Nice, keep us updated!

Red, IN = the Vaaish Imperial fleet build aside of the Endurance. Vaaish uses Dauntless. Interesting to see how this one will fare.

Green, IN = almost classic build.

Orks are gimmickish. Meh on the fleet build style.

CWE: allround, would've had a cruiser instead of escorts

Ultramarines = curious again

Chaos green, red&silver : what is this Murder love? Carnages needed. ;)

Seriously missing a competitve Corsair Eldar and Tau list.

Keep us posted! thanks,

Yes its odd that there's no Tau or CE I'm surprised to not see any real power cheese, maybe that's a good thing tho as these all seem like they could be fluff driven fleets for the most part, even the Ork fleet is something that I would expect to be fluffy. It would be nice to see fleet pics along with their backstory.

The Ork fleet is.... odd. I don't really like the Kroozer/Rok mix personally. I prefer to use one or the other, and escorts with either. The Red/Gold chaos is a little competitive, otherwise nothing too bad.

Red IN: Leland had two really good games in the beginning, so much so, I thought he may have been able to win it. I think his success was from clustering his fleet. He ended up engaging half fleets with his whole because his opponents would split them up a bunch. I am not sure what happened in the 3rd game vs Green Chaos (never caught his name) but he struggled. Seahawk, you played the Green Chaos player. Do you remember his name?

Ok.  TO here.  I finally got home a couple hours ago and am a little more coherent. 

I apologize for the time confusion during the day.  That being said, I really wish that the Necromunda guys the night before hadn't been spread all over the room and making it impossible for me to completely do the early prep the night before.

That being said.  The Final Scores. 

Name:                            Battle Final           Sports Final                     Painting Final                       Overall                        Transport Flotilla
                                                                   Includes Fav Op votes    Includes Fav Fleet Votes                                         Only Judge points here.
David Bisplinghoff          30                         21                                    26                                       77                               8
Noble Diven                   33                         22                                    26                                        81                               10
Joe Freeland                  21                         21                                    22                                        64                              7
Leland Gross                  33                         23                                    23                                       79                              6
Andrew Karolus             50                          21                                   29                                        100 Best Overall        12
Myles Leggette              30                         23                                    28                                        81                               10 Best Flotilla
Andrew Raatz                32                         22                                   27                                         81                             8
Ted Rostkowski Jr.          29                        19                                   30   Best Painted                  78                             8
Matthew Shularick          41   Best Admiral  21                                  15                                          77                             0


Overall I hope you guys enjoyed the tournament.  A somewhat dead local group has curtailed my playtesting of the scenarios a bit.  Also I think we'll be doing some tweaking to the scoring for next year.  I will add Player's Choice votes to the transports for next year.  I also plan on trying to replace all the planets with some of those Core Sec Engineering planets I had the sample of today.

Thanks all. :)

That last list should've had the fleets added. ;)

Well done Seahawk.

Good to see Red IN (Vaaish build) hold up well.

There's some good looking fleets there, it's interesting to see almost no gw transports it actually looks like two people brought the same firestorm armada frigates as transports :P.
