The Longest Table

  • On Friday we will have Longest Table battles. Entry is separate from the main competition.
  • Please arrive by midday. Briefing is 12:15pm. Setup commences 12:30pm. Game start is 1pm.
  • Armies are as per the main 40K competition: 1,200pts, painted. All restrictions are the same. Players are strongly encouraged to use their weekend tournament army.
  • There will be four Longest Table battles:
    • The Longest Waaagh: Orks vs. Imperial Guard
    • The Longest Bughunt: Marines vs. Tyranids
    • The Longest Crusade: Imperium vs. Chaos
    • The Longest Xeno War: Eldar & Tau vs. Necrons & Dark Eldar
  • The organisers will choose which table you will join, and which side.
  • There will be a maximum of 20 players per table
  • Turns will be synchronised along the length of each table.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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 battles 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.
  • Prizes will be awarded for the player with the most VP on each table.
  • The idea of this event is just to have some big-ass games, meet some of the other players, and warm-up for the main weekend competition.
