So I'm curious, what if everyone on Dakka Dakka got together and played a massive apocalypse battle with the armies they had? How many points would it be? We need two sides so we'll go with Order: the Iom, Eldar, & Tau vs Destruction:I Chaos, Orks, Tyranids, Necrons, Dark Eldar. Which side would have superior numbers? Who would win? Well lets find out.

Here's how this thread will work if you feel like participating, post your favorite army points value that you currently own, not something you would like to own. We don't need the whole list, just the points to the best of your ability. It's the honor system so try your best to be truthful about what you have since the point we're trying to find out is the points value of Dakka Dakka's collective army.

Here's and example of my armies I currently own:

Black Templars: 2000

Imperial Guard: 1850

Chaos: 1500

Remember, IG can also count as forces of Chaos, but you must choose which side they fight for unless you actually have dedicated IG because you can't put both on the table at one time, this goes for SM's and other "count's as" units as well.

In total I can currently field 3850 Iom, and 1500 points of Chaos.

Order: 3850, Destruction: 1500

When you post your points, please add to these figures from the previous post.. and hopefully we'll get into the millions. (I seriously expect to).

Dude.....

Order: n/a Destruction: bout 2.5k


which makes the whole total:

Order: 3850 Destruction: 4000

You like? I'm actually fairly excited to see what Dakka can bring to the stadium sized table....

I guess in apoc I can field about seven thousand points of orks, not counting silly stuff like units of AOBR warbosses, so that's:

Order: 3850 Destruction: 11000

I got myself a nice 4,000 points of imperial guard to try leveling it out a bit:

Order: 7850 Destruction: 11000

I've got 3250 points worth of CSM (which is still fast growing) so that makes..


Order: 7850 Destruction: 14250

Edit: Went through and worked it out.

For the side of Order, I'll bring 2500 points of Sisters of Battle, 3000 points of Imperial Guard, 6500 points of vanilla Marines, 2800 points of Eldar, 750 points of Grey Knights, and 750 points of Space Wolves. I opted not to bring my Tau, nor my Destruction side forces; the former because I never play them, the latter because it'd be a conflict of interest in other people's eyes.

Total added: +16,300 for Order

Order: 24150 Destruction: 14250


This is remarkably peculiar, as the two numbers are anagrams of each other. : /

Order: 3000pts of Guard.

Order (SWs, Mordians, Ulthwe): circa 12k
Destruction (Orks, Nids): circa 9k

Cool thread idea btw.

And still you missed the point. You have to add up the totals.

So with Blacksails and Ratius we're at:

Order: 39150 Destruction: 23250

Gee, sowwy!

Approx. 3500 points of Tau and IG

Order: 42650 Destruction: 23250

Scrap that I miscalculated D:

The grenadiers should be 225.

So O: 42875 D:29450

6200 points for destruction

O: 42805 D: 29450



btw, my tomb world feels they should count for both sides...they are orderly destruction

Order is at 42875, sorry.

Order: 2500 pts

I will add 3500 points of Black Templars, and 3000 points of Daemons.

Order: 48875 Destruction: 32450

I can add 14000 of guard and 5000 of vanilla
Order 67875. Destruction 32450

2/1 ratio to date.

C'mon bad guys, where ya at?!

Order 67875. Destruction 37450

Slowly building up my Nids.

Well lets find out.

I predict that with the breakdown listed here, order will have more points by roughly 2:1. Because there are 10 "Order" codexes, and only 6 "Destruction". Maybe Eldar and Tau should switch sides, and bring it to eight-on-eight, Imperium versus not-Imperium.

That said, I'll leave my order forces home, and throw 60,000 points for Destruction...

Order: 67,875 Destruction: 97,450

Whaaaaaaaaaaaat?

60k?!

I'll throw in about 3k of assorted CSM (never actually counted how many points) alongside 2k of Eldar and 2k of Tau.

Order: 71,875 Destruction: 100,450

It's all completely up to you what you bring, all I ask is that you participate and not add points you don't actually have (or can field on the battlefield at the same time.) Awesome job guys, keep it up!

Yes, 60k. This is 20k of chaos daemons, and it's not my largest army:



I' m not adding any points I can't field

The board would be so big, that you would need a cat walk overhead to move the pieces around.

