I thought about it.

I just wanted to point out a rule that I thought might need more examining for next years TT. I was stating my opinion that it made for a powerful combination (again, not game breaking though) but might want to be looked at.

I was happy that one of our teams cracked the top ten, even if it wasn't mine.

I'm also happy that I managed to call the winning codex, though disappointed that it wasn't MY CSM.

within my friends over the years, I've found good players, good army list builders and good painters.. I've never seen one of them with a trifecta.. I have seen though one build the army, another paint it and a third person play it. I wonder how often that really happens and people are just too afraid/pathetic to mention they didn't paint it... hmmm..

IME most of the real GT contenders I’ve known over the years have all three going for them. This is the biggest benefit of soft scores. Among the Team contenders, I suspect it is more common for the work to be divided out a bit. The teams that get the highest appearance scores tend to have pretty uniform paint jobs, which are easier to do if one or two members do the work.
