Planetstrike Mega-Battle

Planetstrike sign-ups for the Mega Battle on July 25th.
Space is limited to 40 players

••• THIS IS NOT AN APOCALYPSE BATTLE •••
(But there might be special rules in effect to allow a few Super Heavies.)


See Mike @ Comix Zone for details & to signup.

yay we get to run in bunkers and die. Ha Ha awsome cant wait

count me in, how many points per player?

well the points depenon on who is the attacker and defender. Also i believe that the force organization chart is different than the warhammer 40k standard rules. But do not quote me on that if someone wants to correct me.

Ok ladies, heretics and what have you, I would like to announce that the sign-up sheets for the Megabattle are now up in the store. Make sure you guys sign up!!! The goal that I have set with Games Workshop is 40 people. This should be quite easy to reach considering that on a regular Thursday night we come very close to this, sometimes even exceeding it. My personal goal for this and the store is to exceed the 40 person goal. Pictures will be sent to Games Worshop also. I will post the points limit and who will be the attacker/defender in the upcoming days. As always. I thank you for your patronage, with out you guys we would not be able to put on events like this. I hope to see everyone at the Megabattle (those that survive the Planetary Bombardment that I have just authorized anyway). Good luck!

For those who wish to start thinking about their amies for the Planetstrike battle here is something to get you started:

So far we are looking at MAX of 2000 points per person.

Disorder will be DEFENDING

The force organization charts are as follows:

Attacker (Order)
HQ: 1 - 3
Troops: 0 - 6
Elites: 0 -6
Fast Attack: 0 - 6
Heavy Support: 0 - 3

Defender (Disorder)
HQ: 1 - 3
Troops: 2 - 8
Elites: 0 - 3
Fast Attacks: 0 - 3
Heavy Support: 0 - 6

Super Heavy Vehicles & Gargantuan Creatures WILL be allowed, BUT are not chosen from the armies point total.

Each side (Side NOT Person!) May take Super Heavies @ the cost of 4 Stratagem Points.
(5 Stratagem points for More than 4 Structure points or 10 Wounds)

Planetstrike Stratagems range in cost from 1 - 4 points each, i.e...
Unstoppable Waaagh! - 1 stratagem point
Void Shield - 2 stratagem points
Planetquake Bomb - 3 stratagem points
Meteor Strike - 4 stratagem points

Each PLAYER adds 1 stratagem point to their side.
Each objective on the table adds 1 stratagem point to BOTH sides.
So for every Super Heavy, your side will quickly reduce your available Stratagems

I appoligise because i will nto be there for me and some of my crew are gonna go to games day and will probably be doing planeet strike there.

Depending on circumstance I MAY be at games day, most likely though I will probably choose to hit up the Comix zone planetstrike simply because everything at Games Day will be available in time anyways and the only reason I wanted to go was to get the ingame warhammer online item codes which to be honest would only entertain me for all of........5 minutes. Besides play with my buds at our hang out oooooooor go to games day walk around in circles going ooooo and aaaaah and meet authors I have already met...........hmmmm the former sounds best to me. Just saying.

can't wait. this is going to be on my birth day woot!

Alright so first main gun battery is built and painted and the bastion is all but completely primed. I will be airbrushing the landing pad on and hopefully doing it over the course of tuesday so long as MITTON brings his airbrush 8D The bastion I should begin and complete this week as well. The sooner i get all that done the sooner I can start and finish my battle force to finish of the base of my imp guard army (I just need to find instruction on how to assemble the armoured sentinnel cus my box came with none........crud......oh well i am sure I can figure it out. Either way ALL of the terrain for the planet strike on my check list should actually hopefully be handled and done by the end of this coming week so yay for us. And my guys should be set to go as well for the battle (Unless I go to Games Day to take pics for the club then I wont be there but alteast you guys will have ur terrain and I will have my battleforce done.)

Also Remember guys it ALL has to be BUILT AND PAINTED b4 the event or it WILL NOT be used. A suggestion for armies as well would be to start painting like mad so the pics for GW look great and BASE your army if you can I will be basing as much as possible after I am done painitng my last battleforce groups.

everboards- i have a copy of the sentinal instructions that came with my battle force your more then welcome to use it.

hey, mine is the day before yours lol, this will be like a birthday gift for me cuz ive got addicted to this game.

lol really? yea same here.

