Chase,
I'd say stick w/ this. It breaks it up nice and easy to follow and count up.
What was Allan Knowles's and Ashly Seto's theme?
To be honest, I had almost nothing to do with the theme scoring. Derek went around during round 2 and scored everyone. It was very close. I simply gave my opinions on what I felt "Best Theme" should mean in terms of just looking at a table / army comps.
As far as I know, Allan and Ashly were both using Chaos Deamons. I didn't get much of a chance to see their armies deployed due to the nature of how they enter the game. They had a very nice looking write up (that I didn't read) to go along with it. Personally I liked the Ultra Marine + Ultra Marine army and Alan and Ryans IG + IG army simply because they both LOOKED like a unified theme on the table... However, I wasn't the one with the scoring checklist, I don't really know how the scoring in this area worked, nor do I know much of anything about the game beyond what I think looks cool. So there you go
.
The rules and checklists we used were pretty solid in my opinion. They looked for specific things and awarded points based on that. Going forward I would expect the scoring in all areas to closely resemble what we used this time around... especially if they encouraged aggressive play. I hope everyone was satisfied with it all.
