This year, the Thanksgiving Apocalypse match was sizable. Everyone was asked to bring their entire force, which amounted to about 50,000 points per side. The teams were Uncle Clayton (Tyranids), Oliver (Necrons), and I (Space Wolves and Imperial Knights) against Ian (Chaos), Codi (more Chaos), and Keagan (even more Chaos).

I supplemented this with only a couple of troops, a bunch of Terminators, a few fast attacks, and a bunch of characters including Leeman Russ and his Wulfen.
