There was a link hidden over in N & R, but this warrants a repost.  Some great models in there, looks like many many wonderful armies were in attendance.  Also, official scores are up.

Thats nothing-look only one list inlcuding the vaunted Chicks with Sticks.
2 LATD players-I thought they had banned those lists as injurious to marine players...

Interesting, depending on your definition we're only looking at 55% MEQ. The large amount of eldar have skewed the results into less of a bias.  For being  a slightly detuned codex they've gotten popular.

Only one Tyranid player in top 20. And only 2 in top 50!  In fact, the top 6 were all Chaos or Marines.  And both of those armies are up for a nerfing.

For being  a slightly detuned codex, that can easily field over 650-700 pts of victory points denial,  they've gotten popular.

Fixed that

Ordered them by average battle score. Fear the Kroot.

Just out of curiosity, what about the LATD list makes it so nasty against MEQs? I've heard this mentioned before, but I can't figure out why.

Thanks!

Anti-MEQ weapons that every MEQ army is toting don't kill enough mutants and their hidden fists?

- Boss Salvage

Hmm, I was looking over the list and big mutant squads led by an aspiring champions with a fist seem like they would work pretty well. 6-an Las/Plas traiter squads seem like a nice option too. Still hardly seems unbalanced to me...

Chaos 30
Alpha Legion 1
Chaos Space Marine 10
Death Guard 3
Emperor's Children 4
Iron Warriors 3
Lost and the Damned 2
Night Lords 3
Slaanesh 1
Thousand Sons 1
Word Bearers 2

In a a few months that list will read:

Chaos 30.

And that's it! HA!

Ultimately an army with no options has a lot going for it.

Still looking to see what PE played in his Eldar list to get best general! Of less interest is what horrible misunderstanding dropped his sportsmanship into the 20's to put his overall rank at number 30.....

#1. What makes you think his sportsmanship what a misunderstanding?

#2. He had 3 Falcons and 5 Wave Serpents with 5 Dire Avengers if the rumors are correct.

Led by Yriel. All starcannons.

There was still a biel tan on the list :p

LatD might move to IG or orks depending on how their codex looks..

And an Ulthwe list. Naught but a paintjob however - they're still all bog-standard Eldar. Nothing different about them.

Just like everything will be in 40K once Jervis has finished - standardised, optionless, and super-easy to use... by his 5 year old son.

I hate to disagree with you here but seriously, given the crazy variety in the styles of list possible with the Eldar dex, I don't think we need separate army lists for each craft world, just a description of their fluff and colors.

Yes, Marines should get the same treatment, but GW would go bankrupt if they didn't put out a Marine dex every other release.

There was actually another Thousand Sons list there besides mine. I think it was Adam Gati with 70 battle points. I know he was playing higher up on the tables than I was.
