Ok folks, If you want to crack some heads in the mega-battle, sound off here. As for the rules, here's what I've come up with; edits in bold.
Armies must conform to the Standard Force Organization Chart.
Multiple Detachments ARE Allowed.
The points limit is 2000 points per detachment. Feel free to bring more troops, as they may be needed to fill gaps in the forces.
NAR is in effect. TVR will not be used.
WYSIWYG WILL be enforced.
Models DON'T need to be painted, but it would be nice 8)
FoO vs. FoD, UNLESS I manage to pull together enough Ork players to match everone else :twisted: ,which most likely won't happen.
Here's what's still up in the air;
Start Time- I say 7:00PM on Saturday, but your opinions would be nice.
Breaks - Will there be any?
de4dmeta1 - Orks
2000+ points

either way I'm in, and I'm sure my friend will be in
slap Kyle down for 1,500 points of tyranids
and Jacob down for a giant sum of necrons
Also, I'd like to try to keep this thread only to people signing up for the game. Therefore, if anyone has any questions about it, just PM me. K?
This, of course, will only happen if there aren't enough players to have the aformentioned giant clusterfuck. Any thoughts?
Also I think a point limit might be a wise idea. That way some people don't bring over 5k or more which might unbalance one of the sides
edit: I'll be there. Is it cool to field 2 or more races?
I'll edit this again when i figure out how many points I have.
FoD = Forces of Disorder - Chaos Space Marines, Necrons, Orks, Dark Eldar, Tyranids, Lost & the Damned
The FoO and FoD were used in the Eye of Terror campaign to determine who fought who.
As for the points limit, unless we get enough players for a truly epic battle, let's say 2000 points as a nice baseline. It wouldn't hurt to bring more than that though, so we can balance off the sides with more troops if need be.
Yar. With 2k pts. some of us people withj smaller armies who want to play are SOL.
I never intended the points limit to keep people from playing, just to keep things relatively sane.
Ok, thats better.
Is PAX going 24/7? Cause if not I doubt we'd get down by the time it closes for the night.
It's so 24/7. IIRC, it runs for 39 hours straight, and the one-day passes are good until 7:00AM, which I'm SURE we'll be done by.
So, wouldn't that make it like 19.5/2 instead of 24/7? The event isn't going to be 24 hours for 7 days.
Now that would be something.
You know what I meant. 8)
Sounds good Tristam. As for me, I'm off to go work on my orks again, maybe finish painting some of the little bastards.
2000 points isn't too bad, although with enough players...well, I still think I'd take maybe 1000 points or a little less, just so I could play for a while but not stay for hours and hours. Besides, some of the smaller armies COULD form alliances for a turn or two, although I'm not sure how backstabbing people would be.
Once again, if I get the time off work, I'll try to make it, I should be finding out this week, hopefully in a day or two.
As for the backstabbing and time constraints, we are aiming for a team battle, so there shouldn't be too muh of a problem with those. Unless of course, we don't have enough people to have a semi-balanced team match.
Then all bets are off for time and backstabbing :twisted:
I will however still help organize it via this forum. If someone wishes, I guess I could even make up a little package to help them run the game - little notes and such.
I really hate to have to do this, but I've got to honour my previous obligations. Sorry guys, but Klan Infernoz won't be in attendance for this match.
So, what previous things you regesterd for?
Well, it's not really an organized event per se, but I was planning to go out on the town with a bunch of friends, and the best time to do so that they nailed down just so happens to mess up any chance of me playing in this. Besides, now that I seriously consider this (what with it being a scant few weeks away), and how much the music at NWC'03 kicked ass, I was leaving myself out of a lot of once-only stuff, to play a (rather large albeit) game I could get going any time.
As fun as Warhammer is, a large mob roaming Bellevue, terrorizing a Red Robin, then having a mosh all our own during the Minibosses show is something you can't re-create. I hate having to back out at the last minute like this, but there's only so many hours in the day.