Sounds like fun.

Suddenly my army feels so very, very small...

Brb counting up my entire guard army....
current estimate: atleast 3500 for the super heavys alone. with maybe 5000+ for the rest (not including a mega cannon with its own rules.). so.... 8 to 9000+ of Imperial guard to add to Order.


As for playing the game. can you say impossible task? one section of the board might be on turn 2 while the rest is still in the movement phase on 1. and theres no way to speed it up without everything going out of order. that and it would be a turn a day

2000 Eldar and 2000 Dark Eldar.

I believe that brings the totals to:

Order: 73875 Destruction: 102450


I think it would be easy to play, because there will be many, many models, but also many players. If a similar setup to Miniwargaming's yearly apocalypse event it should go quickly. Also you can have time limits per turn, anything that doesn't happen in the allocated time for that phase just doesn't happen.

Dark eldar, 15000 pts. including a phantom, and a pair of revenants, plus airforce of 5 aircraft.

I'll throw in my little bit of army (especially compared to 60k! WOW!):
Dark Eldar - 2000
Nids - 2000

You can count my 1000 points of Necrons too if you want, but I've never played them so I won't include them in the total.

Order: 91875, Destruction: 107950

5000 points of Chaos marines and Daemons combined.

Order: 91875, Destruction: 112950

I can add in another 25K of various chaos flavors.

Order: 91875 Destrcution: 137,950

Skriker

Don't let my Sig mislead you. If you include my Super Heavy Vehicles and Apocalypse formations, etc, as well as models that I have for each faction but that I generally don't use in my lists, I could field about:

Orks: 4,500
Eldar: 4,000
Chaos Space Marines: 2,000
Space Wolves: 1,500
Daemons: 1,500
really starting to scrape the bottom of the barrel now

Again points stand at:

Order: 166,845

Destruction: 146,450

Order N/A Destrucion 3400 points (Chaos)


That brings the total up to

ORDER 166,845

DESTRUCTION 149,850

I'll throw in my roughly 3k pts of IG, although at least 2k of that is just infantry and heavy weapon teams.

Meatshields for everybody!

I've also got roughly 500pts of AoBR orks.

Order: 169,845

Destruction: 150,350

Let's see...

Chaos(Marines, Daemons, Traitor IG): ~12,000

Imperial(I'm estimating since I don't want to actually attempt to calculate all that between My Dark Angels, Blood Angels, Space Wolves, DiY Chapter, Salamanders, Grey Knights, Sisters, 2 IG Armies, etc.): 30,000

Eldar: 4000

Orks: 1800

Dark Eldar: 2200

Tyranids: 6000

Disorder: 172,350

I'll add:

4000 points of Necrons
1000 points of Orks

(all rough totals)

Brings to:

Order: 205,145

Uhhh... 750 points of Blood Angels?

I just started collecting. Every little bit helps, right?

That brings the total to:

Order: 205,895

Destruction: 172,350

Chaos is begin to grow much slower than expected

I got about 1500 points of CSM so....

Order: 205,895

Destruction: 173,850

Wow I really like this thread

Add about 15k for destruction (CSM, IG, Daemons, some DE and Orks)
And about 2k for GK

That makes it.
Order: 207,895 Destruction: 188,850

Someone get H.B.M.C. in here. He'll really boost those numbers.

Tau: 2500
BA: 2500
GK: 1000 roughly
DE: 600

not bad since i have been collecting for under a year

Order: 213,895
Destruction: 189,650

i throw in my 1000 points of eldar and 800 of Dark eldar...

Order 214,895
destruction 190,450

For Order:
IG: 18,000 points with 600+ infantry models, 30+ Chimeras, 10 Leman Russes, 10 Demolishers, 9 Basilisks, and 3 Baneblades.

SoB: 9,700 with just about everything in the WD codex.

So 27,700 more for the side of Order!

Update:

Order: 242,595 Destruction: 190,450

Absolute madness.... we're at an Apoc game of over 400,000 points total. Good benchmark!

