Does apoc have any general deployment strats players can use? Or is it the same as a typical game?

There are some unique deployment strats in the book and general ideas on how the game should run. It is all in chapter approved.

Does this game still have room for 1 more?
Also, since I'd be remiss to ask, how stringent, if at all, are we being with WYSIWYG?

Correct! Got me a nice kustom stompa that's every bit as falling apart as it should be.

In my experience, most people here don't care too much about WYSIWYG as long as it is reasonable or basically looks like what it is. Like don't be subbing in a SM captain for Reboot Gorillaman and you'll be fine.

Does this game still have room for 1 more? Also, since I'd be remiss to ask, how stringent, if at all, are we being with WYSIWYG? Traditionally, as a group, we're pretty flexible. As long as it's reasonable to say "that model has that gun/wargear", and you've said what it is beforehand, no worries. Apoc is, of course, a special beast... being the opportunity to try out the "too expensive" or otherwise things that you just normally wouldn't (and probably don't have modeled). All that is to say, be reasonable. If two orks in a sea of orks (and I hope, for everyone's sake, that it's a sea of orks) are *actually* carrying <whatever>.... it's hard to tell the difference. But if the two special guns in each of your mobs are *actually <this>*, not a big deal. Personal example - I haven't gotten around to fixing up the Acid Maw conversions for my Genestealers yet - 5 out of my 20 are able to take them. Although the "real" model is just a gland under the head, so it's easy to get lost and not notice anyway. I have a small handful of 'stealers with different paint jobs that I plan to use as the "these are the ones with Acid Maws"... they'll be easy to notice at a glance, and as long as I declare it up front, easy to keep track of. Also, since the current Hive Tyrant doesn't have an actual Monstrous Rending Claw bit (hopefully fixed soon), any Nid player using them has to get a little creative... it helps that 80% of Tyrants that don't have 2 guns will have 1 set of MRC's, though (rough estimate). Hopefully that's all some form of helpful... I guess the general idea is "can your opponent, generally speaking, keep track of what your models are armed with?". Try to make the answer yes.

You're an Ork, the Ork codex literally says Orks attach non functioning weapons to vehicles because they are awesome (both the orks and the guns). Most of my vehicles feature weapons that there aren't even rules for, and my favorite wagon has dreadnought arms. If you are building normal looking Ork vehicles, then you are playing the wrong faction. Upside, we'll have a two stompa game, so its twice the waste of points! On a possibly related note, anyone against me bringing beer?

Booooo. So what are the teams looking like now? I only have 200 power of nids anyway, so maybe we can team up with orks vs imperium?

At a certain point you have to make a decision, Nick: do you want a loving wife and family, a nice home, contentment and happiness; or do you want to play toy soldiers with a bunch of sweaty dudes in a basement?
