wasnt the first megabattle in janurary or feburary? every year it moves back further than last year

Do you humans have a word for 'every 13 months?'  Or is it just that this battleground of yours is on a planet that orbits somewhat slowly...

The reasons for moving the date are many. Here are a few:

People will be home from school, which will free us from having to schedule the Megabattle during short school vacations.

The weather is more likely to be better. Now that we are hosting the Megabattle off site, moving/setting up for the Megabattle in a snowstorm would not be good.

There are lots of conventions that happen between the holiday season and the spring. Trying to plan around those can be problematic.

More time for everyone to build their armies and more time for us to work on the tables and terrain is a nice bonus. :)

Can I just say that I don't understand the logic behind everyone taking a Baneblade regardless of their army. I want a Heirophant Bio-titan for my Guard, but that's not gonna happen.

Best reason ever.

Also, to have a Magus straddling he cannon ala Reign of Fire not only makes it ok but makes it AWESOME.

space marines use baneblades because the imperium is all about stealing ideas. like bill gates.
also, when are the order/chaos boards coming back up it seems like theres already enough talk about the megabattle.

that seems like a contradiction. my strategy: confuse everyone else.
