Dave’s 300,000 pt Warhammer 40k Apocalypse Game | Orks vs Chaos
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 12. 2022
- I spent 60 hours playing one board game. Over 10,000 miniatures were used.
My goal with this video is to reach new audiences and invite them into the wargaming community. It is not a requirement to know Warhammer rules to enjoy this video. My dad watched it (he’s 72) and he could follow it. He’s not a wargamer.
If you know someone you’d like to introduce to the hobby and game that is Warhammer then this is a great video to show them. They’ll feel the magic and fun that’s generated when we allow ourselves to unleash our inner child.
Over 6 months in the making. It’s the most ambitious project I’ve ever done! I’m so proud to present it to you. I feel like a kindergarten kid in school who’s really excited about show and tell. I’m absolutely stoked to show you this film that represents the fun that is had in the wargaming community.
This has never been done before and I have the old-man pains to prove it. What you’re seeing right now is an actual game that people play. Crazy right? This is Warhammer 40k Apocalypse. The players are called wargamers, they could literally be anyone you know (show doctor, fireman, teacher, high schooler) and I’m one of them. This “board game” is technically called a tabletop (cuz it’s literally played on a tabletop) miniature (cuz it includes miniatures) wargame (cuz it has armies battling each other). Kind of like Risk or Battleship. I wanted to play the largest game that’s ever been seen.
I used my personal collection of Chaos Space Marines totaling 144,000 pts to do this. I also enlisted Kyle’s help and his 150,000 + pts of Orks to accomplish this feat of tabletop gaming. - MWG Dave

If this doesn't get the Guiness Book of Records' seal of approval, I'll be very, very disappointed.... :)
This is more like a romance novel! 300,000 POINTS?! Awesome, with a side of awesome, smothered in awesome, with everything covered in awesomesauce! And thanks for introducing me to Gear Guts!
Um a 300k pts battle so some one made a tabletop movie right....right
Do you guys have any Fat Mat discounts like you did in 2017?
now this feels like what a lore accurate battle would look like on the table
Small skirmish
nah too many marines, this many marines could seige terra
This is what I would imagine Horus Heresy to look like moreso than 40k
Actually the orks and tyranids would totally have this many in a battle
And that's why I play Epic.
Fielding 30 Leman Russ tanks is not only legal, but viable. I just knocked a list together where I could probably make it work at 3000 points, including artillery, a scout screen, and air defence.
Kinda disappointed. This really needed a Timelapse from a top-down perspective. I feel like I didn’t really get to see the flow of the battle, or much of the battle at all for that matter.
Agreed!
I'm glad to read this criticism because, as someone only familiar from a distance with 40k and wargaming, I was worried I just wasn't groking the game. A lot of time was spent explaining gameplay basics-as if this was supposed to be approachable for those outside the community-and I was able to follow along just fine with that stuff, yet it was totally impossible to understand what was happening overall with the battle. I don't envy anyone having to play AND record AND edit a 60 hour game with 10s of thousands of minis, but it really felt like they didn't know what they wanted the video to be and as such it ended up being very unsatisfying.
Came here to see a battle, ended up watching some dudes talking about how their collections are big.
I'm curious about this. Could you recommend something to watch that did impress you.
I read the description and it seems to indicate he's trying to basically reach a broader audience with this. Show the coolest stuff and kinda hand wave the dice rolling. It's fine, but yeah I definitely wish there was a cooler time lapse available
The literal interpretation of the old meme “this little maneuver is gonna cost us 51 years”
"old meme" 🤔🤫😮💨
Honestly would love to see a time-lapse of everything being setup and broke down to just really take in the amount of models
Same
yeah and just more general close up footage of the set.
Oh yes, timelapse would be awesome.
And next time get some minions to dispose of the dead? Maybe have a row of tables for the deadpile, a huge junk/graveyard ...
Maybe a place to roll dice is handy, with a camera pointed down?
