Lord Krungharr Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I wasn't able to play this year in the big Championships; anyone know which army/list won and/or placed in the top 3 or 5? Can't seem to find anyone who knows, and I've asked 7 people who played there (they did confirm a Nurgle player was amongst the 5-0 crowd, which is pretty surprising to me, thought they were too many points now).

The Nurgle player was 4-1 and won best overall, but then their (the events) paper results seemed to be wrong and the rescinded the award a day later A lot of fallout coming from it as it means a lot of the other results could be wrong and no final standings/full results have been posted. Mods I would suggest maybe locking the thread as its a hot argument topic on twitter and this is me trying to be diplomatic about it Edited March 29, 2022 by Chumphammer 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosskelot Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Yeah BCP has it's fair share of issues but them refusing to use it and instead using their own system which then leads to such a monumental ****** up is pretty bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaskier Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 That's really troubling for such a huge event. Hopefully it gets sorted out. Just from an initial read without much context, a player winning Best Overall in a large field despite going 4-1 immediately rings some alarm bells that the rankings got messed up (unless no-one else went 5-0?)

Horizons Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 This was the 4-1 Nurgle list. Rankings and lists weren't posted online, you'd have to individually track down the top lists, that is if the players posted them online like Emma did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnith Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 There was an tweet today that they misjudged and there was a 5-0 list that took first, and Emma was second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know what scoring system they were using, but if an event uses differentials instead of W/L/D as the first criterion, it's not so strange to have a 4-1 (who, say, has gone 20-0, 20-0, 20-0, 20-0, 9-11) finish higher than a 5-0 who won all their games 11-9 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Krungharr Posted March 30, 2022 Author Share Posted March 30, 2022 They certainly do take painting and sportsmanship into account for scoring, but hard to fathom a 4-1 winning, unless the 5-0 players don't score enough VPs for all the in-game thingies like Battle Tactics, killing Monsters etc. Good to see Nurgle waxing though; love those Maggoth Lords models! Maybe I'll get one to ally with my StD army just for coolness. BCP articles on BOLS always lack the depth and any analysis I'd like, and oftentimes they don't even have the full list. But at least it's prompt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how it works elsewhere but I though who every win Best overall at these GW events would get the US open invite. She thought she won best overall in Adepticon but was told later that the other person won and she wouldn’t get the invite. But since the fault was on Adepticon, GW gave her a ticket.

Isn't there easy to use software for this kinda thing? I mean, we're all nerds, must be some computer brains in the crowd. 1/3 of the armies are 4 Battletomes. Interestingly only 7 Sons of Behemat. That new VP bonus really hosed them over, which probably why they were not so popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disciple of tzeentch being only three is the more surprising one then behemat the most of popular armies are all armies that recently got a battletome in the last year or so except for Seraphon who are just more innately strong 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gitzdee Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 I guess the lesser played armies are to be expected as they are almost all the oldest tomes at the moment. I am a bit surprised to see 7 Fyreslayers after all the thing i read here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Krungharr Posted April 4, 2022 Author Share Posted April 4, 2022 I think the Fyreslayers play about the same as they used to, but with augmented Runes and Magmadroth performance. Wonder how they did?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good rule of thumb is if a response is 100% negative or 100% positive they aren't evaluating rationally and that opinion can be safely disregarded. Once those are taken out one can look at the remainder to get an actual assessment of the release. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maogrim Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 So Orruk Warclans were the most played army? Who would have guessed? And all 4 Aelven armies combined slightly outnumber Stormcast Eternals by 1 player. Always strange to see so few Legion of the First Prince, considering they have a stunning center piece and are said to be really good.