It seems that there are several birthdays around the 25th. Perhaps we could make it a party of sorts. Just a random idea.

Sounds like a good idea Chuck and yah Flagg i would appreciate that since although I'm sure I could figure it out I do want to put it together with the armoured chasis and not the roll bars so instructions on how the legs fit etc would be great are you going to be there tuesday? I plan to hall *ass* all week and try to complete the enitre battleforce in a week painted and all so I can spend the rest of the time till planetstrike basing my full army..(glue rock paint repeat........son of a....)

Chuck-yea sounds good. can't wait

everboards- np i can only go thursdays for now. so if you dont mind waiting a few days for your sentinal i can bring it. (yea some of the parts on it are tricky with out the instructions)

but since i built a bastion last week the remanding weeks i will be bringing my catachan army to try and paint as much as i can before the battle.

Sure thing bud no worries, as well i am helping show Nick how to paint his traitor guard which he is using catachan as a base. If you want any hel painting let me know and I will be glad to show you.

I have the entire battleforce which I plan to built and paint this week. If I can manage that then most likely I will be buying building and painting 2 chimeras and maybe a basilisk depending on money and time constraints for planet strike. I'm all in to help you out bud.

Also to update on progress this tuesday I should be working on the landing pad since beard has primed it for me as well as throwing the initial base coat onto the bastion with Grimsaxe's airgun. This should mean that I will have both the landing pad and bastion painted and detailed by this friday as well as hopefully my entire battleforce built and painted and added to my guard (which aside from a few transports and some artillery should complete that army and allow for me to start building/painting my 2k pts of marines provded I find more midnight blue =_=......)

Anyways I'm up to help anyone who needs any painting advice etc.

One this I do NOT talk much or interact when I am working on something so if I don't respond when you try to get my attention just tap me on the shoulder because chances are i am sucked into whatever I am doing and didn't notice.

k thanks. i've been magnitizeing alot of the differnt weapon options on my guard so if nick wants to try that out i could show him how i did it (i could bring some small magnits too)

yea i might buy one more tank before the event but im not sure.

cool stuff, I always just used sticky putty. I hammered out those last few S troopers last night and am going to pick up more spray today (these building sprues sucked up my new bottle of it 0.o!!!) Anyways only 2 lt's to finish painting b4 i spray up the battleforce and conveyor belt the living feth out of it this week.

Do we have to have things just primed or actually painted by the 25 cause I got a lot of dudes

For the Iron Army Build/Paint Stamp you only need 1 unit (No less than 5 models or 3 bikes/calvary or 1 tank/dread) completely painted & PROOF that you worked on it during the time frame (Which started Thurs the 2nd).
As for proof, I don't care if you work on it during the sessions @ CZ. As long as I see STAGES & not just a finished product.

1. You can bring it in to show me if your not working @ CZ.
   
2. take W.I.P.(work in progress) pictures
   
3. send me a link to a podcast

Same goes for the Iron Scenery Build/Paint Stamp
Build and/or paint one full Building/Bastion/Landing Pad or 6 Full sized Barricades & 1 Support Gun (Thats 1 Full Box for those working on the Aegis Defense lines)
If you choose to paint the defenses we made before that means you need to scratch build either some kind of Quad gun or Las Cannon Platform to go with them.

We are using a Stone color style for the Scenery but I also want to see some detail work too.
Give them the same attention you would to your Rank & File models (or close to it)

Also make sure You write your names down if your working on these stamps & don't assume I'll remember because you mentioned it in passing. (I have way too much to keep track of to guarantee I'll remember a passing conversation)

do i get a stamp for building the bastion?

Colonel Flagg wrote:do i get a stamp for building the bastion?

You have credit for the Build but a stamp requires painting as well.
Although you need not paint the same thing you built to achieve the stamp.

If you wish to continue on the bastion, it is primed & ready to paint.
Over the weekend I made sure to get as much of the unpainted terrain primed as I was able.

BTW, anyone willing to build defense weapons? I would, (right up my alley) but my hands are full building a Fortress for one of the tables.

woo count me in!

it's best we forget this post existed lol
