2nd Place Eric Mullins – Chaos Knights
3rd Place Geoff Hill – Adeptus Custodes

*It was discovered, immediately after the event, that the original 2nd place finisher had been playing a rule wrong in the final game and upon realizing this, the player in question told the judges he’d unintentionally been playing it incorrectly the entire tournament, as well as having an incorrect list. That player decided to vacate his placing in the event, as a result of the misplay, and so everyone was moved up one spot. Just a reminder, units played incorrectly will be removed from the table going forward.
Best Branch
As you all know, we make the Lone Star Open a special occasion for those serving, or have served, in our military by have the branches compete for the best branch at the tournament. This year’s best service branch are the Marines!
Congrats to all the winners and I will see you all at the next FLG event.
