be for the 40K champs?

@Whitedragon

Thank you for being a volunteer, brotha!

@nimodo

It's a fluid situation. We opened reg early to see which of the big events would go hot so we could adjust floor-space as needed. We will at least go for 350 on the 40k champs, possibly more depending on how other events sell as we don't want any square footage to go to waste.

So, there are at least 50 more spots for the 40k champs. At the current sales rate, that equates to maybe a week or two in time.

Are there no plans for a beerhammer this year? Don't tell me I missed out?! Or am I blind?

No beer hammer at present, sorry. The TO that runs that event took a break from it.

This will be my first LVO. Has anyone put together a survival guide or have any advice?

 Crimson Devil wrote:

Two things I like to constantly remind myself while at events.

Drink plenty of water.
Be sure to sit down as much as possible during a game.

On that last one I still find myself standing during my opponent's turn when I could be sitting. Your feet and back will thank you.

Get enough rest. Don't stay up all night painting/watching Netflix/gaming/partying/etc.

I have a list of things I take to tournaments
1: Pain Meds
2: Cough Drops
3: Water Bottle
4: Toilet Paper(After the fiasco that was BAO 2014)
5: Lotsa Protection. Thats gamer girls are wild.

And as for water, that issue has been taken care of, free water for everyone!

Also, 40k Champs is approaching sold out. We've already surpassed last year's total tickets sold (over 330) and have between 11 and 61 tickets left depending on the final floor-plan.

Don't wait to grab tickets if you would like to attend!

 Crimson Devil wrote:

I cannot find it at the moment, but I wrote one up last year. Repeating hotsauce's advice and adding in:

A. Your most comfy pair of shoes
B. Pain relief for lower back and your hangover remedies (as hotSauce said)
C. The usual 40k 'musts',
1. printed (or device) rules for all your units, codexes etc.
2. Two tape measures, two sets of dice, templates, 3 to 6 objective markers, numbered 1, 2 and 3.
3. Carrying tray for your army to move from one table to another. Swipe one from a burger joint or a bed/tv tray works well too
D. DEODORANT. Bathe in the morning if you are a fragrant dude. Srsly
E. 5 or so copies of your list, and triple check its legality
F. Spending cash at the venue, for the bar and, like this year, for lunch

Things to do:
Get there early day one. People put out out their armies for paint judging (unless the timing changes, Reece can chime in on that) and take pictures. Walk around and look at stuff. Ask Qs as we, including me, like to talk about our conversions and paint. You are going to see some of the best painting at LVO.

Familiarize your self with whatever the current ITC rulings are ... Bringing a copy of them is a good idea. Reece, two more quarterly votes before February?

Write names of your opponents on your game packet, including dakka or BOLS or whatever email contacts. It is hard to remember people and networking makes the hobby fun. Just this last BAO, I got picked up and hugged (picked up because I am a little guy) by lotsa players I only see twice a year. Selfies and buddies/friends you make, too.

Get roomies and book at the hotel. It is nice to just take an elevator and walk to the venue, instead of getting up early and having to drive park, and take the really long walk from the parking structure to the venue.

Have a good attitude that for your first GT (first LVO?) you are likely to lose a lot, but you are there to have fun. That is what I tell myself, anyway.

Not that it matters, but... Greetide?

Thanks guys

Greentide is good to go, yes.

hehe Looking to take top space wolves at the tournament and in the ITC with a different type of list.

First time Going yahoo!!

Nice one! See you there.

Hey guys, coming close to the 400 player cap! 40k Champs is over 90% full!

 Reecius wrote:

Huzzah for ITC!!!

Huzzah!
Huzzah!
HUZZAH!!!

Actually, you can thank GW for that =)

But yes, Huzzah!

Down to about 10 tickets left for the 40k champs!

30k narrative sold out! Only a few spots left in the 30k champs.

Reece.. sent you a PM

Email me, please: Contact@FrontlineGaming.org

I literally never check my PMs on this site, I have like 80+ unread or something.

And to not sound like a jerk, I simply cannot keep up with all of the various communication platforms form Twitter, to Facebook to email to our blog, forums, texts, etc. It's just too much. So, I only answer emails sent via official Frontline Gaming channels to stay sane.

Thanks!

Thanks!

yeah, crazy, over 425, it's gnarly! We may actually hit 512 this year, which we thought was a few years away.

