We will be selling drink tickets at the event, you can pay with cash or credit!

Given this, I state openly to all my opponents:

If you draw me for a match, I propose a Round 3 Stretch; sorta like the 7th Inning Stretch in baseball. We'll be sure to mosey to the bar at that point, wave to acquaintances, harass the guys we see but don't wanna play and either praise Reece & Frankie for how well things are running or gripe at them (depending on mood), and repeat the process, with fresh cold ones, on the way back to Turn 4.

I'm in, but lets do this more than once a game!

John, play me in Beerhammer and together we will forge your dream into reality.

Do you get to choose?

We can always request. After all, beer hammer is all about fun, not competition. And what's funner than to drink with a friend? I mean besides drinking with an attractive stranger of the opposite sex. Lol!

Word. Not sure if im going to make it to beerhammer yet though. I'll be rolling with a group of 13 people (only one of which is another player) and not sure if we have plans for that night.

Just had a friend decide to go for 40k main event. He needs a ticket. If someone is looking to sell one please pm me.

Reece will it be possible to post a recording of the finals coverage? I will be slowly floating up the coast of Mexico hopefully too intoxicated to find out if I can get internet on the ship to watch live. But I still want to see the final match. I am calling CSM/Daemons and Tyranids at the top table because you that's why!

We shall endeavor to do so! We're still very new with Twitch, so I can't make any promises.

Enjoy your cruise!

Do we need to submit lists or anything? or will this pretty much be like BAO?

I am pretty sure you will have to at least turn in a copy of your list at the beginning of the event. Usually you only need to turn in ahead of time if there is comp involved.

The safest plan of action is to print out a bunch of copies and have them with you. One for each of your opponents and one for the TO.

Bring 10 copies - you might make it to the final rounds.

right on thanks guys

Thank you thank you thank you for the last day live feed.

The Twitch or whatever broadcast was really good, but they should use black and white dice.

I couldn't see any of the rolls, that may help in the future. Plus hey they get some free dice.

People are particular though about their dice.

I don't understand why the players playing the match had headsets though, it was weird. Although you got that great conversation where I think Sean was saying his wife got lost.

Just a bit awkard to listen to, The commentary was excellent and funny the player stuff was not it felt like you were snooping in on private conversation, like I could hear everything they were kind of going back and forth on during parts of the match.


Eventually I will come to the LVO and it's because of the coverage, can't wait to go!!

Just for completeness, there was an offshoot LVO thread here where people were discussing the coverage, etc:

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/636826.page

yakface. The 2 other threads on the LVO were not threads dedicated to the update and results of the LVO. Instead they were opinions on the meta, and opinions on the way the tourny was run in general. I understand that these may not be the general thread in which most people will want to follow for LVO news, but are still valid in their own right, and should not be locked. just my opinion......

Petre and afew others were asking what my SW army was in the other thread but it got locked for some reason...

Does anyone know what Vincent Arroyo's CSM/Daemons list looked like? Curious to know. Cheers.

Cilithan

I would like to know what Nick Rose's list was myself

Nick was my only loss, to my memory it was:

Mephiston
Blood angel Command squad
Librarian (don't remember if it BA of SM)
BA scouts (10)
BA scouts (10)
3 Drop Pods
Sentinels of Terra Scouts (10)
Sentinels of Terra Scouts (10)
Devastator Squad x4 Lascannons
Devastator Squad x4 Lascannons
Centurion Devastator with Grav/Amps/Omni (3)
Lysander
Techmarine with Thunderfire Cannon

I may have the scout squads slightly off on count (maybe by 1 unit) but that was pretty much it

From the updates thread, the winning list!

The finals lists.

Spoilered below:



It's the Tyranids one, on the left (note that the one on the right is his semifinal opponent, not his finals opponent... the pic of the finals lists looked really blurry to me).

Major congratulations to Sean Nayden for forging his own path with Lictorshame list, and countering the meta! It always fascinates me when that happens . Previously, almost no tyranid players were taking lictors... he not only took 6 lictors, but 2 tyrant guard, which also had been put on the shelf by the vast majority of nid players for some time.

Sure, he had 3 flyrants, but it wasn't just "flyrant spam"... even back with self-allying, 3 flyrants could be common. I'm surprised this kind of list doesn't suffer in a KP mission, though, since it is so MSU? Would love to hear more thoughts on how it plays!

Anyone know what the 40K prizes were?

Good live cast, also good to see other TOs starting to carry the torch of classing up the attire in our hobby. Sharply dressed. Very positive stuff already flying around about how fun it was.

To bad the "update" thread was locked. It had a lot of list info and dialog pertaining to feedback external from the event.

Really not that impressed with lictors. Have faced them and wiped them out as soon as they showed up. Will have to watch the games but that winning list does not scare me in the least...

Woh dude. You need to check your privilege - You're not allowed to have any of that information. You're lucky the tournament even acknowledges the idea that there is an internet.

Strictly Some of parts just like any other MSU list. I'm not scared of Scouts either. Doesn't matter how hard you hit if you can't hold all the objectives. Using 100+ points to clear 1 50 point lictor a turn is not getting your points back, and they can go to ground for 2+ cover save in ruins. Not to mention, you have to clear all his bombs even thought hey don't provide kps.

Lictors also have synergies with Mawlocs. It runs counter meta to serpents. Opponent bunches even two serpents and that's 4 Str 6 ap 2 hits that ignore cover to each serpent. He can also put all of his bombs in the blast range to get more hits per serpent. Not to mention, lictors glance serpent back armor on 4s. There is meta, and then there is counter meta.

I've seen several comments like this, You don't win out in a field of 265 of nasty lists without bringing a nasty list.

Lictors have been amazing in the hands of a good player since they dropped. Literally the night the codex dropped, I beat up Nanavati using his Drone list at my place with a heavy dose of Lictors and Deathleaper. Sean's beaten two serious GT fields now using lots of lictors and mawlocs with flyrant support.

Also, everyone going "that list doesn't scare me at all!" is very much part of what helps him win.

Well, obviously it doesn'tmatter how good a list is in practice, only how it looks on paper . In fact, really we shouldn't even bother playing tournament games, the players should just post their lists online and have the victor determined by commitee.

Your sense of entitlement is amusing...

You tell 'em brother... [heavy sarcasm] I'm sure #Lictorshame just drew 9 easy matches in a row, including all the undefeated players he beat, and any old net list could just "beat him easy..." [/heavy sarcasm]

I played Vincente. He had a greater brass scorpion, two hell blades a relic predator a sorcerer and like 4 heralds of Tzeentch and 3 units of horrors.
