Getting into Apocalypse


As a way to help those few souls who haven't tried their hand at playing Apocalypse sized games of 40k, I enlisted the help of the FTW Blogger Group in putting together some info to get you warmed up to the idea of losing hundreds upon hundreds of points of models in a single shot and having a great time doing so.

Looking for all those official GW Apocalypse Datasheets?
You can jump directly to the GW page and find them here.
