pretre Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Looks like AP, KAPCom and MrMoreTanks are doing well. Mikhail Lenin must have taken a loss or draw, not sure how the number works. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pretre Posted July 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Looks like Alan (Pajama Pants) won the whole thing with Daemons. Grats to all the locals who went down. I'd love to hear any details from you guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikhailLenin Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Yeah, I took a minor loss on Round 1 to a necron player he had 6 objective secure warriors on his home objective from turn 3 on and they managed to survive 1 turn of shooting and 6 rounds of close combat. Then on the last turn of the game his veil cryptek manage to deep strike on my home objective swinging the game 9-1 my way to 7-5 his way. I manage to crawl and fight my way through the event to finish 7th at the end. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapel Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 I was checking out some of the coverage of the Bay Area Open, and noticed something odd...I'd noticed it at the Guardian Cup when I played up in Portland near the end of may too.How is it (and why) that an army is classified, lets say Dark Eldar....when 1300pts worth of the army are actually Eldar? I noticed quite a few armies listed as this or that, but actually was a majority of an allied combined arms detachment from a completely different faction.Just curious, because I haven't figured out any kind of classification rule for this sort of thing.

Just curious, because I haven't figured out any kind of classification rule for this sort of thing. It's one of those misleading statistics that they like to collect for events. It's also related to past 40k, where the faction/codex name reflected the entire army. It's one of those things, like playing 40k on a 4'x6' table, which is tradition more than anything.

WestRider Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 It's not quite the same as table size. Table size can actually have a pretty major effect on the relative value of things like Blasts and Assault Units, but how you determine Faction doesn't really matter.

Completely agree that table size has a large impact on the game, but it's certainly a tradition as the current 40k rules and missions do not require that size table.

WestRider Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 In part because appropriate table size varies with the Points Level of the Game, but 6x4 is good for the most common Tournament levels (1500-2K). I'd also note that there are a few implications from GW that 6x4 is the "default", including the diagrams of the various Deployment Types (it's not labeled, but from the distances that are marked, they're pretty clearly 6x4s), and the fact that the basic Realm of Battle set comes with tiles for a 6x4. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapel Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Yea so this has nothing to do with table size. But when you win best "Dark Eldar" faction at a tourney, and only 350pts of your army are Dark Eldar.... Well that's absurd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh, but as a clever Archon... using slave races and our weak cousins to do all the dying while you take all the credit? That's just good sense. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are planning on voting on it for next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainA Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 I went 3-2, so better than last year! My two losses were rather hillarious bouts of misluck. Had a great roadtrip with the corvallis crew, except for getting food poisoning/dehydtrated Sunday night. Woot. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez pax, I get that you don't like the ITC. But so many of your comments are so negative and come off as rude. They are waiting to finish this year's ITC, which ends at LVO 2016, and are going to put it up for a vote for next season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh...didn't intend that at all. It sounded very much like one of those PR things that is a fancy way of saying nothing. I find those amusing. Wasn't attacking the ITC at all there, just found the comment you posted amusing. The plan is to vote on a plan.... In an Archer episode, Archer's plan is to, "Crowd source a plan." Very similar, I thought. Also funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
