My first LVO was in 2017. There were 390 players in the Warhammer 40k Champs bracket.
There were 1055 registered in this year's 40k Champs. How amazing is that? Finding this old photo brought back some memories.
Back in 2017, the Bally's hotel was packed and there were more gamers there than I had ever seen in one place. I've played Warhammer all over the world (well, the US and a game in England) and odds are that the gamers in your neck of the woods are just like the gamers everywhere else. In Vegas, there were a LOT of gamers that reminded me of the gang back home.
I brought my Adeptus Mechanicus War Convocation list, including an Imperial Knight. Like usual, I didn't do well on the gaming table but I got to meet a few "Internet famous" folks like Reece from Frontline Gaming, Lawrence from Tabletop Tactics, a professional violin player, and I think I played Brian from Tabletop Titans (long before he started his channel.) The player who might be Brian, slow played me and we only got to turn 3 and he kept calling 40k, "a sport."
I haven't thought about that tournament in years but that photo brought back a flood of memories.