5000 from BT/Eldar/IG

Order: 272,545

Destruction: 310,235

*looks at his DKoK single squad, then at Ascalam pts value...:(*

Just realized I completely miscounted my guard, I've got at least another 2 to 3k based on upgrades. I'll throw them in on the order side as well, since by some bizarre logic they're losing when they have more codexes

I'll throw another 2,500pts on order so now its

Order: 275,045pts

Destruction: 310,235

Wish we had a tally of some sort mentioning how many of each codex was being fielded, to get an idea of the percentages of each side. Sounds like over half of destruction is orks alone

*Looks at his box filled with his 2000point IG army... looks at Ascalam's points... wonders what building he put them all in.*

I guess Ascalam does have enough shoota boyz to shoot a draigostar dead in one turn

Order: 275 795
Destruction: 312 235

I'll toss in 2k of DE and 750 of 'nilla Marines (or Dark Crusaders, if that sort of thing is allowed...)

Wow, not that I'm actually surprised when you consider the unbalance in codices, but Order is already up almost 100k.

Destruction has only 78% of Order's points.

3000 Eldar

9800 Destruction. Which adds to...

While I admire the gamesmanship here, the point of this thread is to see what the balance is... it kinda breaks the exercise to not add your 8k of order (please do),

Whats the biggest ever Apoc game ever run in one location does anyone know?

I have very vague recollections of 100k?

I know a while back someone coordinated a world wide apoc set of games but Im more interested in a single location.

Adding 2k of cadia's finest and 500pts of eldar

order:443145
destruction:356985

Hmm, 6k of Orks, 2k of Tau and about 1.8k of GK

Brings us up to:

Destruction: 362985

Edit for maths fail

I think the guys at miniwargaming did a 10k per side apoc game over a weekend.

Here's what I can add:

Order:
Marines, about 4k depending on codex and list used
Guard, around 2300 and growing nearly every day

Dest:
Nurgle CSM, around 2k
Tyranids, around 1250 usable, around 3k once its all built.

So here's the "new total"

Order: 453245
Destruction: 376235

Ascalam wrote:So would the Ghaz-star

You could also call "Rokk 'em boyz!" without ever missing the table

I think the guys at miniwargaming did a 10k per side apoc game over a weekend.

100k you mean? 10k is small fry!

I know there was a 250,000 point Apoc game recently

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGUZUyLT44U

And in Canada this year there is ApocalyptiCon which is plannign a 500k point game.


........pity Dakka can't sponsor this matchup, a million-point apocalypse game would be sweet to see!

I can't imagine a 500k game... how do they manage keeping people near the same turn?

Just thought I'd add what little I have:

Dark Eldar = 1250pts roughly
Necrons = 2500pts (+1250pts for a titan, however that uses custom rules so I won't include it - if anyone thinks it should be then please add it on )

So new total is:

Order: 453245
Destruction: 379985

I can easily field 4k of necrons now a days with upgrades.

Order: 453,245
Destruction: 383,985

Just wondering, could we come up with a scenario that allowed us to do this on a local match-up basis? A day on the front lines kind of thing? Try and get as many games around the world at the same time; it would take some organising, but it would be really cool.

Mighty war boss Yakface, give us da order?

Some organising, SERIOUS organising!
Cool idea though albeit unlikely due to the sheer logistics!

We could try and run it through a pinned thread in the Campaign Forum. Have a general story line have a roll call, set up some general rules, divvy up the resources, and then then have at it. I think it'd be interesting to see as well, especially with at least 800,000 points so far on this thread alone.

Kinda like Dakka Dakka's version of Medusa V.

I'll ad my little tau army... only 1.5K

Order: 454,745
Destruction: 383,985

2000 Waaaaaaagh!!!!

Order: 454,745
Destruction: 385,985

I'll add mine to the count too;

3,187 Of the finest IG you could ever ask to command and 1,000 odd (give or take) SMs
So thats;

Order: 458,932
Destruction: 385,985

3378 Daemons
1500 Necrons
1750 Nids

Which makes:
Order: 458,932
Destruction: 392,613

Right, so now that we have over 850,000 points accounted for, you may be asking yourself, now what?

Well, the benchmark is pretty substantial and I fully expect that an official 1 million points will be reached within a few weeks, which gives me enough time to set up the next phase of this little experiment.

The Dakka Dakka wide campaign!

