Megabattle score

[the_trooper]

Pro tip:  Giant titans en masse seemed to not work out very well.  Troops on the ground, in Valks, Vendettas, Stormravens, Thunderhawks, and on the opponents table edge appear very effective.

Fortunately, disorder can't take most of those and can't flank march nearly as easily.

Disorder can figure it out.  Not being able to take them isn't what lost us the game.

Not cramming terminators into stormlords while on the fly convincing organizers to disallow datasheets without real evidence didn't either.

[Logan007]

one of our players also technically cheated.

Must've missed that part. Care to explain?

Sure -- it's this:

As for terminators, not sure that 7 counts as “cramming”.

We're not allowed to put units from one codex into a transport belonging to another codex.

Yes 50 points of dkok confused me on how they could select a model to drill up under and not mishap is all.

Played with a big robot, done it don't think I will do it again.

They have magnets inside.

HOW DO THEY WORK?

Really? I never would have thought of that. Superheavies are just that thing you use, and it's not the first time it's been done. I got the idea from Epidemus in said plague tower.

Well I do apologize, and I'm seriously gob smacked over that. Stupid bloody way to look at it, but if that's the way it's meant to be fair enough. I understand the complaint. I had thought you were just screwing around....


So apparently peer reviews of lists failed too.


Damn that's annoying. Yeah I get others are annoyed too, but I really .. never mind. Sorry 'bout that.

Well... a stormlord is an Imperial Guard superheavy, so it's an available transport to Imperial Guard.  You couldn't take it if you were playing Space Marines straight.  You could, I suppose, but it would be an Imperial Guard vehicle for the mixing armies rule.

The Plague Tower is a Chaos super-heavy (specifically Nurgle), and Epidemius is a Chaos character (also, Nurgle).  So it would make sense that you could transport him - just as you could transport Commissar Yarrick in the Stormlord.

I'm sure not everybody played straight by the rules on either side, on this scale it's expected that rules would be overlooked - purposefully or not.  But the mixing armies rules was shoved down our throats multiple times - it's something good to remember.

Actuaully he plague tower is chaos space marines, Epidemus is daemon no?
So it would also be wrong here.

Oh well, now I'm kinda bummed.

Now what to do with my cool storm lord a repaint and hope for plastic Ogryns maybe....

[Rob S]

Epidemus is daemon no?

He is?  Hmm... something to look into.

[Benjamin]

Epidemius is listed in the Chaos Daemons codex.

[the_trooper]

Before the gears turn in that direction, the only time Epidemius was inside a plague tower was during the test megabattle where we wanted to mix technologies.  I can say that with certainty because I am one of two people who own a plaguetower.

[Benjamin]

... the test megabattle where we wanted to mix technologies.

It's ok Alan, there were misunderstandings on both sides. It was an honest oversight and now you know about it. It wasn't as though it was malicious, considering most of us play apocalypse rules (at most)a few times a year it's understandable that there will be a few mistakes.

[Ed]

WOW . . . i am so angry now this has ruined the event for me. now i see a unlikely return 

THANKS!

[GossWeapon]

That's alright were starting a pokemon megabattle in July, start catching!

[Achillius]

considering most of us play apocalypse rules (at most)a few times a year

I'd like to fix that part.
Seeing the massed armies reminded me Apocalypes doesn't happen enough. Aside from the smack talking that's gotta be one of my favorite things about the hobby. Playing with the cool big toys...

Wonder what it'd take to get an apocalypse "Campaign" going...

Cheers,
