Thanks, fun to review how the armies match up. Hard to believe the Dark Eldar perform higher than the orks to be honest.

i just wish we could see some internet handles for the people on the podium. I realize now I have NO IDEA what the real names of most of the bloggers I read are.

Go go Dark Angels? Hence proving codex creep doesn't exist and GW knew what they were doing way back then!...

I think that all of the Dark Angels armies were Deathwing armies, and as they say....3++ is the new black.

I though there were 16 people tied for Best Sportman and Dash only won the random roll for the awards prize.

That still means he had one of the highest sportmanship scores though, which is still good to see after the dramas some months ago.

Still, it's seems a bit of a "fuck you" to the other 15 equally deserving winners from the TO to not be listed specifically as winners. I suppose they're listed in the excel sheets though.

There were a lot tied for Best Sportsman, Dash didn't win it though. It was literally just randomly awarded to one of them.

The best army, you can't really see it, but it's painted/converted to be a Cobra army from G.I. Joe. It's absolutely amazing, well deserved best army prize. He'd put so much work into it, each of the Cobra characters was a different model, Cobra Commander as the Company Commander, etc. The guy was sound as hell too, all in all, throughly deserved best army and Rennaissance Man.

Was going to say that best army looks pretty bland from that photo - if its themed converted up close - that just changes it completely, would love to see some close ups.

I would love to know what Alex Fennel's list was, being deathwing.

Add one more to the Dark Angels column. They had me down as Space Marines for some reason. Went 4-4. Sadly, I didn't get any pictures of the cobra commander army.

Dug into the stats a little, and got some interesting tidbits.

I used a system similar to that used for ranking NCAA Football, where wins against superior opponents are worth more than wins against... not so superior opponents. Basically, the final win loss rating of each player influences the value you get from beating that player. From there, I pulled out 3 values for each codex, Mean, Median, and what I call SAG rating (inspired by Jeff Sagarin of USAToday - basically, the closer you are to the middle of the pack, the more value you are worth to your codex's final standings).

SAG Ratings
2.02 Dark Eldar
2.00 Dark Angels
1.94 Space Wolves
1.88 Blood Angels
1.86 Grey Knights
1.79 Imperial Guard
1.76 Eldar
1.72 Orks
1.61 Space Marines
1.52 Tau
1.41 Black Templar
1.37 Tyranids
1.33 Witch Hunters
1.28 Necrons
1.05 Daemons
0.92 CSM

Median score for the entire field (for comparisons): 1.63
Mean: 1.73