Me too! I saw glimpses of titans! They we get production value
I’ve wanted to see things like this my whole hobby life.
Right?
Honestly guys, I’m honoured and humbled to be a part of this. And your excitement is shared with my excitement. I cannot wait to jump on the live premiere chat with you tomorrow.
I don’t even play and I have wanted to see this my whole life!
I agree. This was massive and awesome.
@@miniwargaming it makes me want to move back to Ontario, Alberta needs a MWG hub xD
That was quite the big battle! Most painters are impressed to see one nicely painted yellow figure. An entire squad is even better, and an entire army is quite something, but an entire room full is unbelievable
When I saw the army on his channel that was my comment. If you can pull off yellow this successfully then why not do an entire army of it.
The details man, just MIND BLOWING
Big battle? I couldn't see a battle.
I dont even play warhammer, more of a d&d type but man. Seeing this is just pure unfiltered amazement im in awe at the sheer size and quality of the armies
It’s a bit absurd isn’t it? 😂
@MWG Studios Absurd and really really cool
Years ago i built an orc army for D&D , i understand this addiction lol
Same I couldn't help but watch I was fascinated the entire time
I am honoured . This was so fun to participate in !
You are a true chaos champion, my brother!!!
Skari butt dice!
What was the music for your intro?
Amazing ! on both ends.
you could probably apply for official world records with this
It’s crossed my mind.
The battle of waterloo was played back in 2019. Now this have been done plenty of time where each historical infantry battalion was represented on the table by a unit.
But this time they used a scale of 3x 24 miniature units to represent one battalion.
So They had 22,435 28mm miniatures in use.
czcams.com/video/gMoTMr2Qk9o/video.html
But obviously this was limited to infantry, cavalry and artillery models in addition to some supply wagons and similar.
No titans or super heavy tanks.
Also a huge number of people was involved in painting the miniatures for it and actually playing the game.
So what really makes this 40K game impressive is the big models and the fact that it did not involved large number of people painting and playing.
Smallest battle in lore:
Haha you’re not wrong 😂
minor disagreement
A kerfuffle.
Small argument
There was a missed opportunity to hear Gimli screaming at the falling Gargant; "IT STILL ONLY COUNTS AS ONE."
Damn! I've done a 55,000 point battle before divided between 7 armies. It took 26 hours. You guys have my respect.
We did like a 572,000 point game divided between 44 armies, and I think we did it in about 12 hours.
Could have been like up to 16 hours.
This was like 20 years ago, so it's hard to remember for sure how long it took.
It was the grand finale of the Eye Of Terror campaign.
Every Games Workshop was holding a big lock-in event for the weekend, where all the players were supposed to come, and just bring EVERYTHING that we owned.
So far as we knew, our store held the biggest event out of all stores anywhere.
It was insanity.
It was so sweaty and gross.
That air conditioner could not handle 44 people crammed in one gaming room.
Modern Games Workshop stores aren't even big enough to accommodate that sort of event anymore.
I think our store had like 84 ft of main gaming tables?
Something like that.
That was about the same time that the Firewarrior game came out, and the third edition Cadian Imperial Guard.
And I won both. I think we won the Imperial Guard Army Box in a raffle, and I forgot what I did to win the Firewarrior demo disc.🤔
Well, technically my brother won the Imperial Guard Army Box, but he didn't want it and just gave it to me. LOL
Crazy ass weekend.
I'm in the middle of a game where there is a total of 2,483,235 points, with 200 army's.
Have been at this for just about 2 weeks. It is a fight to the last man.
@@okanakasugimoto8254 damn! That's insane.
