Back in 2005 with over a month left before Adepticon 2005. I posted my Gladiator list for the world to see. Daring anyone in the AWC and Dakka crowd to stop it. Adepticon came and the rest is Adepticon Gladiator Immortality.  Papanurgle in 2006 posted his drop pod list as well .. same result.

Everyone has gotten so secretive both what they are bringing to the Team Tourney and to the Adepticon Gladiator that we fail to have any discussion out of fear of tipping of the hand.

Me ... I prefer the standing at home plate, point to center field and knocking the pitch out of the park. Or running the same play until the Packers prove they can stop it over an over again.

So let's post some lists people ..  What are you packing and who is going to stop you!  May victory go to the brave!

Posting lists also have one other benefit .. you get to find out if it is legal before you show up to play it! Right Sparky!

I have not even decieded on an army yet. Up until last week I was going to go with Eldar, but I think I am switching to either Emperor's Children or Night Lords, but I am leaning to Night Lords.

But the question is, how long does it take to make a 2000 point army from scratch?

I started playing Word Bearers after the last Adepticon. In fact my original lists were Gladiator Lists. After several RTTs and months of testing, this is what I came upon:

Last Saturday I played two test games using the Gladiator Missions.

First Game was against a Choir Nid List using Victory Points. I lost but the point difference was 202, So basically a loss by 2 VPs.

Second game was an objective based mission against a Lysanderwing, that came to a draw on each objective.

So overall I am happy with the list and hope to do well.

I haven't decided yet. I was going to go with Guard, but I've decided to either try Daemonhunters or Night Lords. Rest assured, once I've figured out what I'm bringing, I'll post it here so everyone can see just what kind of list will be winning the Gladiator this year.

What the hell....

My Necron list:

HQ
Deceiver
Destroyer Lord w/ Veil of Darkness, Chronometron (point filler)

Troop
2 x 10 Warriors

Fast Attack
3 x 5 Destroyers

Heavy Support
3 x 2 Heavy Destroyers

2000 points (on the button)
41 Models
PO 10

Anyone else!

There will be other drop pod armies so do not be too overly confident.

Only two weeks left! i am sure people have a better idea of what they are fielding by now!

So far everything looks like easy pickings ..

Right.

- Greenie

To show how truly crazy I am, I'm going to be forgoing the Baneblade or even the Imperial Guard, and taking my most finesse-based army: The Night Lords. Mastery of tactics, operational art, and strategy will be how I emerge as Gladiator Champion...not some shifty forgeworld pieces or abusive use of codexes.

Chaos Lord /w Dreadax, close combat weaon, Daemonic Aura, Daemonic Essence, Daemonic Flight, Daemonic Resilience, Daemonic Stature, Spiky Bits, Mark of Chaos Undivided, Furious Charge

5 Chosen Aspiring Champions /w Daemonic Armor & Chaos Space Marine Bikes, 2 power fists, 2 plasma guns, Icon of Chaos Undivided, teleport homer, skilled rider, mark of chaos undivided

3 Obliterators

2 x 6 CSMs /w las/plas, stealth adept, mark of Chaos Undivided

2 x Raptor AC /w power weapon, d. strength, d. mutation, 5 Raptors, 2 flamers, furious charge, mark of chaos undivided

2 x 10 Furies

6 Havocs /w 2 ML, 1 AC, Infiltrate, Stealth Adept, Tank Hunter

Begin laughing now...but remember, he who laughs last, laughs best.

That's pretty sporting of you C99.

Considering your going to be the only past Champion in the field, with that list .. I'm pretty certain we will have to wait till 2008 for a repeat Gladiator Champion.

I'm laughing .. I'll be laughing in my suite Friday night.. and when we add another Gladiator Champion to the ranks I'll be laughing last.

Good to know you have something to humor you.



- Greenie

It's going to be so unfortunate for you guys when I win.

So what are you smoking today?

- Greenie

It's not sporting. Imagine the glory when I win... All hail Saint Boyd (bonus points for anyone who recognizes the reference).

- Greenie

Only the absolute finest of victory cigars.

In all honesty, I will be happy to score in the top ten.

 

You crackhead!



- Greenie

Whatever, whatever, I do what I want!

Anybody else have lists, it's just over a week away peeps. Let the battle of the lists begin!

Sissies don't hit the crack pipe. Have you heard of Lucy in the sky of diamonds?
