Second round Table 1. Brad Nichols Deathwing lost To Kurt Clauss Daemons.

Third Round Table 1 Kurt Clauss Daemons vs Marc Tomlinson Eldar

Yikes! Daemons seem to be some show stoppers this year.

Its a 5 round invitational. He got good match ups in the first 2 rounds against jump pack blood angels and deathwing. Right now if he beats eldar will see how he does on round 4 against the top players.

Is there always a judge on table 1? At one point I saw one head and three hands come out of the edges of the screen to determine scatter, lol. It reminded me of the Nationwide commercial when the guy is doing the hand shadow puppets.

There is actually a judge in each of all the 16 tables. 16 judges in total.

Is there a site that has the overall round results so far?

I'm surprised the judge let the Eldar player redo multiple moves on turn 5.

Game just finished, daemons won on secondary (kill points) after a tie on table quarters.

grrr

Wow I thought mechdar had that one.

Very cool guys! Been watching a bit of the live feed and most of Nichols vs Klauss. Great stuff.

Are most people who are playing on here? If so can you post up a few forum names?

Poor daemon player up against warp quake Grey Knights.

Mat Ward. You suck.

Anybody got the Army list for Tony Kopach, Brad Nichols, Kurt Clauss and Marc Tominson?

You forgot its also being played by Yermom who knows how deamons play and is a great player himself.

Yeah, I caught that.

Plus, the Daemon player didn't get his preferred wave, and Fateweaver still isn't on the table. This probably won't be much of a game.

While I admire the sentiment, knowing how to play daemons against a player who knows how to play warp quake isn't that useful. If you can't get your models on the table, how are you supposed to use them?

Yermon is playing the Grey Knights. He also plays Daemons. thehod was saying it is even more of a ridiculous advantage.

Again, Mat Ward, you suck. You really, really suck at your job.

He ruined Fantasy and he's throwing 40K out of balance. The guy sucks, hard.

I feel bad for the Demons player, but why in the name of anything but fluff do you bring demons to an event like this?

Before Grey Knights, Daemons were a tournament winning army. Fatecrusher is a top tier list, it's only weaknesses being to fast, high rate of fire armies like Mechdar and Mech Deldar.

Grey Knights are just stupid.

This. Sure you can do great but one game of bad rolls and no amount of good playing can catchyou up in a tourny with that many good players.

Can someone translate the real names to some of the forum names? I have no idea who Bob, Rick, and Jane are...

Yes, sadly demons struggle against more than just GK. It was an enjoyable game to watch though and the Demons player certainly impressed me as a stand-up type of guy.

The only familiar names on table one today were Reigning Nova Champion from last year Tony with his Space wolves who lost the first round. And Yermom (Nick Nanavati) who crushed the Daemons with his Grey Knights. Yermom is 4-0 and will play the last round on Table one which is the only table being recorded.

Does anybody know who the other player is for the final? They said it could be IG or SW but didn't say what players. I'm guessing by now though that game has finished.

Last round is 7pm tonight.

Right, but who is the other player in it against Yermom's GK?

They havent announced the final match yet. They are on break and wont be back til 7pm est. So at the moment we dont know who.

Hm, well it's a swiss style tournament right? So it has to be whoever won the other 4-0 table.

It is looking like last matchup will be two titan codices: GK vs Space Puppies

Matt Ward makes 40k like this:

Sooooo... you should only play top tier armies? Just Wolves, GK, IG, DEldar, Angels? Nothing else? That's probably the most ridiculous post I've read today.
