Clash of the Titans!

The game was Good Guys vs Bad Guys. Super Heavy and Gargantuan Creatures ONLY!

Team 1, First Turn: Both Hierophants concentrate fire on the Warhound Titan. It loses both Void Shields and it's three Structure Points.

...And goes Nuclear!! Exploding 6D6" (Rolled 27" Radius) at Strength D. Game Over.
Total playing time 20 minutes. I think that's a record!

How does the nuclear Str. D remove the rest of the army? Shouldn't that only do a penetrating hit?

How does the nuclear Str. D remove the rest of the army? Shouldn't that only do a penetrating hit?

Theoretically it could keep getting chain reactions. But anything with a single void shield up will stop the blast from hurting the rest of the vehicle.

[DrLove42]

The "after" picture shows 2 tanks that lost their main guns and 1 eldar super heavy completly gone...sure most of your gunline was out of range of the blast anyway!

Wierd...

How would you call that over?

[Mystery.Shadow]

Sure, there are still lots of tanks left, many had weapons destroyed or crews shaken so there would not be a very good first turn for the "Good Guys". One of the Eldar Tanks were destroyed in the first turn as was one of the Bandblade variants.

We all know that even IF they managed to take out a Gargantuan Creature or two, it would have been a repeat of Turn One; shaking, destroying, or exploding tanks. Possibly close combat. -And we all know what happens when Gargantuan Creatures touch a tank.

The Imperial Flyers never made it to the table as Team 2 surrendered before they got to touch the table!

[Bean]

If a game that ends in surrender can compete for the title of "World's Fastest Apocalypse Game," then I'm pretty sure twenty minutes will prove easy to beat (especially if that's measured from the beginning of the first turn.) I'm pretty sure I could orchestrate a game in which one side scoops within seconds. =P

Of course, then we'd probably go on to play an actual game of Apocalypse so as to not completely waste the time we'd spent setting it up...

What model represented the Reaver titans? They look cool

[Xas]

tell the mech-team they are weaklings.

if you have half a dozen baneblades and two reavers the loss of 1 puny warhound and an unlucky scorpion isnt anything to care about.

and crew shaken doesnt exist for superheavies. a 1 on damage table shakes ONE GUN and a 2 only immobilises the vehicle for one turn but doesnt effect shooting.


I dont like games where my oponents run away like lil girls :(

and crew shaken doesnt exist for superheavies. a 1 on damage table shakes ONE GUN

And if it's the main gun you get a save against it too.

[Mystery.Shadow]

And if it's the main gun you get a save against it too.

Primary Weapons get a 4+ Save even against Gun Crew Shaken. But shake enough crews and the tank becomes a big metal target!

The Reavers started life as:

And yes, the Mech Team were weaklings. To run away from the table like little girls.

Game Over.

Sounds very boring to me.

Trust me, it wasn't boring. The one player went RageQuit and that alone was worth watching!
Someone commented "The Reactor had a meltdown and went nuclear -And so did [Name of the Player] !"

Funny thing is that the Warhound's owner wasn't the one going nuts! He was too busy laughing!!

Actually if you have some experience with different type of apocalypse players this is quite usuall. If you have the love to shell out that much money AND paint such a hughe model you are grown up enough to know that it will die.

If I'd have to guess my first bet would be on the owner of the cheapo wanabe-reavers but the colour scheme appears similar to the warhound so they prolly belong together. Getting non-original models for the sake of saveing money usually is a good sighn of people who (despite of any claims they might take against it) are into the models for the power and not their beauty and so will go nuclear the moment their ilussive bubble is busted.


Anecdotally my khornate warhound so far has not died yet. It either survived battles or went nuclear and tbh shelling half the board with a 30" diameter destroyer explosion is usually more fun than anything else he can do besides maybe bodyslamming a baneblade 24" away :D

[Col.Gravis]

Can I have my couple of minutes back please? This was almost as pointless as the film Clash of the Titans, conicidence?