The most I can tell you about mine was it was a birthday party for a friend of mine, with his friends from his mom's house on one side and friends from his dad's house on the other. However everyone on the side from his Dad's house (except me quit after a few hours). So there I was controlling 3 armies. Two of which I didn't plan, and 1 was orks who I had never fought or used before. Thankfully I was a Tyranid player so it wasn't a big jump. The other was my younger brothers Eldar army which I was very familiar with. Going against the Birthday boy and 3 others, so I felt super obligated to keep fighting. Again, I was facing an army I had never fought before (the Catachan, a brand new army at the time, and Dark Eldar)... as the birthday day really wanted to beat me, I think it was planned everyone else quit. As I was basically his white Whale opponent. I was the kid he introduced to 40k, but after a few games I basically mastered it and I was basically the kid, that would rarely lose but when everyone finally beat me it was like finally beating their dad in chess. They cherished it... and I was super sporting and loved a great challenge.
That day I lost, not to the birthday boy but his friend, because my Hive Tyrant and its Guard couldn't get past the Shadow Field endlessly never rolling a 1. No matter how many hits I landed. xD
It was a great game. Loved every minute of it and all of it's wackiness.
I really hope your battle will be as fun and memorable as mine was.
@@jonathanryan9946 so far every army still has about 30-40% of it's starting strength. so we will see what happens
@@okanakasugimoto8254 I hope you have a blast finishing the game!
Only MWG could pull this off! I am forever thankful for Dave, Matt and all MWG Staff (past and present) for keeping this hobby at the level of fun each video brings. This is definitely one awesome game and I can only hope to see this or toss a model or two into something at this AMAZING of a scale. Keep up the awesome work and Happy War Gaming!
Thank you for your support and for believing in us! It was quite the undertaking but it was worth it to receive all this positive feedback.
“I spent 60 hours playing 1 board game”
*The Campaign for North Africa has entered the chat*
Haven't watch any MWG video in ages, but this one has the energy of early MWG with 2022 level of editing. Could be broadcasted to TV as an introduction to warhammer
Thank you for this! It was my hope in making the video.
This video made me miss the Apocalypse games we had in our local gaming club. The Battles took literally all day, and it was one of those rare occations where you got to se the almost every model ever made and some that had not bin made officially, but was still represented by home made models.
The love, passion, and excitement you guys have for not only the hobby but also the community - is truly inspiring and is a fresh of breath air in this crazy world. Normally we all just comment on the content (which is awesome) but this time I wanted to give thanks to the people behind it and glad so many others are too. Much love! 🙏
This feels like a fever dream that got spat out by the warp........... Just another day in the life of the awesome crew at MWG. Kudos to all who made it possible
Cheers Chris Angell. I’m thinking of magic tricks now.
Thank you all for the massive amount of work you guys put into this. It's always amazing to see
this is a perfect representation of the smallest battle in 40k lorewise
Your certainly NOT to old for this. It takes a certain level of life success to actually AFFORD this type of Army, let alone the time.
So many models and not a single bucket of dices being thrown.
This is like old kung fu movies where you get attack by one at a time.
Disappointed it wasn’t a whole game!
Holy throne I enjoyed that. :) :) ;)
Awesome 🙌 I super super super appreciate that this wasn't a 4 hour video of watching you roll every single die roll in the game. The brief summary is perfect 👍
Thank you! This was the goal. To make it digestible.
Hear me out... 100,000 points each player in teams of 4?
loving this new content style dave.
Thank you!
Its like explaining rock climbing with a 15 min video about Everest
This is so incredible! Hats off to the dedication you two bring to the hobby not only for hosting such a huge game but even more so doing it with entirely painted armies is just stunning to me! Please tell me that you might post a longer version of the battle?
I’m contemplating it. But it would be an obscene amount of editing post production time.
Is this a world record?
This is the most expensive game ever played, also cudos to whoever painted all that probably took more time than the game itself
Dave, Matt, and the gang have continuously upped their game over the years. Been following the channel for about 10 years, and hope to be following it for many more. Keep up the awesome work, guys.
1:13 Designer: “How many jet engines do you want on your new aircraft?”
