A great day of gaming. Faced three armies that I had not seen on the table before, which perhaps shows the real benefit of the format. I liked the points level.
The spread of missions benedited and rewarded different builds, which is a good thing. The bonus points are a great idea, but perhaps instead of getting a point for being in centre of the battlefield a point for being the model securing the enemy objective or something that pushed you over the top for mission points. Still, the focus on the Warlord was cool!
Terrain was good on the tables I played - cover and LOs blockers to open up the tactical playbook.
To make the lists different than the Club Champs, perhaps put some extra restrictions. No Battalions or Brigades and a two detachment limit. This would bring out the exotic stuff. A flat CP budget for everyone (6 or so) would enable some shenanigans while putting the focus on the warlord.
So a great day and thanks for running it!

Great tournament lots of fun.
Had great opponents all very sport man like while they were winning or losing. Always one of my favorite tournaments of the year.
My only thing would be that the nexus page said your painting score would be on your warlord. But the sheets said did you like the armies theme and paintings and such.
Small thing was just curious on the change.

...yes good call... I meant to specify on the fun factor page that it was the warlord and his painted friends...

Had alot of fun as well. Seeing some vindicares in action though I can't help but feel they are op. One model can change the game so easily with so many benefits it seems crazy, also for 85 points.

1) Thanks to Shannon, Mike, and Allie (and any helper elves) for another great event!
2) Enjoyed the range of missions.
3) Thanks to my opponents for enjoyable games.
4) Vindicares really are really a roll of the dice unit. Cheap but effectiveness is unreliable.

Well, I had a great time. Gabriel died almost every match (except round 2), but killed every opponent warlord, so he did cool stuff. Thanks Shannon for putting together another great one!

Cheap but effectiveness is unreliable. Must respectfully disagree, if you have a always hitting on 2 cant be modified, always wounding infantry on 2. Does not get much better for killing marines and others. |

Does not get much better for killing marines and others. A vindicare can be super good. But they can be almost useless also Vs certain armies. Genesteal cults, nids and knights to name a few. But yes many armies they can be very nasty. |

Genestealer cult relies on its characters for buffs I believe (dont play them so...), so dangerous to them still, and even tyranids have 3 hq which have the infantry key word always wounded on 2. I cannot argue with knights but still.

oh 1cp plus 85 points to get whichever assassin you want tailored to your opponent is pretty over the top in my opinion (as a xenos/chaos player who doesn't get that option) but to be honest, having played against vindicares several times with gsc they weren't very difficult to counter with that army at least
