So will war convocation and space wolf iron priests as hq not be legal seeing as these are White Dwarf releases?

So today is the last day to register, but can I change what events I'm in later if I already have a badge?

It's pretty much cart closed. We freeze registration data to finalize materials and logistics for the show. Changes can be made again once on-site registration opens but we are working to have more show integration this year so any changes made weekend of won't be taken into account.

Do we have to submit lists ahead of time for events?

No you don't have to submit your list before the events, just when you sign in that day they will need a copy of it, plus I'm sure in the rules they will list how many copies you should have with you.

As long as your list is legal you should be all good to go.

What is the size of the 40K Champs? If I register onsite will I have trouble getting in?

Registration is closed, so I'd wager you will have a very hard time.


Edit. Onsite. Not online. Reading is hard.

There will be about 20 tickets available for the Warhammer 40K Championship onsite, plus those tickets returned from no-shows. You shouldn't have any problem getting into the event onsite Thursday morning.

Is there any coverage/live streams besides the warhammerAOS twitch stream?

Kinda surprised no one is talking about the top 16 championship cut for 40k. Seems like a whole lot of Chaos demons, lots of elder variety, and some space marine, with a sprinkle of riptide wing. But no real outside the box armies.

I walked around a bit, but I only had a few minutes between rounds of my HH events.

I saw a table with a bunch of Riptides. Like 5 or 6.

A few Magnus the Reds, one was a conversion that was particularly gakky.

I don't have much else to add. Sorry.

Is it that surprising? I don't know, I mean, 40k is in the worst shape it has been since 2nd edition and we are on the eve of a new edition. I would assume that most of the people who care about which riptide or magnus list was lamest are all at the event I have been checking the adepticon forums for information of the seminars personally.

That's "competetive" 40k in a nut shell right now

It's not quite greyknights vs a dying leafblower meta where the same greyknights list was 3/4 of the meta but it's degenerated the last two years since LVO 2015 where Sean won w tyranida and orks made the top 16.

I mean there was literally only one non eldar/demon/marine list I think and it was a Genestealer cult list that did extremely well only losing in the round of 8.

I am still waiting and hoping for final results to get posted. I was very bummed and disappointed in the lack of coverage for the event compared to past years.

Any Adept photos on the web anyware?

How long do they take to release their coverage of the convention and then add it to "past conventions"

Well the GW studio preview pics were on SpikeyBits and elsewhere the night of the presentation, so there's definitely people here covering the event! But yeah, I think even GW is pretty clear that the 40k rules aren't in a good place and badly need updating (and will be soon) so meta coverage just isn't as in demand...

Yah that's a fair point about meta coverage. It's just sad to see nothing about the competitive part except the one spikeybits post about the top16 lists. The IC's coverage of adepticon a few years ago is what got me really hooked on the competition of 40K and the reason I go to/follow all major events I can.

Who and what won the 40k Champs?

Nick nanavati won with fateweaver, belakor, and dual screamer star.

I'm more interested in what won the things like Kill Team or Zone Mortalis at this point because they're novel; I think you can pretty safely assume Eldar or Daemons will win almost every major event until 8th comes out.

All the smaller events (Combat Patrol, Kill Team and Maelstrom) were scored live on Best Coast Pairings. You can find the results there or through the links on adepticon.org under 2017 Results.

I have a handful of pictures of the team tournament, the Saturday Night Displays, and a few cosplayers here:

Most are pictures of the Horus Heresy events I attended.

My 2500 point HH list. I enjoyed my games, but it did not do well...

Why didn't your list do well? What didn't work and what did you need to add? Just curious.

The 2500 point Friendly tournament allowed a lord of war up to 625 (or 650?), and I just did not have enough to deal with super heavies. Especially the ignore cover, AP1 super heavy. Armored ceremite canceled out my melta guns in the drop pod, and the heavy terrain blocked line of site for some of my Heavy Support (I took 3 squads). I'm not complaining about the terrain. I liked, and prefer, the dense boards. Of the 3 games in the Friendly tournament, I won the game against Death Guard (with Mortarion and Typhon), but lost the 2 games against super heavies.

Still, good players with well painted minis is always #1 in my book. Only 1 guy showed up with unpainted gak out of 40 or so in that tournament.