Ork Airforce: “Yes”
I wanna see Henry Cavill's Custodes go up against Alpha Legion... That would be like the best two hour movie since Justice League
This is a type of video I always wished someone would make, but knew, or thought, it would be virtually impossible
Amazing video - to condense that many hours of gameplay into a 15 minute video is an achievement. Was able to watch this battle on my commute to work which is great - well done everyone!
Me and my brother have been playing warhammer with my dad forever. He’s been collecting for over twenty years, all the way when the blood angels were called the “orange terror”. This game is deep in my families history. And yet even with are massive collection of almost all the factions with figures and titans old and new models we don’t have this many points. But it does feel good that at least we would have enough in our Armies to make a respectful push, hehe
This right here. This right here is what Warhammer is all about. Its crazy to think even with this immense size Warhammer can still go bigger than
Production quantity on this is fantastic. Love to see how far you guys have come.
Haven't even seen it yet and this already my favorite thing you have done
Thanks for the confidence ❤
imagine this game play out but it 3d hologram ,god that would be so EPIC
Amazingly well done. Good show all. Highly Satisfied Silver Vault member for many years, love the channel, love the growth, love the love. Keep up the great stuff.
This is amazing, 100% an easily consumable format for battle reports. Always love the traditional games, but a condensed "narrative" format would be awesome for when we don't have time for full games
That is an insane battle there! Well done in organizing it and playing it out.
It was seeing MWG's first Apoc video that got me wanting to play 40k back in 2008 (I seriously had to scroll for 10 min to get to verify the year!) and it's so cool to see them still going. When I saw how big Dave's chaos army was and then saw the Big Mek Shop army, I knew it was only a matter of time before the two would clash. I wish I could of been there to roll some dice for chaos (though I don't think Dave would appreciate my rolling skills...) but just to roll some would of been fun.
I hear you Dave... Getting old sucks!
Don't play 40k, but wow, what a game.
Thank you for saying so and welcome to the wargaming community! I can only imagine what you must think of all this.
@@miniwargaming very epic in scale.
This is the canon battle between gazgull and khorn that I’ve been waiting for
Oh man, this brings back memories of when I used to take my army to the hobby shop on the weekends and play with the Imperial Guard.
Absolutely stunning! This right here is why Mini Wargaming is king, and why I plan to purchase one of GGMS’s Stompas (‘the Mek Baby’) very soon!!
INSANITY AT ITS FINEST!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE YA BROTHER!!!!!!!!
Hey dude!! I miss you guys man. You should totally come to the bunker. Message me brother, let’s make it happen!
GLORIOUS!
Never did I think I would actually see this happen! But it is. It will be a mess and it will be awesome
You ain't wrong! This is gonna be on par with watching Chaplain Blademort go off cuz no pineapple on the pizza
It’s been a project I’ve been working on for 6 months and it’s only now finally finished and ready. It’s my most ambitious project to date. Many people went into making this production possible and I’m absolutely stoked to reveal it to you tomorrow.
@@miniwargaming I am very excited to see the results of all the hard work put into it :)
It's a madhouse!
A MADHOUSE!!!
no clue about warhammer or how the game is played but wow you guys have incredible collections
Thank you and welcome to the wargaming community! If you like collections of painted minis there are sooooo many insanely talented artists on Instagram. search #warhammer40k and you’ll find some stunning closeup paint jobs on miniatures. Hop over and have a look 🙂 let me know what you think. I’m curious to hear the initial reaction from someone who is new to the hobby.
@@miniwargaming thank you and thank you for sharing the hobby with the world what amazing artist and mini's you could spend days no weeks just looking at each one.
Evidence that Dave is an absolute mad lad. And the Chadest of Dads that the forces of Chaos could ever rally behind.
The word nerds is not enough!!
I feel like this will inspire years of lore when ghazkull finally act revenge on angron with his great WAGGGHHHH!!
I'll like that! Just like the codex covers of old.
Congratulations on such an epic game. I can only imagine how tedious it was to move all those figures and keep track of everything each turn.
