The Plan

Filed Under Apocalypse WOW |

Apocalypse Logo Well its kind of a plan…..

There was a Space Marines codex - the one before the current edition if memory serves me correctly - that had a picture of a complete chapter together with a couple of Thunderhawks to ferry the band of brothers around. Talk about inspirational, I can remember looking at it and thinking ‘that it is fantastic but what kind of a nutter would ever want to have that many models in a game’.

Time has moved on and it turns out that I am that kind of a nutter (I secretly always knew it but was in denial) and the 40K Apocalypse is my great enabler. Not only would you be able to field an entire chapter but actually play a game with them - oh joy unbounded!!!!

Now there are two problems to this

  1. It’s a lot of models, just the scouts, marines and terminators kicks in at 1,000 models at full strength and that is without any Rhino’s or Dreadnaughts or…..
  2. where can you play such a game - this needs a large table area

There is a solution

  1. Ultramarines - these guys are the archetypal marines and most of us have at least a few of them, some of us have more than just a few, Dave, Simon, Craig for example. This means that should we plan it then we could get together the basis of the force and then look to fill in the gaps - I will be making a list and trawling around to see who is able and willing to help in this great adventure
  2. The new store - when we finally get in there - this is the place where we will have the room and the table space to display the force and then play a game. I envisage the mother of all participation games where we have a scenario of the marines defending a monastry and its come and have a go if you think you’re hard enough…

    3. Just to get the ball rolling I have acquired a Space Marine Company boxed set from the Apocalypse release and am happily gluing, undercoating and painting up the third compay.

    If you want to follow the madness as it unfolds then keep coming back as I will be posting more on here as it happens.
