Just want to thank chris and the gang at legends for throwing a truly epic 2 day 40k tournie. Betweeen the games, different armies, players, food and the copious amounts of beer i drank, i doubt i've had a better weekend of 40k ever. And yes even seeing/playing against all those super heavies didn't take away from the good times..

Let me know when the pics from the tournie go up, wouldn't mind taking a look at some of the shots you got while we were gaming away.

Don't kid yourself that tournament was a load of BS, in the 1000 point doubles we ran into 2 warhounds and 1 transcended catan. Will be the last time i go to a tourny that allows super heavies.

Lol, i faced a stompa and a transcended ctan in the doubles, as well as a keeper of secrets and a great unclean one in the same army in the singles and i still had a good time. Now i will admit playing against super heavies isn't easy, and I prefer to not see them at all, but since it was legends first 7th edition tournie i was willing to try out full foc. Now that we know that super heavies take so much away from the game and the tournie scene hopefully that will be the last we see of them.

You have the give the guys at Legends credit, they tried something new. Instead of saying "No" they said "Why not?" I'd rather try something first, see where it's broken and fix it for next time, then just restrict everything and have nothing ever change.

I think some good lessons can be learned from this past weekend and having them applied to the next time will only make it better.

I enjoyed the Legend's tournament, and had fun playing with my Stompa, in fact I would credit the Stompa to starting lots of conversations, which in turn lead to talking to more war gamers.

As for LoW.. I think they are fine, but may need to be moderated with a banned list for some of the sillier ones, such as the double D warhounds, Kustom Stompa's and Trancendant.

It may intrigue you to know that on the Singles tournament day the armies with the Transcendant c'Tan's did not place top 4, in fact two of the top four ran pretty standard fair armies that where well simply well played., Tyranids and IG Pask list.

Even the army that took the top spot in singles was standard FOC, though it did have a Stompa.

I played it first round and the Stompa did very little before getting destroyed.

I think Superheavies are fine, but Superheavies + Unbound is a bit over the top. At least if you bind the Superheavies into a standard FOC they severely limit the remainder of what the rest of the force has to work with.

Personally I think they should be limited to 1 Strength D shooting weapon or none at all (just CC SD weapons).

Overall I had a good time, I didn't run into any supercheese, just solid competitive armies.

who's who? in doubles i ran a bunch of venoms and my partner ran war walkers. decided not to go hardcore and wished i had.

so then...

in singles i ran a seer council and a c'tan. and got owned aha.

who did i meet from the board at the tourny?

You met me, I played the Pask IG army and came in 3rd.

You also my buddy Mike, who played you with the Cent-star (I think last game?)

Pretty sure you played a different stompa in the first round dakka, you played a regular stompa, the one that took first place overall was the custom stompa that was basically 75% of his army score in 1 model.

As for the tournie, i was your partner for the doubles and ran the battle forged list of tyranids for the singles that came in 4th overall.

Is the appleby games workshop too far from you? I'm currently saving to buy a game board.

Really? For some reason I remember that the guy I played first won something, who came in 2nd then, was it him?

I think so ya, i was 4th, you were 3rd, and then stompa first and second.

The regular Stompa list wasn't cheesy by any measure, even with the special IA8 warbiker boss. Maybe my list just countered his well, but I didn't find anything to be OP, just solid overall. Our game went really close until he failed a 7 or 8" charge with the Stompa into Pask's squad on a 4. That right there swung the whole game my way, even though I had no way of getting the Relic.

That Custom Stompa was pretty crazy from what I heard though.

Nah regular stompas are like baneblades without the d cannon, harder to kill but nothing a normal all comers list shouldn't be able to handle, they tend to be priced for what you get as well. It's when d str 10 inch blasts start going all over the place that things become boring.

Oh crazy, while hello again to everyone! Nice to put some faces to names.

I still maintain that my haywire could eat a stompa and I'm upset that i bitched out.

Also, gravcents are so evil. I'm going to teleport draigo around with five.

And invisibility is so good. I could have beat that kustom stompa if I'd been paying attention to the objectives more carefully. He wasted my transcendent, but the last three turns he couldn't even shoot because my jet council had invis up.

Then of course the same power kneecaps me against the centurians and my ctan eats it

Oh ya invis is broke-ass broken. IMO it's just as bad as super heavies that can sling D-plates all over the place.

Hey it's all a part of the game so I'll still play them, and you know what they say: If you can't beat them, join them!

I (Ryan, or regular Stompa Tall Guy) got 2nd in the singles and 3rd in the doubles.

So More Dakka, you killed my Stompa in that first game... still mad about all those 2's but it was a great game.

@Canuckish: Ya he'll do that to you. My first ganme of 40K was against him. I played deep striking BA, he brought a leaf blower IG list, take one guess how that went...

Lucky enough he's a good guy and I stayed in the hobby

Anyone own a copy of Imperial Armour Volume 8, with the Kustom stompa ruleset. let me know, thanks

Im switching over to Dropzone Commander, there is 0 skill or fun left in 40k

Lol got to love those knee jerk reactions to one tournament, well if after one weekend the sky is falling for ya then good luck DZC, the rest of us will keep having fun in our "no skill" game.

Anyone up for some games this Saturday at legends, preferably early since I need to be heading out around 4? Looking to get some regular games in minus the cheese of the super heavy scene.

Sky has been falling for years, the doing of GW, this was just the last straw.

Anyone up for some games this weekends at legends, finally have some free time if people are interested.

i might be able to play a game tomorrow. what time do they open?

Legends opens at 10am on saturdays

Ok. How many points?

I can do pretty much any point level but i prefer 1750+ if at all possible, what are you looking for?

W.e bro, just want to play. Ill bring about 2k and well go from there

Sounds good, so tomorrow at 10am at legends?

Yup. Will do
