Surely you would not have to say Chaos Marines & Chaos Daemons?  Chaos should cover both...... Should but there are some not all there people. Who has Apoc rules??? |

I just regard them as two different entities these days as that is what GW has done with them.
I have the Apocalypse Rules (and reloaded) so could probably scan the chart and post it....
Why would people not have them!
They are awesome and allow for some really big and different battles. We have had some really great games here at the Dice and Deck over 24 feet of table and near 35000pts (6 players each side) a side. Took pretty much all of the day but is greatly remembered as one of the best games we have ever had. There is nothing that even comes close to taking down a titan to have it blow up 1500pts of your own army!

Well ive got the hall booked for January 17. Which seems a bit far off i know, but november was too short notice and december tends to be flat out for everyone (me included since ill be flat out doin security hopefully).
Ive gotta do up a poster and a revamp of the club flyer. And a post on here with the details. Just being hampered by a lack of being able to transfer files from my PC to the internet one for the first 2, and just working out final details for the last bit. Ill try and get something up this week though.
January 17 is a saturday btw.

Yeah. Probably wont be part of the tournement, but might be able to hire the hall where we currently are as a meeting for the whole day n get a big ass apocolypse gaming going. In fact ill keep it in mind for something random to do, maybe in december when people finally have armies goin.

Indeed 750pts a bit small but i might try to go to something in Renmark sometime.

It is a bit small but I guess it allows some of the guys that are newer to the hobby get into the tournament spirit even though they may have only small armies.
I would be in favour of 900pts per player as this takes the game size up to 1800pts per side and thats probably the optimal points size.
But I guess it all depends on how many games are being played over the day. 1500pt games with a 2 hour limit should be able to fit 4 games in perhaps....

Yeah exactly. Thats about what we're aiming for. The first point is the reason for the 750pts, its accessible to everyone and by having teams the games themselves are still a decent size.

Hahaha yeah it would. And is maybe something to think about for another time, but i want the teams to work as such and compliment each other. Id love for it not to be "i put my army here, you put yours next to mine and ignore each other" which is what i fear will probably happen anyway.

Are you planning to have people meet the standard force organization charts or an adapted one?

Thats a good point.
750 points in which to field a minimum 1 HQ and 2 Troops does not allow a lot of room to move.
Could the teams potentially be a minimum of 1 HQ between them and 2 Troops each?
This will have problems in itself though....

Exactly my problem with that. Keeping with the standard force organisation chart though you still have room to move with 750 points. by the time say a space marine takes a tac squad and a scout squad and a captain, you then have enough left over for something else, ie. a assault squad or dreadnought. plus transports etc. then the other guy can take stuff to compliment what you've taken. it will be more involved on what you're units are equipped with aswell.
