For the Emporer

[bradley348]

So, who actually has played, or plays the Table Top of WH 40k?

i did, Blood Angels all the way.

Then i did Grey knights,

then i got bored cause it all costed a lot (and this was when i was a poorer bastard

 

[Dark Knifer]

I attempted it once, but failed to get into it due to it being expensive and I can't paint very well, but dawn of war is a great game that I very much enjoy.

 

[The Infinite]

Yep I play a Tyranid Army and my friend plays Chaos and we usually just battle each other since we have enough units for varied matches; though I haven't bothered getting any more and yeah Dawn of War has got more hours of fun than Tabletop.

 

[Aunel]

I still play
-blood angels
-'nids
-orks
-Lizardmen
-chaos

 

[Cpt_Oblivious]

Ah, good ol' Warhammer.
I used to play Tau in 40K but was mostly a Fantasy fan, I had lots of elves.

I still paint them occasionally for fun and relaxation, but not played in a couple of years.

 

[Katherine Kerensky]

I collected models, but stopped because of the cost.
So I bought all the DoW games instead.
and I recently purchased a Leman Russ

 

[DuplicateValue]

Not Warhammer, but I did paint the LOTR equivalent for a while.

 

[TimeLord]

I played Imperial Fists Space Marines first
then Deathwing Terminator army
then Eldar
then Imperial Guard

 

[Abedeus]

Emporer? You sure you play Warhammer, and not Wornhummer?

I contemplated it once, but the costs involved are sickening. They're toys, f'chrissakes. No matter what the marketing department wants you to think, you're playing with plastic toys.

Also this little problem

the people who played it regularly all smelled weird

.

And my last and only foray into Games Workshop in Dublin led to me being beset by an overenthusiastic salesman who wanted to sell me a starter army for 'only' 150euro.

I thoroughly enjoyed the PC games, though. And the mythos is quite cool.

 

[LogicNProportion]

I play Space Marines and Imperial Guard.

I've got a battle company and veteran company worth the of the 'tin men'.

and I just started on the Guard. ^^

 

[Master Kuja]

I want to start, but the price puts me off and I can't paint for shit.

I just play Dawn of War instead.

 

[Karlaxx]

I'd love a chance to play the tabletop, but I haven't met anybody that's within 3 hours of me to do so with. I'll content myself with Dark Crusade, I guess.

ALSO: If anyone wants to play one of the Dawn of War games, I have em all, and I'd love a chance to play them again. All my friends stopped playing it seems. Just PM me.

 

[wooty]

it was too expensive and the people who played it regularly all smelled weird.

Both those points are just pure fact, partially the reasons I stopped playing it too.

Also they take it waaaaaaay to seriously for a game that involves dice

These two. If i would to play Warhammer for some arbitrary reason, i'd make all the figurines myself and think up single most ridiculous backstory i can. But it'd be too much of a hassle, and no-one plays tabletop games in this country anyway. So i can probably say i won't play neither 40000 nor Fantasy Battle. Ever.

I was a member of my school's gaming with minitures club god damn those were the days. So everyone was into WH40K minitures but I never owned any they were so damn expensive, but the club was for any tabletop game including D&D (even though they just talked and drew pictures) I remember I would bring in historical hundered years war minitures and play against someone elses Templars or something with WH rules. Or we would have "War of the Universe" matches where we just pitted random mintures against eachother like Lord of the Rings VS historical Hundred Years War, Axis and Allies VS Warhammer.

The best part was when we got bored we would go over and bug the people playing D&D, those people, the club's impromtu philosophy if it had one would probaly be "You may be a geek for coming to this club, but you'll never be as big of a geek as those people over there playing D&D"

I went through most of the Warhammer types. In 40k I collected the Necrons and then the Imperial guard. I also collected the Orcs and Goblins in the Warhammer universe. But I mostly played the LOTR version though. I loved the Elves and later, the Haradrim (if thats how you spell it).
I quit because more video games that I wanted were coming out and I couldn't afford both. I sometimes miss playing massive 2v2 battles with my mates but at least I don't have to paint the models anymore!
