10 Dire Avengers, Exarch, Double Shuriken Catapult, Bladestorm, Defend
Wave Serpent, Shuriken Cannons, Shuriken Cannon, Spirit Stones

3 Jetbikes

It should've been able to get up to some mischief

you need lots of thunder hammers for greater demons lol

Well next time a big game like this is up on a Saturday let me know, my imperials will take care of the titans no problem's ;~)

Looked like a good fun game tho, only caught the end and didn't see the titans do anything unfortunately but was surprisingly close considering the amount of damage the titans did, but then again if you don't take troops you cant capture the objectives I spose

The thing is: if you had deployed your Terminators in and among the mass of armor on the right then the Daemons would have had a very hard time, possibly even failing to stem the armored rush. I'm not so sure Deep Striking them was the best move to be honest.

With 3000 points to play with I could take the Big Evil Squarish Thing Of Doom !!!

Thats alot of nasty eldar tanks Pershore but can they deal with titans?

It looks like after the roaring success of this game we have plenty of players for the next. We might have to up it to 5 players a side with 3k points each that would be a 30,000 point game!
I think we would be ok on the same size table as there was plenty of room and by the sound of it people will be taking more big heavy stuff meaning there will be less units meaning more space and importantly less dice rolling.
What do people think, could we handle 30k points? I think the bigger the better within reason

yea i say go for it

The Cloudstrike half of the force is the anti-armour half. On turn 1 they become fliers allowing them to redeploy to anywhere on the board and supercharge their pulse lasers. On turn 2 the Falcons put out 6 S8 Lance shots and the transported units put out 10 guided S8 Melta Tankhunter shots and 2 S9 shots. That's all followed by 16 S9 melee attacks.

I don't know if that can kill titans reliably, but I do know that if it can't then there is nothing in the Eldar codex that can!

I could probably get up to 3000 points

strenth 9 !!! that seems xtreme and how ?
are any of those troop choices ?

im concerned about the amount of players in one game , i think if we
have to many a side we are in danger of havin to much down time or
someone could get eliminated way before the game ends .
i think if we want to add more players maybe we should consider runing
2 games and they maybe have an effect on each others games or like
they did in the white dwarf a while back having a seperate games of
wich one game is the "generals table " fighting for a big gun that can
fire on the other tables or somethong like that
what you guys think

Eldar Witchblades and Singing Spears always wound on a 2+ and count as S9 against anything with an armour value. The melee output I mentioned is Eldrad and the Warlocks in the list I posted. I forgot to mention yesterday that if necessary I can add 10 meltabomb attacks in the melee phase

I had an idea a while back about a multi-table game where there would be a webway portal in the middle of each board and people would be able to move units to other boards through the portals. That could be combined quite nicely with the big gun idea?

How about this - if there is 10 players then we could play 5-a-side over 6 regular-sized tables. The first 5 tables have 1 player from each team and also has a portal in the middle. All the portals lead to portals on the 6th table which also has the big gun. Sound interesting? Might favour highly mobile armies too much? Hi, I play eldar by the way!

the idea is nice but will become very very complicated you would have to time turns as one table may be a turn ahead or behind of the other tables, also I don't fancy running backwards and forwards between different tables every time I have to roll an armour save

sounds like a good idea, one idea i had with some mates who i play apoc with is to have one big game then have another board whihc counts as the underground of the current battle (need spacehulk boards) and theres are various entrances some of which are usuable some whihc are not, and everytime a big wepaon hits the fields it has an effect on the underground game ie they take str 2/3 hits from faling debris

Or you enforce time limits on the turns, 30000 points per side is doable if you say no more than 10 minuted per phase (movement, shooting, combat) if something doesn't get resolved in that time then the opportunity is missed.

sounds like a plan, what about deep strike though? as its not techniquically in a phase?

i cant imagine you running anywhere and lets face it you wont be around long enough to make so many armour saves
i like the idea of the multiple tables with the warp ways that sounds cool ( i must
admit it doesnt sound like an appoclypse game but still sounds fun ).
i can just imagine the remanants of armys after hard fought battles moving on to the
final battle ground for one last push to capture the objective
i think i might do this one
