Me and my friends decided to have a casual....MASSIVE apocalypse battle for giggles. with 6 players 3 per side the forces are as follows

"good" - all around forces of the imperium

"evil" - Emperor's children, Slaanesh demons, World eaters, Khorne demons, and tau (silly tau they just want to belong...)

The teams split to discuss strategy, strategic assets and set up time. The forces of evil bid 6 minutes to the forces of goods 10, so we (myself and the khorne and tau player) set up first. because the tau player didn't show up when everything was getting set up, we made him take all his points into strategic reserve.

After everything was all set up and the sides were drawn, The forces of good reveal their network of tunnels asset (or whatever the hell its called) and the vital objective asset (the games is for 6 objectives 2 per side and 2 in no mands land)

"evil" turn 1

The evil players start their turn, the chaos gods smile upon us and favour our roll for demons, 3 squads of demonettes hit the feild aswell as a bloodthirster. everything expect for a few fire support squads and vehicles rush forward. In the shooting phase lascannons gallore open up, nothing is destroyed, 1 land raider of 3 is immodalized, 1 lemen russ of 4 is shaken, one dread of 2 (on the board) is immobalized. both defilers fire but to no avail, khorne beserkers rush towards a line of vindicators and a few scouts. Noise marines open fire on the only squad in range and kill 5 conscripts and another squad takes out 3 marines. The assault phase dosn't bring much action, 2 demon princes make it into the fray khorne takes on the conscripts, and slaanesh takes on a tactical squad. both go unwounded and both enemy squads pass their leadership tests. and thus ends turn one for chaos (+tau who must be in the bathroom or something)

"good" turn 1

At the beginning of their turn, we reveal the blind barrage strategic asset it almost completely blocks their tank line, all the fire support and half of the tabble for the baneblade. only 4 vidicators, 3 lemen russes, and a bassalisk can shoot. the enemy for the most part only moved a few token models. the shooting phase comences, one rhino gets blown up and 6 bezerkers die. in the assault phase the khorne demon prince falls to the conscript squad after taking only 2 more with him (I expected better of khorne [and the person whos playing him])

and so ends the first turn, I will post more as the battle progresses over the next couple days (as well as pictures when i figure out how). Til the please comment and critique where you see fit!

For hosting pictures, just use Imageshack. You don't have to sign up for anything.

Other than that, a nice beginning for the Ruinous Powers (and the silly Tau). I hope the Dark Gods (and the Greater Good) smile upon this battle! Burn the Imperium!

Also please not some awesome models have been mentioned! however most if not all the super heavies and the like have been proxied (we're pretty casual with that kinda stuff)

 

[Erinyi]

Aww What seemed like a really interesting match for me got totally blown out the window with your mention of the superheavies being proxied.

I'll check in and read the updates, but shame on you sir! I hope you haven't fielded unpainted models atleast, and that the proxied models aren't toasters and the like.

Otherwise, thumbs up for trying to write a report on a large apoc game.

 

[Gulstaf]

Well Erinyi, as i've said we're a casual group, and a young one aswell. I must further dissapoint you in saying that no, many of the models are not painted, some of the players are new to the game so they have an excuse, where as me, i've changed paint schemes a number of times and just have a generally difficult time staying focused enough to paint more than one model at a time. but if you're playing with friends I don't think it matters if your models are unpainted or even represented by sticky notes, Warhammer is a game and therefore something to be enjoyed by people of all skill levels and levels of dedication.

Anywho, lets begin with turn two shall we?

