40K: The Longest Table
The Good, The Bad and the Orkoid
Brought to you by Anton Troynikov and GROTS club.

The Longest Table is a 40k mega battle for up to 30 players on a single, very long table. The game will pit the forces of order against the hordes of nasties lurking in the 40k galaxy; 15 players a side, 1200pts per player, 3 feet of table edge each, one titanic conflict!
The Longest Table is the ideal way to get warmed up for Saturday's main 40k event, or just to play in a game of unusually BIG HUGE size.
- The game will be played on one continuous table, one side being made up of the forces of order (All Imperials including Imperial Guard and Space Marines, Eldar and Tau) while the other side will be made up of everyone else. The side you join will be determined by the organisers.
- Please arrive at midday for a 12:15pm briefing.
- Each side will elect a general from amongst themselves before the game; the generals of each side will deploy directly opposite one another in the middle of the table. The generals of each side will decide which deployment zone the players on their side will deploy in.
- Each side of the table will be split up into a number of deployment zones equalling the number of players on both sides. Players will deploy within these zones, one player per zone.
- Turns will be made in sync along each side of the table, and the game will be the standard 6 turns duration.
- 1200pt Armies chosen from a single current 40k codex, with the same restrictions as the main 40k Tournament. Players are strongly encouraged to bring the same army that they will use for the main tournament.
- Players will be asked to bring along two cards for each unit in their army; one card for the first half of the points value of the unit, the other for the second half. Players will hand over these cards to the opponent responsible for reducing their units to half strength, and for wiping a unit out. You can download a set of cards at http://40k.arcanacon.org/longest-table-units.pdf
- Once the game starts, you are free to act as you wish, within the scope of the 40k 4th ed rules: This means that you may deep strike, infiltrate etc. anywhere on the table.
- There will be objectives placed along the length of the table; the side that controls these objectives will recieve bonuses throughout the game.
- The winning side and player will be decided based on the sum of the victory points they have at the end of the game; as well as destroying the enemy, bonus points will be given out for controlling objectives, killing commanders etc.
- Prizes will be awarded to the players with the highest victory points total on both sides, the general of the winning side, as well as to the best painted army (player's choice) on both sides.
