Northern Utah

1 Mech Tau

2 Grey Knights (Daemon Hunters)

3 Chaos slaneesh

Well after facing some tough lists, the Templars reigned supreme. The top 3 players from Sci-Fi City in Orlando, FL first round are:

1st: Erich Schoenholtz - Black Templars
2nd: James Prestidge - Eldar
3rd: Players name unknown - Tyranids

I didn't catch the Tyranid player's name. So if anyone has that info that would helpful. I am bad with names. I do know that he is from out of town though.

At the end of the day I ended up with 69 battle points and over 13,000 VPs.

This was out of 18 players

Capt K

Wow, I'd love to see that grey knights list.

Rochester was
1st-Iron Warriors
2nd-Iron Warriors
3rd-Tyranids
4th(Technically tied for 3rd) Me with Iron Warriors

Out of 15.

I'll post it in the list section when I get more time. I should have had first place but I flubberred two full round of roles completely and when I went to sweep advance three different units rolled all 1's.

Wow. You just missed that 3rd slot. Tough break man. That sucks.

This is a summary of qualifiers from several tournaments.  A lot of the usual suspects made it to the regionals. 

1. Greg Sparks (me)
2. Bill Kill - Centurian99
3. Mike Mutscheller
4. Peter Elias (the Equalizer)
5. Brad Chester
6. Jeff Chua
7. Hank Edley 
8. Chris Merschedt

Others that I know of include the following:

1. Jon Willingham
2. Jeff McConnell 
3. Brian Huttenga  
4. Paul Steiner 

The cool thing is that three out of four members of Casus Belli are in and all of 2 Oblit 2 Quit 2.  Go, go AdeptiCon teams. 

Yup. Both our teams proved we gots mad skillz!...lol.

Capt K

First round is always easiest. The 2nd and 3rd are going to be brutal.

yeah, because the stores with the crap players get eaten by the guys from the really nasty competitive places

Game Empire Pasadena:

Out of 14 players

1st- Thousand Sons 2-0-1
2nd Place-Eldar Go me! 2-0-1
3rd place- Godzilla Nids

After 2 massacres I fought the Thousand Sons player on a city fight table. I never saw so many cover saves made, and I barely was able to eek out a tie. Glad that I will never see that army again.

I came in 4th place by... 1 point. ARRRGH. Seattle competition.

Southeast Houston at Skirmish Games

1) Vanilla Marines (me) 3-0-0
2) Space Wolves 3-0-0
3) Necrons 2-0-1

There were 18 armies, but suprisingly no Godzilla Nids or Mech Eldar. I'm sure the competition willl increase at the next event.

geez... you guys might as well not even go to the regional. save someone the time of having to wipe the floor with you.

Nice coment Blackheart. BTW, how did you do ?

Darrian

Drop Zone in Charlotte NC

1. Guard (conscript list) me

2. Lysander list

3. Dark Eldar

I never want to move that many models ever again without a six pack with me.

Showcase Comics in Media, PA.

1. Godzilla Nids plus  huge horde of guants - Mike Ludwig

2. IG armored company - Tony Spino

3. Frank Osborn

Only the bonus points separated first and second place. Those little niggling bonuses add up in the end.

Three more weeks and we do it again, for the Regionals.

Capt K

Yeah...I know...What is really bad is that my second game, I had a minor victory, but I missed a major victory by 2 victory points...

It looks like nearly all the armies have some form of representation, although Chaos seems to be on the heavy side. Only Orks have yet to be named (unless I missed it).

-Jmz

Id just like to add that anyone and their brother can 'qualify'. There was an 'Ard Boyz tournament in Roseville CA that had 4 people, go figure...I wouldnt put too much stock into any of this until the regionals, and then I expect a general repeat of the GT results.

The Game Castle in Londenderry, NH

1. Imperial Guard

2. Dead tie Ravenwing and Space marines

3. Eldar

My Ravenwing did good until the last round. damn corner deployment vs Guard.

Huzzah!

Congrats to Schoenholtz. I'd love to see this guy's list.

At Games Plus in Illinois:

1. Fred Fortman (Marines)
2. Jeff Chua (Godzilla)
3. Tyler Cooley (Lost and the Damned)

40% of the lists were Godzilla. Do we have a specific semi-final location or can we choose the semi-final location we want to go to? I see the Ohio boyz are all splitting up their semi-final location. We figure we'll flood one of their locations and take someone out before the finals. ;-)

Gamestation in keizer OR:

1st: foot slogging orks

2nd: dark eldar

3rd: witchhunters

 

 

 

 

 

LOL j/k Was mech eldar nidzilla then mech tau.  Did anyone buy that list tho? har.

I agree with Blackheart above. If you know you obviously won with a weak/er list, don't bother going out of your way when regionals hit. Save yourself the time of traveling there. Doesn't matter how Blackheart placed. We all know 'nilla marines are out.

However, I will say that if you won with a weaker list you should still go as a spoiler army. Take the metagame into account and screw the eldar/nids from winning. That'd be easier with Necrons who could generate lots of glancing 6s, though.

Really, was this comment productive?  I'm one of the local godzilla players, and the local Mech Eldar and Tau players played at another store, but we face off regularly so it's not like I'm unfamiliar with the lists and their difficulty.

I was surprised to see the Space Wolves Player come in 2nd, but the necron player is using almost a carbon copy of the max destroyers/max immortals/min warriors list posted on dakka which can be pretty good if played well.

Daydream

i got the wrong opponents for the wrong missions on the wrong tables and the dice were ice but squeaked into third

Well I figured I'll post our results
Hobby Town USA in Plano Texas:
1st Foot slogging Orks 3-0-0
2nd Chaos 2-1-0
3rd 3 monolith Necrons 2-1-0

Yay for triple post

Indianapolis:

1st: Eldar (me) 60pts
2nd: Imperial Fists 40pts
3rd: Eldar 36pts


From some of the above comments obviously there are people here who don't play on GT and other circuits. You can't discount any army here with some of these missions played.

In round two when you could bring troops on from a board edge of your choice (and started in reserve) even bolters could glance Eldar skimmers and those Nid lists were much easier to take down with no little bugs in the first turn.

'Ardboyz is a lot about objectives and reacting to situations you would not normally encounter. Good players who are comfortable with thier armies are going to do well. I know in some of these areas nidzilla and mech eldar have gone down to armies that "shouldn't win" due to luck, missions, and poor planning by good players.

And if you are a big talker show us you were number one in your area and tell us your battle points.
