As you can see, it's extensive. I think it has about everything in it! I'm particularly excited to try the legendary formation of giants - that's a lot of jumping up and down to smoosh into one area.

Oh, and the whole ogre army is converted to use halflings instead of gnoblars. The scrap launchers look pretty slick in particular. When all is said and done, there should be about 80-100 halflings on the board - who can battle that kind of power?!

I'll keep you posted as it develops!

That should be one hell of a battle, i wouldn't want to be the one footing the catering bill for that army!

A tip i learnt when fighting massed chaos armies in the "Holding back the tide" scenario during the SoC is to punch through one section of their army, in this type of game there's no going around the flanks. Once through into their rear, there not much they can do to stop you, especially now they completly lack skirmishers. It will also let you get at any hell cannons! To do this i'd really want some heavy cav of some sort.

p.s this might have been better in the army list section........

Sounds like it should a fun, long game.

Some suggestions.

1. Take Pictures during the game.
2. Get somebody watching to write down what happens each round.
3. Take Pictures
4. Get comments from opponents.
5. Take Lots of Pictures.
6. Give your comments guring the game
7. Take pictures.
8. Have fun
9. Take pictures.
10. Sort the pictures and write a battle report and submit to Gold and Glory.

Very awesome.

I'd be excited to see pictures of the army, even if it's not in battle.

You can tell from my previous post I've been working on webzines too much the past couple of weeks.

well at least the slayer pirates will fight to the death !!

That they do in a hail of bullets and black powder.

This should be quite epic indeed! You are required to take pictures and write up a battle report!

It would be the highlight of Gold and Glory, and it large enough maybe a special suppliment of Gold and Glory for it?

I'll definitely take plenty of photos, and I'll try and do up a decent batrep for it. The other list is going to be a combination of Warriors, demons and beasts of chaos, so we'll see how it goes. Hopefully it'll be fun either way!

Some Close-ups at eye level of the models would be nice, just be careful of the backgrounds.

Oh, and make that an even 10k - I forgot I had a unit of 3 rhinox riders. This'll be their first game!

Definately Huge Battle, hope you have the table for the entire day.

Hmmm... I wonder how 'ol Borgio feels about riding into battle beside the sister-in-law who unprovingly murdered him?

Hmm... I don't think he'll have too much of a problem with it. Presumably this is before she slipped the rufees into his spaghetti, so he's probably got her in tow to try and get a little sister/sister action after the big battle.

It's good to be the King.

looks like it will be an all out brawl

10000 points of chaos vs 10000 points of mercs... (and ogres)

i think you may need the table for more than a day there man
best of luck
may you role many a 6

I'm just hoping that all the models on both sides are painted.

All of mine are - I'm not sure about his, but I know at least a good portion are.

Maybe have a few friends help the Chaos side get finished before the game.

Tileans gone wild.

Make sure your camera is charged up, nothing like showing up to take pics only to have empty batteries.

Extra batteries and Memory Cards. Pros average 30+ shots for the one they want.

Shoot at a higher MP than Basic.

Make sure they are in focus and well lit, using a tripod for the camera would help. We can crop the images ourselves.
