40kGT Final - Results

Phew! Well the final is done and congrats to Josh Roberts on 1^st place with beast-star.

List-Fu: 1650pts SW+IG+INQ for GT Final

CMON, Beamo (GW)

I thought I'd put up the list that I'm working on for the 40k GT finals in March. This list has developed from the thinking behind this post and the following discussions on Total Immersion and at the club, so thanks to everyone who contributed their thoughts (Coyote, hornywingythingy and Jamie in particular).
As usual, this is intended to be a take-on-all-comers list but it is worth nothing that this list has not been designed to deal with Lords of War, S:D weapons or AV15, as these have been banned from the final.

Food For Thought: How Far is Too Far?

How far are you willing to go to win a game? This is the excellent question that Spicerack has asked over on 40k War Zone today. 

This is an easy one for me. Cheating is too far. Everything else with in the rules is fair game on one condition - that both players are truly playing to win based on the rules.

40kGT Heat 2

Last weekend I attended my second tournament of the year, Heat 2 of the 40kGT in Brighton. Having managed to place in the top ten in July at another tournament at Brighton I was hoping that my refined list would help me into the top half to qualify for the national finals in March. I'll leave it to the other DoG guys to fill you in on how they did, but let's just say one of us did very well!

CONCEPTS: Spam

Hmmm... Spam...

A quick note before we launch into the main post - The 'CONCEPTS:' series is intended to be a range of articles analysing and discussing certain commonly used (and sometimes misunderstood) terms and army building techniques, such as Balance, Redundancy and Duality. I have built up my understanding of these concepts from a large variety of different sources and I certainly do not claim to be the originator of these various ideas! I find writing the articles helps me clarify my own thinking, and so they are directed at myself as much as anyone else. Anyway, onto the main event!

A New Challenger Approaches...

Hi everyone, Sentinel here from Total Immersion Wargaming (aka Mike Terry). Having played some great games against Mike and Steve at the recent Brighton Singles Tournament and met the other guys too, Mike asked if I'd be interested in contributing to the Death or Glory blog. As you've already guessed, I said yes!

I'm interested in competitive 40k, and really enjoy reading and writing about strategy and the concepts behind the game. I like to think about things like playstyle, the risks of netlisting, analyzing the pros and cons of comp in competitive tournaments and a whole bunch of other topics along these lines.
