The Big Game IV - The World's Biggest Apocalypse Game

Loken here with news on The World's Biggest Apocalypse Game!

Siegeworld Apocalypse Game

Anyone who knows the guys from Siegeworld in St. Louis, know they are the best Apocalypse club in the country.  And I don't say that lightly.  Despite 3 major Apocalypse clubs being represented at The Big game III, Apoc-Eclipse from North Carolina, my own SoCal Apocalypse and Siegeworld, the Siegeworld guys brought the most players, had awesome armies and were just great guys to play.

They also mastered Floorhammer and you should check their site out here.

Well, they are hosting a game as the FLGS lost its lease and is closing down.  So if you are in that area, please join them.  I guarantee you will have a blast!

The Awakening is a Warhammer 40,000 Apocalypse game between the forces of the Imperium and Eldar against  the forces of the Necrons and allied elements (i.e. Chaos Space Marines, Traitor Guard, etc. as needed to balance the forces).  This is also a farewell Apocalypse event as the Wargamer’s Cave will be losing its lease by the end of July.

Entry fees for this will be $10.00 per person payable at the door.  Entry fees will go towards prize support (most likely a random drawing).  There are initially 14 spots available for this event (7 Imperial/Eldar spots and 7 Necron/allies spots) so please sign up by PM or e-mailing me.

The Los Angeles Battle Bunker - Final Apocalypse Game

The Final Apocalypse game ever at the Los Angeles Games Workshop Battle Bunker will be next weekend, Saturday, February 23rd at 10:00 am.  

Ork Mega-Apocalypse Battle in L.A.

When Greg Teeuwen and I put on a game, we go all out, including serious marketing.  Here is the flyer the always talented game girl geek Damaris Degen, put together for our January 26th game which Greg is running.  Orks vs. the universe!

 

 Hannibel's Orks next to Tayla Wren's Gargant.

In Southern California, we have some big Ork Apocalypse armies.  Greg, Senobio Aguilera and David Ashworth all have 20,000 points each and a huge airforce.    Hannibel Sanchez and his son have an AMAZING force as well, seen above.  They were dominant at last year's The Big Game II.

Da Big Bomma himself, Greg Teeuwen, with his famous Ork Carrier.

So if you live in SoCal, come stomp some Orks (or get run over by the Green Tide) on Saturday, January 26th, 2013 at the L.A. Games Workshop Battle Bunker.

Date: Dec 22, 2012
Location: Wargamer’s Cave: 3665 Nameoki Rd., Granite City, IL 62040
Sign-In Begins: 11:00 AM
Game Starts: 12:00 PM

The following rules will be used for this scenario game:
• Warhammer 40,000, 6th Edition Rules
• Warhammer 40k Apocalypse and Apocalypse Reloaded
• All Official Game Workshop Published FAQs and Datasheets
• All Forgeworld Imperial Armor Publications
• Forgeworld FAQs at my discretion

Note: The order of precedence for rules is as follows
1. Scenario Special Rules/Restrictions (will be published in advance)
2. Games Workshop rules, Datasheets, and FAQs
3. Forgeworld rules and FAQs (Datasheets for Apocalypse overrides Rules in Imperial Armor)
4. Adepticon INAT FAQ

Special Rules:

• Turns will be times. Each player turn will be 45 minutes. Any actions not completed by the end of the turn’s time will not occur. Any actions partially completed at the end of a turn’s time limit are halted immediately and we move on to the next player turn.

• Each player should plan on a 2000 to 4000 point force from any Games Workshop Codex:

• Each player should plan on bringing an army utilizing a somewhat standard force organization (with unlimited points). An additional category will be used, Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD), which includes Super Heavies and Gargantuan Creatures. Note: WMDs will be limited to 0 – 2 and no WMD may have more than 4 structure points.
HQ 1 – 2
Elite 0 – 3
Troop 2 +
Fast Attack 0 – 3
Heavy 0 – 3
Fortifications 0 - 2
WMD 0 – 3

• Formations will take up only one slot in the force organization. (I.e. a Space Marine player brings 5 Predator Annihilators as part of a Predator Assassination formation. This formation takes up only one slot in the force organization. Note that all 5 predators must maintain a formation coherency restriction, which in this case is 6 inches.)

• Formations that have multiple force types will taken on the highest type in the formation. (I.e. an Ork player brings 130 Orks and a Warboss as part of Da Green Tide formation. Since the highest force type in this formation is a HQ, the Warboss, the formation takes one HQ slot in the force organization. Note that all 131 models in this formation must maintain unit coherency of 2 inches.)

• Each Player may choose one free Strategic Asset from Warhammer 40k Apocalypse or Apocalypse Reloaded. Additional Strategic Assets are allowed only if granted by a chosen formation.

• The Strategic Asset “Flank March” is only allowed for a formation that grants it and then can only be used by that formation, regardless of what the Data Sheet states.

• Pulsarokits and Deathstrike Missiles are limited to 1 per player
