First game is Apoc

[Helonion]

My current army fig is below, not sure on the Flyrant yet, talking to Aux but I can't decide on a CC, Ranged or mixed. I will get the Flyrant done next week and I will have from 11am-8:45pm to get my Brood ready when it comes in on the 18th because the Apoc game is the 18th from 9pm-when everyone leaves.

So tips on first game and first Apoc game?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Ok, regarding apoc... I have no idea of the rules, gah...

I suppose it depends on points level, and whether there's going to be anything dominating there, like a titan or something similar. Try and take advantage of that flank march ability, as that's supposed to be good, but apocalypse is never really fair. It's all about blasting the (please do not swear) outta everything and hoping things work out ok.

You dont really want your 1st game to ever play to be APOC... it kills everything.... really fast

Well I figured out so far it will be a Flying Dakka Tyrant. ALso being as about 2k army I'll try to provide some cover with Fex's while allies assault the frontlines and the Dakka helps coverfire.

I got roped into a 50,000 point apocalypse game when I was getting started on my IG..(I've only been playing for a few months, honestly, but I've played between 2-4 games a week from the end of march up until the end of may). Since I barely had 2000 points of guard at that time, and I was supposed to have 3000 points, they let me recycle about 1000 points of stuff (came in handy!) and have my own vortex grenade instead of the 1 per side. Boy did that grenade come in handy....

I learned ALOT from that game, but I'm glad it was my fourth or fifth game, instead of my very first. Luckly, my very first game was about 600 points-ish (we took the same things on the FOC, but didn't follow the 1 hq/2 troops build...had 1 HQ, 1 Troops, 1 Heavy each), and I got to play against someone else who was playing his very first game with someone who'd been playing for a long while coaching us. See if you can't get a game or two like that before the apocalypse game; you'll be able to iron out ALOT of your own misunderstandings...cause I guarantee you'll probably run into a couple!

The painting is going to be the hard one, plus I'll have 3 Panzerfex's in the shop that day to be magnetized. I'll try to get a few games in before if I get their early enough. i'll try it with one of the RT's because he is starting out with nids and I can teach him some of them while I learn roughly the rest, like how cc works.
