Warhammer 40k

[rosac]

Heh, he must hate it when your space marine farts and all of his vehicles (which are held together with whipped cream) fall apart.

GO TEAM RETAR- Er... REBEL SPACE MARINES!

actually, catching the vehicles is often a problem, and their 5+ invunerable is pretty ridiculous. add in some icubi and witches, and the army is tough to beat :/

plus, my dad spams dark lances like theres no tommorow, which is annoying for a mechanised marine list. Still- heavy bolters are the way forward.

 

[tombman888]

Well, i like it. Got the Dawn of War games (the first ones) got a decent ork army for tabletop (expanded it off the Black Reach set, so i gots some space marines too)

But my favourite race has to Necrons. Just look at those bloody skin dripping metal soldiers shamble their way across the battlefield to flay you of your flesh and wear it as a suit. =D

DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA!

Ahh I wondered when you brutes would get here. Say...I know where you can find a good scrap if you're interested...there's this wonderful little planet called T'au where all the best warriors live...they also said that they were better than Orks and that you were all a bunch of pansies.

WAAAAAAAGH, THAT'S IT LADS, GIT IN' DA ROK. WE IZ GONNA STOMP DESE SHOOTY GIT'Z

WAAAAAAAGH! WE IS GONNA STOMP DA UNIVERSE FLAT! GREEN TIDE!

OI!! You lot ain't Givin' anyfin' a thump wifout da Mud'ole Stumpah Boyz over 'ere!!

WAAAAUUUGGGH!!!

Good, good the plot is coming together. Those Tau like to hide and runaway a lot so I suggest that you use your sneakiest of tactics.

*cackle* The destruction of the Tau was a lot easier then I thought it would be.

i play Grey Knights. i used to play imperial guard but when i looked at all the unpainted models i just wanted to cry.. so i went with the grey knights because they are awesome and not a whole lot of models to paint.

 

[Okysho]

Blood Angels custom (not really custom, just by name/colour scheme and special character names) called Phoenix Sabers.

Really into 40k. Love making up everything about a faction. have both SM and Blood Angels codex' Most people think they're broken.

Frankly, if using the wrong tactics, they don't even stand a chance against the guard. That's why I switched to Angels.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that is all.

Actually it isn't. I used to play regularly. Then i moved awaay from my family (my dad being my regular opponent), my game shop (where i played), and my friends (my other opponents). and i moved to a small bedroom community that sees comic books as satanism indoctrinators and stores that sell them and churchs to the unclean one. anyway thats why we're moving away soon (actually that isn't THE reason but its a reason). ANyone know any good game stores in Raleigh NC?

 

[The Unworthy Gentleman]

I would play it. However it's en expensive hobby and the closest place that I can think of that might have a place to play it would be Newcastle but I'm unsure about that. Maybe when I have a job and a nice amount of spare cash I'll try and get into it again.

 

[draken693]

I play Necrons and really wanna start playing the Dark Eldar.

 

[bdcjacko]

I used to play when I was a kid. Tried to kind get back into it, but they seem to change the rules every 4 years and I am just not going to waste $100 on a game before I even get to play it and find out I'm bored with it again.

 

[Raikov]

Hello there fellow Tau player! The greater Good will assimilate the entire galaxy with it's awesomeness!

Also, I would love to actually meet a decent Tyranid player soon...

 

[mattaui]

Salamanders! (Not that there seem to be the old rules for them anymore.)

I just wish I could find some decent shoulder pads for them, and they've not seen battle for a good decade at this point, back when I had the time to play in Rouge Trader tournaments in Lubbock, TX.

I like the Tyranids, too, but I never did get an army of them together that I really enjoyed. Maybe I'll try them again sometime.

 

[ZtH]

I play the tryanids on few occasions I play. It's always makes me happy when someone see's the mound of dice I'm rolling for my hormagaunt swarm and just gapes in horror. Also I like it when I realize that with two thirds of my forces dead before they could shoot back, I'm winning because my beasts are in assault range.

 

[Grey_Focks]

I played back when I still served, and was stationed in Japan. Apparently half of my platoon was into 40K, so I figured I might as well be, too. I ended up making two armies, one being the Tau, who I just loved for their pure firepower, and second being Dark Eldar....because no one else was, and I'd thought I could give em a go. They were actually pretty fun, and the fact that they were essentially the Eldar equivalent of Chaos Space Marines just made me love them a little more.

 

[Gildan Bladeborn]

Can't say that I do - for all that I'm a massive Warhammer 40,000 fan, I'm a lore junkie, not a hobbyist. So I tend to constrain myself to collecting/reading all the novels the Black Library puts out, the various 40K games Relic has released, and the various 40K RPG supplements that Fantasy Flight Games puts out.

 

[Therumancer]

I like the universe, but also don't play the tabletop game. I tried Warhammer Fantasy (have a bunch of old stuff for it gathering dust) but never really got into it, and while the Warhammer 40k universe is interesting (and I guess it's a more successful game) the TT version just never appealed to me for some reason.

I don't think I have a favorite faction really. The Tau strike me as not fitting in too well on a lot of levels, The Space Marines are cool but overdone, The Imperial Guard is pretty cool, but I don't think it's really viable in a skirmish-level based game. The Sisters Of Battle are neat, but don't seem to have ever been developed paticularly well, and they seem kind of redundant with Space Marines on a lot of levels given the whole focus on fanaticism.

Honestly, I think the 40k universe works better for telling stories on a smaller scale. I enjoyed the books about the Inquisition like "The Eisenhorn Triology" and the "Ravenor" series, and some of the "Necromunda" novels were okay. "Gaunt's Ghosts" was pretty solid overall as well, but had it's ups and downs. I could mention others, but oddly I think it's a far better series of books (at least when I read more) than a TT game. Of course that's probably heresy to most people given where it started.

 

[AnkaraTheFallen]

Proud Tyranids player here.
Feels great to swarm the board with hundreds of little gaunts.
Too bad the recent codex's have lowered their effectiveness

 

[Zero-Vash]

Haven't played recently. It was fun more because of who I played with. Mainly because they hated Necrons ;-)

 

[GodofCider]

Anyone here play 40k?

I do and as youve probably guessed from my profile picture I play tau because I love the battle suits and they are absolutely great for trolling with

Also I despise spacemarines

I favor the Tau as well, although an Eldar wraith army is just so tempting... My Shas'O says I should talk to a counselor about that.

 

[LogicNProportion]

Got a huge, ongoing campaign this weekend and a ticket to Games Day in my wallet!

My friends and I have just about every novel and codex you can find. (I admit, some of them are pdf files...)

I myself have played Space Marines, Chaos, Imperial Guard (Pirates!), and Daemon Hunters.

It's probably my favorite hobby of all time...
