Who's coming out to sci-fi saturday!?!?!


I've had a hard start to this quarter, and my only mental relief has been thinking about playing 40k this weekend!

I will get up and be there as early as anyone is able to take me haha
(matt, steve, cj)

Games I want to play:
-Some friendly and quick 1000 pts games with my new necrons vs anything
-Apoc game where i can use the aspect assault wave.. or proxy the shadow sect of karandras


Steve bring my eldar codex! haha if you want to use any of my things, just ask. I can entertain myself haha. I will PM you all I have...

Working (actual paying work) this Saturday.

I'm still trying to figure out what future Saturdays can work and post them.

Hope you all have a blast.


With Apok we need to get the table situation figured out. The table tops are mounted to the storage areas so other than emptying them out and turning two entire tables we are limited with 4' wide boards. Thinking about just brining in a crude 6' x 8' board in two pieces. My car is small but that hasn't stopped me from tying things unto the roof before.

I'll make it up there I think.

Although I refuse to play Apocalypse

Gimme a call later in the week to make sure I'm going Ryan

I can be there this Saturday as early as 10, the usual.

I can give you ride if you need one Ryan. And if you let me use your eldar, then you will have full range of my necron models, so you can play more than a 1000 if you want.

Yeah, I agree with Matt. I think Apocalypse can be fun for the kinds of themed battles BoLS does, or with a few players with well taylored forces.

But the dozen people plopping everything down on the table just doesn't seem to work well for me. Plus we really need a 6' by 10' table such that things on either end of the table might actually see each other during the battle.

I think it might also help to have more massive point sinks like titans too, cause just moving all the infantry around takes so long. Personally I like a high action/hour ratio. And I find that Apoc games just take too long. I'd way rather play 5 normal point games.

Hell, me and Steve burned thru a 1750pt game in 2 hours today

Report?

that sounds like much more fun to me.. as unplanned apoc has not worked out incredibly well for us haha


if we do it we must plan it..


so lets all just meet up... bring 1500, 1750, and 1000 pt lists that are PRE MADE. we will then just circlejerk as manny battles as everyone can stay for.

woot!

We use 1750 because that is the standard US tournament point value. Why do you like 2000 more?

Different armies perform differently as the point value scales. Try playing Necrons below 1000 pts. They are terrible. At 500 pts they have to take 2 10 man warrior squads and a lord. That's all they can do.

Some armies play better the more points you go up, other start to fizzle out. My army is actually capped at 2250. I feel like 1500-1750 is a good region where most armies are equally balanced.

Yeah in 40k 1750 is pretty good. Bob, how often do you play 40k anyway?

40k at 1750 is solid, competitive, fast and fun imo. 2k is a good time too.

but 10k a side... give me a break.

I might try to make it out this saturday.... not sure yet if I will be able to or not yet, but I'll try to bring my IG. Not sure on my point total yet, I'll have to do some figuring.

Trust me.. the drop from 1850 to 1750 is quite brutal.

You really need to know your army..
