Eagles games in bellingham. Vulkan lists seem to be doing well everywhere. I really have to credit my inquisitor w/mystics they are the only reason I was able to get a draw the second game and still be in the running. Also Karma my Inquisitors Storm Bolter caused the last wound on a lord of change helping to even up the Kill Points at the last sec

What store was this? I won Games & Gizmos with a Vulkan list and will be playing the 2nd round at Ernie's Games in Woodinvile.

Don't forget the fantastic looking Chimeras were assembled by yours truly. :)

It is a tough nut to crack though-- the army is good at just about every part of the game; really a swiss army knife.

I was surprised to not see any Orks at our Round 1 (was at the fine tournament run by Bigred). I think it was probably 25% IG, 25% Marines, 25% Chaos Marines, 15% Nids and the rest other.

No Eldar, No WH/DH, No Daemons, No Tau.

Sounds like everyone in Austin had fun.

Only two places here in Houston ran the Ard Boys and one was a GW store. They got told the day before by higher ups that they couldnt run it as an official qualifier as ard boys was going to be independent retail only this year. We still ran the event but those that placed cant advance.
That left only 1 place in the intire Houston area that people could try to play at, and they were full up already. Still had a great time, the local GW staff ran the event anyway and it was awesome,
Money armies were Eldar1, my Deathwing2 (huray 19kp for mission 2!), and Tau3.

Yes, stealing the initiative is pretty much pants in 40k.

I would enjoy the game much more if that rule was removed somehow.

I'm guessing there will be close to 50% guard at the regional tournaments.

We had 26 people show up at our store with a WIDE variety of armies.

I came in second with Tau - 3 massacres and 8 bonus points, only second :(

1st place - Jetbike Eldar
2nd place - Hybrid Tau (me)
3rd place - Mech IG

Speaking of Dark Eldar, I had to face a list of ravagers, raiders, and witches in the final round. Stole the initiative and my missle pods, railguns, etc just tore his vehicles apart. It got close in the middle when a couple made it into my lines, but by the end he didn't have anything left on the board.

You need something like Epic-uk.co.uk which has all the UK Epic results plugged in and a horde of the army lists. Would be great if something like BoLS did it with anyone able to enter lists and results.

While I have no shortage of armies or opponents (via GEG), I may take you up on your offer. I am actually in Roseville, and playing once in a while in Citrus Heights beats having to drive into Sac Town. Shoot me a message through my facebook account.

I won first in MD with my guard list. 2nd was a crimson fist marines, and 3rd was nob bikers. Outflanking chimeras was a great success, though my favorite thing was the deathstrike missle. It was phenominal. 1 shot in the second misson killed 2 vindicators, 1 landraider (which was transporting vulkan and th/sh termies) and 1 dp.

In the Pacific NW in Washington Dark Eldar took first with 72 points and lost a total of 18 models combined between all three rounds! IG took second with a mega mech list and flash git orks took third from a guy who hasn't played 40K in almost 10 years! It was amazing to see this guy win after not playing for so long. All in all a great day and had a lot of fun!

At my LGS it was
MEch eldar
Vulkan Marines
My mech Guard

Surprisingly I was the only guard player out 20 players. There were lots of choas and spacve marines, the 2 probably accounting for half of the armies.

Why am I not surprised that Mech IG is the top contenders?

We had a fun showing up here in NW Washington. Our top 3 were Eldar (eldrad with dual seer councils on bikes), Deamons ( My list with fate weaver) and SM (Vulcan). It was a pretty good day. It was the first time I had run Fate weaver and he is silly. Had a good time and it should be cool to head down to Seattle for the regionals
