85,600pt Game, Part 1 Deployment

So my friend talked me into raising the points a little more to allow one of our friends to join in with his Ultramarines. In the downside, my partner bailed on me and I was forced to borrow some space marines to make up the difference in points on my own armies. So as it stands, the battle will put the Imperial Guard, Tau, and Ultramarines up against the Orks, Necrons, and Imperial Knights (Space Marines). It should prove to be a fairly interesting battle. I Don't see the Ork side as really having much of a chance at winning though, but it will still be fun. They have a total of 16 preliminary barrages, and with me having to deploy over 90% of my forces on the table at the start, they are going to wipe out a big chunk before the game even really gets underway.

"Hey, you wanna play some epic 40k? Just round up 80,000 points worth of minis on both sides and duke it out?"

SURE, THAT'S ALRIGHT. NOT LIKE I HAD ANYTHING ELSE TO DO THIS WEEK.

@biowon this isn't epic though, its full size 40k :)

is that a Johnny on the floor at 4:03?

[Trueflights]

@shy0dusk Not sure, I don't see anything at 4:03 but a panning shot of the floor and a table leg.

damn.. if you had to guess. how much money do you think was spent on everything on that table???! (not counting proxy and such :))

[Trueflights]

@nikolaizolo just GW models, I own around $5000 or so between my three main armies, but just the orks and necrons are here. The guy running the Imperial side of things owns two or three times what I do.

I would be willing to bet that if you go by current retail prices there would be a good $7000+ of GW models being used in the game, not counting the non GW and proxy models. Though much of it was bought over the last 18 years, many from when GW stuff was much cheaper to buy.

@DrDavidHowler Often if it is any of your business. Been married for 14 years now and in fact my kids are of the age now that they are taking an interest in playing as well.

@Summerandher4girls I record them on a $50 3megapixel digital camera that I happened to have laying around. If you are interested in making a donation so I can get some better video and sound recordningequipment, let me know.

@Trueflights Oh yeah... And now I know about 40K Epic :P

Seriously though, nice setup you guys got. I wish I had that many models - and the room needed to use 'em all in one game lol.
