Want to take part in a legendary game of Warhammer 40k? We will be having an Apocalypse game on the 29th of August. Never played in an apocalypse game? Not a problem! Most of us only have one game in ourselves but loved it.
If you do not own a copy of the Apocalypse book ask someone in the group. You might be able to borrow one or ask any of us questions to get your force ready.
You will be able to take part in the game one of two ways; bring an army list of either 1,000 or 1,500 points. You must preregister for the game so we can make sure we have enough slots for the two teams.
The basic rules are listed below pertaining to your army list.
1. Random teams to be drawn before the game starts
2. No Force Organization Charts
3. Games workshop or Forgeworld Apocalypse unit sheets only (sorry no VDR rules)
4. What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG)
5. Models used must be primed in order to play
6. Strategic Assets will be drawn at random before the game starts, each team will have 3
7. Due to the size of the game we will have time based turns to last no longer than 30 minutes total for all 3 phases of the turn. For example you will have to move, shoot, and assault in 30 minutes as a team.
Each player will be given a card with two secret objectives before the game that they cannot share with anyone that must be completed by the end of the game. One objective will be infantry based and the other will be tank based. You must only complete one. When you complete a personal objective you must declare it when it has occurred. If you do not, it will not count and must be completed again.
The game will start at 10:45am with each side time bidding and will go until a win by one side or 3:00pm at which point a draw will be declared. You will need to pre-register for this game and I will need two people to assist in setting up for the day to be there at 10:00am.
For those of you who are registered for the campaign, you will be awarded an additional random system for a 1,000 point list and two systems for 1,500 point list just for playing that day. The winning team will receive an additional system for the game for their determination in slaughtering the foe.
You must bring three copies of your list typed to play, one will be yours to use during the game. Another will be needed for your “team use” and the third will be needed for post game verification (in case there is a question).
