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.

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.

It is time for an upgrade to the LVO 40K trophy!

With the help of the excellent digital sculptor Nate Books (Art Station page) we decided that it was time to retire the old polygon Elvis and give him a slight upgrade. 

We started up with a digital sculpt that was then split up into smaller pieces that then could be printed.

Once everything was cut up I moved to printing. I printed it on a Peoploly Moai UV laser resin 3d printer. It makes great prints that are easy to take right to painting without much post processing. 

This picture is of the build plate with the part still attached and all the support structure.

And some of the parts with supports cleaned up and parts washed and cured.

And all put together with a marine for scale. This thing is massive! It will be getting a red/gold Khorne color scheme paint job. I will update once I start getting some paint on it.
