[Archive] 25,000 Points Mega-battle (Pics and Vid)

richard barby:

We have some house rules to simplify some things and make the game not last forever. We have a couple of units with homebrew rules like the Skeleton Mammox, and in the movement phase units can move through friendly units to make things quicker.

We simplified the magic phase a little too but tried as best we could to stick with the official rules without taking eight months on the game

what are you doing for magic and being as its a chaos dwarf forum what list are you useing for the choas dwarfs

the game looks in the ballance from what i can see the orges will be trapped inbetween the wall and edge of the bored and may not be able to get in to combats the lizzards if there skegs go down look like there going to get over run. but on the same token the evil armys look like there running out of ellite troops and may no have many big hitting uniys lleft at the end

Galladorn:

I spy with my little eye 3rd edition plastic Orcs!! aaaah, the memories…

In a battle this size, it just doesn’t matter who wins or loses, rather than the experience of playing it. Am loving the models that span from 3rd thru 8th edition.

richard barby:

when are you updating turn 5 ? looking forward to it

Murdock129:

@richard, sorry work’s been horrible so only updating turn 5 now, though also got turn 6 done, unfortunately I got a little confused and on camera refer to it as turn 5, ignore that.

I’m planning to make another topic showing off the CDs in better detail after the battle, and I’m using the Indy GT rules for them

@Galladorn Thanks for the compliment :hat off

I’m lovin’ these reports Murdock, and I’m looking forward to seeing your army in more detail. The idea of playing in your lunch break is great, I just wish I had the same kind of opportunity.

Currently bandaged, actually had quite a bad cut on it from that lol, thanks for asking

Bassman:

Wow, such a great battle. The greatest picture is when the evil hordes storm the breach in the castle’s wall and the Good troops holds for the upcoming charge! You can even feel the poor empire soldiers’ cold sweat for the upcoming massacre :smiley:

richard barby:

it looks like your choas dwarfs are going to carry it for the evil side working out quite well bring as your posting it on a choas dwarf site :slight_smile:

grisnik:

Love it that you got in such a large game, but scary that it took so long.

Have played them in the past, but they never took longer than a day. Including set up, and take down.

This was 11k per side. One side being full High Elves, the other ( my side ) being O&G, DoC, and Undead.

Always fun, and you get to find out some interesting combos with that many units on the table also :slight_smile:
