INAT FAQ says gloom prism cancels out all the GK psychic shinanegans. Cocheese should have died in first round of combat with wraiths and Brad consolidate moved 2" when he rolled a 1. This is game TEN from 4 days. It is brutal, and I bet their minds are mush by now.

BTW Fatecrusher has gone up against those necrons and died horribly quiet a few times....

It's turn five and it looks like GKs have a slight advantage for the win.

Tony Kopach is imba, nerf Kopach.

Kopach loses. GK wins Adepticon 2012.

Brad's GK wins!

Looks like GKs take it. Thanks to BoK for covering these battles. I know I've spent a lazy Sunday watching three great matches instead of writing a research paper due tomorrow. Cheers to all involved.

Entertaining game for the most part. Cant say I am surprised GK won it all though.

No black templars? I should have been there. 7 Grey Knight players?! Before the new codex there werent even that many in exsistance lol!

Glad to see grey knights win a major tournament. Its nice to know that gw doesnt have a problem shifting up the power armies.

Actually, it was 8. One of the Ork players dropped.

For those wondering where the wreck markers came from, www.gdesignsinc.com is the place. They have wreck markers for pretty much any vehicle in 40k and a nifty blast marker with a ruler attached.

That's what they call a smart Ork

That last game sorta soured me on competitive 40k it. It was just a dice off

Yeah, but not before beating Goatboy and me.

To me, just making the Top 16 is an accomplishment to be brought of, whether you decide to play in the finals or not. Pretty sure I'd never be able to make it.

Honestly, not sure if I have the grit required to play 3 full days of 40K straight*.





*Most likely a lie, since my last trip to Gencon was nothing but me demoing/playing games for 4 days straight open to close. And more games after hours.

My luck, I'd make it that far, and then have a game where I'd roll nothing but straight 1's, until it came time to roll leadership, then nothing but 6's. That's always how it seems to go for me in tourneys. I'll do well the first couple of games, and then my dice flat out rebel.


Congrats to the guys who made it that far.

Is there any where we can look at the the winning list and Kopachs as well? Though I'm sure Kopachs list hasn't changed much.

I am pretty sure I got that call right.

I did like how right when Kopach lost, the stream chat box was filled with people cheering for him to flip the table.

Thanks so much for the support, guys! That means a lot to me.

Almost had it! I was winning turn 5, winning turn 6, but Paul got me turn 7.

Gah, he is a lucky git! He seized the initiative on me again this year!

What a fun tournament, the Mighty, Mighty Footdar dang near pulled it off.

Day 1 Tony Kopach and I played round 4, and I only needed 55 more VPs to beat his Wolves. Had the game ended turn 5, I would have won, had my Avatar fleeted 2 more inches turn 6, I would have won. Soooo close! But luckily us tying didn't knock either of us out of the event.

As for the Independent Character thing, I genuinely thought that I was right on that one, and still do, but who cares. Paul and I always have good games, and we were both trying to win so things like that happen. Neither of us took offense, it was just one more attempt to try and win the game, and it was fun.

Well, I think I can safely say the internet can kiss my Footdar booty! They are legit. Day 1 I played my worst match-ups (Tony Kopach's Wolvf list, Tony Kopach and his wolves, Venom SPam DE and IG), and I only went first 1 out of 6 games. I literally had to fight and claw my way to the final 8.

Awesome time! Adpeticon is so fun.

Again, thanks for the support guys, that really is so awesome to see you guys pulling for me! Yermon beat ChrsitianA in day 1 in a crazy close game, but Tony got him day 2 with some luck. He did great though and won overall day 1! Dakka kicking butt like usual.

Congratz to Brad Chester and his Grey Knights. He's a former Footdar player, too! He went to the Dark Side with Grey Knights this year and it paid off.

Sorry for all the cursing on the live stream! hahaha, I curse like a sailor (bad habit) but Paul and I were laughing during our game which is always my goal. It is just a game after-all . I even got Tony Kopach to laugh twice when I did my good luck dance! He never usually even smiles during games, I take that as a morale victory!

Again, does anyone know where we can look at the winnign lsit or if we can watch the final on youtube or something?

Regards,
Crynn

It was a coteaz and grandmaster with purifiers and inquisitorial troops.

Last year (2011) I stated that one of the strongest builds is going to be the Cortez Builds and was tinkering with one at the time.

I saw very little downside to that sort of build. Brutally efficient.

Secondly I was rather surprised and intriqued that Reece went Footdar.

The Meta seems to be GK's, though I'll stay with my pups and continue to buy certain models for all my armies for the approaching 6th ED changes.

Oh for Petes sake! Tony almost won it AGAIN with Wolfs AGAIN, maybe player skill have something to do with it.

Instead of this build or that codex are the greatest/cheesiest of all time maybe the story should be Tony Kopach is one of if not the greatest general in 40k.

Secondly I was rather surprised and intriqued that Reece went Footdar.

Huge respect for taking footdar, and even more so for taking them as far as he did. It was like watching Rocky Balboa slugging it out with Apollo Creed.

Wow.

7 out of the top 16 finalists did indeed play GK. There has to be a reason for such.

Tony Kopach us a highly respected player who kept playing with his space wolves instead of jumping on the GK band wagon. I commend him on staying with Spaces Wolves, which is the same reason why I am staying with my space pups as well.

So, who is planning for next year? (I am...)

8 out 16 were grey knights, actually. Greay knights are a crutch! :-)

I brought footdar beacuse they are my favorite army to play. I came to have fun this year, and to show the world footdar can and will win against any other books. Considering I tied tony and his wolves, and only lost to paul's grey knights on vp's and bad luck, I think the point's been made.

Regardless, it was super fun. It got me excitex about 40k again as I haven't been playing at all lately.

Tony is a good player.

He tied Reece, he tied Yermon/Nick and won on just a few VPs and lost to Brad. He is the equal to the top players, but not the greatest ever.

@helium42
Thanks!