Seen here: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/451931.page

You can check out the proposed setting and rules, and if you're interested, feel free to post and PM me suggestions on how to improve and implement the campaign! Keep at it Dakka Dakka, I would love to see the initial count of a million points on the first day of the campaign!

Imperial Guard - 3500pts
Orks - 7500pts

I'll Add Aura's as well, as she is a Dakka member but unlikely to see this thread.

Dark Eldar - 3000pts
so..

order: 462,432
Destruction: 403,113

Epic, thank you Drucii.

I only have a miserable small worthless 1010 points tau my first army

order: 463,442
Destruction: 403,113

All are welcome in the endless meat grinder of Aka'dakka

Seems we have enough guardsman to protect my hammerheads. xD

Always good to have some disposable grunts to soak up the fire

Of course, my troops ARE the disposable grunts soaking up fire...

Yep but in exchange all armor will get a hole through their front hull. xD

Destruction's keeping up pretty well, given that Order has almost all the codexes

Yep all the outdated ones. xD

Barring DE and that travesty that is the new Nid dex , all the destruction ones are old Orks, Daemons and CSm haven't been updated in a while.

And DE had to wait far too long for theirs, though it's a decent dex.

Order has the Tau and Eldar, and the BT and DA , but everyone else has had new codexes recently..

I’ll add in

4,000 Spacewolves
2,500 Inquisition
500 Kroot

2,000 Tyranids
1,800 Chaos renegades

Nope if we are gonna do cities of dead we will need to buy a city and kick out all the inhabitants. xD

Order 950 points for my Dark Angels+ 500 for my IG Stormlord
2000 ish for destruction for my Crons

I'd rather not sort through all my unpainted models, because that will only bring me great shame... So i'll just add in the 1500 points of orks that i have painted. That brings the total (including necronboy) up to...

I'll add my 3000 pts Orks.


Order: 478,772

Great work guys.... IT'S OVA 900,000!!!

Btw, check out the possible campaign Dakka Dakka could be running with these points. If you're interested, you may have missed my last post about it: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/451931.page

Space Wolves - ~5300
Tyranids - ~3500

Putting the total up to:
Order: 454,072
Destruction: 437,689

The Grey Templars add their might to the total, and some GKs.

10,500 points of Space Marines

5,000 points of GKs

Warhound Titan 750 pts


New totals

Order: 470,322
Destruction: 437,689


Can we make this a Million point battle?

Let's see...

about 2.5k CSM
about 4k Necrons

new total

Order: 470,322
Destruction: 444,189

Discounting my unbuilt models and half-finished scratchbuilds, my contribution would be relatively meager and balanced, with roughly 1500pts. of vanilla SM and Orks, bringing the totals to:

Order: 471,822
Destruction: 445,689

Its just another drop in the bucket; but i've got 9800 Iron warrior plus contingents. 4750 Nids which is anchored by my heirophant bio-titan. So...

Order: 471822
Destruction:460239

Only 82,489 points till we hit 1 million!

admiral9 wrote:Kroot? Not tau?

I use to have 1500 point tau army, but I gave the models to a friend to help him get into the hobby, I traded about 1250 of tau for the kroot from the battle box so that I could add them to the pile of kroot I already have, that will eventually make a kroot mercenary army.

So a custom codex?

admiral9 wrote:So a custom codex?

Kroot mercs were a white dwarf dex iirc, but they are a bit outdated and so never used.

ORDER:471822
DESTRUCTION: 466664

gaining 4625 points of WAAAAAAAAAGH
did i mention i love palindromes?

2000pts of IG, 2000pts of Orks,and 4000pts of Necrons
ORDER: 473822
DESTRUCTION: 472664

I'm going to answer for one of my brothers, he doesn't frequent this site much, but I know he'd be down for this.

about 1500 pts of Tau

ORDER: 475322
DESTRUCTION: 472664

I could do 2500pts of Eldar and 2500pts of Grey Knights, so 5000pts more for Order!

Order - 480322

Destruction - 472664

Iranna.

I would bring about 3k of Noise Marines and my wife would bring 2000 Dark Eldar and 3000 Deamons so together we can bring 8k to Destruction

Order: 480322
Destruction: 480664

Huzzah!

Destruction now out-numbers order!

