I mean, he was knocked down because Moorhouse threw his own caster forward which made the game an auto-loss if the assassination failed. Before he threw his own caster forward he had no damage and was standing right?

yes, but the odds of his assassination succeeding were decently high needing at least one of the 9's to damage and if it did he pretty just wins with the stalker only needing 5's on 6 attacks at dice + 2 (i think it was +2, not 100% on her camp).
i think he was going to lose the stalker and gorax and probably more from Nyss charges the next round. it was probably a quickly declining game. He should have probably went for the scenario out earlier with a sprinting krueger like the MoM announcers mentioned, But in the situation that he was in i would have went for the assassination.

Going to get back into painting after a very long break and i have some pretty basic questions. pulled some old boxes out of storage; I have space marine and lizardmen armies. I am looking for some advice on stripping and painting. I have watched some youtube videos and they seem to have some great info at times, but a lot of it is based on conflicting opinions so i figured i would ask you pals what you think.
firstly, do any of you have a favorite painting/etc channel on youtube?
Primer color and brand; I'd like to use a grey primer, just cause i like the look. but what brands do you guys use/recommend? and is grey primer bad for any reason?
What paint stripping product/method do u recommend? i have some plastic stuff that i never primed the first time it was painted 15+ yrs ago, and also some with tonss of paint.
I thought about going with cheaper brands for the actual paints, but decided to stick with citadel or maybe privateer press for now. any reason not to do this? I don't care much about being in-line with any codex colors, as I doubt I will actually play the game.
Gracias

P3 primer.
Color dependant on what you're painting, generally. Painting white over black primer sucks, for example.
Simple Green is great and plastic safe.
Citadel paints are pretty good, actually, and they're coming out with an airbrush line. Vallejo is good, too.

Going to have to second P3 here. I've used most the other ones and it puts down a really smooth coat. The only brand I've had bad luck with is Armory Primer. Both a gray and a white, bought on separate dates were a bit "gloppy". As McQueen said what you are painting is relevant to the color. If a mini is mostly dark colors go with black, if light colors like whites, reds, yellows, bright green go with white or gray.
Primers aside the one thing that did change the way I painted was a set of great brushes. If you get into it get some sables, they are worth every penny.

That's what surface prep, primer and lacquer top coats are for.
P3 is alright I would agree with their primers, I love most Vallejo lines (I would highly recommend vallejo if you airbrush, they thin very well and are easy to work with) and even some GW paints are great quality. Unfortunately I think they killed the inks but the metallics are really the best out there, the washes are great and the basecoat ones have good coverage for details, specifically going light over dark colors with less coats.
Brush wise I like the Winsor Newtons, but I would only drop the cash for a series 7 brush in the smallest sizes for detail work, they are just overengineered for the other stuff IMO.

Valejo has some really good box sets of paint for things like metal, skin, white, leather etc that also come with instructions that are decent. Agree about the winsor I have them in 0, 00, and 000 anything bigger I use gw or army painter brushes.
I did something I haven't done since 1995 last night, I put paint on a 40k model. I forgot how easy they are to paint, it's night and day versus other companies.

40k tournament at my LGS was cancelled yesterday due to only 3 people showing up. Owner decided to change it to a Kings of war tournament. 30 minutes later we had 9 people for Kings of war. went pretty well, owner said if 40k has a poor showing next month then Kow might take its monthly tournament spot.

New models are nice but $200CDN for Archaon and $100 for 3 knights is completely fucked. They prices have gotten completely out of hand. Its not about not being able to afford it, as much as it is value for the money. Doesn't help the game they made them for sucks balls, I would only buy to use them in KOW.
My FLGS has more 40k players then ever and not a single person plays KoW. Though if the store owner can be bullied in to changing tournaments like that it sounds like an issue with the owner. One of the keys to increasing your tournament attendance is consistently having your events and consistently putting out the prizes no matter how many people show.

There's always been an issue of Store A having, for example, poor 40K sales/participation while Store B has the opposite, and people draw their conclusions accordingly. I don't think that it's arguable that 40K has died off inSOMEFLGS, clearly it has, but the community still can't agree on how much weight to give it.
Next, I don't get where you're getting:
Da fuq? How was the owner bullied?
This is only true if the area has enough people looking to actively participate on a regular basis in the first place. 3 people showing up for a 40K tournament? Maybe at some point in the future there will be a 40K resurgence there (it's probably inevitable) but you have no idea if pushing however many hypothetical 40K events would bear fruit in that location or not. Given the disparity between game popularity at different stores even within the same city right now, I'm not sure how you could make this declaration across the board. It's never been an absolute...otherwise the store I ran would have had much better results with things like the Shadowrun and 7th Sea CCGs or the old GW Specialist games. We putSOmuch effort forward on stuff like this without any guaranteed return that this argument just makes me SMFH
I will say that a lot of people seem to be struggling with the idea that 40K is dead/dying in some areas and that it isn't simply a"run 40K events, receive bacon"paradigm anymore.
It is certainly dying in some areas. There is no doubt. If you read the message boards of other games there are a ton of people hating on GW. It also doesn't help that people don't understand financials and see a publicly traded company making less then last year and get all upset and blow everything out of proportion.
I assumed he was bullied in to changing it. If you can get 9 dudes on 30 minutes notice for a tournament then someone was pushing it behind the scenes. Perhaps I am wrong but I have seen it a lot.
