1v1 Apocalyptic Action?

[Horst]

Anyone down for a big apocalypse game in the coming weeks?

Thinking of like a 5,000-6000 point game, on the weekend of the 18th-19th.

Fully painted would be best

[ccourtney]

Are you looking for a actual apocalypse game (with super heavies) or just a big 40k game? I'm up for either one if your interested. If you want to play during the day on the 18th we could play right up until the lock in and then just stick around for that.

[Horst]

Oh I'd like to bring super heavies.... it would give me a great excuse to finish painting my thunderhawk.

[Horst]

Looking over what I have painted, I could comfortably field 9,000 points of blood angels.

I got:

HQ's:
Librarian biker
Librarian in power armor
Librarian terminator
Captain biker
Rechlusiarch in power armor
Rechlusiarch in terminator armor
Astorath
The Sanguinor

infantry:
30 death company
25 assault marines on foot
20 assault marines with jump packs
20 tactical marines
10 terminators
5 sanguinary guard
10 biker marines

Vehicles:
8 predators
2 land raiders
5 dreadnoughts
5 razorbacks
2 vindicators
3 stormravens
1 thunderhawk


Looking at it in armybuilder, its 8960 points. Thats as high as I can go while staying with painted stuff. (including what I'm planning on painting over the next 2 weeks).

How much you got courtney

[hyv3mynd]

152 models for 9,000pts. No wonder I hate painting my tyranids so much. But d**n Steve, 3 stormravens, 8 preds, 5 dreads... you've been busy.

I think courtney may have more than 9,000pts in eldar forgeworld models alone hah.

Either way, I'd show up to watch that game if I could. Make sure someone takes pics.

[ccourtney]

9000 in Eldar is not a problem.

[Horst]

9k on 9k it is then

what time should we start? 4pm?

[ccourtney]

I have to warn you, with you having only one truly apocalypse unit there (the thunderhawk) I don't see this going well for you. If you want to play it I'm game, I love breaking out the models I don't get to play very often. I just think it might be a little one sided due to the lack of apocalypse units in your list. It's up to you I'll have fun either way, if you would rather just play a big 4k normal game or something that's fine also, we can do that any time. Just wanted you to know when I play Apocalypse I bring one of every unit in the codex, and one of (almost all) the super-heavies / apocalypse units.

Let me know what you want to do but in 9k there will be:

Reverent Titan
Cobra
Scorpion
Vampire Hunter
Vampire Raider
Phoenix Bomber
Nightwing Interceptor
Linx
Warp Hunter
Firestorm
+ 1 of every unit in the codex.

The only duplication will be in the Spirit Host formation with wraithlords (all armed differently)

Up to you my friend, I just don't think that one super-heavy constitutes a Apocalypse force. Still I am game if you are.

[Horst]

uh... yea.

Looking at that, I'd be annihilated

Thats what, like 10+ str D shots per turn? I have like, a single str D shot from my thunderhawk.

How many points can you go if we just play a large game without super heavies?

- or maybe limit it to like 3 super heavies?

[evil_red_orks]

Just play a necron army, and im sure u could wipe all those super heavies off the board.

[ccourtney]

Well just like you don't want to play against all those super heavies, guess what spam I would get annihilated by:

8 predators
2 land raiders
5 dreadnoughts
5 razorbacks
2 vindicators
3 stormravens

I don't have 8 falcons to match your 8 predators, or 5 wraith lords for the 5 dreadnoughts....etc, etc.....sorry man. I can make a really fun army of one of every unit in the dex and hit 4K...Just not interested in lining it up against a wall of fast predator spam.

[Horst]

ok then... how about 7k points, as many super heavies as you want

[ccourtney]

Or you could take one of each unit you have painted in your codex without the spam and I'll match the points doing the same. Then we could take the same amount of points in super heavies and same number of D-Weapons and duke it out as evenly as possible?

Up to you, I'll bring 7k of pain if you really feel the need to play all that repetition.

[Horst]

The problem with that is... my army is kinda based on repetition. I don't really have one of everything. Like, if we did one of everything, my entire troops section would be 1 assault squad, my tanks would consist of 1 vindicator, 1 predator, and 1 land raider. I could probably field like, 3k points max this way.

Plus, I really want to use all my tanks at once.

Just bring the super heavies to even the field The massed strength D fire will probably kill them all, but it will be cool to see.

[pogysnacks]

Just scratch build like 3you warlord titans: you win
