Im def a newb when it comes to apocalype im just wondering what ammount of points we are looking at as far as armies go (my guess is 2500-5000). Also im wondering if current model points are going to be lowered, raised, or either depending on the model (what i mean is a basic space marine going to cost 15 pts still?).

3000 pts minimum and no points change. It's just a 40K expansion and will not affect core rules or points

yeah, 3000 points min. the only things they are bringing out stats for are the superheavy vehicles, titans etc so basic codez values will be the same still.

there is no maximum points though, in WD this month they had a 21000 point battle!

And...the focus of play is slanted 100% towards the non-competitive game.
It's designed for fun afternoons/evenings/weekends of play, not competition.

the other thing about apocalypse is that there are no FOCs, so if you want 10 Landraiders and 15 Vindicators and 1 squad of Tactical marines it is legal (albeit an odd list).

points are included for all of the Apocalypse stuff, but ultimately, they're more for the sake of arguement than actual practice. Once you hit about 5000 points, 100 points here and there stop mattering as much.

Yeah, once you get to , what...225 points difference[I don't have my copy here at work] the person who is short points gets a strategic asset.

Or better said: for every 225 points difference the person short points gets a strategic asset. I think it's 225 at least. It's in the ballpark.
