So a few weeks ago we had this apocalypse match and now is the time to put it up. We used all sorts of terrain and basically it was Paul and myself vs two of Paul's friends. I brought along 1600 pts of guard (i.e. my most recent army minus the vendetta/valk and the chimeras) and some space marines (1 used about 400 points of which for this battle) and then Paul had his 2000pt Blood Angels army
Paul and I had a plan - we wanted to go second in order to be able to blast stuff as it moved out into the open and also to have last turn objective grabbing and also to be able to mirror their deployment as we (or at least I) had not played against them before. Unfortunately because the table wasnt't quite 4' wide, our deployment plans were not so successful due to lack of space but we basically put our main fire on our right flank and some distracting mobile elements on the left.
