This is going to be a quick and dirty because I was more interested in a "learning" game than a more serious one, so I didn't even bother with notes.  Especially since January was my last game.

My list
EC-ATW
THDC Terminators
Las/Plas Crusader
Stormtalon (AssCan/SWML)

Co Cmd (4xSniper)
2x Inf Platoons of 1xPlt Cmd (AC, 2xFlamer, Chimera), 2x Inf (AC, Flamer, Chimera), HWS (AC)
1x SWS (2xMelta, Flamer) attached to one platoon to ride in Vendetta
2x Ratling Squads (3x Snipers)
Vendetta w/ Heavy Bolters.
Armored Sentinel w/ Plasma Cannon (hey, I got the model with some other stuff and it covered that last 75 points...)

Opponent, Coteaz in TDA
6 GKT squads (everything combat squads, so maybe only 3x) with a bit of bling.
Vindicare Sniper
StormRaven (empty)

Normal setup (long side) & Emperor's Will.  No night fighting, Warlord traits were never relevant.

First things first, Mike and his staff did a great job from what I saw.  His people were kind, courteous, dedicated and worked to fix issues in a timely manner.  They didn't always succeed and I'll list some of those issues in another post as well as where they dealt with the unexpected quickly.  The NOVA team should cover most of that in their post event hot wash.

Here, I mainly want to discuss my actual experience playing in the GT.  I went 1-5 with a close fight in the win, four losses by a sliver and once getting slaughtered.  IMO, TOs for tournaments need to make some changes, because like Mike's idea that "well everyone can just play their 5th lists mainly" when he made the switch to 6th, I think there is a lot of wishful thinking going on.  This is an overview, so I'm not going to break down each battle here.  My list is here.

Necrons:
1x Overlord (WS, MSS) in Command Barge
1x Overlord (WS, MSS, Orb) w/ Warriors
1x NW(20) w/ 2x Cryptek (2xVoltaic Staff, 1x Lightning Field)
1x NW(5) in a Ghost Ark
2x NI(10) (1xTesla, 1xGauss) w/ 1x Lord (WS, MSS, Orb) + Cryptec (Eldritch Lance, Solar Pulse)
2x Night Scythe (DT for Immortals)
2x Annihilation Barge
5x Scarabs
1x Spyder w/ Gloom Prism

Space Wolves (IIRC):
2x Rune Priest
4x Grey Hunters(10) (2x Plasmagun, 1xMark of Wulfen) w/ Wolf Guard (Combi plasma)
3x Long Fang(6) (3xML, 2xLC)
1x IG Cmd squad w/ Master of Ordnance
1x Vet squad
2x Leman Russ w/ Battle Cannon (no sponsons)

EDIT: Okay, good idea to try to get stuff down when exhausted before you forget.  BAD IDEA to hit Publish button instead of Save to Drafts Button.  Added a drawing.

Well, my Testbed list performed in many ways sort of like I expected.  Including at my LGS where I played a leisurely game with an older gentleman about my age who was learning and we were double checking all the rules and discussing tactics as we went.  Of course, to the derisive comments of the younger "boys" who were of the opinion that since they knew how to stick it in, pump fast, finish quickly and roll off to the next engagement they had a clue how to play.  Needless to say, I was hearing severa rules mistakes being made by all participants, although in many cases it appeared to be in the interests of speeding up the game process.  OTOH, with the obvious attitude of not sticking to the "wham, bam, thank you ma'am" ethic = stupid, I quit bothering to correct their "issues".  Anyway, back to 40K.

So, I'm off to a nearby town to play in a little 400 point skirmish tournament using Adepticon rules.  Yes, this is about 5th Edition, but the theory will fit into 6th, and IMO be a testbed for the new Allies rules.  Especially if, as I fully expect, NOVA 2012 ends up jumping to 6th at what is really the last minute for a 6thish-NOVA-FUBAR Edition tournament.  Anyway, back to the list design.  Only requirement is one Troop and then you can use up to one of any slot, including another Troop.

Hmmm.  Okay, I have plenty of BT, but the rules say nothing greater than AV12 unless a DT, so there go my dreams of a LRC with a squad inside.  How about my Necrons?  At 400 points?!  You must be joking, especially since not only do you need 90 points just to field the Royal Court models that make the army work, but a Necron Overlord is illegal because he has three wounds...  Wait, what about my Witchhunter inducted Guard platoon?  That actually might work...
