Any Warhammer 40k ( tabletop) players on here

I'd be well up for this but I have a girlfriend and also never could quite fathom the mechanics of 40k. I liked the round where everbody got to shoot their guns.

That was the best bit, watching some plucky marine armed with an impossibly powerful weapon remove a big tank from play.

Necromunda always served me better. 6-10 figures slugging it out in gang warfare amongst shitty industrial ruins. It was over before teatime as well.
 
The train tickets about £100 too

:mad:

Although I think i'm convinced now to purchase an army. Even just for the craft element. I'd already considered buying flames of war minatures earlier this year. So what's the lowdown on all the different races? How do you go about finding out which is best for you? Or do people just go for aesthetics? :D
 
If you like elven featured creatures designed to look speedy then go with Eldar or Dark Eldar.(dark eldar gives you the added fetishy look- check out dark eldar wyches HOT)

If you want mech-looking supehumans in battlesuits go with marines or chaos marines

For the grunts with tanks go with Imperial Guard

Green Alien humanoids with comedy rules and looks? Orks

Vicious alien insectoid types- Tyrannids

Robots with weird looks- Necrons

Dunno what the point of these is: Tau

each faction is highly subfactioned and you can paint the colours appropriately. And buy faction specific metal models obvs. kerching.

I'm sure I've missed a few.
 
seriously people. i'm 32. i've finally got a life. stop trying to drag me down. actually i'm 33. fucking hell when did that happen?
If your 32/33 you should be getting to the point where you stop having a life??? (I'm 32)
I'm 32 too. I've got a new baby so life has gone out of window at the moment (in a good way :D)

You're all kids! I"m 38 and a fucking half :facepalm: i shouldn't be entertaining the idea of buying toys. But, like i could have afforded this when i was 13. Like i can now! Well, i can, but justifying it is a different matter. They look cool as fuck though. And i'm a permageek.
 
Ultramarine's FTW!

That wasn't what you said last time I looked. Something about genetics or something.

Don't mess about with advice when you're talking this amount of money for injection-moulded plastic that you're expected to decorate yourself (for more money). :D
 
36, geek and proud. If I didn't have a serious xbox gaming thing going on I reckon I'd be down GW on this weekend buying a ton of shit! :D

Still tempted though, might see about getting back in touch with a few friends who still play...:cool:

Genestealers? Used to love them too...used to play Orcs too (Evil Sunz) but Ultramarine's where always my biggest collection of models. Fuck, I had hundreds of full metal models...wouldn't have been worth a shed load now...
 
Space wolves
Sisters of battle
Grey knights
Chaos daemons
Blood angels...?


all subsets of Space Marine save the adeptus sorritas who were invented later to basically be crap versions of space marines but all the ecclesiarchal wing of the imperial structure was allowed

/kills self
 
i think if i was tempted to start playing i'd probably be grey knights. i like the minimalist colour scheme and the force weapons. it was always the painting i liked best. man, it's payday tomorrow..
 
I looked at space wolves and there's no way I'd have the painting skills to pull it off. Armour - fairly uniform paint work with some shadows worked in. Animal fur - really intricate and not for a beginner like me. So I think I'm settling on Chaos Marines. Although Blood Angels look pretty good too.
 
Space Marines are boring as fuck.

I always wanted Imperial Guard. I had Tau and then Demon Hunters. I moved onto fantasy and got Skaven then, got board of it all before I ever played a game with them.

Animal fur/hair is simply a matter of a black undercoat and some drybrushing, which is one of the simplest techniques to learn.
 
If I had to start again it would be orcs, chaos or dark elder. by far the coolest model swith moat scope for modding imo. space marines are well boring after a while.
 
The only point of having Space Marines was to design your own Chapter.

Mine were the Immortals (red with gold trim). Not that I ever got beyond a bit of white undercoat.
 
I LOVE the wh40k universe. I havent played a game of it since ..... 1995.

But I play the computer games which do A LOT to bring it all to life :)

38, LOL.

You are an even bigger cunt than suspected, fucking quality.
 
We don't all have the privilage of being twelve like you.

Yet I still dont threaten to beat up randomers online. Jesus christ you are nearly 40 and still behave like this angst ridden teenager.

Give up, you will never make it.
