WH40K: Apocalypse Wow!

Two tables, 146 square feet of playing surface, 11 players ranging in age from 9 to 69, 8 hours of play, and 33,000 points of models all came together club on Saturday for a fantastic day of Warhammer 40K Apocalypse gaming.

We had Ultramarines, Dark Angels, Imperial Guard, Witch Hunters, Daemon Hunters, Orks, Dark Eldar, Tau, Chaos Daemons in play, and the day was a wonderful blur from the 11 AM rules briefing to the 8:30 PM game end which saw the players tired but happy, ready to swap battle tales over dinner.

I won't attempt to recount the many tense, exciting, hilarious, silly moments we all enjoyed during the games; there were too many!

More importantly, I'd like to emphasize how the giant gaming project was a group effort by many club members:

James and Tony making sure club was set up and the 'fridge stoked, Alex, Sammy, and Darien for building and painting the great 40K terrain ... and painting L'il Eegor, the scratch-built Ork Stompa (props to Igor for many of the design ideas on this model). Frank for setting up the tables with thematic battlefields, Tim and Manuel for capturing the event in photos http://www.nycwargames.com/Pictures0012.html , and all the players for pitching in during the prep discussions, game day decisions, the game setup and cleanup.

End of the day (literally) the players vowed that "the Fellowship of the Wargamers" (Manuel's term) will meet again on the Apocalyptic battle fields of the 41st millennium.