Nope. Math error last page, order is off by about 100k. Someone not on smart phone needs to go back and correct.

Lobukia wrote:Nope. Math error last page, order is off by about 100k. Someone not on smart phone needs to go back and correct.

Math error last page looks to only make Order off by about 20k not 100k. Too lazy to get accurate number and gotta go to class. If not fixed before I get home I will fix.

Add this when the numbers get fixed.

Space Marines=2000

Orks=500

I pledge my 2.5k LotD army to the forces of man...Oh and my warlord titan.

4,000 Eldar
2,000 IG
and just to mess up the numbers even more:
A single tactical marine for painting practice!!! 16 more points!!!

Order: 486338
Destruction: 480664

Have 1500 points of unbuilt Lizardmen who will be converted to Orks once my girlfriend decides to either do it or let me do it...

Ironically, order cannot do math (though it wasn't as far off as I had earlier guessed)

Luckily, we Ultramarines can do it for the rest of you

Order should be at 550,138 (I invite anyone to check, there was at least 1 math error on every page, most to our disfavor... Alpharius was here)

EDIT: Destruction, do your own math (wouldn't be surprised if you guys were dead on, go figure).

New totals

Order: 550,138
Destruction: 480,664

If everyone is already starting to add every random model they own...

17 AOBR Warbosses: 1870

Order: 550,138
Destruction: 482,534

If i should stuff in everything:

- Around 25000 points of Imperial Guard
- 3222 points of Space Marines
- ~2500 points of Tau
- 12000 points worth of Super-Heavies (including a Warlord titan)

Order: 592,860
Destruction: 482,534

4500 points of Ulthwé Eldar
1500 points of Dark Angels

1300 points of Necrons

Order: 598,860
Destruction:483,834

Updated totals (just went through thread):

Order: 599,960
Destruction: 512,334

Make sure it's clear whose side you're on and how many points are being added.

I've got 7500 points of IG, 4750 points of Sisters of Battle, 2500 points of Grey Knights, 3550 points of Raven Guard space marines, and 3000 points of Slaanesh Chaos Daemons. Thats all my superheavies, gargantuan creatures, my fleets of vehicles, and hundreds of infantry. Naturally I am no where near painting all of that. I am maybe 1/4 of the way done and working furiously on my IG. I'd wager that the majority of my forces woudl land of the side of Order so thats 18300 more points for Order and 3000 more for the bad guys.

We have a 1,000,000 point game

well 1 mill in total...i wanna see 1 mill on each side looool imagine that...then imagine the game mechanics during play...a single movement phase...the dice needed for a single shooting phase...for one type of unit no less. it would be the most epic Guinness world record ever 2 gazillion dice rolled at 1 time lol.

okay lets see...i pledge 1200pts chaos and 2000pts daemons so the talley now should be:

Order: 618,260

Destruction: 518,534

oh man almost 100k diff...no way i'm redoing destruction math, this cannot be!

Thats ok, Chaos can have a few Strategems to make up the difference.

1000 points of Crimson Fists

Posted earlier, forgot to add them up to the total.

Order: 619,260

Destruction: 518,534

So when can we rent Dodger Stadium?

Grey Templar wrote:So when can we rent Dodger Stadium?

Maybe we should do it regionally? Have a battle for each state/county/province? Then tally who won at the end?

okay we are getting some mathhammer errors here lol

i went though and found a 20k pt mistake for destruction around the top of page 2 and it was cool till this last page where we shot up 518,534 to my total count at 499,481 at this current post.

so it's clear that i am wrong and tzeentch has obfuscated my math ability.

Order: 619,260

i don't trust those order guys.......loooool

Let's do it.

Grey Templar wrote:So when can we rent Dodger Stadium?

Why a stadium?

Airfield

Sure , you rent the Stadium and Dakkanauts will come...

40k points should be ~ 1000 models , so 1000k may be ~ 25000 models.
Otoh if these 1mio points is invested in Guardsmen > ~ 166.000 models. Now, your turn to move..

Now imagine it in grots 3 pts per model x lots = brain hurts!

That's a fun army to move...

3500 points of extremely viscous Tau

Disorder- 12500 points of orks, 15000 points of Tyranids, 2500 points of Oldcrons, 2500 points of Chaos Space Marines. I also have about 3000 or so points of old genestealer cult models.