Amazing! I wish the video wasn't so dramatic and reality tv styled though.
Got me rolling my eyes a few times too much :p
Just the sheer amount of minis on the board is amazing. They are also all amazingly painted. Well done!
14:56 best love story in all of warhammer.
Someone needs to save this man from him self he’s gone mad with power
Muahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!
They're literally like little kids! I love it! 🤣
Just recently got into 40k, and besides loving the lore, i really like the models. Thank you, this vídeo made all my kid me dream fights between my toys a reality.
Oh My Emperor Is This Glorious!
It's for things like this, this is why I subscribed!
Kyle is actually Gork and Mork combined again in one body.
I'm watching this half drunk and 100% very excited. I feel like I have the perfect mindset rm to enjoy this beautiful insanity!
This is more metal than Eddie from Iron Maiden riding into hell on a T-rex to fight Satan himself while the souls of the damned sing Metallica's Creeping Death in the background.
That was the goal haha.
I love this. I loved watching those Apocalypticon (or however it’s spelled lol) videos and this has that same energy.
truly it has been a Warhammer
thats a goal for me one day have so many minis that me and my friends can spend a weekend playing an apocalypse game
i follow mwg easily 10years this is something we all wanted but all knew will be hard because cost/space/60hours free time
So much truth has been spoken here. All hail Saitama the bringer of truth and gratitude! Lol dude thanks man. It’s means a lot and we thank you for your support.
I'm just getting into this world after years of console and PC gaming..
Learning the background of Warhammer 40k and seeing how it's done.
Impressive and very well done gents, thank you.
I saw Skared comments and tips on Drukhari and how to play them and I have been kicking ass with them for a long time now.. Good choice to bring him into this epic game.
🎉
Definitely amazing! I will show this to my friends and hope that one day we will participate in something this great!!!
This was Dave's Magnum opus
A friend recommended this to me. As a Bad Moonz Ork player, this both inspires and intimidates me. I am just in awe.
This is absolutely amazing! I want to dive in and play myself! Most likely on a significantly smaller scale 😂😂😂 awesome job on this video! Warhammer is lucky to have you guys apart of the community!!
I like the fact that 8 hours after this is posted and at the time I am currently watching this vid, this vid has 40k views
I remember seeing a lot of Warhammer stuff growing up now this is just getting me more hyped for Warhammer space marines 2 game
Random guy is my favorite.
when the imperial guard needs to water a lawn
THIS IS WHAT I LOVE SEEING.....EVEN IF IT TAKES A WEEK TO WATCH
hahaha yes! I won't do that to you though. This vid is only 15 min.
what an INSANE game. You guys bring amazing energy to the hobby!
cheers to you Kyle
I want someone to look at me the way that Kyle looks at his Broozers
Almost enough Dakka, guys. You're getting there. ^_^
That bit at the end where abbadon was losing and then came back from the brink was perfect.
That's a lot of dakka... So much heresy...
Absolutely magnificent!
My body is ready AND I have the day off tomorrow. Heck yeah!!
Excellent! See you in the live chat tomorrow
This makes me think they're going to do a reality TV show....
I'm just getting into the Warhammer rabbit hole and I'm already loving this maddening spiral.
Finallly, I have been looking for this type of damn battle
This is epic
I've never had the opportunity to play the tabletop game itself (for multiple reasons, i.e. money), but I do enjoy painting the models very much. I don't really understand what I just watched, but I know it was beautiful.
THIS IS FANTASTIC!!! 😍😍😍 give us more! I would Watch The entire 60 hour battle! 😁✌🏻💥🎉
I always thought about a game like this. All weekend waking up grabbing your morning drink and back to chaos it goes ❤
Not gonna lie, I really wish you guys woulda played it out to the end. i woulda watch every turn with every detail. Looked epic!
... Jesus! This is like drowning in the Chocolate-Fountain at the Ponderosa...
