I had the opportunity to head out and play a large Warhammer 40k Apocalypse game. This was my first go around with 6th edition apocalypse and I think it went really well. For the first time I used a formation, the Imperial Shield, which is more or less a giant blob of guardsmen who have an ability to regenerate models during the scheduled breaks (a new part of apocalypse). In spite of having a massive amount of guardsmen, my opponents made short work of them and they were gone in two turns. In addition to that, there were a lot of casualties on my end and towards the end of the game, I only had my 3 Vendetta’s left at that point. Aside from some strange rules quirks, like bringing back super-heavies during a scheduled break by sacrificing victory points, I thought everything played pretty smoothly.
