This tournament was a great time.  I didn't bring any forgeworld stuff, but I really hope that some future tournaments continue to allow it... it added a little extra spice and variety!

I'm intrigued to know whether any ludicrous bull!@#$ involving Forgeworld models occurred :)

My guess is likely not, which is a good sign for future events!

The only thing I'm aware of is that one player, and I honestly don't know who, had a Land Raider Achilles and a Techmarine in the same 1000 point list, but apparently both are Elites? Most of the armies I saw didn't bother.

I think there was something with a normal elite choice and a FW Dreadnaught (which apparently counts as an elies as well) in a 1000 point list.

For some reason Army Builder didn't list the Dreadnaught as having any type, which screwed things up.  Aside from that, I don't think I saw anything crazy either.
Reality is a cruel and unintuitive place with rather frustrating game-play mechanics.

I think the achilies is a heavy choice for vanilla, ba, bt and something else?

There was somebody running around with a "seige" dreadnought or something

So... what made this Trios event more "casual" than normal tournaments?

24 players instead of 40 players.  Trios in general the format lends itself to more casual play.  And more theme lists instead of Power builds.

I was actually hoping to see MORE crazy forgeworld shenanigans...   I hope that FW continues to be allowed in future tournaments.  I want to run my Blight Drones!

Me too :) I was sorely disappointed that I had to miss out on this one due to previous obligations. Very much hoping the next one fits my schedule :)

Maybe Matt Ward is writing new fluff again?
