Hmm... new list eh? I'm now intrigued.

I dunno, the tyranids could pull something out I think. They just require a little more finesse than they did before.

I think their flying circus list is good, but it has a few hard counters that will ruin their day.

Cant wait for LVO! May Russ bring the pain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, so much work left to do before LVO. Anyone else feeling the build/paint crunch creaping up on them?

*unrelated topic - It's amazing how many Orks you can fit in a Fortress of Redemption. haha that's a total joke opening there.

"How many Orks can you fit in a Fortress?" ... answer....

No, I finished along time ago. 22 bikes is enough

I would love to see Nids win LVO! Haha, that would be awesome.

Getting PUMPED! Working our asses off here but it is going to be fantastic!

Reecius are you guys bringing TableWar stuff to sell? I am looking for more trays for my case.

It is going to be a good time!

Doug and Todd will have the TableWar goodies there, yes.

And yeah, this is gong to be super fun, everyone at the shop has been banging out terrain every day and talking about how fun it;s going to be.

Yeah, since I decided to bring my Chaos Sisters instead of my Iron Warriors. Not a real competitive list, but kind of fun to play with. I have 2 squads to paint still, there is a positive note: my helbrutes are already finished.

I am attempting to get some White Scars or Nurgle Daemons done in case Frontline Gaming isn't done with my Iyanden Eldar in time for me to do the details, insignia, and basing for the LVO.

I may be burning a lot of midnight oil soon since the White Scars aren't even all built yet and the Nurgle Daemons are no longer inspiring for me to work on!

TableWar will be there. You can order online and add "LVO" in the coupon at check out and we will drop the shipping. You can pick it up at our booth when you get there.

The online inventory should be restocked by close of today as well.

Hey everyone. Whats the word on Youngbloods showing up to LVO? Anyone bringing their kids and younger brothers/sisters to play? I ask because my 12 y/o son will be there as well. He will be playing in the Zombie game and besides that he will be hanging out looking for pick up games.

question for reece:

does it matter what model I bring for the zombie mini game? or do I just choose the one that looks the best and we build rules for it on the spot or something?

Glad you are coming to Vegas. For the zombie game you can bring any 28mm infantry or 40mm infantry model. The plan is to have everyone make there character at home and bring with them the filled out character sheet which will go up today. If you are unable to deck your guy out at home no big deal you can do that at the event. Excited to see how people like the game.

Zombie Rules updated! http://www.frontlinegaming.org/las-vegas-open/las-vegas-open-zombie-survival-game/

Quick rule question for the 40k championship at LVO : what is your policy regarding Black Legion's artifacts

Do you consider that they all replace a weapon ? Or that only weapons-like artifact replace a weapon ? Or that they never replace a weapon ? Something else ?
You probably know that the ruling on those is unclear because the supplement says nothing about that, and that a lot of people have different opinion on that matter. So in doubt, I prefer to ask prior to the event.

Short version is : can I bring my DP with Spineshiver Blade and Skull of Ker'ngar ? (it's even converted so you actually see the blade and the skull).

Just signed up for Beerhammer! Been practicing my whole damn life. #drunkenconfidence #hashtagssuck

How are you going to play out Grav guns during the tournament? RAW or saves allowed?

More likely referring to vehicles getting cover saves against glancing and penetrating hits. Neither of which are caused by Grav weaponry.

Correct, but against vehicles on a 6 a Grav weapon doesn't cause a glancing or penetrating hit, so RAW no cover saves can be taken against it as cover saves for vehicles are only taken in the event of a penetrating or glancing hit. RAI I think you get the save. Be advised I plan on bringing White Scars or Eldar so I am taking the least powerful position which could potentially hurt me, I am much more of a RAI than RAW player normally and this case isn't an exception.

LVO FAQ is here

http://www.frontlinegaming.org/community/40k-faq/

"Kairos Fateweaver’s Staff of Tomorrow does not allow him to re-roll the end of the game roll, Night Fight rolls on turns 5+, or a D6 that was originally rolled by the opponent."

Too funny I think I remember the battle report in which this happend


On a side note:

"When using the Dark Excommunication psychic power, the following sections from pages 61-69 of the Chaos Daemons codex are counted as Daemonic Gifts; Ranged Weapons, Melee Weapons, Daemonic Attributes, Icons & Instruments, Hellforged Artifacts, Daemonic Rewards, Daemonic Loci, and Daemonic Psychic Powers. Additionally, anything listed as a Daemonic Gift in a unit’s army list entry is also counted. Note that Daemonic Steeds and psychic powers generated from the main rule book are not affected by Dark Excommunication"

Oh man, I am absolutely digging this one here!

That still doesn't answer the question.

"Cover and invulnerable saves may be taken against wounds cause by a weapon with the Graviton special rule."

Damaging a vehicle isn't the same as causing a wound.

Yes, but we already rules that you can take cover saves for vehicles, otherwise ignores cover wouldn't work on vehicles and unless you want to play against a meta of 2+ save cover Wave Serpents with no way to get around it, we have to assume wounds also applies to ap rolls.

So, in other words, yes, you get cover saves against it.

Ok good I am glad that's cleared up then like I said I prefer the least powerful interpretation.

Hmmm... Did you take my advice and leave the beer in the mini-kegs this time!?

12 ounce can more or less equals a drop pod.

Mini-keg would be .... a titan of some kind? Stompa?

Yeah, right, Overwatch, " like I said I prefer the least powerful interpretation ", my foot.

I have some suggestions for beerhammer.

#1 move it to Saturday night next year. Players that go 3 and 0 on Friday night have to chose between beerhammer or playing games 4 and 5 rested and not hungover. Moving it up 1 day means 8 people still have a chance to win instead of 32.

#2 Donation beers. They go into a common pool and are randomly distributed on top of whatever swill is provided..

Shhhhh... I only go for the most powerful interpretation when I play you.

Also I am referencing two BAOs ago when the middle of the table, on several tables, were Heineken Mini kegs painted with black and yellow chevrons to look like large industrial vats. It was great LoS blocking terrain but sadly they had no beer in them
