Completly different in normal games you can't use any Apocoyplse models, Eg: You Can't Use The Banebalde/Land Raider Terminus in a normal battle. Also in Apoc, you use giant sized Templates to add to the fun.

Re: YOUR TACTICS
So it's sort of like an upsized version of 40k with a couple of new models, and you can use a baneblade in 40k because they sold one at forgeworld before apocalypse came out. It would just mean that it would take a lot of points to deploy.

The resin Forge World Banebalde has different rules to the new plastic one.
Eg: The Structure points (Structure points mean you have to blow the veichle up as many times as the structure points are) on the new plastic Baneblade is 3 whilst on the resin Forge World one it doesn't have any structure points.

Re: YOUR TACTICS
Okay here are some experiences i´ve made during my 7 Apocalypse games.
Formations:
The Officio Assassinorum Execution Force:
I´m using 4 of them, one of each.
The Evasor Assassines. I´m playing with four Evasors. The strategic asset Surgical Raid is really nasty. they´re good to pop transports like Rhinos, pikk-upps and Daemon princes.
The Callidus Assassines. Here again i´m playing with four of them. With A word in your ear... you can move four enemy units up to 6". Sometimes that´s enough to bring a BB in a bad position for one turn.
The Culexus Assassines. I´ve three of them. I´m using them to kill Daemon Princes and and Hive Tyrants alike.
The Vindicare Assassines. I´ve also three of them. They are good to take out special characters. I one of my last games I faces 10000 points of Orcs and 8000 points of Chaos. One of the Orc players used the Green Tide, a 100+ mega orc mob, and added a Big Mek with a force field and Mad Doc Grosnik to the Mob. First i took out Mad Doc and then the Big Mek. After both had been dead the mega mob was easy prey for my SW and Grey Knights.
Normally i deploy only my two Land Raider and the Vindicator Assassines. The rest of my GK are hold in reserve. You can´t have enough reserves in Apocalypse. During the Orc game i had 6000 points (GK and SW) in reserve. While my SW and the other allied players faced the enemy from the first turn on, i was able to reinforce our positions whereever it was necessary.
At the moment i´m working on a special GK Dreadnought formation like the SM Ancients Assault Force from the IA:Apocalypse book.

Re: YOUR TACTICS
3 basilisks and a baneblade have served me well and if they don't have upgrades they only cost a total of 800 points. So I still have plenty of points left.

Re: YOUR TACTICS
3 baz will put the fear of the emperor in to anyone , the Bannblade is basicly a big toy but can soke up a lot of damage and dish it out.
i actualy took down a renegade bannblade in one turn with a SM pread and a GK dread, i got lucky with 5 pens.
note hunter killer missles are worth in in apoclyps .

Re: YOUR TACTICS
Now, I'll admit, 3 Basilisks does sound like over-kill, but do you know how much fear you can put into people with 9 and a chimera?
I do, plus when you combine it with the sentinal recon group (10 sentinals), and the tank company (10 Leman Russ), people will actually leave the table in disgust until they are told to man up and fight.
Gods I love my IG army, esp for Apoc games.

Re: YOUR TACTICS
Having just used three if the four executiob forces, i can honestly say that the vindicare team can kill any special character, killed deceiver with a single turn of shootering from a 6 man team. the Callidus are useflu if you have the first turn, face their tanks away from you and bring them within range of as many AT weapons as possible, move some of their nasties behind cover to block thier line of sight for that first turn of shooting, cos if nothing else they can only shoot one weapon...
the evasor are nasty if you remember that each evasor gives you the strategic raids asset... not one for the detachment like i did...
i didn't use the calexus as my opponents were Necrons so don't know how they'll do.
also sounds like you might be against daemons... lots of - ignore invulnerable saves - will be good... use cover effectively, and DON'T use the published grey knight detachment... once they kill thier target your opponant gets to use em... not fun

Re: YOUR TACTICS
I've found a major help in apocalypse can by synergy: using combinations that were not designed for 40k to the maximum effect.
After a particularly great game, we outlawed the use of sanguinary priests on purifiers (that play was awesome)
Purifiers with 2 incinerators, hammer and 3 halberds in a Blood Angels (FAST) razorback make excellent counter-charge units, I run 6 of them
Support gunships of Blood Angels Predators (bolter/autocannon or annihilator loadout) are essential, as they can move 6" and still shoot everything. I have a techpriest behind each group of 3 to keep them running.
My ally one game had Coteaz in the Banehammer with a large purgation squad, imagine all of that pain on someone on the turn they drop
Dreadnoughts in drop pods work well to fall in tight formation next to enemy superheavies. Dropped 5 of them (the pods had homers) next to 3 Baneblades, killed one with a dred another with a thunder hammer storm shield terminator squad and the third with a knight terminator unit full of hammers...glorious.
Imperial Armor Apocalypse 2 has a dreadnought drop pod with assault ramps, which I plan on filling 5 with Blood Angels Death Company Dreds
The knight formation is less then useless. However, if you have 16 marine models and a drop pod, Shrike's Talons are amazing. The look on your opponents faces when they're not expecting the jammers is priceless and if you're clever they can come in at just the right time and not use a reserve slot in that turn.
Concerning assets, the disruptor beacon is ridiculous. It has screwed me once and my opponent once. Our group has reduced the range of it and made notes for how homers will influence it. With the small number of Knights, minefields tend to work well to thin enemy assaults and/or funnel them into choke points (Thermopylae style)

Re: YOUR TACTICS
since it is now so nice to have psykers and use the generic powers, I tend to use a Inquisitor + psyocculum and 3 servitor with plasmacannons
When you target that nice enemy psyker your unit is now BS 10 (due to the psyocculum special rule), and thus the bast will only scatter a max of 2 inch, but most of the time none at all.
It is nice to target an enemy psyker (unit) with 3 dead on blast S7 ap 2 hits

Yeah that's a good point especially if you play against a lot of psykers. The gets hot rule let's you reroll the gets hot roll at bs10 as well, so if you take prescience you can buff a separate unit with it and then a great part of your firepower is rerolling to hit.
