Hey ho, i'll take a look too when I get a chance. I would imagine it's not likely to extend as far as that though. Fluff wise I can't imagine the Eldar allies sitting in Commoragh for a while, reminiscing about the good old days before "The Fall" whilst they wait for their train, I mean portal to another plain!

Lol, yeah I get that, though they wouldn't necessarily be sat in Commorragh, so much as in the web way- it could be anywhere.

Still, your game, your call

gordie i aint going to get my chaos done in time.......what do you think about me doing DARK ANGELS or ORCS as i already have a sizable start in both ??? the Falklands has set me back by a considerable mark ???

I've had a look at the allied detachments rules and whilst it doesn't specify anything in regards to the specific war-gear that we've debated, it clearly says that even Battle Brothers can't ride in each others transport vehicles so I reckon this rule would be best enforced in regards to the gates too.

Fell free to choose either dude. There are benefits for both from my point of view. If we have another Ork force that's good cos there's just Morty right now and as they're under-represented at the moment that would help. Dark Angels will bolster the Evangelus Task Force and give it a nice spread of varying chapters. I'd hoped for DA, BA, RG and maybe something else so the force wasn't completely red angels (Plus, if you go DA Mikael and myself can contribute to providing you with further forces for an even larger Apocalypse force).

That makes sense

We're approaching a pivotal point in the progress of the Campaign Weekend. With little over four full months left before December strikes and we're in to counting down the days, I'm trying to encourage everybody to sign on sooner rather than later.

So if you're lurking or hovering please feel free to drop a post and sign up. Better yet, head over to Malestrom Games and pick up your tickets as soon as possible.

http://www.maelstromgames.co.uk/index.php?act=pro&pre=ind_evt_tkt_40k_002_000

Once you've bought your tickets let me know who you wish to attend as and we'll fit you into a task force.

Would like to see how everybody's getting along with the campaign pack and if there are any preliminary lists knocking about too? Feel free to post them!

And the more pics the better!

I would be interested in attending how many points are required 4000?

Would be playing Orks

Hello mcpothead,

The apocalypse game requires 4000 points for sunday but if you wish to bring a larger force I am hoping that there will be the possibility to accomodate them. With this in mind I have suggested in the campaign pack that a base force of 4000 points is created and an additional list with further forces brought in the event we can get a larger game in play.

The campaign pack is available to download from the opening post, and I'm here to field any further questions.

I'll add you to the Ork faction list if you decide you will be attending. In the meantime, welcome to the thread.

Thanks read the campain looks cool. 4000 points in 4months !

1000 points per month Its doable hehe

Good man!

If you need a boost to your points, rememeber STOMPAS!

Shall I add you to the fold?

Yes please my only concern is if I get behind on schedule.

I'll keep you updated though.

No probs...

Post pics if you can...

We've had a few folk sign up recently, which is great. We're looking at 25 players should all attend so far....

If we can spread the word a little and push for more players we'll be looking at an exceptional turn out for our inaugral campaign.

Remember to invite your gaming friends, drop hints at gaming clubs and mention it in the GW stores you frequent.

The more people who attend the better this will be!

Right then, by borrowing a shed load of models from Ginger fella I might just make the 4000 pionts.
This should be fun..
Put me down for Orks if you would please.
Gdd.

Done... (You can borrow a few of mine too mate if you need to).

Welcome aboard!

Orks are looking good for numbers now!

Thanks Geordie. Should be ok for models now, just need to convince the wife that my life would be better with a stompa in it. Either that or make my own.
Also got my ticket now so theres no going back.
laters
Gdd

Yay Stompa!

Yay Ticket!

Hey geordie09 am I still in the tourn? I know or I think I said I would along with megaoiler (Ben) and another but not sure? Pm

Can you clarify game 2? 1500 pts total made up from 300 pts attacking and 300 pts defending or are these as well as the 1500 point list?

Of course dude...

Game 2 each player has a Base Force of 1500 points. Each player also has an additional 300 points for attacking, and another 300 points for defending (This must include foritfications, a minimum of a bastion or customised equivalllent).

The idea is that each player can then augment the 1500 points with an attacking or defending force depending upon the requirements of the narrative. Totalling in an 1800 point game.

The premise is to incorporate a game that has elements of attacker vs defender without using the Planetstrike rules, which not everybody owns and takes up an extraordinary amount of time to orchestrate.

Hope this helps dude.

(The exceptions are Tyranids and DE by the way, as they will be attacking no question)

So do we need to bring the bastion or fotification piece or are there some we can choose from? And the painting competition, can I enter my Stormtalon?

I'd suggest bringing your own yes. This way you tailor your defensive force to your needs, also, I don't think Malestrom hve enough to go around, if any. You can use the entire 300 points on defensive structures if you wish.

Yes Storm Talon will be cool. Only restriction is no super heavies in painting competition.

ahhh no titan for painting comp. warhound sad. :-(

Nevermind Mikeey, the Warhound can take it up with the enemy in the Apocalypse game!

ok my list isdone on army builder just need to finish the models paint them and hope no radical points changes when the codex comes out.........for our boss in the golden lung

Just got my self a stompa from a certain electronics bay.. £47. Already built and painted. Boom! Had
to get the wife some hunter wellies for appeasement though haha.
@ gingerfeller, will get a list of what I would like to borrow to you in the next few days. Is your battle wagon modelled with any sort of weapon or just opened topped? Thanks mate.

@geordie, might have missed this but will there be any restrictions on unique charicters for our lists with regards to being part of a 4 man team? (thinking mainly for the appoc game here)

Gdd.

@Gdd - No restrictions mate, in terms of doubles and apocalypse when the task force is divided, if possible, we'll keep personas duplicatus apart. That'll be a call on the day but I don't want to stop people bringing their most treasured HQ's.

@gingerfeller - Yay Deathwing!

@Gdd again - Yay Stompa!

As the projects begin to come together for the Campaign feel free to post your progress on the thread...

Here's an offering from SpiritofKantor who's made a Bastion for his Game 2 Defence option.

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/469612.page

My progress.

Hmmm. Just acquired another LR, a predator, a rhino, a dreadnought, 3 tactical squads, chapter captain, kick ass librarian in terminator armour and 4 terminator squads.

Just need to paint them now! Still it will mean I have some room for options for game 5 and the all out crimson/imperial fisting!

The massive fisting will make people wince...

That is, the sheer size of the combined Crimson/Imperial Fist Apocalypse forces will make people wince!

I wasn't thinking anything else. Unless we are fighting DE, they are all girls aren't they?
