KillagoreFaceslasha Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Exactly what it says on the tin, was wondering whether we do know the results from adepticon or when they'll post them (or when they usually post them). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleboda Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I know our team took 57th out of 65 or so in the team tournament! ? Great paint and sports scores, but miserable battle score. Ah well. Next time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gauche Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Would like to see some lists since the Masters Event only had one restriction that I disagreed with and also had Best General Awards. Haven't been able to find any though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Results will be posted on Tuesday or so on the Adepticon page is what I was told. Here is the top sheet for the 2-day AOS GT: I don't have all the exact lists. I know what Kaleb Walters, who won best overall, was running since I lost to him on Table 2 in Round 5. Kaleb had an 18 sky fire/LOC/Kairos/TzShaman/Gaunt Summoner/30 Marauder list. He said he had tabled his other 4 opponents with an hour or more to spare. Shaun Clarke (#2) was running a 12 snake TK list (I think the same one used to win the UK masters). Rhellion (Brad) was running a mixed-Destruction Beastclaw list, David Griffon and Mitch Cowan both had mixed Undead lists, and Dan Heelan had his Sylvaneth. The individual that narrowly beat me for Best Chaos general had a mixed Khorne list I believe. Not sure on the handful of others in the top 10. I premiered my Nurgle Mortal Plaguetouched list to the great confusion of many who saw me on Table 2 in round 5. Hopefully all the lists will go up in the next couple days.

I just got into the game recently and a lot of my painted 1k list contained units that came out after Feb 23rd. The rules on the Adepticon site say the following "New rules and units that are released by February 23rd, 2017 will be allowed in this event. Any new rules or units released after this date WILL NOT be allowed in this event." Not sure why these models were allowed if expressly prohibited online. Congrats to Ben and if they let him play with them than that is not his fault. The TO and Adepticon website should have stuck with what it said though, I would have been there otherwise.

KillagoreFaceslasha Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 I think because the rules of the units were released prior to that date. Just my two cents and me wanting now to magpie the birdies and chocobos colours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also great tactical choice of units by Ben for a Vanguard-type game played on a 48"x72" board... One of Ben's game was shown on Warhammer TV - the Vanguards' aetheric move ability is so much more potent when they have the space - they could basically position themselves anywhere they wanted on the field.

Stauderpower Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Really good to see all 4 factions in the top 4. Shows in larger events that each faction can compete and do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleboda Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 None of our opponents' lists seemed extreme to me. Plenty of "and factor" but nothing rage-worthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauche Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 From the little information the DoT list looks hard as nails, and probably Destruction as well. Very interested to see the lists though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayniac Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Isn't Ben Johnson a GW staff member? (I know he does stuff for White Dwarf as he's always appearing in battle reports and such). If so, they allow staff to participate in a tournament? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Aquillor Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I'm fine with staff playing, however, I am still a bit confused as to why certain units were permitted on his list but prohibited from the tournament per the rules. Models not released before February 23rd were not allowed, yet the winning list has multiples of them. Hmm... I wonder if this was just an oversight or the TO just didn't care. *Seriously biased though as I had my raptors painted and live a couple hours a way. , admittedly biased* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swarmofseals Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I have to admit, as much as I tell myself not to put much weight on single tournament results I'm really bummed at how poorly non-TK death did, especially given that the rumored death-aelves (who may not even be death aligned) didn't make an appearance.

Yeah, I know what you mean. For the AM Vanguard tourney, I won best Death General but came in 20 overall. My list was a mixed Grand Alliance with zero TK models. It was actually a hard (but very fun!) Tourney using Death. It was also my first ever tourney. Hopefully I'll put on a better competitive list next year.- Cedric Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
