First round (2 game turns) of Apocalypse went pretty well. The Hierodule seems to be stomping us pretty hard but I think we're holding our own. The game is also moving along pretty quickly so it will be interesting to see what's left after next week.

Do you think that crazy bug is immune to my gift of chaos? (1 roll of a 6 and that bad boy turns into a spawn wahahahaha!) or 9 Abbadon attacks, 4 of which should hit and wound + I could bring in my 15 termies and shoot their combi-meltas at the SOB (only good for 3 wounds statistically) and my DP could get maybe 1 wound on it. OR...... Kevin could just shoot it.

just so you know... that last post was from me not babybird, that was my wife's account I accidently sent it under.

Whatever you say babybird.

I would definitely look into the gift of chaos thing. I don't think it would be/should be allowed on it, but it would be interesting.

I can't find rules for the thing like he is playing it anywhere though so it is hard to check on it.

Is he not using the 1250 pt big bug from the Apoc book? I was assuming that was the data sheet he was using. Does anyone know for sure how many wounds he has left? I noticed he has a dice on the base with 1 showing. If he is using the Apoc data sheet, that bug has 10 wounds, so I wonder if he has 9 left. I thought someone said he only had 7 wounds left.

I think we should do whatever it take to kill the bug. Even if we lose the game, it would still be very gratifying to kill it.

Looking at the pictures I think that we should be able to do a lot of damage to the big bug in the shooting phase. It looks like we have a lot of stuff in range. Then if Abaddon, the DP., and my orks assault it we could be sitting pretty good. I do know the thing is immune to gift of chaos.

Keep in mind that Strength 6 is required to even touch it (T:9), that it drops your WS by 1 due to Toxic Miasma and that you lose 1 attack due to Lash Whip.

The thing is nasty and OP.

I'm not saying that we can't do it or shouldn't try.
