One of the great things about the Indy GT Circuit as it has progressed is we are now able to track events and players over years. With the The Conflict GT we have an interesting case of a winner winning the event for the second year in a row. What is more impressive is he has done it with two different armies.

Last year Andrew Gonyo won with Imperial Guard with this list.

This year he moved from one flavor of the month army to the next and took Grey Knights. His Grey Knight I have to say has more style points than his previous cookie cutter IG list.

Conflict GT 2012 Over Winner Andrew Gonyo’s Grey Knights

The event had a total of 43 participants. The Conflict GT also marked the first GT to allow Necrons so it good to see seven Necron players show up. Necrons even took 2nd overall behind Andrew with a Scarab Traveler lead list.  As you may have guessed the number one army played was Grey Knights with around eight participants. Expect this trend to continue.

Here is a full break down of the armies.

Grey Knights: 8
Space Marines: 8
Necrons: 7
Blood Angels: 5
Dark Eldar: 3
Daemons: 2
Tyranids: 2
Imperial Guard: 1
Dark Angels: 2
Sisters: 1
Space Wolves: 1
Tau: 1
Eldar: 1
Orks: 1

You cannot make a trend or take away much from one event, but I have noticed that ever since the Grey Knights codex there has been a precipitous drop in Space Wolves players and Imperial Guard the Conflict GT only adds to that trend.

As for coverage of the event on other sites and forums here are some good links.

The rest of January is a dry for GTs but expect a butt load of events for February with GottaCon being next. To see a full list with links and dates head on over to the Blood of Kittens Tournament site.
