EDIT: EVENT DESCRIPTION (08/25/16)
The Emperor is dead and the Empire is ripe for plunder. The Forces of Destruction have assembled the Ultimate Army of Evil and have already sacked Stirland and the Moot. Now armies of Goblinoids, Skaven, and the minions of Chaos, continue their path of ruination by invading the key Imperial Province of Talabecland. Yet, the Men of the Empire do not despair. Under the leadership of Reiksmarshal Maximilian Arno and Valten, a rising war-hero said to be Sigmar reincarnate, the Forces of Order have united to preserve the Empire. Should Talabecland fall, the Empire’s first defense will be destroyed and scattered, and the enemies of Order will hold territory deep within Imperial lands in which to launch further invasions. The Forces of Order must hold or the entire Old World will burn…
The Ultimate Alliance of Absolute Power is a huge, multiplayer Warhammer Fantasy Battles game using the 8th edition rules set, with more than 20,000 points per side and lasting for the duration of the entire Da Boyz GT weekend!
Due to the massive scale of this game, the event is by invitation only. There is no option to register. However, if you are interested in committing to playing in this 8th edition all-weekend event and have a fully painted and flocked 8th edition Warhammer army of a least 5,000 points, contact Kevin Coleman (KevinC) on The Eighth Edition For Life (EEFL) Warhammer Forum at www.eefl.freeforums.net
Army construction rules:
THE ARMIES
The Ultimate Alliance of Absolute Power scenario is fought between two, enormous armies. Each side consists of a team alliance of four or more players with each player in control of their own individual army. The players, or a Game Master (GM), should divide themselves into two allied teams consisting of an equal amount of players per team.
Each player then chooses an army worth up to a maximum of 5,000 points (and a minimum of 4,000 points) from a Warhammer Armies book. Each army will count as a Grand Army as described on page 135 of the Warhammer rulebook.
All models MUST be fully painted (with flocked bases). If you are not sure if a model is fully painted, then assume it is not. Models not fully painted and flocked will not participate in the game and will count as causalities if they are placed on the table (such miniatures shall be deemed to have been immediately struck down by an appropriate deity for their repugnance and removed as causalities).
Also note, the rules rules for alliances as described in the WFB rulebook will apply. The teams will be the Forces of Order vs. the Forces of Destruction. Non-aligned armies will be placed where appropriate.
You can obvious build your army in whatever manner you wish, but note: standard victory points will not be use. Victory points will be awarded based on scenario objectives. The most important units in your army will be Infantry, Cavalry, and Monstrous Infantry.
Your army will need troops.FYI.
MAGIC ITEMS & SPECIAL CHARACTERS
Each army may only include magic items chosen from the army book specific Magic Item lists described in each Warhammer army book. For example, an Empire army may only choose magic items from the Empire specific magic items found in The Empire army book. If two or more players on the same team are playing an army using the same army book, the players must consult one another to ensure that they do not duplicate the same magic items. Note: there will be others ways to acquire additional magic items in this scenario.
In addition, any other unit that is one of a kind, such as special character, are also 0-1 per side. Meaning, there can only be one Archaon Everchosen, etc. Players on the same side using the same army list must consult to ensure that they are not duplicating special characters, magic items, or any other unit/equipment that is normally a 0-1 choice.
THEMED ARMIES
We want to encourage fun and themed armies. If a player has an idea for a cool and themed unit formation or army construction that would normally be illegal, contact KevinC on this forum for possible approval. For example, an army of Yhetees or a unit of Skink chariots, etc.
-----------------
We are done with cutthroat tournament play but recognize that many guys still hang onto WFB because it's FUN. What could be more fun than hanging out with such infamous EEFL members as KevinC, dannytee, avatarofbugman, wilsonthenarc, chuckjerry, boda317, and myself?
The plan:
20,000++ point game that will span 2 days of Daboyz GT in beautiful Canandaigua, NY.
Finally field that 4,000 point army!
Friday will be for open EEFL gaming for anyone who is willing to take the day off of work.
Friday night setup for big game.
Sat-Sun, play through a special scenario written by KevinC just for the event (complete with objectives for each participant).
The game will be played until a particular time on Sunday, no fixed turns.
Huge battlefield (at least 4 tables) which will likely include a live siege as part of the game.
Beautiful terrain and gaming mats.

EEFL!!!!!
