In an effort to gauge the size and interest level in the Megabattle scheduled for Saturday, January 11th at the Abington location, I'd like to get a sound off from people who are planning to attend. For anyone who doesn't know what the Megabattle is, it's a 4000 point per person, Order vs. Disorder, Apocalypse themed 40k event. This will be Battleground's sixth time running it.
For the Megabattle to be worth running, we'll need at least 20 people to commit (approximately 10 per side).
Specific rules for the event will be forthcoming, assuming the interest level is there. Respond in this thread if you are very likely to attend.
-
Is 4000 points the minimum or Maximum point requirement?
-

It's pretty loose, but assume it's a maximum. Some interested players may not have the full 4000 points of painted models, but others have lots more and can help fill the deficit.
-
Just to clarify: I incorrectly put the date as the 10th in the original post. I have changed it to the ACTUAL date of Saturday, January 11th.
Thanks!
-
I'd love to go but I can't. That's the second to last day of my honeymoon. Sorry D, next year.
-
I actually specifically scheduled my vacation around this date. I will be there. Unless it gets canceled. :'(
-
I am planning on coming.
Question: I know that we do Order-Disorder, but especially since the new power codexes (tau, eldar, and SM [not really on the same level as taudar, but still up there) and the formations (espeically that stupid stupid tau one) are on the order side, and that the Apoc game is already weighted heavily into the Imperials favor, would it not make sense/be better balanced if it were Imperial versus Everyone else...kind of like what most of the fluff is?

I always thought that would make more sense anyway. It evens out the number of codexes on each side.
Also, are Eldar really any more orderly than Necrons? They look less scary I guess...
-
I can promise that conventional logic and normal "balance" issues don't really apply to the Megabattle.
I would expect some sort of rules outline to show up soon. A couple people from the Abington community are handling all of that this year. If I remember correctly, there was some talk about what books might be on what side when they were first rolling ideas around at PAX earlier this year.
Stay tuned.
-
Since Lord D. Has practically begged me to be there I shall be there.
-
I will be there and so will be my friend whos new and plays greyknights.

Also will add that my friend im bringing as GK is also bringing a friend who plays nids
-
My guard will be there. Not sure exactly what I'll bring until we have specifics. I do have the giant wall of martyrs fortress datasheet waiting to be painted.
-
A couple guys from PV *might* play.
-
Sorry guys, but I will have to take a backseat to this one. Was hoping it would have happened earlier this past summer, but alas... Give 'em Hell, guys! :)
-
I think I'm going to have to bow out of it this year :(

-
That was your Imperial Air Core crashing around you.
-
and 1 of your raiders, plus 1 or 2 of your bikes that oddly enough crashed into my bikes
-

-
Is this still a thing? (Is it still happening?)
-
Yes
-
Major details will be posted Monday, December 23rd.
-
I should be there. Hopefully I can get this Shock Attack gun battery finished. Also does anyone have any spare warbosses they could loan me. I wanted to also do a Green tide and bully boyz formation but I'm short a boss or two.
-
I want to bang my head on my desk. I just read the rules for a company and they added a dreadnaught on me.
-
Steve,
I will be there with my Guard. I have two Dreadnoughts of Ultramar. Borrow one.
-
thats assuming I do field a company of Marines, i was considering lots of Planes
-
Details are up!

Come in to the store and sign up as soon as possible!
-
I'll be making a return!
I have space marines and orks. I'll fill whichever side needs more players.
-
I've never played an Apoc game. I have a lot of points, but it's mostly infantry type. Will that suck at 4000 points? (Take too long to move stuff around and shoot?)
-
That depends on what army your playing: 4000 points of Grey Knights can be as little as say 20 models. 4000 points of Imperial Guard? That's what 300 or so models?
-
I routinely field 350ish guard infantry. Takes several people working together to set up. I try to take a defensive position so I don't have to move them much.

In these numbers the flashlights are almost tanning bed level of effective.
