Is it more vehicles or figures? Whats the minimum point value for an army? How long do the games go on for and are they still 6 turns per game? Is there a minimum size for the board compared to "normal" 40K? Etc!

Apocalypse lets you field all your models from all your armies and you dont have to use the "legal force organisation chart"...so you could field all HQ choices if you like....me i just take 3 Titans and a few tanks and i am at 3000 points...oh my god thats really "beardy". WE try not to play Apocalypse at the club but i have got the Apocalypse rule book if you would like to borrow it some time? Captain Stevo.

Could charge for the food (donated by members) to go along with the sponsorship for the game. Could have Space Marines guys (as there are a few of them) against the rest of the universe! Imagine that, Tyrannids team up with Necrons, Tau, Eldar to defeat the Emperor's soldiers. Sorry I'm getting carried away!

Fuzzman Posts: 476 Group: Members Member #12 Joined: January 27, 2008	True there arealot of Marine players. Could have some of them go rouge I guess. Just depends on who has what at the time. Though it would be sweet to try. 2 Hours for a turn blimey. Thats a long turn.

I think I'm talking myself into something here?

I think the hardest part will just be the set up. Once its going seems to be a luagh. I remember when me and Tim used to play back in school we just keptgoing until nothing was left. Lotsof fun memories then again back then we didnt really know the rules.

The organiser could plan the length of the board, special rules etc. (The GW board was about 240ft x 24ft). There might be a lot of diputes about the rules with the mass of players so the organiser will probably wont be able to field an army. Also a time limit for turns? And make sure people stick to an area of board then thinning out otherwise places will be very crowded at one place while another nearly totally empty. At GW on the first turn some reserves came on and one bolt pistol shot destroyed half an army. The other half was destroyed by me Dad's Baneblade. He lost his entire army in one turn poor guy. He was lent models by other players though. So if someones force does get annihalated soemthinng can happen or someone could lend models...

That way people can eat and play and hopefully not get bored..... i think i will only bing 3 models to Apocalypse if we do it?....3 Warhound titans!!!...ooohhh do i hear some shout... "Beardy Bugger !!!" ...or have some smaller tables fighting over major parts of the board..like space ports or warp gates etc. Captain Stevo.

Fuzzman Posts: 476 Group: Members Member #12 Joined: January 27, 2008	Im am doing a Test game next against my next door neighbour. We are doing a 10'000Pt game, 5'000 each side. Im looking forward to it. It is taking place all week as we are using a shed so we can keep the models and take turns throughout the week. Which is cool. Been planning it a while. Will let you guys all know how it goes and hopefully the emperor's men will reign supremem over the forces of Chaos, I have th slight advantage of having 10'000Pts of Marine to choose from and a couple of Legendary formations. I will type up the battle report on here to. Should be cool. Friday night will type up what each army is taking.
