Everything is allowed in the Gladiator Tournament. Trial rules, everything from forgeworld etc.

Last year my first game had me going up against 2 Warhound Titans.

(Qoute)I will put GBF on my name tag.

Good time to buy Dakka shirts before you go. This also I assume helps support our favorite site. Bunch of Dakka tuff guys walking around with thier shirts, hows that for intimadatin'

**Black Blow Fly**

It is always fun to be intimidating until someone more intimidating comes along... that is why I do not believe in the metagame... there will always be someone more intimidating somewhere.

GBF intimidates me.

My ex-wife intimidates me, but I haven't met a 40K player yet who does. I've met several players who's skill I respect, and a few jerks who I would rather not play again. But on the whole I'm perfectly at home with other 40K fanatics. I'm chompin at the bit to hit all three days of tournaments. I know I'll be brain dead afterwards, but I'll just take a couple days off then get together with my friends and rehash the weekend.

I love this game!!!

**Tacobake**

man, I wanna go! Stupid being lazy.

**Krak_kirby**

Did anybody else notice the Gladiator event sold out, then they added 15 or 20 more slots? It's gonna be a madhouse!

**Black Blow Fly**

MAD HOUSE !!! MOTOR CITY MAD HAUS !!!

**CaptKaruthors**

Sweet. The gladiator should be interesting then. I'll be the guy getting smoked in the Gladiator though. My list will have trouble vs. many armie this year.

What do you guys think will be more common at the Gladiator? Tyranid MC? Eldar Mech? Guard Baneblade/Vulture? Ork Horde?

**Blackmoor**

In last years Gladiator I played Word Bearers and I ended up playing an Iron Warriors army with 2 Warhound titans (won), Mech Eldar (won), Godzilla Nids (lost...stupid flamers not showing up grrr!), and Godzilla Nids (Won)

Godzilla is very popular in the mid-west. Look at the Chicago GT for an example, so you will see lots of the bugs.

Orks are the lastest and greatest army that people have not yet begun to meta game for, and I think that Adepticon will be the orks coming-out party.

I was thinking that we will se a ton of Baneblades now that they have a cheap(?) plastic kit.

And I will be playing Mech Eldar, so I think that you will see all those that you listed.

**Black Blow Fly**

I think an ork cookie cutter list would have been out by now but it just does not seem to be the case. Probably there is an easy army to win with using orks but probably it will not appear until the advent of V edition.

Now pls remember this thread is for people who are actually playing in the invitational but groupies are allowed to fawn... its just natural really Mr. Simpson.

**40kenthusiast**

I also expect lots of Orks. It's a strong codex that hasn't been done to death, and everybody loves the Ork fluff.

What's not to like?

**Black Blow Fly**

Orks are like mushrooms... kept in the dark and fed pure bull sh*t.

G

**Darkness**

Orks will be interesting at Adepticon. They are a tough nut, but can they pull off the variable objectives for the win?

**Black Blow Fly**

It would be very interesting to see an Ork army win the Invitational! I am sure it could be done too. Something about the color green...

@GBF you are 50 years old? seriously?

**Redbeard**

I'm not doing the invitational, although I had an invite from last year's gladiator, mostly because I don't want to play two gladiators in the same weekend. But, I'm bringing a green horde for the gladiator. It's over 200 models, so I doubt I'll ever see a turn 4 though

But, I'll be pretty-much immune to lascannons.

**Black Blow Fly**

Yes I am Darrian! I chalk it up to all that young Nashville poontang.

See you there Redbeard.

**Ozymandias**

That was just so wrong.

**Darrian13**

Does the Nashville poontang come with a cowboy hat?

Darrian

**Darkness**

GBF is 56 I believe

**Black Blow Fly**

Darrian you should make a journey there and check it yourself. Don't be intimidated by the lack of trees because they were all chopped down to make more guitars.

G

**Darrian13**

I think I will. But, it is not high on my list. Now, Miami, that is at the top.

Darrian

**Black Blow Fly**

I would go before it gets too hot down there.
