Apocalypse Section?

[rpricew]

So I was wondering how much interest there in on the Tyranid Hive and if there was enough to warrant an Apocalypse section. I've been playing a lot of Apoc lately and am working on developing scenarios and custom monsters (Gargantuan creatures)

But nobody knows Tyranids like Tyranid players and whenever I go to other sites more dedicated to Apocalypse there is all of this Non-Tyranid feedback.

Is there a particular reason why we don't have a section dedicated to Apoc and if so, would anyone please let me know?

If anyone thinks this is a good idea would you please chime in and let our wonderful moderators know, so maybe we could develop an active and working Apocalypse section.

I feel like there are some really cool threads, tutorials, discussions in the General section and other places that just seem to get lost...

What's the general consensus?

TL;DR - Should we have an Apocalypse section on the Tyranid Hive?

I have always maintained that Apoc is at the fun, non-competitive end of the 40K spectrum, where running multiple broods of suicidal Pyrovores is appropriate, and Tervigon spam is just rude!
As such, army lists, strategies and tactics, and even overall attitudes to the day are very different to a straight game of 40K.

Does a Hierophant imply WAAC? Did using a Chaos Baneblade to protect your Carnifex work out well? Did your Capillary tower seem more thematic if used as a Necron Warp Pylon instead?

I vote yes to an Apocalypse sub-forum!

I don't think we should have an apocalypse section. I love Apocalypse and I'm actually going to play a small Apoc game tomorrow... But there is so little being posted about Apocalypse around here. That said, It is not like you are not able to talk about Apocalypse here. Just start a thread in the appropriate board.

There isn't much to say about Apoc that isn't relevant to regular 40k, especially for Tyranids. We don't have a lot of Apoc only units. Heirodules, Heirophant, Harridan, that's about it.

We can and have exhausted those avenues of discussion very quickly. There just isn't enough material to discuss to warrant another board. That said, I don't really care overmuch one way or the other. If it was made there would be a brief burst of activity and then it would fall mostly silent.

Well that just proves how much more we can use our creativity to improve the situation, thus perfectly motivating a sub-board for the same reasons you stated above :-)

Additionally, I love apoc reports, pictures, humongous scratchbuilt monstrosities, house rules and special scenarios. We don't really have an extremist board fr that.
