Games Workshop Appologizes for Leagues of Votann!?

Oh man, GW actually apologized for how strong League of Votann rules are written.

This is amazing. I can't understate how important this is to the community and the hobby.

Could this be a knee-jerk reaction? Sure. Is this the result of a few vocal Youtubers, bloggers, Redditors, and public whining? Absolutely.

I have no inside information, but I do consume Warhammer content like a Tyranid at a Sizzler, and it does appear to my eyes that there was a lot of negative feedback from community posters and some feedback from former (nay recently fired play testers) that has lead to this pre-release nerf.

It's not that big of a nerf, if I'm honest, and it keeps the LoV in line with armies with similar abilities. With the Nephilim changes in secondaries, it just goes to show how each army can be teetering, and a slight tweak can upset the balance of power in the game. Necrons went from zeros to heroes just by getting great secondary objectives without changing the army or points. The tiny LoV rules change was for the better and it makes me happy to see this implemented. *Grain of salt* I haven't played them, or against them yet.

Now if James will just fix Nephilim missions...

My favorite part of the video: "They haven't won a tournament in 30 years."

Las Vegas Open Results

I had a blast in the Warhammer 40k Champs at the Las Vegas Open. I went with my buddy, Kyle and slugged it out for 3 days of gaming, big crowds, and casino food. Here are a few pics from the event. I only went 1-5 in the Champs and 1-1 in the Sunday RTT but it was still a great weekend of playing games. Two of my losses were a combined 5 points and I felt so close to having a .500 weekend. Pro tip: Thunder wolf cavalry are tough to play in GW/WTC/Frontline terrain maps. You end up bottlenecked in your own table half. I was my own wolf jail... I'm a little embarrassed by my score, but I learned quite a bit and I think I'm going to focus on my silver Space Marines or Orks for the next year. #Warhammer40k #lvo2025 #spacewolves40k

2024 ITC Rankings

Judging by my win-loss record, I've had a terrible year playing Warhammer 40k. Needless to say, I'm flabbergasted at the final rankings of the 2024 ITC season. What?!? I placed in the bottom 10% at the LVO; I placed even worse than players who dropped out after 3 games, so I'm not sure how those points and placings are tabulated, nor how season points are calculated but I'm in the 2,000s for the USA rankings? One bonus though, I'm the top "Dusty" in the world.
