Adepticon 2012 BFG Tournament Ranking and Lists

[Vaaish]

interesting to see Marines take first. ALso interesting to see a fleet very similar to my primary IN fleet in there.

[afterimagedan]

I was thinking the same.

[sunnyside]

So if I understand correctly, the Craftworld Eldar player would have done the best on the tabletop, they just lost out on painting or something.

Also, no necron at all.

Some interesting lists there. I like the top Imperial fleet alot!

Here is the Marine list: http://sg.tacticalwargames.net/forum...p?topic=4404.0
And yeah, I dubbed that IN list the Vaaish build. He performed well but I do think Dauntless are a better choice then his Endurances.
But hey, I promoted your build as a good alternative choice in various forums.

He lost the last match according the coverage.

You should mention that that list is all inclusive. Tactic wise the results where CWE in second tied:

1. W, W, W - Ultramarines
2. W, L, W - Nurgle Chaos
2. W, D, L - Yellow Tyranids
2. L, D, W - Word Bearers Chaos
5. W, W, L - Red Imperial Navy

10. L, D, D - IN (Ringer)

For the tournament all key factors are important. For us forum people the most interesting is fleet build, tactics and results.

I wonder who the red IN lost to...

[sunnyside]

Wait, so are those not the top ten so much as they are THE ten? As in adepticon had an open BFG tourney, and only ten people wanted to play?

[horizon]

Yeah sunnyside, that's it. BFG'ers love their own attic more.

j/k BFG is worldwide and I ain't near Adepticon.

I wonder who the red IN lost to...

here:

afterimagedan @ sg:
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?

[Vaaish]

Ah, cool. interesting.

[afterimagedan]

The Craftworld Eldar player was doing really well in his games but I think his fleet was the least well painted. It just seemed like he had only done the bare minimum to be in the tournament. I have the packet with the rules and scenarios if you guys want me to scan them up.

[sunnyside]

So I guess this makes Imperial Escort squadrons not look so good. Though I followed around the link for the scenario pack and I suppose the regular scenarios have more love for escorts.

Interesting, I did not know there BFG tournaments. Are there any in England?
