My local gaming shop (not a GW store, though there is once in the next suburb) is running a 24 hour Apocalypse game. The points limit is 5000 points, and they have 41 gamers who have already said they wold be playing in it. You can only use painted miniatures with 3 or more colours on it (so expect a lot of last minute paint job from some people).
Based on the number of painted miniatures I have at the moment, I can field a decent Chaos Space Marine army. I have a few units nearly finished, and that I can complete the list I have made up for it. See below.
Khorne Tower of Skulls - 700 pts
Chaos Warhound Titan - 750 Points (mostly painted, just the base,one leg and a weapon to go)
Brass Scorpion of Khorne - 400 Points (mostly painted, just detail work to do).
Emperor's Children Warband - 1688 Points. (Dreadnought and one squad in a rhino partly painted)
Lucius the Eternal
Dreadnought with Blast Master + CCW /Doom Siren,
Predator with 2 Twin Linked Sonic Blasters + Blast Master + Possessed + Havoc Launcher,
2 CSM units of 10 with 8 sonic blasters + a melta gun and a blast master + champ with bolt pistol + power weapon+ doom siren + melta bombs, mounted in a rhino possessed with havoc
9 noise marines 8 sonic blasters + a blast master, champ plasma pistol, and power weapon, doom siren, melta bombs, mounted in a possessed rhino with havoc launcher.
6 Chaos bikers with a melta gun and a doom siren, champ with a power weapon, doom siren and melta bombs.
Non Apoc formations include
2 daemon princes of slaanesh with wings and lash of submission - 155 points each
10 Thousand Sons (9+sorceror) warp time for champ mounted in rhino with havoc launcher - 324 points
10 Plague Marines plasma gun and melta gun, champ has power fist. - 290 points
Kharn the Betrayer- 165 points
9 Khorne berserkers champion power weapon + melta bombs mounted in rhino extra armour havoc launcher - 289 points
6 Summoned Lesser Daemons to round out the points - 78 points.
This should give me a good spread of unit choices, including 7 troop choices. The 3 super heavies will not last long, as I expect the tower of skulls and brass scorpion to move as close to the enemy as they can before their doomsday reactors get blown up. I normally would include another super heavy instead of the Khorne Tower of Skulls, but Matt the store owner wants it in the game because it looks good, and he said painted miniatures only.
It should be a good game, and I think there will be 4 or 5 other Chaos players one who plays Khorne, another I know loves Tzeentch and the other a Nurgle fanatic. I would try to them my army a bit more, or mount the Nurgle marines in a rhino, but I do not have the time to paint one, as I have some contract painting I still need to get finished for a mate of mine that I play Classic Battletech with.
