So I was just wondering how big of games people have played, in any game and if you have pics that would be awesome.

I wish I had pics.

3000 point D-Day scenario. Back when I played Emperors Children. It was me a Guard and Dark Eldar player with our super heavy the Baneblade vs Space Wolves, tau and orks with a Stompa.

Brutal fething fight. My land raider was thrown by the stompa into a unit of guardsmen squashing them, then it wrecked a defiler.

wow that's awesome

At our. game store, the last saturday of every month is Apocalypse day. We played one time with two teams four people to a team playing 2000 points per person, there were 'nids, demons, space marines, orks...madness.

There are pictures of a 50,000 point battle somewhere. The largest battle I've played was 1000 points. Yes, mock me.

I played a 10,000 point per side 1v1 once.

the game was decided when I flank marched a squad of 3 baneblades into the rear of the enemy. the opening volley was destructive, but the REAL damage happened when he charged them with zerkers / daemon princes, and 2 of the 3 went nuclear in the middle of army. The remnants were gunned down by my mechanized imperial guard companies (I had a full tank company, and a full mechanized company in chimeras)

other highlights of the game are when he fired off a turn 1 blind barrage to block my advance, and to hold the line, I had 20 grey knight terminators charge through the smoke, and engage his front line of troops, to hold them back for my guardsmen to reposition to repel their advance.

Biggest game I've played was on a trip to Warhammer World which was organised by the guy who ran the store. We were on the large table with the fortress built into it. I have honestly never seen as many Super Heavies in one game before. It was simple 3 Objectives, being the wrecked Reaver, and each of the two gates.

Our side after deployment. The blue Warhound to the left is mine!



No-one is getting to that gate anytime soon!



Titan standoff!



We scored a solid victory: nothing got close enough to the gates, and my squad of Kasrkin held the Reaver wreckage completly unnoticed!

I think the biggest one I was in was an Imperial vs. Tyranid battle held at Miniature Market a couple months back.
I recall that the Nids were ournumbered by about 5,000 points, and there was around 110,000 points on the table, all told.

We're about to do a 4 player, 2000 pt apiece army game in a couple of weeks (I'm fervently trying to finish off the last couple of squad for my CSM as we speak). It'll be Black Templar + CSM vs Nids and Orks. Should be a heck of a time.

Of course, I'm trying my damndest to set up an 8x8 ft table for it but between finishing my squads and having to build the terrain, it's gonna be close.

15000pts.
Was a bit meh. There was a TFG on the other team. Its well documented that we hate each other (but are civil, this is britain..)

Ended up in a rules argument that halted the game and stopped it going past thier turn 2.
They won on objectives as we only had 1 turn and "lost track of time"

Biggest game you say? Here's mine....



This was... ace, in the vid, at the start I'm the guy with the bandanna on at the bottom, I think I'm wearing a yellow shirt but we had a hellova lot of fun!

Years ago, back in 3rd edition (or maybe the very start of 4th), we played a "mega battle" that had over 90,000 points per side. Each "table" was actually four 4' x 8' tables pushed together, and had two teams of 5000 points plus one super heavy per 2500 points. In other words, each table had 20,000 points plus up to eight super heavies.

The gaps between tables were said to not exist, and one couple travel/shoot across gaps.

People really got to use a Basilisks' entire range....

40,000pts per side with 4 players per side.

10people no super heavies or anything with a D strngth.....80k points....it was a clsuter next 80k game supers were allowed.

400,000 points per side. Basically it took the entire week end. Of course i made 12k points. and one player Had the largest army i've ever seen 100k points. :O
I don't know if that sad or awesome.

My friends and I did a 10K per side Apoc game a few weeks ago. My partner had to leave round the top of turn two and I was feeling rough, so we folded it at that point. No pictures for pretty much the same reason. Our big mistake with the game lay in the prep and that we were doing 20K of models on a 4x8 table with only a Pulsa Rokkit in terms of super heavies. There are few things that eat space like a 10K Waaagh.

If you're doing a game of that size, you really can't mess with lists the day of and I really should have proxied a couple of Stompas or something to eat the points up. There's just no way 10000 points of Orks isn't a frightening amount of models.

I just played in a 106k Apoc game at GW Portola Plaza

The biggest battle I've played was last Saturday. It was a LOTR battle of helm's deep, we had a total of 500 mini's on the table

there was a 16 person (or close to it) apocalypse battle that I played in. It was mildly hilarious, I was orks, sitting next to IG, he kept asking if it was the shooting phase yet, and I kept asking if it was the assault phase yet.

I was also on the side of the table where there just wasn't much stuff.

Well I'm off to work at 9, but when I finsh at 10.30 am going straight to my flgs to take part in a 12k a side apoc game. I'm resposible for half of my team so for once I get to use nearly all my stuff.

A 3v2 game with 6000 points per side. That was a long time ago - these days it's hard to get a 2000 point game going.

the biggest game was at gw oakridge its was a 6000 pt apocalypse 4 man teams i used my orks and we squashed them lots of nids on both sides

This one. Overall it was 12000 points of my Guard, about 15000 of Eldar and 6000 of GKs.

That was our side.


We faced an equivalent army of Chaos and Traitor Marines on the other side.

Back in 2001 for WHFB- 25,000 points per side WHFB- My Bretonnians vs another player's O&G. Hee had 100 squig hoppers running down flank, back when you had to roll for mvt of each hopper.

2000 in UK at the Central London wargames club we played all day on a ballroom floor- 20 or so players.
One guy turned up with the entire DA chapter (it was a couple months after the LR released and he had bought 27 on the day they were released) He drove the LR's on as a tank wedge, then deep striked 20, 5 man terminator units, and the command groups all over the table.
The rest of the chapter was already on table.
No ideas about points.

Ork Fest 2009 was the biggest I've played...

Ork fest 2010 is going to be bigger...

http://www.the-waaagh.com/forums/?showtopic=43028

so far 30 players signed up...

here are pics from orkfest 2008

http://buonanno.org:81/rrb/displaycase/Orks/Orkfest08/

Mine was a 3 of us, having 3k each. So 9k total. It was pretty awesome, but took forever

I played 3k IG supporting 4 warhound titans and 2 reaver titans, all old skool. Dont remember how much that was points wise. We faced even points space wolves.

3600 points 1v1, Tyranids (Me) against Tau.

I have organized some very large battles in the past. I think the largest was about 20 - 25 players and a total of about 98,000 points on the tables. We completely filled up our local store and had bridges built to link tables together. All of this was pre-Apocalypse rules. We used timed phases to keep things moving and completed 6 turns in about 12 - 13 hours.

My list was 8,000 points of Tyranids including titans.

The Glen Burnie Battle bunker had one of the iron painter events. Were you staying open all night from games and painting.

We had 6 people 3v3 empty all the stuff they came with, then we evened teams.

I had ogre’s dark elves and lizard man, my brother played with daemons warriors and vampire counts.

We ended up having every army on the table. It took all night but we finished the game. About 56k on the table. Really fun game.
