FOTF 0 Posted April 5, 2007 Yeah not Dawn of War which I have and a huge fan of but I am talking the table top game. People play that game? I thought they just painted the figures.... Seriously though....I sold my army of Space Marines about 4 years ago. I've always loved WH40K, but could never find anyone interested enough to play.

Caesar 305 Posted April 5, 2007 I used to play a lot, mostly with the 2nd edition rules when they had an insane number of weapons and equipment with insane capabilities; I think you could wipe out ten models in a turn with the assault cannon in 2nd ed. if you rolled the right dice, the tunder hammer would insta-kill a tank if it so much as hit it, vortex grenades created mini black holes on the table, etc. etc. I still have a massive army of Space Marines (probably over 5K points) but I haven't played in 4 years or so. I play Dawn of War now; no where NEAR as expensive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Zurawski 33 Posted April 5, 2007 (edited) When I was like six years-old, me and the neighbor kid would play GI Joe... We use to smack them around with a ballpeen hammer to simulate battle damage... We called it the "Warhammer"... (Then I got into Battletech and discovered the Warhammer assault mech... and bought the minature) Edited April 5, 2007 by Zurawski Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

firehawkordy 34 Posted April 7, 2007 Used to work part time at friends Game/Hobby shop a few years back. When I first saw the GW figures, being a "serious" modeler, I made a lot of jokes. His wife said that if I was so good I should paint a few. I did and got hooked into that hobby. When I realized that what I could do with the armor models and the figures well.... I've got an Imperial Guard army of that can go from a small platoon to a company of at least 2500 points. Based around an old Necromunda gang the I started off with. One Land Raider for a command track, I know but that'll teach the Astartes to leave the keys in the ignition. Eight Chimmera APCs Six Leman Russ MBT Three Griffion heavy mortars Three Basilisk SPG Two Salamander Scout tracks Three Gun trucks And enough Troops to scare the hell out of any opponent Just dont get me started on whats on my shelf that needs to be built yet. Heres a couple of shots of a Leman Russ for those who don't know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firehawkordy 34 Posted April 7, 2007 One more thing, if never seen Turn Signals On A Land Raider before try this link... http://tsoalr.com/view.php?date=2003-09-01 If you ever played WH40K you'll instantly get it. I marked the first page, you'll understand why. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I marked the first page, you'll understand why. That's funny. I got about 1100 points worth of Dark Angles/Ravenwing each. That includes Death Wing Termies and my Librarian in Termie armor. So far I have used the teleport into back lines of Orks and Tau and shredded my opponent mercilessly. The new rules for the Dark Angels makes them very hard to beat. The one time I did lose is because the guy using nids overwhelmed me. At great cost to his army. He won as I said but he wasn't to happy that he had about 2 squads left LOL.

Caesar 305 Posted April 7, 2007 Hah, Terminators are pretty tough to beat no matter what chapter uses 'em. Invulnerable save, heavy and/or rending weaponry that can move and fire, and all power weapons in close combat. Key drawback is that they're so costly to field.

grumpapotamus 0 Posted April 8, 2007 I remember Warhammer40k. Back in 1989-91 I was pretty into it. Grew up in a small town, which meant I had no one to play the game with.(though a few other people were into it) Spent alot of time painting miniatures. Still have them someplace, but sold the books when I went to college. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MAKO69 186 Posted August 4, 2008 (edited) I played in high school, Col., and when i first got out of the military. I may get back into it just because all the guys from the old neighborhood still do it. A local comic shop has some 2000 square feet of table tops w/ different terrains, fortreses. It was like 10 bucks a night got you a cup for the keg and all the pizza you could eat. You could bring your own miniatures.
