All second hand, I was running a seperate 40k event this weekend (yeah...). So far localy I've got

Merlyn's Spokane WA,
1) Tyranids
2) Tyranids

Crazy huh?

Will post more when I find out specifics. I know IG, Space Wolves and GKs won some spots but don't know all the results yet.

Johnny Cee Cards
1. Nidzilla
2. Double Big Mek Orks
3. Balanced Nids
4. Deathwing with bikes (me)
There were also 2 chaos marines, BA drop pod, IG, Nobz heavy Orks, Dark Angels with green marines, an Ultramarine, another Orks, another Nids shooty list, and a necrons player.

I bombed in the second round losing to the 2nd place ork. I think the Meks has anti storm shield tech on power klaws, kill kans, and his pair of deff dreads!

There you go Grimgob! Grey Knights!

Ok, I read on one of the Blogs covering this data talking about how Orks are 2nd tier again and how Grey knights have all the tools to compete. In SoCal we have like 5 Orks in the simis and only 1 GK, So what does that prove? All I knows is dat Da uns in da power armour make a betta krunch when ya krump em'.

Good thing orks suck at shoot and hand to hand and cant compete verse power armour

Clearly, the competitive players in California need to L2P! Hurrrrrr!

Those ork players used extensive metagame knowledge to metagamify their army lists in an attempt to metagame the metagame thereby metagaming and winning. meta.

At least that's what the internet will say.

No, no - the internet will say that this wasn't "Warhammer 40k," but rather "Ard Boyz 40k," and so the data points don't count.

Oooh, very nice. Also, since 'competitive' lists didn't win, it wasn't a competitive event.

It just means I was on vacation!!!

Grimgob wrote: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)?

I posted 'em on page 2, Grimjob. Here 'tis again.

Emerald Knights, Burbank, Ca.

50$ on a Tau list to come 1st.....

BAH, I wont let it happen at my semi finals!
If I see tau I will take my huge metal daemons and smash my models into theirs for the blood god...
Unless the tau player is bigger than me, if he is, then..well...Disregard my last comment.

1. Blood Angels
2. Tyranids
3. IG

I placed 7th with Vanilla Marines. KP mission shot me in the foot with having 30 man ork mobs to kill to get a single KP...

Massacred another Vanilla Marine in 2nd round. Left him with 1 model on the table at the end of the game. Controlled all 5 objectives.

Draw against Space Wolves in round 3. Would have had a minor win if it wasn't for his Wolf Brothers that don't count for Victory Points.
