Warhammer 40k - The Longest Table

Organise by Mark Morrison & War All the Time

The Longest Table is a 36,000 pt game for 24 players on a 26 foot long table, pitting the hardbitten forces of the Imperium and its allies against the ever encroaching hordes of Chaos and other xenos scum. It's heaps of fun, and the perfect way to unwind on Monday after the 2-day competition over the weekend.

• Bring along a 1,500 point army, and 2 copies of your army list - one to show your opponent(s).
• All miniatures must be painted, and identifiable as the troop they represent. The whole idea is to have a mega battle that looks awesome. So, if it is not painted, you cannot field it.
• All other Basic Rules listed for the main tournament apply, including legal armies.
• You must register by Sunday night. Please arrive by 11:00am. Briefing is 11:15am. Setup commences 11:30pm.
• The battle will be one continuous table.
• Turns will be synchronised along the length of the table.
• The organisers will choose which side you will join. Each side will elect a general.
• Starting positions will be chosen by the general.
• Each player will deploy along a 3' front up to 15" in (i.e. sharing a 6' table with one ally).
• The game will use the Infiltrators, Victory Points and Deep Strike special rules.
• Once the battle starts, you can attack any enemy unit on the opposing side. You will not be limited to your original deployment zone - in fact, we encourage you to go nuts!
• There are no limits to the range of Deep Strike or Daemonic Summoning.
• You will be given a stack of cards to prepare for your force - each of your units will have two cards, one for half points value (50% killed or vehicle damaged), one for the rest of its points value (completely destroyed). Any player who kills or damages a unit is awarded its card.
• In addition, there will be special objectives on each table, each of which will yield a card. Commanders will have a Bonus Points card. Objectives will be awarded to the player that gets there first, so long as they still qualify to hold it at the end of the battle (e.g. unit is above 50%, etc.).
• The battle will be six turns duration, and will finish no later than 6:30pm.
• At the end of the battle, you will count up the cards you have won by killing units or taking objectives.
• The player with the highest points tally is the winner! There will also be second and third prizes, special prizes for special objectives, best painted army, most memorable army, etc.
• All points will be added together to determine which side wins: Imperial or Chaos!
• Despite all these rules, the idea is just to have a big-ass game, so don't take it too seriously!

The Longest Table available 1 long session spanning Monday 1pm, 4pm. Flat fee $12. Max 24 players.
