Had some tough matches, especially against 2 fellow Tyranid players, including Mr. Lictorshame himself, Sean Nayden, and John Parsons aka krootman.

I'd love to hear how these games went, if krootman is still posting / has Dakka access there!

Good to see "Mr. Lictorshame" is still in it, at least

I played jy2 with penta flyrants with my eldar in kps. It was a close game , but I had some good luck, and wraith knights are a good counter to flyrants.

In my experience against my wife's dual WK eldar, that means you rolled , then , and he hadnt jinked. : /

Watched the GK draigostar with loth vs the sentinels and BA allies list.

Looked like the BA had the upper hand on round 1 when he managed to do a lot of damage to the dreadknights.

GK managed to pull it back to a close match, especially after the cents annihilated the sentinels/BA hq unit that had Mephy and Lysander in it.

It got down to where the draigo star was the only GK unit, and there were sentinels scout squads here and there.

So with the end of the game approaching, he gated over to one of them.

And scattered.

And mishapped.

And rolled a 1.

Top 4

Nick Rose SM/BA
Tyler Debries Eldar
Sean Nayden Nids
Geoff Thompson SW/IG

Wow Sean N, knocked out Nick N. gogo Sean! CSM!

Yeah they tied the game but Sean beat Nick in victory points because he killed units that Nick summoned.

As any smart player would...

Heard it was a great game none the less. I know Nick N put some self imposed restrictions in place. He was not utilizing Fateweavers reroll. He made a promise to Sean a while ago next time they played in a GT he would make up for a rules mistake He was using at templecon 2014, round 4, that ended up costing Sean the game, well at least hindered or hurt Sean in some way, not sure if it actually cost him the game or not.

First Class of Nick N, to uphold the promise, dont think it could swing a game though between 2 great players.

Yeah I heard about this on our local forum. Apparently, he almost had a game of it until that. Poor Aaron.

I felt all of the pain watching that Centstar mishap... I have seen the already low model-count GK crumble too many times because of a single roll going that awry.

I lost in the finals of a decent sized tournament when on top of Turn 1, two of my DK's dropped in, scattered insanely badly, mishapped, and both rolled ones, putting me down 530pts before my opponent had even played a turn. :-p

Loving seeing 'Nids and Wolves in the top four though! Any idea what those lists look like?

the nids has like 6 lictors, some flyrants, and spore clusters, not sure what else.

I'd be curious to know what that SW list is.

Current finals matchup list:

Sean Nayden looks just like a General Zod's mute henchmen in the old Christopher Reeves Superman II.

I love you

Looks like Nick Rose is going to win the semi round with Primary Kill Points, First Blood, Linebreaker and Warlord.

Seconded. Really impressed with the Twitch feed came out very nice.

'Nids go to finals! The list.

So he beat the eldar list shown next to his, right? (Which seems to be the type of list he built "lictorshame" to be able to handle)

Who is he facing in the finals?

Darkwynn (Nick Rose) who's running a bunch of scouts and such.

Its Nayden/Lictorshame vs Nick Rose (Darkwynn)/Scouts and pods.

And yeah lictorshame tabled a lynx on skyshield and 4 serpents list. Lynx killed two mawlocs with D but lictors + flyrants wittled away at serpents.

The finals lists.

So how does lictorshame work? I don't really understand how it won that.

The Flyrants were the stars really. The tyrant guard wrecked face as well. Mawlocs got work in. Lictors were kind of a filler in the semi final.

600 viewers watching live. Pretty cool.

Also, since no one has noted it yet, this match up (Nick v. Sean) already happened in an earlier round with Nick pulling it out. Should be interesting to see if Sean learned anything from the previous match up he can use now.

Nice log Tyler making it to the top 4 and Matt for missing top 8 by 1 stinking point.

Bugs win!

Wow Nayden pulled out the W. Incredible
