Hmm, if I am not mistaken, those stalkers look like the ones I painted up years back. Kind of neat to see them still being used!

The lack of Necron destroyers shocks me

Love that 60fps opening! So clear & so smooth :D Great batrep guys!

How about a big 2v2? Dave and Luka vs Matt and Steve? 2-3k points a player might not take *TOO* long.

Tyranids and necrons! My favourite.

48:30 Tesla spheres are two shots EACH, it has 4. (8 dice)

Honestly I like apocalypse waaaaay better with the normal 40k rules. The scale just seems to match up better with the sheer amount of dice being rolled. But that's just my opinion.

The only thing I can see being a problem with this ruleset is all of the blast markers. Easy to get lost in a large army. Especially if you end up with good rolls and lots of damage.

You know I was just thinking. Man I have never seen a necrons apocolypse bat rep and here we are!

Maybe you guys could house rule that each of you gets a small piece of terrain to place after you've deployed? If you're worried about large open spaces that is.

Look up the serapatek heavy construct

So, mawlocs can’t charge the turn they arrive in 40k, but they can move into combat in apocalypse? I don’t have the rules someone please explain.

@Meinfuss1

4 жыл бұрын

In the regular 40k Nid codex, the Terror from the Deep ability specifically states that the mawloc cannot charge in the same turn that it uses the ability... But the new Apocalypse version of that ability does not say it can't charge in the same turn. So what Matt did would be legal in this game. Considering how useless mawlocs are in regular 40k, I wish that rule was the same in the codex.

Didn’t think a super heavy aux detachment did lose the faction trait? Thought it was just if you took individual detachments of any other slot (heavy support etc)

This seams horribly unfair, the tyranid army has so many command cards and models, it may just be the army lists, but that was extremely unbalanced.

Tyranids are waaaaaay op in the new apocalypse

Anyone else find these new style apocalypse games boring? Seeing all these models and big units doing basically nothing rolling only a few dice is so anticlimactic, in my opinion. Ill be sticking to real apocalypse for now, maybe adding damage to end of round to balance things out tho.

Personally, so your milage may vary, I like it a lot for a couple of reasons: - alternate activations means that you are nearly never doing nothing while the enemy is moving and rolling everything. Also means a deal of strategy in the movement priorities, maybe I need to move this detachment first so that you can’t come close enough to charge or shoot. Bear in mind the way I play is by revealing one detachment action at the time so I don’t know what he’s gonna do with the others until he reveals them. - damage at the end phase means that you never have the kill confirmation before you finish the shooting/fighting. Yes that unit of space marines has 3 bi blast markers but maybe He will roll 2 6 and keep them alive, if they are a threat to me I need to forgo killing another unit to assure the kill on that one. - easy, the game is really thought to be easy, quick and engaging. It is way more abstract in it’s rules, more like historical wargames, so it can be less engaging. But at the same time brings a fight between divisions with the same speed of a fight between companies (the size of 40k usually). This helps a lot to renact fights. For instance you could do like me and use cardboard for proxy since I don’t have enough plastic yet to do it for real but make the entire first company of ultramarines fight the nids and be done in a couple of hours. I suggest you find a way to try the rules (the price tag is quite high in my mind, I bought it with 25% discount so less of an ordeal) and try them. But do not try competitive stuff, try balls to the walls scenarios.

More dice doesn't equal more climatic or fun. It just means a larger degree of probability to calculate. Apocalypse now (or Epic as it really is) is awesome for simulating a lot of action using very simple numbers. It doesn't do medium size things like Carnifexen or Trygons or Leman Russes well in some cases, but it does do big blobs and big titanic things well. There's a lot that actually goes into it, but I suspect that the reason why you look at it and go "small number of dice=bad and unfun" is that GW have conditioned it's fan since 5th ed to want to roll huge numbers of dice. I will also say that how resilient both armies were here is very unusual. Stuff normally dies much faster. But they had bad dice for wounding but exceptional dice for saving.

New Apocalypse may be easier to play, but it is also way less fun to watch. Because you don't have that heroic last guy of a battalion that lands a lucky shot and takes away the last wound of a titanic. Instead you have 12 units shooting at another unit and then, half an hour later, someone dies. Now, this *doesn't* mean that I don't wanna see more, just that I liked the old Apocalypse system more. At least from a viewing standpoint.
