Anointed with oils?  Don't you mean boiled in oil?

Any chance you could post a little picture of it (or even a corner of it) so that I can match the colors of the towers to the concrete base? If not, just give me a basic color description or something.

Thanks!!!

   I'm planning on being there on Friday after work (after 5).  I will paint the bridge at that time.  Sorry for the late finish, my family has been ill for most of this week.

   I was thinking about painting the bridge similar to the way I painted the buildings I made for last year's Megabattle.

   I'll see you then.

Necrons. How do you want to deal with their phase out rule? Combined count amongst all necron players? Or just per player?

If I'm not mistaken, I thought I heard someone say that according to the Apocalypse rules, the Necrons are free from the Phase Out Rule for Apocalypse battles.

No Phase out is a Common House rule for mega battles. similar to the max range on unlimited range weapons. Its so necron players can spend all there points on monoliths and pylons and not bring useless warriors to the battle.

remember apocalypse was writen so you ignore all points limits and bring EVERYTHING they own..necrons with a unit of gray knights and those harlaquins you bought all working together in a happy happy family. with a Brood Lord.

Right.  It's an example of a house rule in the Apocalypse book, which makes some sense because of what this game is.  In last year's megabattle we ignored Phase Out.
It's the throwing phase now.

i was on the receiving end on occasion

I remember. I just wanted it to be an "official" houserule so everyone remembers :P

Also. I hear there's a bridge. God gave us bridges so that we can burn them in times of war. Can we do it on Saturday? (maybe give it a ton of structure points or something).

The bridge, as well as other objectives and large pieces of terrain, will be considered "part of the table" and cannot be removed or destroyed.

For better or for worse... ;)

No vortex grenade?  How hilarious it would be to see a baneblade sinking.

Whaaaa? I can understand the bridge, but c'mon -- it's part of the fun if objectives, hills, forrests get sucked into the warp by vortex grenades :)

Basically, anything that's not a permanent part of the table should be free game to destroy, given the right equipment ;P

c'mon Chase!
