Annual Megabattle thread of dooom.

[jesterofthedark]

I bet there are at least 5 players on each team that are not planning to bring either a super heavy or flier to this year's mega battle.  So, its probably a non-issue at this point.


As for the greatest deamon, has forge world put out rules for the model they just unveiled as the greatest lord of change???

[General Leevous]

Just the model. There's no rules at all for it so I helped dan with fair rules.

[Chase]

I'd like to keep the custom rule things (Data Sheets?) to a minimum this year.  It just opens up the flood gates for whining.

Please make an effort to use models or stats that have already been put out.  If you MUST tweak something it should more or less be accepted by everyone on here if it's going to be used.


Derek and I know so little about stat lines, special abilities, and point costs...  The opinions of many are great, but unless they are the opinions of everyone you can be assured that we are going to hear about it one way or another.

Also, if you are going to do custom stats and all that and it does end up getting the "go ahead" PLEASE make sure the model represents what you've come up with.  It needs to be DIFFERENT than any other model.  Don't show up with a normal looking Bloodthirster on a bigger base, call it Bang'grath, and have a cool new stat line to surprise your opponents with.

Hopefully I do get the go ahead and Yes the model itself is very well represented. Its much bigger than Aangrath and comes from forgeworld. I'd have no trouble providing a link to the picture if need be.

[Grand Master Steve]

Forge world is releasing a second appocolyps Imperial Armor book. I think the big chicken of change will be in it.

[YuCeh]

The question is if they ill release it in time and if I'll be able to get a copy.

[Moosifer]

 believe it is out already.

[YuCeh]

What book? And it isn't vraks III I've looked into it

[YuCeh]

Well Open mouth, insert foot?

[jesterofthedark]

Its the Imperial Armor 2 book, the deamon's name is Aetaos'rau'keres - Tzeench's Slayer of Souls.


Sadly at this time I can not find any hints as to what his rules would be.

As for trying to make fair rules I would use the current rules for Zarakynel, Scabeiathrax and An'ggrath as a template.  

[YuCeh]

Now only if I could find the data sheet n such, or at least not have to pay so much for the book.

The above links to a rumored set of rules for Aetaos'rau'keres.   Apparently, someone got a look at a pre-release copy of the book, and tried to memorize.  I wouldn't consider it official.

Also, http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Chaos/lordofchange/locp2.jpg for a picture.

Hopefully, someone will be getting a copy of the book in the next few months.

[jesterofthedark]

Dan what model are you getting from forgeworld that is sufficent to count as this bad boy??

Also, I think for simplicity's sake we should go with table bids, I like the idea of one bid.  Sadly, it seems to be unrealistic given the pace and set-up differences that look like they will be forming in the tables.
