The Warhammer 40,000 discussion thread

After all, why not? I can think of three people off the top of my head (excluding myself) who play W40k (or a form thereof).
So let's start a Warhammer 40k discussion thread.
I'll start it off.
So Raven and Daev, have either of you gotten a chance to try the Last Stand mode in DoW2? I've gotten my Space Marine up to level 10, I'm having a lot of fun with it.
If anything can be said about DoW2, it's that it's got replay value out the wazoo.

You and two other people (either invited friends or random people from the interwebs) against wave after wave of... just about everything the game can throw at you. It's a lot of fun. Makes no sense whatsoever canonically (you can have a Mekboy, a Farseer and a Space Marine all working together to mow down Imperial Guardsmen) but still a ton of fun. And as you gain levels you unlock new wargear to use.
At level 10 on my Space Marine, I can choose from a bolter, a power axe, a plasma pistol, a bolter pistol, and a chainsword as well as two different sets of armor and a bunch of extra accessories that give me various abilities. I think next level I get my hammer.
Anybody here who plays the 40k RPG's of Fantasy Flight Games? I'm waiting for Deathwatch at the moment. A shame they never had an army list in the tabletop.:(
Yeah, the Mekboy can kick some major TRIBBLE from afar, but I like jumping into the fray and hacking my enemies to bits with my power axe way too much to focus on leveling up an Ork.
Once I get my Space Marine to 20, the next one I'll be working on is my Sorcerer of anyway.
See, I kept thinking this, too. This is all gonna be about Tabletop miniatures discussion and I was holding back a *very* good, yet semi-scathing commentary on the hobby that I decided not to use because, I understand the allure and was into the tabletop game for awhile in the past.
It's sometimes best to let folks have their fun.
When did I say you couldn't talk about the tabletop? :rolleyes:
I just started the thread with DoW2.
All implied, good sir.
The way you moved that salt shaker across your desk while you were typing this with a web cam in view spoke VOLUMES !! :eek:
I'm also sad that my ex still has MY table top SpaceHulk game (got for free at a con)
I want to paint miniatures....
*waaaa*
I miss the tabletop too, but I can never find anyone who will play with me. The moment I find a single other person I know who's even remotely interested in 40k, I will immediately march out to Something To Do and buy a Space Marine army, rulebooks, and paints right then and there.
But that'll never happen because nobody around here cares.
Yeah....I would need to get the updated codexs too....*sigh*
Codices.
The plural of "codex" is "codices."
Likes whatevers and stuffs
I have no one to play with, which is no problem because I'm so bad at painting that I would never get an army together that is bigger than a kill team or a celluloid-list.:D But I just love building and modifying the miniatures. I have to get the new Blood Angels sprues sometime to upgrade my Blood Angel honor guard Deathwatch brother, but first I have to make a few Space Wolves.
Yes, that was a plug. Yes, you should order from him. No, regardless of what it looks like, D&D isn't all he carries.
Man I woulld rather use a bed but I suppose tabletops are cool too....sorry you cant find no one to play with you, But for 40,000 Bucks you would think you would have some kind of luck with that...but too be honest I dont know if you really NEEED a whole army to paint Bro, I mean hell you planning on putting that up on youtube or something? By they way last I checked they dont make a rulebook for that kinda thing anyhow, However there might be a law against it in your state.
Officers have a lighter blue and gold piping instead of white.
probably to much of an FPS kiddy as a teenager.
My terrain making skills always makes the boys come running
Nobody else needs permission, why should you? Most guys here have inappropriate thoughts about the Orni-thingy.
The Ultramarines are pretty good. I field a pre-heresy Luna Wolves army and a post-heresy Imperial Fists army consisting of 4 companies. It sucks because I have no one around me that plays and the closest gaming place is in another country.
Hah, another Ultramarines player. I played Ultramarines 2nd Company and Black Templars, but in my heart I will always be an Ultramarine.
I tried Orks for a bit too, but found it harder to achieve the same combined arms tactics I used with Space Marines.
The words 'Orks' and 'Tactics' don't belong in the same sentence.
I've been doing some research on the game. Orks just seem to throw massive waves of Boyz at the opponent until the opponent stops breathing. One of the many reasons I'm going with the Orks.
Fun part about Orks is they don't break as long as their mob has at least twelve guys in it. And even then they can still mob up.
But no description of Orks is complete without covering the Waaaagh!. I like Wikipedia's description of the Waaaagh!:
