BLACKOUT IV - Results & Feedback

Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

A little later than planned but here is the full breakdown of results for the event;

BLACKOUT2019Results.jpg

Tiebreaks in order were; Hidden Agenda Points > Sports votes > Kill Points. I was really satisfied with the way the Hidden Agenda scoring played out and I’m pleased to see that EGGS has adopted this method of scoring. It allowed the top three to be divided without need for any (sometimes) controversial tiebreaks!

At some point I will do a PDF of all the lists, but honestly it’s not going to be until the week after next. I’ve returned from the event to a LOT of work! 

So....here are the winners;

1st Place Overall - James Tinsdale - Idoneth Deepkin

2nd Place Overall - Bryan Carmichael - Hedonites of Slaanesh @Bryan C

3rd Place Overall - Ben Johnson - Hedonties of Slaanesh @Ben Johnson

Best In Alliance Trophies were done off highest Kill Points for each. I do this to spread the prizes but it didn’t particularly work out this year with 3 of them going to the highest places anyway (only Death went lower). I will re-evaluate these awards for next year  

Best In Alliance; Destruction -  @Malakree - Ironjawz

I’d be interested in any feedback for the event. Both in terms of the pack, battleplans etc and anything relevant to the venue as I can refer it to Firestorm direct. 

Thanks again to everyone for attending and to @Forestreveries & @Rob Ellis for taking on the paint judging (and again to Aaron for presenting the trophies in the pics whilst I posed in my jazzy shorts) - the first time I’ve ever truly relinquished control of anything at one of my events haha 😅

Obviously big shout out to Firestorm as well for their great venue and staff.

See you next time!

It was a great event. I had lots of fun. Missions, realms and stuff were fine and overall it was a great experience. 

Only two issues for me. One was the general heat inside the venue, it was sweltering. Not sure what could be done to help with that, maybe free drinks 😜.

The other was the best in alliance awards, which is basically going to always be going to the latest grossness at the time. Playing pure spooky bedsheets (none of that LoG garbage 😂) I'm under no illusion of getting anywhere near the top half of the overall results, and playing a weaker faction it means it's impossible to even compete for best in alliance when newer books are always going to be getting those results that puts them higher up the standings. I wouldn't expect trophies or anything, but it's nice to be able to get some recognition that you are the best at your particular faction for that event, rather than being another meta chaser or something. (disclaimer: I wasn't the top ghost player btw, I lost that accolade to my friend by a mere 6pts 😂).

@Chris Tomlin are the lists available somewhere?

EDIT: nvm, missed the sentence about you releasing them a week after/when you got time. Just really interested in what the top 3 Khorne players brought and what to expect from the new faction to beat (HoS).
