There were 24 people at the location I went to.
1 Dark Eldar 2 Orcs 2 Eldar 2 Tyranids 2 Chaos Space Marines 2 Grey Knights 2 Codex Space Marines 1 Black Templar 1 Dark Angel 3 Space Wolves 3 Blood Angels 1 Daemons 2 Guard
The top 3 tables for the third game were :
Grey Knights vs Space Wolves Orcs vs Tyranids Grey Knights (me) vs Guard
1st place was Space wolves 2nd place was Guard 3rd place was Orcs 4th was Tyranids 5th was Grey Knights 6th was Demons
Overall it was a pretty decent split, 1st 2nd and 3rd place were each 1 point away from eachother at 62, 61 and 60 points respectively. No one player got 3 massacre wins, so it was interesting to say the least.

The top table builds as far as army lists were :
Grey Knights had a kind of haphazardly put together units with a mix of Strike Squads, Interceptors, Paladins and Purifiers with a GM and Librarian with the Paladins in a LRC. Kind of surprised he did as well as he did, but he was given the Daemon player for the 2nd game...
Space wolves was stereotypical Grey Hunter spam with Njal, 2 Wolf lords on Thunderwolves, 2 Lone wolves in terminator armor with TH/SS, Wolf guard srgts for the grey hunter units and 3 units of long fangs.
Orcs was Battlewagon spam, with Gaz, lots of nobs / burnas and buggies.
Tyranids was Stealer shock with a Fexstar (had a tyrant and another MC in the unit with 2 Dakkafexes) and two Tervigons with gaunts so they were all troops, and two Trygons iirc. He was really tearing people up.
I was Purifier spam, as you all know.
The Guard player was stereotypical leafblower with as much STR 10 barrage templates as he could fit in, 3 Vendettas and a bunch of guard squads with plasma / melta mix in chimeras.
Of the other ones I saw :
Deathwing Dark Angels, Landraider spam Black Templars, Fatecrusher Daemons, Salamander marines, Another leafblower guard list.
And each of the Blood Angel lists were rather odd and not very competitive IMO. Dreadspam, Sanguinary guard spam with Storm Ravens, and Death Company spam... Very sad how poorly the BA were represented in this one competition wise.
But yeah, all of the space wolf players were the same boring build with grey hunters, long fangs and Njal. Both guard were leafblowers and both orcs were Battlewagon Deffrolla spam. The top contenders were playing the same old internet lists everyone complains about for the most part, but it was Ard Boyz! So there ya go.
Also got an email from Guy, he didn't place though he won two of his games. He had some really bad dice throughout which doesn't surprise me, he has some bad luck streaks with those Lascannons.

I'm just gonna guess that it wasn't you who got the grey knight 5th place but just to be curious was it you???

Nice to see you had a variety of armies at your location.

Don't suppose you know what the Dark Eldar player fielded?

Not sure on his HQ choices, but from what I say it was usual raider spam list with 3 ravagers. Didn't play him or really watch his games at all sadly. I'm wishing I had... though it seems like he didn't do all that hot in either case.
And no garret, I would have been 6th place if I didn't give the guard guy full points, didn't feel like disputing it because we were both contesting a lot of stuff and he only had 1 more terrain piece claimed then I did (due to contesting.)
