CWF Game Cast

This was originally a page on this blog. We have since re-evaluated it and determined it works better as an article.  This has the added benefit of allowing us to tag it so you can find this more easily.  If you originally linked people to GW Army Release Dates please link them to this article instead.

This is a republishing of content that was made available here back in 2006. The information comes to us from Warseer.

We have taken the liberty to cross off projects that have been released. We have also amended the release date where available. If we have missed anything or don’t have the correct release dates please let us know. You can use our Contact Us form to submit that information. You can also use that form to send us new information on release dates.

More images have arrive from the Apocalypse Mega-Battle held at Battleground Games on Saturday, January 7th. The event was a huge success with lots of carnage and explosions. We will be sharing pictures, video, and audio from the event with you as it is made available to us.

The images below were sent to me by Commissar Grey on the BG forum. He also helped to create the tables and a lot of the terrain on them. Be sure to head over to the official BG forum to see the original images and all the new stuff people are posting.

If you have any pics, video, or audio from the event please send it attached in an e-mail to cwfgamecast [at] wargamingforums [dot] com.

See if you can ID the people in the pics. I’ll give you one to start off. Third pic down is my friend Steve’s stomach.

Leave a comment with their name and what pic they’re in. We’ll make captions as necessary.

The first images have started to arrive from the Apocalypse Mega-Battle held at Battleground Games on Saturday, January 7th. The event was a huge success with lots of carnage and explosions. We will be sharing pictures, video, and audio from the event with you as it is made available to us.

The images below were posted on the official Battleground Games message board by moosifer37. He also came up with the great captions. Be sure to head over to the official BG forum to see the original images and all the new stuff people are posting.

This one is after the valiant and heroic stand near the tower objective. Not pictured is the brother captain’s forces who perished in the assault but is not forgotten.

Here is the space marine chapter loki’s chosen standing up to an iron warrior line breaker squadron.

As you can see the earth still shakes after the vicious linebreaker attack, with soo many battle brothers dead.

I call this one the top gun view from a chaos fighter going a billion miles an hour.

Going back in time to September 9, 2006 we arrive at TXG Tau for the Greater Good. That article was part of the failed CWF Game Cast Inter-System Tale of X Gamers. Although the TXG failed, the article serves as a perfect launching point for this foray into the realm of 40k Apocalypse.

Now fast forward 1 year and almost 200 articles later. I’m on a self-imposed retirement from 40k and all GW games. I’ve given up my Tomb Kings, Army of Sylvania, Empire, Beastmen, Hordes of Chaos, Space Marines, Eldar, Tau, Praetorians, Necrons, Kroot, Space Orks, and all things BFG. But wait, this article is called “Creating a 40k Apocalypse Army: Giddy-Up!” Why the heck am I telling you about my forsaken GW armies. Oh yes, now I remember. I was as unimpressed with GW as anyone could be. Didn’t spend any money on their products and bashed them repeatedly. Until I read White Dwarf 333.

WD 333 discusses Apocalypse in depth and it won me over. The ability to play where rules lawyers don’t have a toehold, where fun and sportsmanship reigns, where we can toss everything in including the kitchen sink (hey that’s a Battlewagon right?) And yes, the new plastic Baneblade had a little to do with it (ooh its so shiny and big).

After drooling over the pretty pics (please see Apocalypse Archive for the pics, not the drool) I hit my first stumbling block. What army do I play? Just 2 weekends ago I as cleaning out the basement and getting ready to throw away all my models. Do I choose one of those armies, always a work in progress, and add onto it? Or, do I start fresh?
