So the Las Vegas Open Age of Sigmar Championships was held over the weekend in, you guessed it, Las Vegas. Warhammer Live and the Warhammer Community team were there in attendance and you can check out all the coverage over on the Warhammer Live Twitch channel.
Las Vegas Open Age of Sigmar Championships
Before we get into the army lists, a big congratulations to Scott Reed (the tournament organiser), Elric Edge (of the Rolling Bad podcast) and everyone else who worked so hard to put on an excellent event. 90+ gamers, including some travelling Brits, having a great weekend of Age of Sigmar.
Now the Las Vegas Open Age of Sigmar Championships were held over 7 rounds, using 2,000 point armies in General’s Handbook 2017 scenarios. The pack can be found here and here.
Las Vegas Open – the results
I don’t have the full results, or all the award placings, but Samuel Valdez (who attended the event) kindly sent me through the top 10 and the lists. Once I get a chance, I will try to add all the remaining lists into the list archive, and provide some commentary on the top 10.
Drumroll please….
So the final standings were:
- Andrew Standiferd – Vanguard Wing
- James Thomas – Changehost
- Tony Moore – Changehost

*get in touch and let me know the Twitter handles of the people I’ve missed.
Perhaps unsurprising, Disciples of Tzeentch were the power to be reckoned with. No change there….

Anyone know what weapon the 1st and 2nd place guys used on the Lord of Change?
James Thomas here,
I used Rod of Sorcery and Staff on my LoC, and gave him the Aura of Mutability to help with some wounds on himself and nearby horror units. The rerolling 1s helped in a few games, and won my last game
Also, I just joined Twitter! Dan, my twitter tag is @aosjamest. I’ll try and tweet out reports of how tournaments and stuff goes. Gonna take the list I took to LVO to a local RTT this Saturday and am expecting a strong showing of 20 or so people with good competition. Should be great!
