@ Blackmoor.

I'd be interested in your take on people's reactions to you running Tyranids and losing. I hope you'll post some battle reports or at least some notes and thoughts.

Blackmoor did awesome! He drew against a nasty Mechdar list with 2 wraith knights and even beat a Taudar list! He finally lost on game #5 against the eventual champion, Alex Fennel and his wave serpent seer council Deldar.

Congrats Allan. Very nicely done!

Had a great time, some great games, and some good times.

What were the results from rounds 6 and 7? I only saw round 8 up on torrent of fire.

I had a great game with Alan Bajramovic on round 5 when he knocked me out of the running for top 8. His list may not look that mean on paper, but his beast pack is the perfect counter for IG artillery when their 4+ is rerollable, and he makes excellent use of Eldar speed with the LOS blocking terrain.

I had a great time, and I'm looking forward to next year.

If you hit the results tab in torrent for the finals you can choose any of the 3 rounds at the top of the page.

Great games. Great times.

Cant wait for Bay Area Open!

What's the date on the BAO this year?

Hey, so where could I find who actually won LVO? Just curious as to what some of the outcomes were, along with what armies were run etc. Thanks!

Did you not read any of the previous posts in the thread?

I really wish I could have attended! Gadgetstar doesn't do great at 1750 though.

Would love to see the batreps.

I haven't been able to find anything on winners of each round yet... I'll check again though. Go jy2!

Do you have to be a paying member of torrent of fire to view it? I'm signed up, but am not a paying member, and can only see round 8.

No click the little button at the top with the 3 lines and select "results" then there will be 3 tabs at the top for round 1-2-3

Click results at the top of the page, then you can tab through the rounds.

Beat me to it..damn you

sooo two east coast players were playing for the overall there...

Guess we know where the best players are : )

I was wondering how long it was going to take for someone to notice.

I'm really surprised that no Tau topped... There was a lot of Eldar, but I think that Tau would have done better... What do you think?

Yah he coulda had the max win that I gave out instead of tying out with you. Btw Todd congrats I saw the final scores but had to leave early.

Too many Tau players means everyone has beating Tau on their mind.

Reece, Frankie, and crew... The LVO was an incredibly awesome event. You nailed it. Every aspect, from events, rules, terrain, schedule, prize support... all of it. I was very impressed. No doubt the most fun my Wife and I have had at a 40k event. And, quite possibly the most fun that could be had in Vegas this last weekend.

As a guy who finished firmly in the middle of the pack. I can say that I had five great games of 40k against five fun and well matched opponents. All of my games were battles, coming down to the final turn to see who won. Two games being so close that they were decided by a single dice roll.

We are already looking forward to next year. Thanks again Frontline Gaming for all the hard work put into making this happen for us

Just landed back in California.

Had a fantastic time at the LVO cannot wait till next year!

I know the lists have been posted already, but I took the time to PDF and Army Builder them for everyone, also I took a ton of pictures from the event. Here is the link to the blog for them.

Northeast coast to be more specific... Lots of them were at Templecon too.

Just got back tot he Bay. Wow, I am wiped out. Tired doesn't even begin to describe it.

THE LVO WAS SO MUCH FUN!

We had a blast and it's crazy how fast it went by.

Ah ma, that was great, the hard work paid off and the evnt was a blast.

I am wiped, I need to sleep. I have about a million emails and PMs, I will get to them tomorrow or Wednesday. Thanks to everyone that came and had fun! More information to come tomorrow.

Reece thank you and Frankie for a very well ran tournament. Every one of my games came to a natural conclusion which is a huge plus. I plan on attending again in the future.

Thanks to all who posted all the photos. It's one of those events I'd like to get out to the west coast at least once for the experience. Great looking armies and tables (can't wait to get my Mega Mat!)

As far as I know Forgeworld Army lists are not allowed however if that Necron HQ is listed by himself outside of the army list then he's fair game. I don't own any of the Imperial Armour books so I can't verify for sure.

Kulakh does not have any proviso to be taken outside of a Dark Harvest army, and so ishould not be allowed in the tournament per the listed rules.

Forge World units will be allowed so long as they are neither a Super Heavy nor Gargantuan Creature. The most recent version of the rules must be used. This means not just the “40K Approved” units, but any that do not fall within the above restrictions.

I don't know if the LVO had a list of 'allowed IA units' and if not, this kind of mistake can easily happen.

Something good to take as a lesson learned for next year, looks like.

Thanks for posting these, guys, it's much appreciated

I had a fantastic time, Reece and co put on a great event and I look forward to attending for as many years as possible. This is certainly one of the best run an most fun tournaments I have been to. Winning a texas hold-em tournament at the hotel on Thursday and then being lucky enough to win Renaissance Man and Tournament Champion on Saturday and Sunday made for a surreal weekend for me.

Despite all the hate over on Bols (note to self, stop reading the thread there!) I had to work hard in every game and a couple of key dice rolls in the quarter final and again in the final made all the difference.

I'm looking forward to catching up with everyone in Chicago in April

Congratulations again Alex.

I hope you enjoyed beating up on my poor Tyranid army that has the worst codex out there.

Thank you Allan.

Why yes, I did enjoy beating up on the worst codex out there. I have no idea how you managed to go undefeated up to that point

I'm just still getting revenge on you for the first time we ever played at Adepticon when all your stupid daemon units scattered close enough to my army to charge.

Yeah, don't bother reading that....

Can't wait to catch up in April.

Already added a fearless DA libby into my bike list for Adepticon....
