Can I say "trust me, I loose GTs all the time?"
I know it was my dice that got me it, so I just ended up cheering my own demise on. Alden came and watched my third game and both him AND my opponent couldn't stop laughing at trying to visualize what was actually happening in game. I just started taking bets on what results I would get on warpstorms, if I would perils myself out of flying, etc. All my games were just comedies of errors.
Anyhow, the thing to remember with barrage hits is that all wounds count as coming from where the first marker landed. Nothing has changed, some people just have never faced many wyverns or thunderfires in 6th and 7th apparently.

Well, you got your wish Craig, you got to see the daemon army, now it is going to be buried somewhere for a long while to think about what it did this weekend. I'll still have boobs for days, just for you, however. Depends on which army I decide to finish next, my Chaos Sisters or my regular Sisters. The regular ones seem like they could be a ton of fun, so much melta!

we should also congratulate Gnile Wallkyr for making it to table 3 in the final round. Really impressive for your first Da'boyz bro. If only you had the paint score to match.

Proud of you Mr. Walker. Now get that army painted!!!

On a side note: If you roll a hit on a barrage weapon you can place it on any previously placed markers. I everyone of my opponents argue with me on this. And all there responses where they must have changed it from 6th. when in reality it was the exact same way. I don't recall this. As I use a lot of barrage myself and know this is how it works.

Sorry chris you got lumped in with everyone, sound better. 4 out of my 5 opponents argued with me on this. Although I did learn some new things, artilery cant assault if you still have an artilery model

The problem with the Sportsmanship scores are that a lot of the out of towners know each other very well. They tend to score one another very well in sportsmanship - or maybe he just changed his playstyle and is a really chill guy...

just counted. only 10 people got a higher sportsmanship score. I've played him before that doesn't seem possible.
Navanti, Sparks, Chester all got a 20-22 on sports. If Kopach did too he would have been in 4th.
All I would like to do is win one of these things in my lifetime, that leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Well, this was my worst finish since 2010 but I really have no major complaints.
My list design was pretty one dimensional without a single ranged weapon unless I rolled shooting rewards or witchfires. This actually caused an auto-loss in game #3 as units that didn't shoot or assault counted as destroyed. My opponent reserved everything and came in piecemeal as far from my units as possible causing me to split my army and make moves that would normally be stupid in an attempt to get assaults off.
My dice in 2 games were horrid, which I normally don't complain about, but this was special. In game #4 vs pure sisters, I had a DP with "reroll failed invulns" reward, "4+ FnP" reward, and Iron Arm for t8 against 20 sisters w/ krak grenades. They hit on 5's, wound on 6's, and I get a 5+, 5+, 4+ saves and they beat him lol. My beasts were throwing 12 attack dice hitting on 4's and got 2 successes every round of combat and also lost. I also caused 3/4 wounds on my second DP same game with a terrible warp storm and leadership test.
I got food poisoning Friday night and my wife got it Saturday night (I think Craig and Christina got it too), but despite all of this I would consider it one of the most fun events for me.
I never hit the top tables so there wasn't a lot of pressure on me and I didn't have to face the toughest lists or the questionable characters. I had a lot of fun with Erich in the team event as well.
For the first time in many years, I didn't feel burned out on the drive home and don't feel the need to shelf the hobby for a while. I actually busted out the Tau and got a suit nearly fully painted yesterday.
As usual, the TO team and all their help were stellar and I truly appreciate those who give up playing to run the event.
