The Las Vegas Open 2020 events have come to a close! After getting home and going right back to work, I’m finally getting the recap and stats together.
I want to thank everyone that came out to play and made it such a great event, my bestest Judge Will-5, and all the helpers without whom this would not be possible.

Over the weekend we had three heats of qualifiers, Finals, a three-person team tournament, Who’s the Boss, Spell Draft, and some MonPoc!

Heat 1 Champions qualifiers:
Chris Dancocks -Grymkin
Shawn Hopkins -Skorne
Dave Bergstrom- Infernals
Tucker Jackson- Infernals
Bret Fogel -Grymkin

Heat 2 qualifiers:
Travis Marg -Infernals
Quin Z -Skorne
Branden Owens -Cygnar
Danny Modesto- Menoth
Gareth Antle -Menoth
Todd Ensley -Retribution

Heat 3 qualifiers:
Ben Fitch -Crucible Guard
Cory Doyle -Cygnar
Mark Ewanec -Infernals
Aleksander Ornaf -Infernals
Kevin Rogers -Mercenaries

Finals came around Sunday Morning. After four hard fought rounds, David Bergstrom came out the winner, going undefeated the whole weekend! He won a $500 plane flight to the event of his choice (LVO, L&L, WFW), a spot on the WTC America Team, a bunch of WFW points, Iron Gauntlet points, and everyone taking inspirations from his lists!

I can’t wait to see everyone again at LVO 2021!

Below you can see each round’s pairings, final standings, and army lists.

Conflict Chamber Lists can be viewed at https://conflictchamber.com/?event=1153
Notes on Conflict Chamber Lists
-Battle Priests are allocated differently in actual lists. CC has an error with unit allocation and free points.
-Todd Ensley lists: replaces Narn and Sentinel Scyir with Scyth. Scyth is not in CC at this time.
-Kevin Rogers list; Jakes jack is a Toro instead of what is listed in CC
-Brandon Owens; Add Order of Illumination Resolutes (min) 8 and Battle priestsx3 0(6) to his list.

Here is a step by step tutorial of the build for the Grymkin themed finials table at Las Vegas Open 2018.

First off I want to thank everyone that came to this year's Las Vegas Open and made it such an amazing event. Without you guys it would never be so great. Also a huge thanks to all my Judges, PG's and helpers that made everything run smoothly and helped me keep my sanity over the weekend.

There was an amazing turn out this year and FAT matts as far as the eye can see. 

Over the weekend we recorded a bunch of games and RFP Pressganged the Frontline Gaming streaming rig into the service of the Dragon Father. 

(Yes this is 40k, but it is what the stream set up looks like)

You can view the streamed games at http://www.twitch.tv/frontlinegaming_tv/profile

The RFP grudge matches are here starting at 10:46:00 http://www.twitch.tv/frontlinegaming_tv/v/41395284

The interview with William Hungerford starts at 0:18:00 http://www.twitch.tv/frontlinegaming_tv/v/40990032

And the IG matches that were streamed shortly later in the VOD at 1:05:00

Big thanks to Charles (Omnus), Emanuel Class and anyone else that helped for casting the games. But I know you did it just to play with the streaming toys!
