Annual Megabattle Rules Questions

[the_trooper]

I assume we will be following the same rules as before.

No sharing teleport homers / icons of fellow players.  But what about your own?

I plan on running a chaos marine list and a chaos daemons list.  The mortals following their rules, the daemons following theirs.  The common bit between the two are Icons. In previous friendly apocalypse games I have ran them together and had the Chaos Daemons come in off the CSM icons.

Can they share their icons as they are both considered chaos icons?

oooo good question

[Warpedfuzz]

Have we gotten any more input as to when it is?

The 3rd is best for me.

[Warpedfuzz]

Also how is it looking for amount of players per side?

[the_trooper]

Pssst, wrong thread. http://www.battlegroundgames.com/forum/index.php?topic=360.0

[jesterofthedark]

as of now the amount of players is still mere speculation.  I think there are those out there planning on showing up but they don't use the boards as much.

but I think Derek was expecting around thirty players in all.

[jesterofthedark]

Yea,

hey anyone from the order side want to chime in on Rich's post about the chaos icons.  I don't see a problem with it, its like allies using transports.  Anyone opposed to this?  I would think that is it was rules ok it would go both ways for marine players using their homers. 


Clarification: the question is can on player us his army, allies included in that.  Each individual player would not be extending army benefits to other players unless it is clearly stated in their respective codexes.

Also, the majority agreed that bell of lost souls was a legal source of data sheets.

but if anyone is interested in fielding a home made data sheet they should be thinking about bring it up now.  That way if something is not approved we can try to offer suggestions to allow it or people will have time to alter their lists.  No one wants to have to redo their armies that night before because they found out that the Ctan they made up if not allowed.

Data Sheet Idea.
I just built a Necron AA gun tower.  I'm basing the points on the IG Hydra Flak-Tank.  Do you think the point cost is OK?

Cost 200 pts
Weapons 4 AA gauss cannons   Range:48, Str:7, AP:4, Heavy 4, Gauss, AA mount

BS 4, Armor; F12 S12 R12

Counts as Immoble, but has Deepstrike (same as the Pylon Special Deployment)
Living Metal
Same Damage effects as pylon (No driver, and no engine) except each weapon destroyed effect takes away one of the Gauss cannons because it has no flux arc.

From the prior thread from Cryptoron.

My questions about this is:  It says 4 AA Guns.  The gause cannons are heavy 4.

Does this mean 16 possible shots?

what about this:

sternguard "eliminator" strike force - 225 pts + models

requirements:

3+ sternguard units in drop pods (one must be 10 strong)

1 captain (must be equipped with a bolter, combi-bolter, or stormbolter and cannot take terminator armor or a storm shield. the captain gains all the sternguard's special ammunition)

special rules:

-strike force (all units must arrive together and within 12" of each other)

-grants the asset "precision strike" (may only be used once and if the captain is alive and on the table)

-advanced targeting systems (all drop pods in the formation only scatter 2d6, pick the highest)

I love how Rich calls this a "friendly" when he wants something, we all know the chaos boyz are dying for revenge after the last drubbing they received.


As for Icons, Bring it on. I'd suggest we keep them per force though. So Riches daemons could not arrive on someone elses Icon.

As for Teleport Homers, same thing, with the exception of the new space marine drop pod rules. That's a little more open.


Cheers,
Alan

I said friendly because my other apocalypse games ended in the opposing player's head being mounted in my truck.  Ask Paul, he has seen the trophy.

That is a trophy of my masculinity.  "I was hit by a bus and... I'M A MAN!"
