This year we implemented a new rubric for LVO paint judging and it was well-received overall. The entire process is much smoother and more transparent than ever before and having our celebrity Paint judge, the amazing Duncan Rhodes come through and pick the final winners with our crew was an unforgettable experience! If you’d like to see how you, your friends, or your rivals scored you can check out this Score Sheet. If you are interested in understanding the way the hobby scores were judged click the link to the FLG Paint Rubric Judge’s Guide. If you didn’t get a chance to see the amazing armies at LVO yet you can see them via these links to Facebook posts (FB Post 1, FB post 2, FB post 3) or you can check out a selection of the photos below.
If you attended the Las Vegas Open 2023 and played in the Warhammer 40k Championship event you can expect to receive a post-event survey via the email you used for registration soon! Please give us your feedback, we are always looking to improve the event, and hearing from you is the best way for us to go about doing that! It was great seeing so many of you at the LVO this year, and I am already looking forward to LVO 2024.
