me and a friend recently played a game where I played as high elves and he played as tau. I won by 250 vpts. Has Anyone else tried this and if so what armys did you use and who won?

Actually, I've done 40K against Fantasy quite a few times, and its been 50/50 so far...
You pretty much use the 40K rules in the 40K players turn, and fantasy in the fantasy persons turn.
But if you used just one set of rules, the one whos rules you are using would probally win...

I believe they actually suggested something of this sort in the Necron codex...or at least the idea of fighting Lizardmen with Necrons in 40k.

You have to know what you're doing before you start though...you might want to apply certain "global" rules that work in each players turn. For example - Do you get to take your armor save in addition to your invunerable/ward save? In 40k you must choose one if you have a choice, etc.

Until the revision comes out soon, you might find it hard to beat a 40k army...as 3rd edition was designed with an extremely dumb approach to leadership and its impact on the game (basically...next to nothing).

40K Turn: Both sides get either their ward/invulnerble or thier basic armor save...
Fantasy Turn: You get both types of saves.

I used to do this when I didnt have 2 armies for either game system, but then I didnt really know the ruels either... Anyhow, Fantasy almost always won because of a Dragon. Only the marine terminators could really take it down... Now, I find it overly difficult to do, so I dont bother anymore, but seeing some rules for it would be fun!!

well, if you take it from a fluff point of view. The Empire-sorry, Imperium would've found the fantasy world, off-worlded a few Empirelings and Brettionians (cough Valten) and virus bomb the planet! :)

but, no I haven't done a 40K vs Fantasy battle, tho I would like to.
Nids vs Skaven!

I reckon the nids would beat the Skaven, purely because they would just hav so many attacks!!! And deathspitters! could they cause carnage or what???

I play Tyranids and Genestealer Cult (Imperial Guard) in 40k...I'm more than confident that either of my two 40k armies could tear the heart out of my own skaven's advance...

but I don't hold that against the little guys :D

Genestealers don't need a rank bonus ;)


...neither do ordinance templates for that matter

Str 8 ap 3 ord to be exact. That would so own any army- by itself, espesialy as fantacy has no way of hurting it.


I stand corrected.

when We played We used the rules for each player in each of the turns. So 40 had no dispell dice but this evened out the power of 40k shooting.

But dont underestimate arrows. 3 turns of 12 archers shooting at a hammerhead imobilized it and destroyed a weapon.
