Capt K thinking of using my Marines for this one, as I do not have any of the special forge world IG units to bring.  Heck for that matter I don't have any for my Space Marines either.

I understand it will again be 1000 points with 1 Hq ,2 troops and 1 each Heavy Support, FA and Elites.

I could use my IG again, but would need to know what your all want me to bring.

So let me know and I will begin to plott.

Hey Martin,
I know they want you to use your IG for the battle but I did like your thoughts on your SMs. Both vanilla and divergant. CaptK used you as a meat shield so I couldn't maul his puny sisters! If you weren't in the way I would have. Seriously, bringing the marines gives you a change of pace. Commander, Chaplain and a couple of squads tooled out a little with plasma and some sort of heavy could be very effective. I much rather tangle with IG than try to tip toe up tooled out marines. My honest thought.

Keep in mind that we will have extra points to distribute amongst the teams. So, If my plead go through, there will be a lysander wing pounding the the chaos side he he he...

I do vote for you to have your full Lysander Wing.

I think one of the things we should do is load up on Tanks that can take siege shells, Chaos' greatest streangth these past Mega-battles have been their assault forces, anything that can slow there advance abd give us more shooting could tip the scales.

Ok, let me ask this, does anyone know how the extra points will be distributed?

if it can be worked in I have a griffon tank and Mahu said something about the special ammo it can take. I have only used seige shells when I have used it. I think with the ammo and special shells that it is still right at 100 points.

Capt K sent me an e-mail and suggested I use my IG army for this mega battle, so I did agree.


I have extra tanks of the Lemon Russ, demolisher and vanquisher variety. But I think, the extra points were to get things like the forgeworld models and an army like Me Person's.

So Let me know.

Oh Robert;  meat shield???  Ok we will see maybe your obliators will lose their arms very early this time.

My Space Marines are set up to play both as a divergent chapter and a codex chapter.  Love see but don't be seen.  Allows all tactical and devestator squads to infiltrate.  Eye to Eye is the disadvantage of course.  However after reading the resent FAQ for the Space Marines I may have to get 4 more Dreadnoughts as wisdon of the ancients does in fact allow you to take 6 dreadnoughts 3 as heavys and 3 as elites.

I also have a 1500 point first company of space marines that can go to 1755.  Although my 1st company is not lead by a special character, Just my captain Areos and Librarian Ramos.  In case you are wanting to know how that is 2 HQ's 2 Troops and 3 elites.

So maybe down the road you will see the Imperial Eagles.

Oh Wait, my Space Wolves Grey Wolf Pack is comming along very well.  Still need to build a few things, but I have 1000 points now.

Anyway, take care and we will see you.

Have you guys (on the Imperial side) considered the power of massed Whirlwinds? Minefield the heck out of whatever you're trying to protect, and then concentrate on nerfing anything that makes it across piecemeal...

Just a thought.

Interesting Kwade. WW of death 50% of the time. Maybe Capt K will see this as a way to get the guy off the planet.

Mahu and Capt K:

Found the rules for the special shells for the griffion in IA #3 had the seige shells and the Inferno shells as well as others.

Not sure how the next two days will go or my access to a computer after today so I wanted to let you guys know I have the rules.  Can not access the club from work so this will have to do until later.

Take care.
