Warhammer 40K & Fantasy

[S00N3R FR3AK]

Well I guess this would be a good forum to put this in. Looking to see who all plays the games and what armies yall collect. Have Necrons and just started a Ravenwing based force. Looking to add some Grey Knights for flavor. Also have a small dwarf army for fantasy.

[sw1tch..]

Used to play fantasy a long time ago + worked for the Games Workshop in Sydney... At that point I had a 10,000 point Wood Elf army and a 5,000 or so point Empire army.

Ah the good old days, wish I had time for that these days, but don't :(

Funnily enough just started saving to get a Chaos Space Marine set which i used to have back in the day but got rid of it due to a number of reasons.

I've always wanted to get into this game but never had the time or money. Still don't :(

I used to play 40K quite a bit - Space Marines and Imperial Guard (still have all my minis too), and just got into Fantasy before the shop I played at stopped holding game nights (started collecting Dwarfs).

I also played a bit of Battlefleet Gothic and Heavy Gear.

After that I got more into CCGs (Magic:TG, Star Wars, NetRunner) than I had been previously since they were cheaper, easier to carry around, and I could start a game anywhere.

Yeah the TCG are nice but I havn't found a place to really play it close to me. A Games-workshop though opened 5mins from my house so that makes it easy.

Just began this hobby 2 months ago. It get's expensive pretty fast !

Right now I have a Lizardmen army (1 batallion + 1 Saurus Warrior box). I just got a Chaos Warrior box from GW yesterday. I prefer painting Chaos Warriors right now but still, I think I'll collect both armies.

Yeah Chaos warriors are pretty cool looking. But just remember the more armies the more expensive lol.

I walk by an Games Workshop (place where they sell and play Warhammer40k-Stuff) every day....There are some serious nerds in there sometimes! :laugh:

I know that this would get me addicted so easily...;)

[obiwong]

always wanted to get into 40k

i have a Daemonhunter army but never really had time to play

it was pretty fun to paint it tho lol :laugh:

used to play a lot of TGCs as well

Magic, WoW, Star Wars, Overpower

my favourite table top game was Hero Clix (Y)(Y)

somewhere (at my parents i think) i have a pretty experienced Van Saar necromunda gang. do they still do necromunda?

i also used to have a lot of imperial guard, but not any more :(

I used to have one hell of a Space Marines army. Can't remember much but had terminators heavy guns, ball Preadtor, Dante and his crew, and Magnus Kelgar???

Used to love painting them, and creating bunkers etc to fight in, always though the imperial guards were a lame version of the Space marines, and always hated going up against the genestealers.

Haven't played it in years, but the cousins are starting to get to that age now, so may impart my wisdom/army on them.

I've just finished reading the Eisenhorn trilogy and am working my way through the Horus Heresy atm :)

Ah - I bought some Space Wolves about 2 months ago, unfortunately due to university I've not had time to paint anything ! Just got half a drop-pod done ! I am not really looking to play, just looking to paint them, always did like the look of the models, hopefully I can get some done soon !

When I get these done I might buy some Grey Knights, they're great !

Urzas Saga...best Magic the Gathering set ever. Best content, best illustrations, best storyline. These ne.w sets blow and on top of that they look like pokemon cards

imperial guard were a brilliant army to play with because you had to be so tactical and be really really smart to win

needless to say i rarely won :P

Anyone have any comments on the up coming Ultramarines film? Or the new 'Space Marine' game coming out on the consoles?

I've just finished Dawn of War 2: Chaos Rising.

It was great, really gripping. I got it pre-order however so paid a great deal for it...I kinda feel like the game was a little short for what I paid (still a great game though), unless I'm missing something?

In the original you could put off doing storyline missions for ages by doing the random missions which crop-up all over the place.

In this, you get a few random missions but they don't keep popping up. Once they are done you have to move onto the story mission.

I'm going to try they game on the hardest setting to see if that changes anything...also I might turn to Chaos this time round :D (That will most likely open up more missions).