We've added Mantic Games, more 40k narrative events, and LVO schwag to the webcart! http://www.lasvegasopen.net/

See you all there.

We've added Flames of War to the lineup!

Also, if you want to play Infinity, grab tickets quickly, we're running out of space, there's less than 5 tickets left for that event.

Blows my mind the amount of people who'll be there playing 40K.
What with GWs involvement with the LVO and also GW returning Throne of Skulls to the old heats/final format here in the UK, it's got me excited about tournaments again. So good to have GW embracing the tournament community.
Keep up the good work Reecius

Went and entered what will be my first tournament in a few years off the back of all the positivity. Can't wait and hopefully I can persuade my better half a trip from the UK to Vegas in 2018 is a good idea.

Hey, thanks so much for the kind words, Bartali! Means a lot and good luck at the tournament.

Yeah, GW getting involved again is just too cool, we're pumped for it.

See you in 2018!

@Thread

Only THREE 30k champs tickets left! Be sure to grab one if you intent on playing as it will likely sell out in the next few days!

https://lasvegasopen.squarespace.com/shop/horus-heresy-30k-tournament

Annnnnnd, 30k is sold out! Nice, going to be awesome!

Infinity has only a handful of tickets left, too! Please be sure to grab those ASAP if you'd like to play!

First time heading to LVO here, a bunch of my buddies and I are meeting up for what looks like a really fun weekend. Signed up for the AoS tournament and am currently busy getting my Duradin all painted up.

Awesome! Looking forward to having you, Davout.

@Thread

30k champs just sold out at 64 players! Very excited for that, going to be awesome.

Infinity is also about to sell out, so please be sure to grab tickets if you want to attend that event!

Infinity sold out! W00t!

Is there a list of registered people for each events somewhere ?

No sir, there is not.

The West Aussies are coming! At least 2 (potentially up to 4!) of us are making the (VERY 30+hours !) long trip from Perth to Las Vegas for this event! 40k for me, 30k for my one confirmed and booked mate. Going to be a freaking epic gaming week for us!

My buddy even has his birthday on day 1 of LVO!

So pumped!

Wow that is awesome! Can't wait to have you guys!

Find me when you guys are at the event, I'll buy you fellas a beet to say thanks for coming all that long way.

So, a lot of folks have been asking if we have room in the 40k champs, and we do! GW asked us to expand and so we upped the number of players and are currently sitting at over 440 registered, but have room for a few more. If you want to go, please register sooner than later! Thanks,

Reece

https://lasvegasopen.squarespace.com/shop/ggm92ans2yamr00q5z9dw5kharxh8e

OK, so the 40k champs is about to sell out...again! After GW asked us to up the cap, we are very pleased to say we're approaching 500, lol, so crazy!

But, that means we're also down about 30 tickets left!

30k champs is down to the teens, less than 20 left (approaching 100!)

40k Friendly has 4 spots left.

40k Apoc has 6 spots left.

AoS Champs has 10 spots left (also approaching 100!).

See you all there, going to be truly epic!

Thank you, sir! Going to be epic.

Deleted.

Make sure to grab your hotel room, soon if you have not done so! After December, our room rate will not be held any longer and prices may go up. Also, the hotel is likely to fill up as it is Super Bowl weekend.

So please don't wait on those hotel rooms.

I guess Beerhammer is back on the docket?

Any clue if there will there be any tables available on the 2nd for practice/meetup games?

Reece, with attendance practically doubling, was there any consideration to expanding the qualifying player pool from 8 to16?

Logistically, it's one more game you would need to fit in and that game could have potentially kicked off after round 6 on Saturday night at 7:30.

I'm sure it's easier said than done but just thought to ask considering the surge in attendance and the chance for more players to earn glory.

I wouldn't think those qualifying players would mind playing an additional game, just food for thought for 2018.

Best

@Count Cyrus

The 2nd we will be running around like mad men and women setting everything up, so unfortunately no, no gaming that day. At least, not in the main halls.

@NotThisTime

We'd love to do that but the problem is that it takes 4 rounds of play to resolve a sweet 16 down to a single champion. If 40k didn't take so long to play a game as it does now, we could totally do that but at present with essentially 3 hour rounds and a deadline to close shop on Sunday it isn't practical.

