Gday all, yep CAL001 decided a while ago to build the biggest craziest board ever, the cover it with a bucket load of scenery and then to blow away each other on it. This was where I came in, a bit of wood working knowledge and a bucket load of tools from my patternmaking days and we built 2 (yep, thats right) 2.5 meter by 2 meter boards that connect together to make the 5 x 2 meter board!
CAL then covered the boards with styrafoam sheets, covering some with flock and the others were to be used to make the city.
The next step was to put the call out to all the local dudes to get them to come along and see just how big that we could make it, GROOVER, horse and Asmodean all put their hands up and we settled on a 70K game, 10k for each of the 3 Loyalists (GROOVER, horse and Asmodean) and 20K each for the invaders (myself and CAL).
We set up at CAL's work, the Paramatta Lancers barracks, on the friday night and then began to play on the saturday. 2 Hours to meet, greet and deploy and we were away just after 11 (heres a pre-deployment pic of the board)
The Armies were laid out, the Loyalists had 7K of IG, 3K of Ultramarines, 10K of AMTL and 10K of Eldar support, while the Evil but good looking dudes had 20K of Iron Warriors, 15K of black legion, 2.5K of Vraskian tratiors and 2.5K of Death guard. We were also only allowed 1 spacecraft each while the loyalists weren't allowed any.
The Loyalists had their 5 objectives (one was a wraithgate) and we had to try to break the line, for every 5K of ours that got inside the city we would also gain 1 VP. There were also the other usual VP's for break their spirit etc.
Heres a pic of the shape of the boards when deployed and the baddies basic plan:
Ok, there is alot more to come with this, but ATM I'm out of time, soI'll post more as I can get time.
Bear with me...