"evil" turn two

Once again the tau player is unprepared so only chaos reserves make the table. At this point we reveal our second of 3 strategic assets, Flank march. More demons are summoned (next to the demonettes so as not to skatter) the three squads of bloodletters make the feild as well as the seekers and keeper of secrets. the keeper however does not follow other demons he/she/it leads! it deep strikes deep behind the imperial lines and sets its eyes on the imperial firing support (heavy bolter teams, mortars, and devestators). A pair of dreads enters play dirrectly behind the enemy baneblade, upon rolling to see if they have a case of the crazies, one dread is fine whilst the other enters blood rage and sets its eyes even more so on the baneblade i suppose. another 20 man squad enters play also from the enemies table edge and 3 obliterators follow suit. The 20 man squad eyes an objective inside some ruins while the obliterators decide to lessen the number of vindicators on the feild. lucius, 2 obliterators, and a 5 man terminator squad all enter from the left side of the board aswell. one major point of interest this turn, a champion from the 20 man squad runs off screaming before bursting in a shower of blood, leaving Zarakynel eyeing up the enemy troops. In the movement phase everyone rushes forward again, except for a few predators. A terminator squad disembarks for one land raider and stares down commisar yarrik and the squad he is assisting. The shooting phase once again brings very few casualties, one of the lemen russ gets metled to scrap, a defiler shot misses the intended bassalisk but takes out some snipers, the other defiler takes out a few heavy bolter platforms. the predators all open fire once more but to little affect (one heavy weapons biker, and a stunned lemen russ) the 3 obliterators in the back manage to stun, and destroy the demolisher cannon on a vindicator the two on the left immobalize and destroy the lazer turret on the chimera. the squad of terminators on the left shoot some conscripts. and the Lightning claw terminators give yarrik and his squad the buisness end of a heavy flamer. so ends the shooting phase. in the assault phase the terminators and lucius both annihalate the squads of imperial gaurd they eyed down, some demonettes tried to take on the massive conscripts squad but were enveloped into it after inflicting a handful of casualties, the other 2 demonette squads fare much better, one all but wipes out a techmarine and his body guards, and another goes toe to toe with a dreadnaught, they don't damage it but only two are lost. my biker lord and his retinue charge a squad of marines with a captain and vet? the roll for his demon weapon causes the lord a wound and combat goes down hill from there for them. the Lightning claw terminators destroy yarrik and his squad. one of the demon princes of khorne (the not dead one) attacks a vindicator and stuns it aswell, and the bezerkers take out some scouts. finally Zarakynel completely owns some dude from the dark angels on a jet bike. and the now 19 man squad slaughters a 10 man tactical squad.

"good" turn 2

At the beginning of the good turn, a roll is made to see if yarrik shall once again walk the earth (yarrik is a zombie!) and he fails (this prompts slander from the chaos side such as stay down, death to the false emperor and what not). A techmarine repairs the imobalized land raider (which also prompts some shaking fists from the "evil" side). the forces of the imperium bring in some of their considerable reserves aswell, a thunderhawk gun ship hovers in carrying two rhinos both with full honour gaurd inside. and a dread naught with homing becon deep strikes behind my noise marines in front of our ruins, another pod follows and 10 shooty terminators come to say hello (librarian included). an imperial gaurd command squad disembarks from the imobalized chimera, and a special weapons team from a random rhino in the middle of the board. finally ten more close combat-e terminators disembark from the land raider crusader right in front of my other noise marine squad. The shooting phase brings them not much luck either, however they do insta kill the mounted khorne lord, and zarakynel obsorbs an impressive amount of gunfire, but in the end she is sent back to the warp from wence she came. the bloodletters in front of the still large conscripts squad are shot quite a bit and a few fall, my noise marines are all but destroyed with two squads of two and one of 8 left. a librarian tries to use hell fire on the 19 man squad but rolls a 3 for strength, so they felt a warm breeze but not much else. combat is nothing special this round, the demonettes finish what they started with the tech marine, the other squad destroys the dreadnaughts close combat arm and stuns it, and my noise marine squad faught valiantly but were reduced to a fine red mist by their terminator attackers.

Thats all for now, stay tuned for turn 3!

 

[Gulstaf]

Well, unfortunatly the battle had to be called at the second turn, due to issues with space and a few of the players having trouble making time to finish the game. However, it was decided that due to the number of reserves the evil still had, the fact that we controlled 4 objective already, and still had the corrupt and despoil strategic asset, that chaos (and tua) won overall.

sorry to dissapoint everyone, the next battle however will be seen through to the end.

 

[Scott-Dixon]

what do you mean when you say the superheavies have been 'proxied'?

 

[ROT]

Proxied generally refers to a model being 'Used as'

For instant using a model tank from 'Model tank weekly' as a temporary baneblade.

 

[Minizke1]

*sigh*

first thing I see in the video- Lego Republic Gunship being used as a Stormraven.

 

[Vaz]

You resurrected this thread to post that?

What a disappointment; I was here hoping that we get a necromancing with something useful to add.
