Congrats Nick on a well deserved win. We will have to get a game in sometime. Have yet to face you.

Geez, and both of these guys are from my area. What a tough scene

Hey user TKopach, your username is confusing (since you're apparently not Tony and talking about him in 3rd person).

I'm first of all relieved that Tony didn't win AGAIN . I mean, give somebody else a chance . Nick seemed like a really nice guy the few brief times I've talked to him at tournies. Very glad to see him win it!

Oh, yeah I know it's confusing haha. It's his account and I nearly borrowed it for posting and letting you guys know what was going on during the tournament since there wasn't much coverage. I'm actually his girlfriend and spent time writing battle reports and getting his army packed, painted, and ready. Since I was around the tables I figured I would try and help out and let everybody know. Sorry for any mistakes made! Trying to get Tony into the virtual world!

Stop Susannah we've kept him normal and disconnected so far! Grats to Nick, who also gives better hugs than Tony.

Battle reports? Got any links to some of the batreps you wrote?

And if only my S.O. would help me to paint.....

Scouring is not the mission I wanted to play Josh and his wraiths.

Thunderstorm lists aren't really that unconventional, There has been buzz about them in the competitive scene ever since the point drop.

My fear from the top 16 lists is because of the prevelance of Necron's and Necrons with Heldrakes we ware going to hear an increased call for forgeworld to deal with the fliers. as the other 16 lists demonstrate you can deal with fliers without forgeworld.

Remember tau were not allowed in the 40k championship, I can't say for sure but I'm assuming they will cause the meta to shift a bit.

How's the Jetseer list doing? Did he play Nick or Aaron?

No lol, which was funny cause he beat nick pretty bad at a prep torny 2 weeks ago. He went 3-1, the game he lost his dice cropped out on him.

I'm really happy for nick tho he's an awsome guy

yeah, TK predicted that ish quite well.

Too bad the Nid player lost, I think he matches up well vs lots of these Cron/CSM lists.

Tony downed both his flyrants with a single sniper rifle hahahaha

TKopach, Oh, I was wondering how you knew all those details then! Thank you for updating us

Jarthkin and I are in the video feed right now. We are the team without the aegis line.

It's not easy to identify anything in the vid feed.

Looks like a lot of minis on the table and plenty of measurements.

You guys finally gonna win it this year?

Also, how's DD2 doing?

I'd like to hear a Dakka Detachment update, too

So the top lists were various flavours of Necron scythe abuse....

Yawn.

The scythes were less potent than the Wraiths, I think. 18 Wraiths is hard for lots of folks to overcome and I know Josh Roberts and Hoerger both took 18 Wraith lists. 3 Scythes doesnt break the game and that is what most of the folks were taking.

Relic, were they? Tony Kopach took second and was SM/IG, right? So not all necron scythe spam, and from what I read those that did have them didn't have too many.

Edit: Ninja'ed!

Scythes and Wraiths..... Nothing clever there.

Not impressed

That was fun. Tabled them in 5 turns.

Congrats, Blackmoor!

Could you update us on DD1 and DD2's overall records?

DD1had max win round 1. Round 2 we won, and when I left yakface and centurion99 where not looking too good.

Dd2 is struggling. Our list is long on theme... not so mch on power. Plus not being up on 6th is hurting

Sigh. Seriously guys? I'm gone for ONE year, and this?!

Tau next year. I'll show you all how it's done.

I'm down for Tau next year.

Sob next year for the win.

Is anyone else sick of Necron AB/Wraith spam? It's overpowered, predictable, overly reliable, and dull as dishwater.

How does Thunderstorm work?

Asmodai, why yes, Relic07 was just complaining about the very same thing farther up the page

They just need to be nerfed to Str 4 and all will be well. Wraiths, that is.

Knowing GW, they're going to be unusable in the next codex so enjoy it while it lasts folks

Thunderstorm is triple thunderfire, triple storm talon, sprinkle in some blobs and librarians for atsknf.

I prefer the tooled out daemon prince over more wraiths. My list will only feature 5 and no more. However, I would be dumb not to run 3 AB. Just like an IG player takes his vendetta's or a necron player takes his heldrakes. Those units are the best point for point units in their codex. It would be silly not to run them in a competitive environment.

That's why I like your DP/Necrons list, it's creative and fun. Ugh AB's have such terrible models, otherwise I would spam them like it's 1945.

Damn straight, all these Necrons with Helldrakes.... I mean, was there a Necron list that didn't run them?
