Bigger, better, stronger? Unnofficial Annual Megabattle Hype Thread

But my real motivation to go that road begins with whether or not a warlord will be waving his cannon at us from the enemy deployment zone.

It will be waving 4 cannons at you.  4 very big cannons.

    Well as i don't have any super heavies to begin with, I'm not too worried about it.  That's a good point though, about troops being the only units to occupy objectives.   I also all for making a bridge scenario.  I could use all the help i can get, ahem...John.  Let our terrain making skills unite!

well, i plan on using orks. and i intended on bringing as many superheavies as i could build. seeing as i have a great gargant (which i sincerely doubt i'll be using, way too big), 2 stompas, a looted baneblade, an ork landa (thunderhawk), and a pulsa rokkit all made in the span of about a month, god knows what i'll have by the acutal mega battle. dont worry though, ive got 300 or so infantry to back them up.

I wonder if the Dies Irae will be making planetfall in time for this...

[Lykosan]

I dunno but my Webway Assault will be ready to take slaves.

[The_Chef]

Does this mean I need to build myself a superheavy too? honestly. Sims? let me borrow a titan?

There is no whining in 40k!  Only arms build ups.

[Opforce3]

trust me when i say rob and i know about arms build-ups.... we're competing in 3 different games, and with 2 different armies in 40k alone. i'm the soviets

It explains the love affair of Orks.  *rimshot*


(I grew up during the cold war, bite me)

      Anyway, it balances out due to the points.  So i think we were originally talking about the scenario.  What do you guys think about the Bridge too far type scenario?

[Opforce3]

i was talking to derek, and we both were pretty fond of lining up a whole ton of 6x4 tables and just going at it.... just a thought

You mean like a 4 x 30 table?

[jesterofthedark]

more like 12x12, last year's fight was over a city suspended over a lava river.  The river story gave us a good reason to put a 4 ft gap for people to walk through to access the various parts of the board.

more like 12x12

Better be spaces.  We could barely do an 8x12 without using sticks to move figures in the middile.
