I'm really wondering how DW is going to do next round. It seems like they placed in nearly all the tournaments they were present at. I guess the codex is still viable.

Paradox Comics-n-Cards in Fargo

1st - Vanilla Biker Marines
2nd - Mixed Eldar
3rd - Space Wolves (Stelek's list) played by me.

Extended write-up of my games here: http://rkik.wordpress.com/2011/08/15/weekend-gaming-ard-boyz-and-more/

Looking forward to playing in Minneapolis for the semis.

The codex is viable via Deathwing (maybe some Ravenwing).
The problem is the rest of the Codex suffers greatly with LD9 Librarians with junk powers, and overcosted transports.

I will however be taking my DW to the next round.

Standish, ME

1st: BA (me)
2nd: Eldar
3rd: SW

So the orks had the most VP and got actual third?

just saw this thread, don't think i saw a results post for Little Wars, in Baton Rouge, LA

1. Blood Angels
2. Chaos
3. Dark Eldar (Dash of Pepper)

pretre wrote:So the orks had the most VP and got actual third?

Yes and no, my friend who was running it did not read the packet and so they did not track VP all day. So he went to the next most indiscriminate thing he could, ala, strength of schedule. So orks had the harder opponents all day and got to move on.

Jupiter games vestal ny

1 Black Templar(me) 45
2 Blood Angels 44
3 Dark Eldar 35

After scoring a massacre on the first mission i went on to fight chaos marines in the second round and pulled off a minor victory by literally a 1/4 inch. the final round i faced off against the blood angels and after 5 rounds of fighting we ended up drawing with the difference of 10pts in victory points 1290 -1300 i believe.

Not sure if posted,

Games of Berkeley, Berkeley CA

1st Blood angels (mostly foot) with about 59 points

2nd Guard Vendetta list, not sure on total points

3rd Grey Knights (mostly terminators/Paladins with Stormravens, Deathcult Assassins and psyrifle dreads providing support)

___

4th place: Tyranids (list uncertain)

tied 5th (33 points)
Dark Eldar (me) mixed close combat and shooting, mechanized w/ 3x bombers)
Tau Empire (my last opponent) 3 MSU Firewarrior teams, Oshava w/ bodyguard, broadsides, and snipers. Ridiculously annoying list, he lost 3-4 wounds out of those bodyguards all tournament and no whole models.

Interesting looking at the California Lists; especially since all of us will be playing at one of two sites.

My son and I went to Art of War gaming in Cincinnati for the HB tourney. We were speed bumps as out of 8 players we placed 7th and 8th. We have been playing only a year and IMO 2.5 hours for 2500 points of ORKS = 3 turns each game. I won ( barely ) against the Grey Knights and lost so bad VRS Demons. Since I have never played a Demon army when the guy gave me his list I told him it could be in Russian as it means nothing to me.

My son did very poor with his Dark Angels. As I played him in the last game and he dumped a landraider full of Veterans against a total of 22 nobs I can see how that happened.

The winners of our tourney were Blood Angels With Demons second. The Grey Knights I beat came in third. What I likes most about the games were except for the GK every army was painted well.

Team zero comp swept it, with all three of us present going on to the next round.

I had planned on taking footdar and then my forward scouts told me to expect at least two triple manticore leaf blower lists with hellhouns support and that just didn't sound fun, so I took the boys in black.

You guys are just lucky I had to work...

Yeah, got a Malware alert when I tried going to his page...

While the rules do state that stuff can be undpainted I think in general at least 75% of most armies will be fully painted. I know everyone except a GK player at my event had a fully painted army and the GK player was just missing a couple things.

Painted models fight better.

Site got hacked on Friday, but I got the junk off there within a few hours, updated the site security, software versions, passwords, etc. It'll probably take another week before it gets de-listed from automated browser security warnings (Google warnings, Firefox plug-ins, etc).

Not sure if posted, didnt see it...

The Battle Standard , Manchester Ct.
Good turn out.

1st Blood Angels, lots of Termies & scouts
2nd Space Wolves , 2 WL on T-wolfs, 4 more T-wolfs Calv, & Njal (Me)

My power book loaded the site up just fine, so I think you're good Danny.

One finals location up north and one location down south. So everyone that played in Brea, Temecula, SanDiego, Burbank, Pasadena, and a few other locations (about 30 people altogether) will be playing at Pasadena.

SoCal looks like this so far:
Orks 4
Space wolves 4
Nids 2
Dark Angels 2
Dark Eldar
Eldar
Blood Angels

But there are like 4 or 5 locations that havnt posted results yet.

Fantastic Games Columbiana, OH. We had 8 people, would've had 10+ but 2 guys showed up on the middle of round 1 and other people had work/drill/not enough points.

1st GK Henchmen w/dread knights(there was some bs involved with this guy but whatever.)

2nd Orks didn't play him but saw lots of stuff with def rollas.

3rd SW Long fangs missile spam

4th GK Purifier spam(me) My first ard boyz! I should've played more aggressively vs the 3rd place winner but I'm still a back up for semi finals

5th CSM I only got 4th by 1 pt bit he and I had a good 1st round duel.

6th DE lot of raiders and fighters, he's a young kid but had a good list.

7th SW Long Fangs the two SW players tied in 1st round it was pretty amusing.

8th BA my buddie's dice were just hating him all day, he was pretty upset.

1 of the guys who didn't make it in time would've played CSM, don't know about his friend.

GAme Depot AZ

1st paladin GK 32 models and 5 kill points with two autowin missions

You left out the GK player from GE Pasadena

I didnt leave him out. I thought you said in your post that he couldnt make it and the Ork player was taking his place. If not I stand corrected. anybody else have results from SoCal (like Aero hobbies or the Burbank event)?

Results from Auto Master in North Canton, Ohio.

1. Orks - 5 Battlewagons (me)

2. Necrons - Deceiver, 2 Monoliths, heavy shooting

3. Grey Knights

4. Space Wolves

5. Blood Angels

6. Space Wolves

I took first with nids, horde orks and DOA tied for second and third.
