That is the pro-tips section. There is no extra space on the tables, they are 6', butt to butt. You will have to put them under the gaming table.

Sorry you can't make it Oadius.

Almost there, getting pumped to see everyone! And really sick of making terrain t this point! lol!

Which means that you'll start putting in-jokes on the walls (graffiti) sticking with texture paints.

Maybe post a coulpe minutes of video showing the process? It'd give players an appreciative idea of the level of work that goes into such a big effort in terrain.
...
Huh, me-thinks that you might've already done that.

Meanwhile in Europe folks are wondering how the LVO turned out...

Am I too early to be asking this?

Interested to know how any Tyranids - if present - faired.
What was the top 20 like?
Same old Tau and/or Eldar variants or any surprises we might ponder over?

The ruling on 2+ rerolled saves, how was that? Did it function as planned or did it inbalance the field in a diferent direction? Were there Daemons in the top 20 after this change?

Thanks for any replies.

You can - put it in your liquids bag. I brought a bottle of glue to the ETC last year this way, only doing carry-on luggage. I'd recommend bagging it separately inside of your liquids bag as well, just in case of course.

That is amazing!

So if anyone wants my ticket for the 40k doubles I can't do it anymore. My buddy has a funeral to go to. Also his 40k champ tourney ticket is available too.

Another suggestion for food if you don't mind a little walking is Planet Hollywood. It is the next property over from Paris and there is a Mall with quite a few places to eat.

For those attending the LVO, I'm in a bit of a bind. What I want is to BORROW 4 Devastator Grav Centurions that are either painted or I can paint myself. Due to the narrow time range I have to work with, I'm looking at meeting someone in the Seattle region or at the LVO (in which case the Cents would have to be already painted).

I am going to the LVO this weekend, and I ordered these models back in December and they haven't come in yet. I would rather avoid spending ~$150 on models that I already own. Thus, I'm willing to work out whatever trade/loan would make you feel comfortable, as long as it's reasonably short of the cost of just buying the models myself.

Hi, quick question: when is the latest you can register for the Doubles Tournament on Sunday ? I might play with a buddy but theres also a reasonable chance I'll head out drinking after the 40k tournament and be in no shape for another 3 games of 40k on Sunday. Will we be able to register Sunday morning ? Or Saturday evening ? Is it likely this event will sell out ? Thanks!

I just moved to Vegas but haven't gotten my army shipped in yet. Besides spectating, what else is going on at the LVO?
