Good evening dudes and dudettes!

 

This is the announcement for the second Battle for the Capital. We have structured play a little more, capping points at 5,000 per player. We have 8 players enrolled, and will go up to as many as 12 if need be with the current setup.

 

What : Horus Heresy Apocalypse, 5,000 points, per player (if you are short on points, a couple of us have extra superheavies to loan out)
Who : 10-12 players, already have 8 on board.
When : June 11, 12
Where : Multi-Zone Gatineau
Why: Because in the grim darkness of the future, there is only resin and remortgaged houses!

If you are interested in joining the game, read on!

The Game

This will be a 2 day event, 3 turns a day. Starting early/finishing late on Saturday and hopefully comclude the next day for 5 pm.

Factions will be divided as much as possible Loyalists VS Traitor. In case of unbalance, neutral factions (Mechanicum, Auxila, Militia) will be used to balance sides first.

5 objectives will be fought over during the game. Factions score a victory point at the end of each game turn for each objective they control. Slay the warlord (for each warlord slain) and attrition are in effect.

Each player brings 6,000 points, with a cap of 25% of his points in Lords of War. This means you can bring Multiple Lords of war as long as they respect your points allowance. A single Age of Darkness organization chart is in effect.

 

Rule Amendments

We have a few amendments to make the game more enjoyable for all parties involved, and create a better gaming experience for fluffy forces. So these are to make certain units playable and to also thematically make sense with in-game mechanics and address game design flaws.

 

1. Models with the Jump Infantry special rule may declare a charge on the turn they arrive via Deep Strike, provided they do not run or shoot during the shooting phase. This charge is considered a Disorganized Charge and it cannot engage multiple units.

 

2. Legion Command Squads and Solar Auxilia Command Squads and Cultist/Militia Command Squads count gain implacable advance.

 

3. Primarchs and Vehicles are not removed from play on stomp results of 6. Instead, they suffer a S10 hit AP 1 and vehicles are hit on side armour. Furthermore, Stomps cannot hit unengaged units.

 

4. Challenges last the entire round, regardless of the initiative step on which the loser is slain. Excess wounds do not spill over to other models, but count as double for combat resolution. Attacks cannot be assigned to characters in a challenge from outside sources until the challenge ends.

 

5. Units arriving from reserves aboard an assault vehicle transport may disembark and declare a charge provided it did not move more than 6 inches that turn. This charge is considered a Disorganized Charge and it cannot engage multiple units.

 

6. ITC's rules for Daemon Summoning and Invisibility are in effect.

I definitely wont have anything near 5000 points painted, but I am going to work myself to get my wolves painted as fast as possible. Might be able to scrounge together close to enough points with the fists tacked on. Either way, id love to stop by and chat for awhile with you lads. Ill see what I can do, but no promises!

I have tons of extras, and we will have a few superheavies to loan out. Painted models are encouraged, not mandatory ;)

Maybe I can convince Depthcharge to drive with me this time so we can come up. 

 

That is, If I can properly 'encourage' him upside the head with a 2' x 4" and cram him in the trunk, we'll be there.

 

The Warlord Titan rides upfront with me.

I can arrange for couch crashing, if need be ;)