Please post the totals guys.

We had: Order: 639,760
Destruction: 520,534

Plus you two it's: Order: 639,760
Destruction: 561,084

And Kain's 3000 points of genestealer cults. I'm not sure if we want to add these or not, seeing as they have no rules currently.

Sounds fine. I doubt anyone will complain , seeing that destruction is behind by 80k, afterall.

Order: 639,760
Destruction: 564, 084

I wonder what we should all do when one guy turns out to have a Imperator Class titan or Mega Gargant cosplay suit up their sleeve.

ill enter my friends apoc forces

- 12k chaos, inc: 2 chaos warhounds, and a chaos reaver
- 10k SM - inc 2 reavers, and 4 thunderbolts, caestus.

i think that makes a total of
order 642760
destruction 574084

Crazy numbers. I'm glad people are still contributing. Anyone else interested in setting up this massive game?

I have a friend who may have an area big enough, but I don't know how she'd react to having a hundred nerd showing up in her lawn with a few million tiny plastic models

Not to mention getting everyone in one place.... We could always run an electronic campaign?

maybe 3.5k black templar.

about a 1k each of orks and chaos

order 646260
destruction 576084

Put me down for about 3k for destruction!

order 646260
destruction 580084

I've got about 7k Guard, Marines and Tau, so bringing the total up to

order 653260
destruction 580084

No wonder Abbadon has such trouble

My wife has about 15000 points of Eldar, 5k sisters of battle. Brother has another 12k nids and 17.5k orks that he's been collecting for the better part of two decades. Dad has 10k Dark Eldar, 7.5k Chaos Space marines and 10k Chaos Daemons (he had a lot of daemon models before the split).

My best friend has an impressive 20k Necron collection that he's collected since 3e.

We are now on:

Order = 673,260
Destruction = 637,084

order 12,000

30,000 of very old orks, 15,500 CSM, 5,000 Tyranids, 1,000 GK

O: 674,260
D: 687,584

Huzzah!

Destruction out-numbers order!

And not surprisingly, the Orks are probably the majority of destruction.

One purifier gets into one giant Multi-assault with all the Orks. BOOM!, 200,000 points of Ork Boyz die

Grey Templar wrote:One purifier gets into one giant Multi-assault with all the Orks. BOOM!, 200,000 points of Ork Boyz die

And then Gazghkull uses "Rok 'em boyz" and kills all the imperial guardsmen.

for what it's worth, destruction- orks 2000, tyranids 2000.

Didn't know we were including family. In that case add 40k of Space Marines and one Farsight

Order 726,820 (possible slight error due to me not knowing how much farsight costs)

Destruction 693,084

Really? Huh, i woulda figured you for one of those "50-60k of stuff i've been collecting since 2nd edition" types.

No sir, nothing of the sort. Our group doesnt really get huge armies like that. Though I do have some scrap piles laying around just egging me on to turn them into gargants and the like. That would jump the points up

ya know, all these CSM and Ork armies (especially) make me wonder how many Ghazzies there are, and how many Abaddons and Typhus' and Big Mek's etc... we Destruction guys could have a Waaagh! each and every turn... which means the only real solution is exterminatus..Order may as well not even show up. lol

You say that, but your adding more to the good guys! What a sissy! You know its way more fun to just smash stuff for smashing stuffs sake right?!?!?!

That's why I'm building up chaos at the moment.

GW makes it cost more like a house to get SoB up to that apoc level, so chaos is begin to grow.

KingCracker wrote:You say that, but your adding more to the good guys! What a sissy! You know its way more fun to just smash stuff for smashing stuffs sake right?!?!?!

Too right. I devorer countless armies because I like it. People who playgood guys are duty bound to defend. They don't get to do what they like, whereas evil does whatever. All my armies are evil, even my GK are renegades, (never gonna happen really but funny to see other GK players reactions).

Order i guess, but only barely.

Destruction:786,884

I'll throw in my gaming group

2k CSM
2k Crons
2k Daemons
2k Orks
2k Nidz

4000 Blood Angels

Order 780,670

For the Imperium!
2900 points of GK
2750 points of Guard, including Baneblade.
1100 points of Deathwing
And one Tau battlesuit, so 30 points there.

