<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Epididimus and a Nurgle Plague Tower???"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/15.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Epididimus and a Nurgle Plague Tower??? 40k since early 4th edition. He is just now getting back into the swing of things and is interested in a mega-battle the local shop is having. He once had a fairly sizeable Nurgle army, and has accepted that his deamons and Marines are not two separte armies. Certain aspects he even likes about it, such as The Epididimus will effect Plague marines in a mega-battle setting

Now, I was thinking of making my friend a Plague tower. Do you think that a Plague tower would count as a "Nurgle alligned model" for the purposes of Epididimus's special rules?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222715/445623.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222715/445623.page GMT Epididimus and a Nurgle Plague Tower???

by RAW the nurgle plague tower doesnt but you can always talk to your opponent to allow it to affect tally. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222715/445660.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222715/445660.page GMT Re:Epididimus and a Nurgle Plague Tower???
Do yourself a favor, and call the person organizing the megabattle. Don't assume he knows the rules, and explain them carefully, along with what's going to happen Eppy's tally gets to 20 and nurglings start assaulting carnifexes and killing them.

At my shops, this rule is called "Don't be a jerk and try to screw up a mega battle before it starts". Having a lot of nurgle models, Eppy, and a plauge tower would do just that - if you play that the tower adds to the tally, or benifits from it.

Plague towers are quite amazing for their points cost. We've made 2 so far. About 4 times as big as the weedy little thing GW shows in reloaded, that someone made from a seige tower and defiler parts. 6 structure point models shouldn't be the size of a Land raider. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222715/445979.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222715/445979.page GMT Re:Epididimus and a Nurgle Plague Tower??? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222715/445996.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222715/445996.page GMT Epididimus and a Nurgle Plague Tower??? apoc every army.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222715/446228.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222715/446228.page GMT Epididimus and a Nurgle Plague Tower???

This is exactly why I don't take part in GW run Apoc games.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222715/446843.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222715/446843.page GMT Re:Epididimus and a Nurgle Plague Tower???
However, a megabattle where you have no clue who is going to show up, using apocalype rules, is another thing entirely. They usually blow chunks and are over before they start. Everyone is trying to cheeseball the other side. "My entire army assaults your army in the rear on turns 1 and 2". "My 5 monoliths land on your IG army turn 1, causing us to have a great big mess, and 2 hours sorting it out".

Or the classic "My stomper has a 4+ cover save from the Kustom Forcefield". (Oops, that was me. Houserule now says stompers in a Dreadmob cost 250 more points. Brutally broken.)

Half the people are pulling some craptastic secret move, the other half swear never to play the game again.

It's too much work setting them up, to not have a good time. The open ended nature of Apocalypse is based on friends getting together, and working to have a good time. Turn that into random people in a megabattle, and it deteriorates quickly.
