<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Best/most common point limit for apocalypse?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Best/most common point limit for apocalypse? I was just wondering what you all think the best point limit for apocalypse is.
The reason for this is that my mates have recently started it, and with the new releases, where do I start?
I terms of game length etc., we are looking for games that will last only a few hours, not the half a million point ones you see that last several days

We'll proberly try 3k-6k, I'm thinking 4k so it'll be shortish (hopefully) and we'll get a good amount of units in.
Does anyone know approximately how long this will take?

If you are having 10k per side you can easily play that in a day, so long as a large portion of that are tied up in expensive superheavies and formations. The reasons being are the 1) it reduces the number of models on the table that need to act in a turn and 2) their firepower will remove a lot of enemy models quickly.

Using the normal rules we've once finished 15k on 15k in a few hours just because of the amount of stuff superheavies shot off.

In general, if you're looking for Apoc game tips use the following. Have players bring their armies in increments of 1k with a general max of 3k per player. THis let's you adjust incase one player can only bring 1K, while another can bring 4k. Second, balance the Str.D weapons on each side. Imperial units get them for a discount compared to xenos and it's no fun getting shot off the board first turn.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/538307/5820766.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/538307/5820766.page GMT Re:Best/most common point limit for apocalypse?

5000 points a side/team seams about right.


I've found 5000 to be a nice number for Apocalypse. 5000 is about as many points as one person can reasonably handle without taking forever or going insane. My club also limits each player to 5000 pts when we play big 4 v. 4 or 5 v. 5 for that reason.