6780 more for order, which means:
Order 787,450
Destruction 796,884

Come on guys, where are the titans at?

this is actually much closer than i thought it would be, i expected IOM to be dominating

7.5k Tyranids, give or take a few thousand points.

Order 787,4550
Destruction 804,384

Who is going to bring terrain?

We'll use the actual real-world terrain on the planet we rent out to play this.

WELCOME TO RAGNAROK

Put me down for 6,000 points of Order and 2000 of Disorder.

Grey Templar wrote:Who is going to bring terrain?

Whoever's crazy enough to consider it... that means you

900 points for order. I don't have enough disposable income to throw away at new models. :(

Again, please update the totals after posting!

We are at:
Order 788,1450
Destruction 806,384

Putt me down for 4000 points worth of Orks

this brings the tally up to:

Order 788,1450
Destruction 810,384

GHA!! math error on order AGAIN?

take off that extra digit at the end there, and recalculate please.

Almost 8 million for the order, ah!

Thats just the PR campaign... to prevent despair leading to the citizenry turning to Chaos for a picker-upper

One thing the IOM does have, is a great PR department

Just remember half of destruction's points are neutralized by infighting and miscommunication.

And they don't have Earthshakers, I love Earthshakers, we need more Earthshakers.

And another portion can be neutralized by a couple of Purifiers in one big multi-combat

And all these SM armies killing each other at every tournament are just using paint-bolters, hmm?

As to the purifiers... enough has been said about that cheesy BS alreadxy, so i'll hold in the rant

We don't have earthshakers. Until we loot them, and they suddenly nosedive in killing power anyway We need more Earthshakers

We DO have the christmas tree of world destroying though

Is really proud of Converted, magnetized stompa!

Sees others armies, imagines the 10 or so gargants they will have. Cries a little.

Anyway, back on topic, I have:

Destruction:
3k orks
250 Dark Eldar

Order:
1750 Blood Angels

And then there's the family.
1st bro: 2k Vanilla Marines
2nd bro: 1750 Nidz
Dad: 1.5k Tau

So in total, Destruction: 5k, Order: 5250
So disappointed that I had to add more to order than destruction, consirdering I am an ork at heart. Got another Gazzy for you guys!

If only we could put the Earthshakers at their maximum range away, they'D be unlootable

There are couple of People on here who can probably bring more to the table then you would possibly believe, i'm talking 50,000 points minimum. If you were to start this thread over and set a minimum of say 20,000 points and a they must supply a picture of the force or we call BS it would make it alot more interesting because at the moment this lacks Wow factor.

A wow factor may get the views, but maybe not the posts?
I'd think everyone is welcome.

So where are all these SM armies, filling each table like many want to make one believe?

Hey now, there's no need for that sort of attitude. We're all friends here.

..After all, if it were that easy to kill snikrot, i'm fairly sure it would have happened a long time ago, seeing that he's one of the major problems on Armageddon right now.

Aaaaand a Rok smashes down on it, miraculously missing Snikrot..


We can play smacktalk games all day, but it almost always ends in Big E reawakening or someone declaring Exterminatus, which pretty much spoils the fun

(or the ladz could loot the Imperator IOM titans have been looted mid-battle before )

I only have 1.5k of nilla marines to bring to the table.

so
Order: 798,200
Destruction: 825,884

Well, looks like it's turned into Orks vs IOM... Guess Eldar, Tau, Chaos and co can go sit on the sidelines...

Pretty much they do, fluffwise, barring occasional abberations..

I'd say Chaos cultists and renegades are the most prevalent.

If Orks vs IoM is the major event, the rest can fight for the seats on the sidelines to watch... we should have only 1 seat per 10 contenders maybe, to make it entertaining.

Not sure if the Orks can discipline themselves to stay on the battlefield tough, maybe its not so safe as audience..

How many Gazzys are included in this fight?

Or Draigo's for that matter !!

Naw, the Orks would only really start the infighting once the battle was getting stale and they were pretty much done kicking everyone elses ass. THATS when they get bored and start krumping their own heads.


As to the Ghazzy question, Id answer 1 real Ghaz, and then 1 "not Ghaz" for every other Ork army on the table
