Warhammer 40K

You all know how us crazies have to stick together.  Well those fanatics over at Apocalypse40k are trying to stage the world’s largest Apoc. event ever, and are looking to shatter some impressive records. It is certainly our kind of crazy! 

The games will be  on January 22nd, so head on over to Apocalypse40k for all the details on how to sign up.  Here are some of the records they are going to try to break:

Most Points in a Single Game
This requires all models to participate in a continuous game on one table interconnected or otherwise. All models must be painted (3 colors + based) and the game must last 4+ turns over an unbroken time period (eg-with some breaks, but no “pause and come back the next day”).

The record was set by Siegeworld in St. Louis MO. on 8/14/10 at 382,000 points

Most Points in a Single Battle – Single Location
Same as Most Points in a Single Game, but models don’t need to be painted, and one or more discontinuous tables. Anything goes so long as it is interrelated and simultaneous. No turn requirements.

The record is held by GMI Games in Riverside, CA with 520,000 points, September, 2010.

Most Points in a Single Battle – Multiple Locations
Same as Most Points in a Single Battle, but allows for multi-location play.

The record has not been set yet.

Most Tank Models in a Single Battle
Anything with an AV, MCs, and GCs count as one, so long as they’re painted. Single battlefield as per the first record and no turn limit.

GW Manchester UK holds the title with 2,562 models.

Most Minis in a Single Battle
See Most Points in a Single Battle (single location). Same restrictions apply. This record is anything goes so long as it is interrelated and simultaneous. A miniature is counted as any piece which has its own base or does not use a base. Essentially, if it can be moved on its own (thus a swarm base is a single miniature).

Siegeworld is the current holder of the record, at 6,500 minis done in St. Louis MO. on 8/14/10. 

So, what are YOU doing on January 22nd?  BoLS will be sure to have a post game rundown with all kinds of crazy pics once this one’s over.  So what’s the biggest game you were ever part of?
