So Day 2 is in the home stretch and we are watching the team tournament.
Here are the Day 1 results for the 40K Championships.
http://apocalypse40k.blogspot.com/2012/04/adepticon-40k-championship-results-day.html
There were 7 of the top 16 that were Grey Knight players. Bill Kim deserves Kudos for making it to the top 5 with Chaos Daemons. And a Dark Angel player made it? Damn!
7 Grey Knights
2 Space Wolves
2 Orks
1 Chaos Daemon
1 Imperial Guard
1 Necron
1 Eldar
1 Dark Angel
We will cover the final round tomorrow and have video interviews with Forgeworld, Black Library and the rest of the guests up tomorrow.

I know it is Reece, and really, he is playing a foot list. Granted, not my preference (Foot IG), but ground pounding is ground pounding, and I want what is seen as "the worst style of list" win it all.

Anyone want to set up some sort of Reece cheer to be played if he makes it to the top table tomorrow?

Reece is a nice guy and all but, as a Necron player, I'm hoping for 2 results....
1: The Necron player takes it all.
2: The 7 GK players take 10th-16th place.
Any idea what list the Cron player is using?

GK are the equivalent of Rogues in vanilla WOW... you faceroll your keyboard and beat people up. Honestly, I think the dex is just so easy to make great lists that its hard NOT to lose.

I have to root for the Chaos Daemons player. It takes a lot of skill (and more than a little luck) to wade through a sea of Grey Knights to make it to that level. A random player with a GKGM and a unit of Interceptors can conceivably wreck you on Turn 1...

I gotta throw my support for Nick N / Yermom (he's a dakkite too!). He's from my flgs and an all around awesome guy (even though he's playing gk  ).
I'm stuck in business meetings all tomorrow but looking forward to watching the IC coverage after the fact. It will stay uploaded right?

Hopefully Reecius sees this thread before he plays. HE HOLDS THE HOPE OF THE ENTIRE 40k COMMUNITY IN HIS HANDS!
Because foot Eldar beating out 7 GK would the greatest moment ever. Off all time.

I talked to Reece about his army heading back in a carpool from San Diego. He said he was playing for fun and that if he doesnt place he doesnt care. Im not sure if its finalised but he opted out a wraithlord for 3 more scatter walkers. Your tactics seem to be working out perfectly! Stomp those knights back into middle tier! ( BAO reference)

Reece is a class act, so I'm sure he will handle whatever comes with dignity and grace.

DOing my live coverage on my blog check it out if you want guys.
So far unless it has already been reported Paul Murphy won his first game in record time . As well demons are already out. I think dark angels are gone to by space wolves. A few grey knights will be canceled out because of mirror matches.
