Nogle B-Day Apocalypse

[nogle]

So, we are doing an Apocalypse battle on Saturday in my back yard for my Birthday. the goal is 35k total on the board for me turning 35! If we have a bit more points, we can bump up

Right now the teams are

Forces of Good
Nogle - Warmaster - Blood Angels
Evan - Death corps of Kreig
Chip - Grey Knights
This Army should include a super heavy tank

Forces of Evil (Chaos marines- Emperors Children, World Eaters, various Chaos)
Buffalo Bill- Warmaster - Emperors Children
Craig - Chaos Marines
Kevin - Chaos Marines
This Army should include - Warhound titan, Angron, Fulgrim

I was looking at the sample schedule and it seems that the rules are set up for 3 "periods" with a lunch and dinner break in between the periods.

Hows this for a schedule? I just took the schedule in the apocalypse book and changed it to a noon 1st turn
11:00- noon- deployment
noon- 3 - session 1
3- 4 - lunch
4-7 - session 2
7-8 - dinner
8-11 - session 3

In case of Rain - game will be moved to bills basement

This is all up for debate

The schedule looks good to me. I'll get my points totaled up this evening and get them over to Bill/Craig.

[nogle]

we will be doing mission 1: Race to destruction.

As for food: Rosey is giving me a couple sets of Ribs and a case of beer. she is also gonna make a couple salads(potato,macaroni or such). Bill is bringing hamburgers

[chaoscraig]

35? good god that's a lot....of points

[nogle]

17,500 per side

[calypso2ts]

This sounds awesome, if you can take some pictures to post and share it would be great. Also, I hope there are some Wizard Staff duels...

[nogle]

well, Kevins gonna be there. maybe we can get him to take some pics and do an article or something

[grubnards]

Sure, i can bring my camera along.

Quick question, with apocalypse, there is no force org cap correct? If so, i can field 5360 points worth of Word Bearers and some leigon cult troops. I hope craig and bill can fill out the other 12,000 points of the list. I dont have the daemon codex but i have 10 blood letters, 10 pink horrors, and a greater daemon if we want to work them into the list as well.

Oh, if you want i can bring my crock pot and slow cook some pulled pork for dinner as well.

[chaoscraig]

sure thing we can. bring the daemons! I have 4800 of painted chaos and bill has a couple thousand plis a warhound titan and a slaanesh greater daemon.

[chaoscraig]

not to mention we are also using pre-heresy world eaters with angron and pre-heresy emporers children with fulgrim.

[nogle]

I emailed bill a printup of army builder for the world eater army, so he's got the points.
I am finishing up the blood angel list tonight, chip has the grey knights almost ready. I just need to make a concerted effort to get ahold of Evan so that I can get our side totally figured out. I texted him Monday, no response. I just hope the schedule works for him. If anyone talks to him, send him to this thread please.

The pulled pork sounds great.

Update

Evans out. Its his moms birthday, Happy Birthday Mom!
-maybegood side could use another general, no models needed (though if you have something really cool/formation let me know)

We will be holding tryouts for his Grey Knights and Guard tomorrow and will use them and maybe some eldar to fill out the 17,500.

Stategic assets will be 3 per side with one extra for each warmaster. Me(Dante) and Bill (Fulgrim?).

No Natural disasters

The Rain location will be in my house. Me and Rosey measured it out and we just have to move furniture around to use the first floor.

Rosey is trying out recipes for baby shower, think she said pasta salad, broccoli salad, german potato and something else

[chaoscraig]

I had an awesome time playing this game. I learned that to make it through the apocalypse you have to have some serious gamer stamina. Food was great! (except for what mike had put through cremation).

[grubnards]

Noglepocalypse was a lot of fun. The forces of Chaos prevailed but I'm not sure of the final score. Maybe Nogle or Bill can chime in on that.

Here are some pics I took during the over 12 hours of gaming. I'll add more either later today or tomorrow.

Forces of Chaos represented by (from left to right) Bill, Kevin (me), and Craig. Looks like Bill and Craig are devotes of Slaanesh as they could not keep their hands to themselves.

Some awesome eggplant treats from Rosie


... and what is sure not to be let down... Nogle's attempt at cooking ribs. At some point in the game he threw them on the grill and a little later on Chip said "does anyone smell something burning."

My player moment of the game was my small squad of terminators with fists and chainfists causing their hellblade to blow up in 1 round of attacks. I rolled an insane amount of 6's to cause further explosions resulting in the tank detonating.

It was a fun day/night and I want to thank everyone involved. More pics coming later.

mikes birthday apocalypse was fun thanx kevin for coming out was great to get you out for a game again it was 11hrs long we used 17,500pts per side so 35k

P.S. we took nogles birthday money and hid it in units then gave it to him as he killed them. so we made him work for his birthday presents and that was funny.
