Hello, I play warhammer 40k

Post Reply New Topic

Hi, I play Warhammer 40k. My army consists of a Imperial Guard Primary detachment, a Sisters of Battle allied detachment, and a Inquisition Detachment. Just want to talk, if anyone is interested

So uh...you saving your pennies for Next Week then? X3

I don't get the joke.

I wasn't joking, but I'm not sure how much of the rumor mill I can talk about on here - Wrong Planet's policies on leaks and copyrights and all.

I still don't understand whats going on.

Ok, let me start over again.
Hi, I play Warhammer 40k with a Imperial Guard primary detachment, a allied detachment, and a inquisiton detachment. I want to try to play a Imperial knights detachment, and hope there will be a Rebel grots codex. Does anyone else play Warhammer 40k, and want to talk about Warhammer 40k?

I don't play 40k myself, but I have played it. I've also played Battlefleet Gothic which is the space game set in the same universe I think.

I grew up playing Battletech which resolves each players turn phases at the same time to account for people doing things at the same time. Playing 40k and BG, really threw me for the turn order used.

I wouldn't mind playing it, but I have no one local to play it with. No friends or acquaintances. There is an actual Games Workshop store and one other game store that caters to the GW gamers. But I probably won't ever go unless I have a friend to show me the ropes.

I've acquired a few 40k figures on the cheap to be used as miniatures. I really like the aesthetics of the Tau.

Battlefleet gothic is.
I never played any of GWs specialist games. I am interested in playing Gorkamorka, but now one plays it anymore. Oh well, kind of saddens me how GW just abandoned the Specielist games division.
Theres a GW store near my town, but near means going long distance. There is a comic store that has Warhammer 40k games real close to me.
As for models, I have a few. Usually, I use cardboard squeres to represent models until I can get the model. I like the guard models. There usint are simple. A tank is a tank, a APC looks like a APC, ect. I also like how the Ork models look, but that is more of comical effect.

You don't happen to live in Michigan do you, because the game store, I'm referring to is Gamer's Gauntlet, and all they sell is Comics, MTG, Warhammer, and a few family board games. The GW is somewhere up in Rochester.

Before I moved to Michigan, I was in a gaming group where everyone of them except me played Warhammer 40k. I was always short on money in college so I couldn't just spend it all on the pieces to play. Now with a somewhat wellpaying job, I can afford it, but I feel I'm in over my head for figuring out. I'd probably buy it and be to afraid to go out and play.

I heard that the factions in 40k are roughly based on those from Fantasy to make anyone transitioning from one to another easier? Is this actually true? Not that I'm familiar with Fantasy, but I feel that if this is a thing, that's pretty cool for a gaming company to do.

One of my hobbies is painting miniatures, and I have, somewhere around 300 miniatures. I've only painted a few of them, but due to space constraints in my apartment, I've given it up until I get more space. There are several of the larger 40k and Fantasy vehicles robots and monsters I want to get to paint, and just place on my shelf. One of the products I love from Games Workshop are the base plates that they have for both 40k and fantasy. I use them with other figures I work on. The amount of bases you get for the price is well worth it. I wish I could find non-magnetic hex bases as inexpensive as GW's bases, but I can only find magnetic ones or the ones Ironwind makes for Battletech.

I play 40k from time to time with a small group of friends, though we are more into Fantasy. I have a decent sized Tyranid army as well as a small Dark Angel Ravenwing force. Used to play a lot in the early 2000s, but now I am mostly focused on painting and getting the odd game in when I can.

I do not, I live in the deep south, close to Baton Rouge.
For the connections, I do not know. I know with the Orks and Choas Demons the armies are very similar. SOme of the armies (like Empire and many of the Imperial armies) are very similar in design, but not in usage.
Don't worry. Your best bet is to find a group, and ask to have a small learning match. I have also learned that GW can teach you at their stores, but I do not know if that is true. Most players are nice enough to teach new player, or play with people who use a army different.
Many players like to see a new face. LEts face it, its get boring to play against Space marines and there different flavors. As for the units, don't worry, pick a unit you might like, and go with it.

I also like painting the miniatures. I don't have as many, but I understand what you mean
I think Priveteer press makes cheap bases, but I am not sure.

Tyranids have been a interesting force. Playing as Guard, it makes me think of Starship troopers. I have a respect for Tyranids, primarily because of howmany healthpoints their giant forms have.

My favorite faction is the Orks, I occasionally play Space Marines and Necrons as well.
LadyWoofWoof's favorite are the Dark Eldar, she greatly enjoys playing with the Chaos Space Marines as well.

I don't use vassel. I am sure someone on this thread does.
Speaking of orks, you know the grot tanks?

Haven't heard of those, no. Most recent Ork units I know are the Bomma variations (Dakkajet, Burna-bomma, Blitza-bomma).

Grot tanks are on forgeworld. There basically little tiny tanks that grots use.
