zcaust83 Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 Hello everyone, this is the introductory post to gather interest and factions to be represented. we have a place and scenario set, we need to see who is going to make it now. The game this year will be held at Fate and Fury Games in Vancouver. The preferred gathering time is 930am so that we can get started ASAP. I personally have the entire day and night to play that day and so we can keep it going until midnight when the shop closes. Please post any questions here also and I will be back online later tonight. -chris 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zcaust83 Posted November 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 Black Friday Apoc game update: @Romans832 @deadwing34 @Ish @happycamper @Torg @Arizenkin @peter.cosgrove @IamTheHuman @Nathanvoodoo @DisruptiveConduct @pretre Hey I tagged you all because you either reacted to this post or I think you would be interested in this. If you are not interested in a black friday apoc game, thats cool too. but do me a favor and ask around or point the way to anyone who asks you lol up to 10 people max with the space available 2500 points per player, each "team" will be able to decide how many points of whichever faction can have going forward from this post. no limitations on power level or unit choices beyond the rule of 3 titans, knights and super heavy units will all be allowed Only 1 unique character per faction as is standard with the BRB (so no x3 bobby G's, only 1 person can field him) the overall mission will be determined after some more consideration on our part and when we know a rough idea of who is coming and what factions will be presented. that will be the next round of updates, based on the replies and RSVP's we get on this thread. FOOD: I am prepared to make a huge pot of chilli so noone has to leave and worry about finding food. I'm a pretty good cook and my house is clean. i can prepare it here and bring it in my slow cooker should be perfect by 6 or 7pm. OR, since it's the day after thanksgiving, maybe we could do a pot luck with our leftovers OR we can all pitch in 12 bucks for pizzas, prize support (raffle prizes from the store) and a few sodas OR you can easily find food across the street from the shopping center we are located in. let me know your thoughts and interest ASAP please 🙂 Thanks. -chris 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torg Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 I’m in (of course). It will be a narrative game - with defined victory conditions and end. After we have a number of players and factions lined up we can solidify the narrative. Also, we’ve built in some balance to the narrative to allow for equality between sides - especially considering there will be large titans in the game. -d 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 I have to be at work that afternoon, but may drop by beforehand to watch a little of the carnage. I wish you all as many sixes as you need to roll. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zcaust83 Posted November 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 OK so the imperium side is locked down at 5 definite players. Grey Knights- @zcaust83 Ultra Marines- Paul Salamanders- @happycamper Custom chapter- Josh custodes/knights- @Nathanvoodoo Terrain is being worked on this week and a scenario should be published next week. @DisruptiveConduct do you think I can get a couple scenic pieces from the clubhouse? I can rent them or whatever. I'll take full responsibility for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zcaust83 Posted November 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 There are 4 other definite players so we need 1 more for the chaos/orks side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torg Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 Right now the Eldar (me) will be awaiting the final details on the chaos side. - maybe I’m dark eldar in disguise? Lol how many titans will there be to balance out things? Wondering if I need to bring a revenant as well as the sleeping phantom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 @Torg there’s a reason “perfidious” is such a common adjective for describing the Eldar. Maybe your Farseer has determined that helping the Orks slaughter a few million humans today will save the lives of a few dozen Eldar in a century or two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torg Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 More than likely it’s the best option, I agree to get the Mon-keigh things thinned out 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torg Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 That is true - but I think in this battle the Eldar are just trying to get out of the way for a human bloodbath lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for the ones that aren’t... Fallen Eldar are extremely rare in M42, but between the War in Heaven (c. M59 BCE) and the Fall of the Eldar (c. M29–M30) they existed in sizable (if still rare) numbers as cultists, renegades, and other social malcontents. Chaos daemons don’t only whisper into the ears of human psykers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torg Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 The idea being floated currently, is that the Eldar are kinda caught in the middle... With the seers feeling getting the orks involved will help - as well as not directly fighting the chaos forces... while they slink away in the shadows. Allowing chaos to win this battle helps set up a better future for the Eldar - as well as building to the eventual demise of the chaos factions involved. It is a tangled web of fates - but it leads to the optimal outcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaos daemons don’t only whisper into the ears of human psykers. My understanding is that issue is that eldar have an issue with maintaining daemonic corruption. Their souls just get sucked out too fast for the Eldar to properly fall. So you get actual daemons, rather than Eldar with Daemonic gifts. I do kinda wish their alter the fluff abit and make it so humans weren't the only chaos "enhanced" faction. Chaos beastmen, eldar, orks, and I'd really like to see some Eldar or Necrons that got draw to the dark powers. Dark Mechanicus would be nice too. Maybe not Chaos TAU, but I can see TAU having a "suit" or drone that got possessed. In general, I'd like to see more 40k crossover special characters, like Cypher, rather than each faction having only their faction specific special characters. Would also help sell models...and I really like the idea of being able to buy a character or unit usable in other armies, and fluffy to do so. Imperium has thier Inquisition for this, I'd love some non-imperium crossover characters. On the other hand, I'd like to see the Hereticus Astartes (CSM) pushed back into a single codex (a fat one, like SM got). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note the dates Ish referenced. That's before the creation of Slaanesh. The other three don't have anything near to Slaanesh's affinity for Aeldari souls, and before her/his creation, Aeldari could turn to them as easily as any other species. With Slaanesh around, things are a bit different. It's entirely possible that Aeldari turning to any of the Chaos Powers would leave themselves too open to Slaanesh, but it's also possible that their chosen Power could shield them from that. That might actually be a pretty interesting area to explore, Aeldari seeking refuge from Slaanesh with the other Chaos Powers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 (edited) The Eldar were pretty much the uncontested masters of the Milky Way for a loooooong time. The War in Heaven ended in M59 BCE (roughly 60,000 BC). Afterwards, only the Space Orks and the Eldar were left standing... The Orks did what they’ve pretty much always done and rampaged around like interstellar football hooligans on jihad. But the Space Elves actually built a star-spanning civilization. It would last for about 90,000 years. Slaaneesh was created during the Fall of the Eldar (M29-M30), roughly concurrent with the Unification Wars on Terra and Mars, when the Emperor “revealed himself” and took over the solar system. The resultant creation of the Eye of Terror was an outlet for the pent-up Warp energy that had impeded human Warp travel for so long, leading to the thousands of “lost human colonies” of humanity. With Warp travel becoming possible again, the Emperor could begin the Great Crusade. Without the Eldar Empire to contend with, the new Imperium of Man could grow virtually uncontested. Anyway, during the ninety millennia that the Space Elves were thriving across the entire Milky Way, I think it’d be absolute folly to say that none of them were ever corrupted by Khorne, Nurgle, Tzeentch, or one of the minor Chaos Gods. Likewise, surely a few must have gone heretical during the last eleven millennia, right? So go ahead, convert some Wych Elves and Storm Guardians to run as “counts as” Cultists; Turn that old Avatar of Khaine model into a Daemon Prince; Mix a few Farseer bitz with your Aspiring Sorcerer bitz and make a Tzeentch-Seer... It’ll look cool. Edited November 17, 2018 by Ish I kan spell guud. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathanvoodoo Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 I just wrote my list. I’m bringing 18 models. 2500 points doesn’t seem to be enough. 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
