Megabattle VI - Saturday, January 11th

[Battleground]

In an effort to gauge the size and interest level in the Megabattle scheduled for Saturday, January 11th at the Abington location, I'd like to get a sound off from people who are planning to attend. For anyone who doesn't know what the Megabattle is, it's a 4000 point per person, Order vs. Disorder, Apocalypse themed 40k event. This will be Battleground's sixth time running it.

For the Megabattle to be worth running, we'll need at least 20 people to commit (approximately 10 per side).

Specific rules for the event will be forthcoming, assuming the interest level is there. Respond in this thread if you are very likely to attend.

Is 4000 points the minimum or Maximum point requirement?

It's pretty loose, but assume it's a maximum.  Some interested players may not have the full 4000 points of painted models, but others have lots more and can help fill the deficit.

Just to clarify: I incorrectly put the date as the 10th in the original post. I have changed it to the ACTUAL date of Saturday, January 11th.

Thanks!

I'd love to go but I can't. That's the second to last day of my honeymoon. Sorry D, next year.

I actually specifically scheduled my vacation around this date. I will be there. Unless it gets canceled. 

[Mad Dok Rob]

I am planning on coming.

Question:  I know that we do Order-Disorder, but especially since the new power codexes (tau, eldar, and SM [not really on the same level as taudar, but still up there) and the formations (espeically that stupid stupid tau one) are on the order side, and that the Apoc game is already weighted heavily into the Imperials favor, would it not make sense/be better balanced if it were Imperial versus Everyone else...kind of like what most of the fluff is?

I always thought that would make more sense anyway.  It evens out the number of codexes on each side.

Also, are Eldar really any more orderly than Necrons?  They look less scary I guess...

I can promise that conventional logic and normal "balance" issues don't really apply to the Megabattle.

I would expect some sort of rules outline to show up soon.  A couple people from the Abington community are handling all of that this year.  If I remember correctly, there was some talk about what books might be on what side when they were first rolling ideas around at PAX earlier this year.

Stay tuned.