We ran only 5 rounds way back when for the main group of players but a lot of folks felt like they wanted to play that 6th round, so we gave everyone what they asked for =)

If we get an edition role-over and the game speeds up in play (a man can dream, right?!) then yeah, we are 100% open to the idea.

*cough*lower points*cough*

I will be there. AoS here i come!

Unfortunately the ITC crowd voted not once, but twice to not change the points levels.

I personally would love to see points at 2000 or more, or at least a format that supports that size games =). I think it would be interesting to see if data shows what armies/types of armies have trouble finishing games and so on... And if such data exists, maybe someone can point me to it.

that would be interesting, but what decisions could that inform? It might suggest capping a ceiling on psychic dice, which some tournaments have experimented with, or capping model count which is common in Kill Team tournaments. But every new army construction restriction risks excluding really cool collections.

Maybe the ITC electorate would support new construction rules aimed at match completion, but the past two votes on points suggest the majority value bringing cool stuff over finishing games.

Well, my average model count in my armies tends to be around 40 and I tend to play fast...

Some players just take too long to make their decisions and it doesn't help that some of them play armies that just have a lot of models. I think some form of chess clock feature in an event might be helpful for some players to see where they are taking too long and to collect data.

I mean, sometimes I take a long time to make decisions if there are some huge decisions to consider but then there are games where I literally take 10 minutes to do all my turns and my game barely gets to turn 4 and it's miserable =(.

People want their points...and to complain about games not finishing, haha.

But yeah, all the data indicates our players want more points, not less even though the data also shows us 1650pt games finish far more frequently.

See you all there! Whew, only a month to go! Coming up soon.

I'm surprised the detachment limit stuck. The game is going towards all these weird micro-factions, etc... and three formations is TOUGH to do when attempting to justify some of them...

... IE making room for the MANDATORY Culexus.

Yeah, me too, actually. But hey, gamers can be resistant to change.

40k Apoc just sold out! Don't wait to grab those tickets.

Got screwed by my staffing coordinator and work 2 days that weekend. Transferring the ticket to someone else wish I could go.

Sorry you can't make it, buddy =(

I just played in a local 2 day GT for AoS and managed to finish all of them in the 2.5 hr limit.

We had a skaven and goblin player and didnt have any issues with slow play.

Hoping for the same results in Vegas.

Where was this? Always on the hunt for AoS events

Game Kastle Winter War in San Jose. May be a trip for you but winter war at 55* vs 5* in midwest ☺

Winter is relative here...

AoS warscrolls all have to have a points profile, correct?

Just making sure.

No Facebook

Then I would suggest contacting them via email. I wouldn't count on any official answers coming through Forums in a timely manner.

They need points, yes.

Saw 1 or 2 on Swap Forum. FYI. Reece can I get my wife a entry pass so she can come and go? She's not playing and it will keep me from being a neglectful man boy....

This looks awesome! Do they sell out every year? I cant go this year, never gone, but would love to! Wondering if theyll have it next year again?

When will streams start?

So stoked about this year!

I'm not in any events, but I might use the free play area for a pick up game of some kind.

Mostly I'm excited to check out the vendors. Can't wait to see what Forge World brings!

To get ready:

a. Listen to Reece (in a sleep deprived state of bitching and complaining ) & Frankie talk about what to do:

http://hwcdn.libsyn.com/p/b/a/b/babe800e9576506a/Signals_audio_504.mp3?c_id=14034556&expiration=1485839502&hwt=dc1ab2822176dd0182c5fe8f8c8f5093


b. Download the BestCoastPairings app. It is used for submitting scores and getting your next match up, opponent's list, etc.

I used it to keep tabs on Carmona's Ease Into GT.

b. Make Excel spread sheet for my army list, and printing it in large font so the BCP picture looks good, on One Page.

c. Pack chapstick and lotion.

d. get cash for ForgeWorld and other vendor goodness.

e. aspirin

f. super glue
#gravityhappens

g. FAQs asked and answered (screen shots) for your army's more shenanigan oriented rules ... like corsairs. Have printed rules, or if asked from the (now closed) FaceBook ITC judging crew's thread, have the screen shot (I do!).

h. comfy shoes

i. 99 cent timer (for Battle Co, Demi-Co and Eldar/Spider heavy lists).

I used to play Spider & Jetbike goofery, so I know. If you bring one of these, play it well, and be mindful of time for you and your opponent.



- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Actual game stuff:
1. Two tape measures
2. templates (hellstorm & Apoc sized for those Skathaches)
3. Carry tray
4. That one paper copy for the ludite players out there. Like Allan Hernandez.

5. Know that the Fall of Cadia, Celestine and GW FAQ (released last week) are no good, at least Reece begs so at minute 21. (don't take this last for granted, read the ITC FAQ for yourself)


Lastly, though you've been shocked by the new executive administrations actions, be more prepared to be more shocked that I will Win It All. Nick, who? Hayden, huh?

Just out of sheer curiosity, has the AoS entries sold out or we didn't pass the 100 participants treshold?

Las Vegas is really, really dry. Protect your skin. It's the only one you have. Unless you're a crazy murderer.

@thread
I am super stoked about BestCoastPairings app giving me the oportunity to scope my opponents' lists.

Hi everyone,

Looking forward to being at LVO. Have the Ork Train packed up. Looking forward to humbly showing it to the group on Saturday night.

(If you want to read about packing the Ork Train - here you go! Working on making it easier (to pack) than when we took it to Reno this summer.)

http://battlegaming1.blogspot.com/2017/02/taking-ork-train-to-las-vegas-open-lvo.html)

Thanks

Does anyone have a link to live-streams, or a streaming schedule?

Good luck! Take pictures and post them so that we can live vicariously through ya'll.

Thanks man! It was cathartic as hell to see Orks doing well at a major!

So crushed I'm missing this. Hope everyone has an amazing time. The Warmachine tables are stunning.

Are they selling the Forgeworld Grak and Crumbleberry figures for Blood Bowl at this event? I've been on the lookout for a set and it seems a few US based scalpers are starting to post the figure for sale on ebay from Las Vegas. Does anyone know the actual buy price?

I had a fantastic time. Prolly best was not going 30 feet anywhere without a hollered greeting coming my way, receiving lots of bear huggs (thanks to James Carmona for not breaking my ribs), and good cheer all around.

I met more people, more new opponents (all pretty good guys, if one was a bit slow on cranking out Magnus's powers. ), and the wives/GFs are showing up to balance out the sausage fest that these things used to be.

That makes the whole thing aesthetically nicer.

The meta has become brutal.

FLG continues to shine well and produce a great experience, tables, terrain, judging, player packets, and accommodations.

The Best Coast App is really useful and I look forward to using it during events continuously.

Prices at Bally's? Ooof.

I did take 2nd place in BeerHammer.

One thing is missing. No one had a decent, pertinent or amusing quote to add to my sig.

So who makes those smaller artillery pieces Brett and a few other renegade players were using?

Can we get AoS lists at some point?

I've been debating on starting up this list as well. Would love some inspiration of conversions or other execution of the army.

Does anyone know who won? I can't find it published anywhere. What about details of the final matches? I watched a bit of the semifinals on twitch but would like to hear some details about the games themselves. Exaltation and thanks for any who can inform me

Brett Perkins won LVO.
Matt Root won ITC.

I'm guessing we'll get a further breakdown for all other factions for the season later this week after FLG finishes recuperating.

B. Perkins vs. B. Grant for final round.

Have you guys looked at Best Coast Pairings?

I have made my best showing in a tournament ever this LVO with a 3/2/1. Compared to BAO with 3/3.
Had alot of fun, saw some amazing armies, bought too many models then I should. Ate some great food(im gonna miss Sbarro, not one around me sadly) and even enjoyed breaking down the Con joking and laughing with some Volunteers and just generally having a good time.
the BCP is amazing.......when it works. I signed up the night before, but a 1/2 hour into the first round, I had no opponent, I was just randomly paired

Pictures? Anyone ?

All over the internet. Primarily 40k personalities Facebook pages, the FLG website, and blogs.

Are they selling the Forgeworld Grak and Crumbleberry figures for Blood Bowl at this event? I've been on the lookout for a set and it seems a few US based scalpers are starting to post the figure for sale on ebay from Las Vegas. Does anyone know the actual buy price?

They were. They even tried to limit it to one per person. But someone ended up selling 9 to 1 person and that opened the floodgates. They were all sold out by the second day.

As far as price goes, I ordered a set and a Zug as well. The total came to $67.05 USD using their 1.65 catalog exchange rate. If you can price out Zug from that, you should be able to figure out how much Grak and Crumbleberry are.
