During
GW’s Worldwide Summer Eye of Terror Campaign, our group decided to run a two day
Mega Battle based on the campaign. Since our group loves the ruined city
terrain, both days and all tables used the Codex: Cityfight rules.
On the
First day, we ran six 4’x6’ tables, each pitting the forces of Order against the
forces of Disorder. Games were 2500 points per player with two players per
table. Each table had a small bonus that would help out that team on the second
day. Examples include a free Baneblade Superheavy tank, Free Space Marne Hero,
Free Sisters of Battle Blessings, ect.
One the
second day, we combined all the tables into two Mega Tables. Table 1 (The
Eastern District) was 6’x8’ while Table 2 (The Southern District) was 4’x12’.
We now had 3 players per side, per table for a grand total of 12 guys pushing
models around. Each player had a 2500 point army with both sides pulling from
local Militia, gang members, cultist, ect (Each side also had 2500 points in IG
to distribute however they desired). Although the tables were in two separate
rooms, we “linked” them together by a special rule indicating an underground
subway system. Each table had two terminals and whichever side controlled the
terminals could “shuttle” troops to the other table to help its allies out.
Both
days were a blast! In the end, the forces of Order were able to overcome
the enemy and drive them from the city. Below are just a few of the
pictures we took.

Dark Eldar Raiders Try and capture an ancient Stasis Unit
The goal for this Scenario was to capture a recently discovered stasis unit which contained a Pre-Heresy Space Marine Hero. Whoever controlled the unit at the end of the game “convinced” the marine to fight with them. That team would be allowed to include him in the next day’s battle with the stats of “The Emperor’s Champion”.
