I know right, the prize support we win that we paid for....lol!

It's not about the winnings, it's about sending a message young Lorgar.

My prediction. Winner will be an Al(l)an, Geoff, Nick, Doug, Cooper, or Liz.

My hope is a complete outsider, dark shadow, Sisters of Battle CAD no allies player take it all.

I am pulling for a cool army. Go Lizzie !

I don't know who's going to take it this year, but my personal goal is to make it to Sunday.

BTW, I'm feeling the itch to write again. What better time to kick it off than the LVO?

Good luck Jim !

@Hotsauce

Gah, no one was supposed to see that! haha

@Tinkrr

Lorgar?!?! That's pistols at 10 paces, sir!

@Jim

We'd love to have any articles from you, buddy! If you do one of yoru awesome write-ups for Dakka, do you also want to post it on FLG? Those are great bat reps.

@Thread

Soooooooo close! Only 7 days till we are in the hall setting up! It's crazy at the shop and studio, everyone's running around like mad people getting ready. Going to be awesome.

My personal goal is to make Top 8 as well.

I'm so stoked. See you all soon.

I hope i play you J just so i can be featured on an article, even though ill probably lose lol

Question for the thread, this is my first large out of town GT, what do I need to bring with me other than army, dice, rules, lists etc?

@jy2 still owes me a write up from last year. But I'm willing to give him a mulligan.

Water bottle, though the venue provides a bar (last year, anyway), and water, but there were points when that got tapped out and there wasn't water for a while.

Last year, you gave the cash to two ... candy-stripers? Two nice gals who gave you a ticket, which the bartenders gave you a drink for. Bring cash bills for tips.

Aspirin or your favorite hangover remedy. For both mornings. It is Vegas.

Pen and pencil. Post Its for quickie rules-markers for Psy-powers used during the game, if you don't have psy-cards.

**Snacks inna bag. Peanuts, banana, jerky. Proteins are better than carbs ... a least from my drinking beer point of view. Srsly.**

See Reece's post below on not bringing food or drink into the venue.

Comfiest shoes you own.

Deodorant.

Camera. You're likely to see some really well painted, bad-assed armies. Hunt down Obadiah Hampton, Israel Sanchez's Tau and Mike Fox's orks, among others.

I wish I could Write, maybe I will do a write up on the Trip LoL

Quick rules question came up when I was finalizing my list - can a riptide take the earth caste pilot array (ECPA) anymore? It's likely an FAQ item, as the ECPA is a signature system and riptides in the new book cannot take signature systems - however it's a signature system for riptides (allows rerolls of the nova reactor).

RAW I think it's a no (no sig system allowance), RAI is likely a yes (its a riptide-sig system). Just want to know so I don't show up with a potentially illegal upgrade - either way is understandable.

Thanks!

I'm looking forward to seeing the top Necron lists and stealing good ideas from them

Will lists be available after the tournament or will we have to scrounge around for second hand recollections?

Brother Ereokse's list was solid except there is not outside food and beverage allowed int he halls per Vegas hotel policy.

@Target

We read it as only O'Vesa gets the ECPA this edition.

@Requizen

We will post the top 8 lists on Saturday after we determine finalists!

Soak long sleeves in vodkas then suck on them. It works well.

Got it, thanks

Wait, you where saying when it first came out it was obvious that the riptides would ECPA. Why the change of heart?

Alright, but if I win I get ownership of Frontline and custody rights of France-Waaaagh!

SOOOO many things have to go just right in order to make Sunday... matchups, initiative, lucky D shots, hangover mitigation.... You just have to go in planning to celebrate the hobby. If you're lucky you'll have 6 cool opponents. Or maybe a chance to continue your undefeated streak against JimY!

I'm looking forward to making it to Sunday. Gotta be confident in yourself.

Sure thing! I actually took a break and stopped writing for a while, but when I get back into it, I'll definitely do it in a format that will be appropriate for FLG.

Hope to see you there, that is, if you're going.

You can do it! You've been on a roll as of late.

We gotta play each other one of these days. Maybe it'll be at the LVO. Good luck!

Your War Convo looks scary. You might be able to kick my arse if we play. But no matter, I'm sure we'll have a fun time rolling dice.

Haha....I had one of the biggest brain farts when I played against your army. I definitely owe you one, both a report and a rematch. Hope we can play again. Cheers!

Man, East Coast/Midwest is kicking my arse. Next time I play against them, I'm sitting down. Lol.

BTW, great game at NOVA, even if my arse is still red from over there.

@jy2: That was a classic brain fart but we all have those moments. Maybe we'll get paired up this year. Are you bringing PenTyrant again?

its all getting a bit real now. Last day in the UK tomorrow then we'll have to see if there's some kind of entertainment in this Las Vegas place ;P

25% chance that I will bring bugs. I'm feeling a little chaotic lately. Heh heh....

One thing about brain fart moments is the double doocey... Your opponent f's up then you get overconfident and make an even bigger mistake. I've seen it happen and account it to game pressure.

So silly question but what is the standard table size for a ITC 40k game, it's like 4x6 or 4x8?

4x6' . And, likely, as was with BAO (and last year's LVO?), all tables will be on FAT mats, which makes for a lots less dice chasing to the floor.

Tinkrr, have you been to a tourney that used 4x8 foot?
