Now... I love me all of my armies! And I love to play apocalyspe and feild all of them... but apocalyspe puts up possibly unbalanced matches! No matter who you are... 2000 points of gaurdsman infantry can't stand up to 1000 points of chaos (I know it's a bit of a hyberbole but I have experinced this first hands.... on a smaller scale.) So I propose a gametype....
____________Warband
It would allow you to feild your stuff whilst preventing an ork player from bringing like two stompas or something (I don't know who would do that... but theres probally that ONE guy, ta know) obviously you would follow the 40k game force organization chart, and not intended for "OH WOW! WHAT GREAT PWN ARMY LIST CAN I MAKE NOW THAT I CAN USE TO KILL EVERYTHING!!!!" , no it would be inteded for playing your favourite models from all of your armies. Now obviously people can't help it if they play tau and orks and they love both dearly

____Be nice, positive feedback, random warhammer pics, or fail picture only please!
(Off topic but, how do I get my hands on a daemon princess?)

Your 'new game' is normal 40k...

There are already rules for playing with large (4k+) points vaules. IE use multiplse FoC

It certainly used to be the rule for large 40k games that if you wanted a bigger game you filled all slots in the standard foc and then started again as normal ie minimum of 1x hq and 2x troops for the next part of your army. If you were doing a really big game you would fill all slots in the second foc and then start a third...

You've lost me. What are you saying?

Well my initial thought was, "Hey, I loves me some apocalypse, but everytime there is a GW apocalyspe event, there is always that ONE guy who has three banebaldes and nine leman russ'. But I love to play ALL my models and fight other people at GW. How can I fix this?" So I drew a small poster featuring a Commisar on a tank, a battle sister, A tau in a crisis suit, and a Pink horror riding a disc of tzeentch, anyway I explained this in the first post, but people hate it (at GW or hobby stores) when you try to play down multiple armies that can't ally (Chaos, Tau, and Dark eldar for example) and play down your favourite models and just fight! That way that ONE guy who has a bunch of apocalyspe vehicles can't ruin everyone's fun (In a 3+ player battle of course)
And I know it's almost exactly the same as 40k, but just take a chill pill before posting your explanation for "NO!" about this.

I would like that, though I always wished they had made a smaller game type including 500pt armies at first for Planetary Empires, that would be sweet.

I'm still really unclear as to what you want. Do you want to pick and choose models from all your armies to just play whatever, or do you want to keep in the FOC, but still have big battles. Both have rulesets officially sanctioned (TM) by GW.

It's more like you're complaining that you want to be able to bring a Daemon HQ, Guard Heavy Support, Tau Elites and SoB Troops. But you'll be damned if anyone else gets to bring whatever they want.

i dont get it, at all

2000 points of gaurdsman infantry can't stand up to 1000 points of chaos

What? Chaos would get ROFLSTOMPED in that matchup. ANY ARMY WOULD. EVER.

I think he basically wants to play Apcalpyse but with no super heavy vehicles cause they "wreck it" somehow.
