From BBF's post it sounds like Nanavati beat Grant if he was playing Pajama Pants.

Guessing azrael and blob...!?

And you can make them semi immune to shooting and overwatch with a void shield generator giving them 3 av12 regerating shields that the entire tide gets to keep as long as 1 ork is within 12 inches of the generator. .

This is probably the worst ruling in any gt currently. 150 ork boys spread out to all 4 courners of the board with 1 boy way in the back under the shield giving the whole mob protection.

Ridiculous.

Spoke with several people who were complaining about it.

yeah that seems completely stupid and a dirty way to play. Will be sad if some stupid gimmick like that ends up winning the whole thing

The wording on the void shield is unit (and target which is the same as unit) not model it has nothing to do with any ruling in any gt. It is the same as the old ork KFF that only changed this edition when GW reworded it to models and not unit. This is partly the reason I am sure most tournaments ban the VSG, it's very powerful with the right builds. However it's not terribly hard to glance 3x av12.

Top Standings are up. Top 8:

Nanavati: Daemons/Inq
Nick Rose: Marines/BA
Tyler DeVries: Eldar
Vincente Arroyo: CSM/Daemons
Steve Sisk: SM/IK
Nayden: Tyranids/Tyranids
Aaron Albert: GK/SM
Geoff Thompson: Wolves/AM

Talk about spectacular diversity in that top 30 WOW! Loving it right now.

With orks in 9th and tau in 10th. This is a very diverse and balanced top 10 list. I don't believe I've ever seen a tournament in a long time where the the top 10 wasn't completely filled with the same 2-3 Codexs.

Btw the top three are the only people that are 6-0 and undefeated correct? That means there is a decent chance the eventually winner may not be undefeated.

Top 3 are undefeated. It's 1000 points for a win, so only 6k plus totals won all 6.

Here are some pictures from day 2 last round:

Wow no Necrons in the top 25 much less top 8.

Only Marines and Chaos Demons showing up multiple times.

Dare I say it but does this mean the game is entering a balanced state and GW finally making at least somewhat reasonable decisions?(At least from a rulings/Balance Point of view no comment on pricing and other) I may need to go lie down.

@tsilber: I finished 5-1. Lost to Tyler's Eldar in round 5.

Well the necron codex is only two weeks? Old so it needs a it more time for people to put a few models together and paint them.
While balance is much much better don't forget the lvo takes certain liberties with rules changes. I believe the following are true
2+ rerolls only have 4+ on the Reroll
Invisibility is bs1 and assault hits on 6.
Certain lord of wars super heavies are banned still
And tournaments still limit to two detachments.

However yeah this tournament looks like it could of went to almost any army. Heck the eventual winner may not even be undefeated.

Even with the slight rules edits and limited Super-heavy list....I would call this by far the most diverse showing I have seen in a long time if ever.

Team anyone but eldar!

Diversity... 1/3 of the top 30 is Eldar...

An absurd percentage of the field had multiple flyrants, counting allies.

Well... They are arguably the best flyer in the game and this is a competition so...............

Was hopeful that a nid player would win the LVO but its looking like the chances are slim!

Anybody know the list of the top Nid player?

What are those guys in the top6 who are running Space Marines actually using? For them to be up there they have to be getting wins against the Flyrants, Serpents, Decurions, Daemons and whatnot, so I'd be really interested in hearing about their army lists.

The top 5th army is Steve Sisk's White Scars/ with an Errant.

I played it round 5 and almost had it. It went on to turn 6 and he took the win instead.

He's running

Khan
Chapter Master
Command squad on bikes

4 Bike units
Sicaran

Knight Errant

It was my only loss of the tournament. I needed it to end on 5th turn to win it.

I went 3 wins, 1 loss, 2 ties.

Anyone know what Nick Rose's SM/BA has in it?

Any idea of what was roughly in Ian Ager's pure space wolf list?

Sean Nayden Pilots "Lictor Shame", it comboes lictor formation with mawlocs to run counter meta to serpents. Has some MSU elements as well. I have heard this is what he is playing LVO, not 100% confirmed.

http://vectdoes.blogspot.com/ < his blog, has his list and battle reports.

1/10 eldar are no longer as bad, demons, space marine and tyranids are more common

Thanks to the helpful people providing lists or links to the lists.

Any idea about the #1 Chaos Demons / Inquisition list, and/or the #4 Chaos Space Marines / Chaos Demons list?

The army barely outside top10 with Demons allied with Tyranids interests me a lot too. A lot of cool stuff here.
