The custom archaon I built and painted for my roommate was stolen out his car last night outside of a game shop. Along with the rest of his slaves. If anyone sees them for sale please let me know
I'm actually feeling very confident with my selection for LVO. I feel well practiced, well studied, and we'll positioned with this list and I'd be surprised if I do poorly but hey stuff happens
Conceded turn 1 vs Ramon
Unbearable player
I'd rather concede before I hit the table than play against him ever again. It's a miserable experience and no trophy is worth it
Massively grateful for the AOS community. I've been part of many communities and this one is the best I've ever been part of. There's the sense that we see each other as human beings and there's genuine connection built at every opportunity. People. First, game second
4-1 with the fish bb
List is straight alchemist fire (stays ๐ฅ under ๐)
My strength of schedule was also through the roof as all my opponents ended up 3-2 or better
Best way to build idoneth in my opinion

There was approximately 20 women competing in AOS at LVO. Which doubled from last year. A bunch of women said they saw how we play and are signing up next year. Why? Because the misogyny level isn't awful like 40k. Maybe if y'all didn't hate women so much ๐ค๐ค๐ค
The pathetically small turnout for socal open highlights what happens when you ignore a large portion of your community and provide extremely poor prize support
#flg
The socal community is huge and we regularly have 50+ people GT's like 4 times a year here.
2 time Ottd champion
Our team was stacked as hell
17-3 total win record
Me and Shane went 5-0

Placing me, Taran, and the Noog as top in faction ITC
Lost all 3 games yesterday. Definitely felt like I played excellently r3 and R5 but just barely lost by a point
R4 was a 2 turn sweep though.
Still, feeling confident in my skills and enjoying the event alot
After talking with my partner I decided it's better for my health to not play the last day of nova. I'm In a lot of discomfort and back/leg pain. downing Ibuprofen all day isn't a good solution.
This tournament has been amazing though. Such great games and vibes
I feel like the game is at its worst state of balance since I started playing AOS
It used to be that skill > power army.
But lately it feels like 40k where skill plays second fiddle to army selection
The overwhelming power of these latest books left everyone else behind
@warhammer
@warhammercom
please make it so you can change subfactions in the AOS app rather than needing to remake the entire list. Would be a great change!
40k player vitriolic reactions to their 76% winrate armies getting nerfed speaks volumes about the community
AOS players get nerfs and most are like "good I hate when my army is the one everyone hates playing against"
Or
"Fair enough"
Currently 2-0 in OTTD teams
Kruleboyz leggo
R1 vs big Waaagh
R2 vs
@jnoahsingh1
which was an absolute nail biter of a game but I squeezed it out round 5
Esketit
One thing I'm gonna be doing this itc season is making an effort to play stronger armies
I have a long history in competition of making the best version of something bad
A perfectly refined shit sandwich
~50% winrate armies now
Time make a perfectly refined bologna sandwich
My Kruleboyz list. It feels pretty damn strong. I think there's an argument for one less unit of stabbas and putting in hobgrotz for supa sneaky shenanigans and triumph but this list feels good
Socal masters was great
What an awesome community. The top 10 players and it was all laughs and smiles. No angle shooting. No fighting. How lucky are we that we all think playing our best and growing is more important than winning.
here's my picks for whos gonna win their pods in the world championships
First up pod 1!
Phil marshal is a former world champ for one. Secondly 30 bounders are terrifying. Lastly those fanatics are such insane tech pieces in the right hands. Expecting big things from big phil
For those of you who don't follow me on other social media I was in a major car accident on Friday. So I'll likely be walking with a cane and back brace and may be lower energy than I'd like
Excited to see people though!
Ended the day 3-0
New IDK feel very well balanced
I did win some of my games hard but every single game came down purely to in-game decisions and I felt like I wasn't fighting uphill nor was I overly advantaged either
This GHB is fantastic and fun
I'm very much looking forward to the battlescroll
The game is busted right now but I actually think it's in a fantastic spot EXCEPT like 3 lists that are just way out of line
Almost everything else is In a Great spot balance wise barring some minor tweaks
Did a karaoke competition for the first time ever. I didn't make it to the finals but I'll take semifinals haha
My second song wasn't great as my voice cracked out in the final third of it from singing along to everyone else too much
My votes for the top Chaos players at this weekends
#oldtownthrowdown
#aos
Number one pick,
#noog
with his counterpunch BOC list. Every detail is tuned to the gameplan. a true master
@roz9497
2 years ago today a dear friend of mine committed suicide. He saved me when I was at my lowest. I wish I could've returned the favor. I wrote this poem to remind myself the lesson I learned from his death.
Don't scoff at AOS in your various podcasts.
I've never heard a positive mention of AOS in an FLG podcast, and I've had one of your representatives walk by my table and laugh saying "so this is competitive sigmar huh?"
Not a good look. Made me not want to come back. It matters.
Team P.I.M.P. holding it down
First place end of day 1
Mr. Bludd on Khorne (Taran
O.G. Bee Oh Cee baby (the Noog)
Big Bird on tzeentch (Shane)
And of course yours truly

@arenadecklists
Just hit diamond 1 with this no spell Temur monsters deck. basically autoloses to monored game 1 but most other matchups are quite favorable
Playing a GT next weekend with this absolute batshit spice-city list
If people wanna meta to my memehood so be it because I'm so hype I can't not share it
@arenadecklists
Climbed From low Mythic to nearly top 1000 with sultai vannifar. Deck basically loses to esper most of the time but close to 100% win rate vs any creature deck. i think i lost to selesnya once out of 30+ creature matchups in the past 2 days
My regularly scheduled takes on AOS topics
Chess clocks: great. L2 play faster. If everything being made fair hurts you, you're the problem
Display boards: great. Enhance the experience for everyone. Shouldn't be hard scored though. They're a frame for the models.
ended up 3-0 today putting my comp idoneth record at 14-2
man it feels good to play something that isnt actual trash tier but id never have gotten this good playing a stronger faction than kb. the only difference really is i dont get demolished by dice, merely inconvenienced
Battlescroll hot takes:
-Zombies are still very good but at least potentially beatable
-motrek spam got a bit over buffed. It wasn't BAD. immortis and sbgl were just insane
-seraphon are about to be a fucking ISSUE
-other than starborne the meta looks like it's gonna be great
Kinda late for this but post World champs reflections
I am really proud of how I played skill wise. I think I put my best foot forward and was pleasantly surprised that even though my record was poor I felt I outplayed Most of my opponents barring 2
Me and my partner Katana did some cheesy ass shit this weekend with matching outfits. So lucky to have her in my life ๐ ๐ ๐ฅ
(Repost due to technical issues)
Ended day 2 4-2
Hit 2/3 of the players in the event I was tryna dodge and all 6 of my opponents are gt winners
So I'm pretty proud of how I'm doing so far. Hoping to close out with 2 more wins but we shall see
