Warhammer 40k

[SpectralAnomaly]

I'm a pretty big fan, I just like the whole darkness of the universe, and the fact that there's such a talented bunch of shamelessly money-grabbing Brits behind it all.

I started with Eldar, but I've now got Imperial Guard, Space Marines and a bunch or Orks as well. I much prefer collecting and painting the models over playing games with them.

Love all the books, one of my friends at work has almost every Black Library book ever published so I have a steady stream of them to read. Alos got all the Dawn of Wars. Have to say I prefer the first one over the second game.

Does anyone know anything about a rumoured Sisters Of Battle release at the end of this year/early next year?

I've played since the early 90s. Space Marines, Tau, Imperial Guard, Battle Sisters... Would be fun to start collecting Orks at some point, or maybe Necrons for the beardiness.

Also play Empire in Fantasy.

EDIT: Oh, and I've played the computer games, particularly Chaos Gate. And I read the books. And I play the Fantasy Flight Games tabletop RPGs, of which I'm in the middle of a Deathwatch game now.

Oh, and my wife plays Crimson Fists and is steadily ploughing through the Horus Heresy books. And the Soul Drinkers books. And, in fact, any Black Library 40K books she can find.

Read the books so far....cant really play if nobody else around is interested, and living in the middle of nowhere doesn't help either.....

Im kind of a lore junkie as well, as soon as i find a game or something interesting i have to read the books assosciated....diablo, starcraft, 40k....

I would play if I could friggin afford it but unfortunately food comes before fire warriors

 

[Phoenixlight]

I love Daemon Hunters and also despise Lame Marines.

 

[hardband]

I've literally just started playing as the tau! LOL at coincidences. I also hate space marines, just sooooooooooooooooooooo generic!

40k?

*Ahem*

[HEADING=1]WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH![/HEADING]

Yes I do play it, why do you ask?

OT: I play da Orkz because green is best. And it's fun to get 4 attacks from a single model on a charge from a unit of 6-point models that usually come in groups of 20 (if not more).

I'm actually thinking about checking out the Dark Eldar though, their new models intrigue me.

That being said, I too am generally tired of fighting SPESS MEHREENS!, with their METAL BAWKS and multiple, simuln-tehneous, and devastating defensive deep strikes, especially the Smurfs. When you go to a local tournament and most of the armies there are some version of them, they get pretty annoying with their fancy 3+ saves.

Chaos Space Marines are pretty cool though. Especially Alpha Legion. Because we are all Alpharius.

Also I despise spacemarines

Filthy xenos...

I recently picked up the Space Wolves battleforce and I'm slowly building them when I get spare time. Then comes the hard part: painting them well with as little experience as I have in that area. Though I don't really know anyone nearby that plays and I don't have the time to search any players out. It'll be nice to have them though. They'll probably guard my desk at work until I find a worthy opponent.

I've also read the The Founding, the Ultramarines Omnibus, and I'm starting into Eisenhorn now. The lore is my favorite part. The mix of dystopic sci-fi with historic influences and fantasy elements is an odd combination at first, but it really grows on you. I'd suggest anyone interested to try out Dawn of War 2 to get a taste, then maybe grab a book or two to get a deeper experience. The game itself is much more interesting when you understand the underlying lore. My first exposure to the game was through a friend who intimately described the frightening effects of Tyranid weapons as he played, which made the abstraction of dice rolling and turns a lot more exciting.

Love it, even though I haven't had a chance to play tabletop for a long while. Got all the DOWs bar Retribution, killed a Greater Daemon in Fire Warrior and am feverishly waiting for Space Marine to be released.

352nd Krieg Static Infantry regiment. For the God-Emperor!

Found an image that perfectly describes life as an Ork.

Mortarian 101st Airborne Cavalry reporting in! Or they will be as soon as I build the damn army.

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

One word, a word you will forever fear.
