You probably have already seen this if your a 40k miniature gamer, but incase you haven't:

It lets you paint your very own space marine in any color you wish. You can also add wargear and things to the space marine. Very useful if your thinking about giving your Big Blue Smurfs of Doom (Yes, the ultramarines) a new paint job.

Damn ultramarines..get all the credit *grumble grumble*...:ninja:

I prefer my legion of the damned, but this is as close as I could get the standard UMs.

DUDE, Legion of the Damned is my favorite chapter. Almost no one ever talks about them, and so little is known about them. But they are the Badasses that rise above them all.

Yep, sucks that GW stopped producing their packs, here's one of my commanders (A little worse for wear, been about 6 years since I painted him)

Why Warhammer? It's so damn expensive and if there's something that turns off a girl it's small miniatures with chainswords.

I know two girls that play 40k at my local hobbyshop, you fail. One actually works there, AND can paint.

But more on topic, it's fairly cheap now. Mostly plastic instead of pewter.

True. My GF plays fantasy, she hates 40k.

They'd fit right in on these boards. Deviants of every kind it seems, mainly sexual deviants I'm guessing.

Never use them anymore though.

Nope, I want to play with my chaos army and my popcorn dammit!

I use to have a 2000 point Dark Angels army, 5 bikes, land speeder, terminators, fuck yeah!

Epic failure (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5bSjnFUa8k)

[sorros]

Just started playing myself, I used to play LOTR a few years ago, then moved and didn't remember where all my stuff had gotten to. A couple of months ago, found it all, started playing again, and I also now have something like a 1200 pt. Eldar army...

They're pretty good. Versatile and hit hard, I've wiped out whole squads of space marines (not necessarily entire tact squads of 10 guys, but weaker guys, like snipers, maybe grab a small combat squad of 5-6) with one bladestorm from Dire Avengers. Rarely, but still pretty epic :P

There is also an Eldar Guardian painter for craftworld choosing on GW's site.


Isn't it a bit ironic that the girls who play GW go WH Fantasy? Typically Dark Elves? The whole aim of the DEs was to draw in guys who liked looking at half naked women running around with swords, yet apparently, women started playing as them...strange. The few of them that play 40k roll Sisters of Battle or Eldar too.

[Kusghuul]

Used to have a 4-5k point High Elf Army, a 2000 point Blood Dragon army, and a 1-2k point Space Marine army with a fair few landspeeders (or whatever they're called). Played the Sons of Medusa Chapter, played them with iron hands rules from White Dwarf. Then i realised it was all too expensive and started drinking.

[Carnifex]

<--- Guess.

[88Chaz88]

<--- Guess.

err... pink necrons?

[BlackVolgan]

i like the imperial guard

[Agge]

I was a 40k player, played Tyranids, was a fantasy player befor that.... WAS.

I'd still play it if I'd just hang with some close friends and get drunk and al that good stuff, but the few of them who still play, (and got me into it in the first place) al play at a local nerd club.

And when I say nerdclub I mean it, sure they had al the terrain and stuff you could ever want, but half the people there pissed me of by just existing.

...

But I digress.

definitely a vagina repellent

hell the girl im living with can hardly tolerate me even visiting game sites, lucky im so well endowed so she puts up with it

[Nexus]

I had 3k points worth of space ork stuff. Unfortunatly this game isn't balenced well at all and they were wank.

Space marines shoot you from a distance, they blow up your transport and have better armor than you.

Space wolves are all that except they are also better at melee than you.

Tyranids out swarm you.

Necrons out survive you.

Orks were just bad, thats why I ebay'd my stuff.

[Maas]

I've been considering getting into this. My girlfriend is going back to school (Younger women 4tw), and I will have a good chunk of free time.


I have no artistic skills at all though. Will I be able to paint them without having them look like shit?



Edit: First "2009er" post I've seen.

Depends, if you pick Necron that shouldn't be a problem, just dip them in metal colours. Marines and Tau are easy to paint aswell.

A lot of people I played with just did basic blocking of colors.

It gives you that personalized touch, without requiring too much artisticness.

Dont get all defensive now that we know you are ruled by a woman. Have fun being a bitch boy. Seriously anyone who decides to sublimate their hobbies for a woman is a failure.

Black Templars are the way to go.

Who the fuck needs a gun when you can just charge the enemy line with chainswords.

I used to paint models like this when I was younger. Having a steady hand is more important than artistic ability. Mixing colors that don't look gay is more difficult than actually painting the figure, and making it look good.

Just to help out on the painting side, theres only one simple technique you need to know to make your models look reasonably good. It's really easy as well, it's called dry brushing.

What you do, is dip the end of your brush in paint (usually best if its a wide and stiff bristle) and then proceed to wipe nearly all of it off on a bit off tissue. This will leave a residue that you then flap past an area on a model that you want to highlight.

A basic use of dry brushing is paint a machine gun solid black then use a silvery paint to highlight it.

I didn't do this (http://www.nelefa.org/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/dwarfcannon.jpg) but it highlights the powah of drybrushing. It's also really fast and easy.

Lol, my other forum account was banned and I had a bad reputation on it so I repented my sins to the Emperor of Mankind and now I'm back, strength renewed with 60 Full Baneblade armored columns each with 11 barrels of molten hell, ready to go sir!

Honestly though, GW usually buffs marines first so if you like the storyline and never dying with good firepower + melee, go marines.

[Ace07]

Hmm i have been thinking about getting into Warhammer 40K. Years ago i used to play Mechwarrior clix and then quit when they took my favorite faction out of play (Steel Wolves, in case anyone knows what I'm talking about). Every once in a while i think about getting back into it but they made a lot of stuff in the game retarded now.

Can anyone point me in the direction of some information on War40k. Or a good/cheap way to get started and see if i like it.

And as for everyone bashing table top games. They're the next evolution of chess, and if you don't like chess its because you suck at it, so stfu.

[nick larking]

Fantasy > 40k
Witch hunters (Sisters of battle) > space marines



I still like to paint some warhammer miniatures so now and then but its freaking expensive :(
You also got that kind of link for different armys?

Depends what kind of person you are really, but theres a website with entire backstories on every race, quotes, pictures of 40k weapons, how they work, everything.

Read through the races and see which one you like best. As for getting started, I Don't know. I suppose you could order from ebay or Amazon for people who are selling off their 40k stuff, or you can just go buy it at a GamesWorkshop. Depending on where you live, one should be near or in a popular mall near you.

[Desperado[1G]]

I played as Imperial Guard

Nothing like wiping out entire squads of Berzerkers with Basilisks all the way across the field

God I loved that tank...

[Minotaur]

I liked looking at the models but I was always to lazy to actually paint them. I think I bought a box of some once though...probably around here somewhere.

[Nexus]

good/cheap way to get started and see if i like it.
Go to your local GW and say 'i'm interested in learning to play, where should I start, do you do an newbie open day?'

That's what I did, sort of. I found a load of models in our loft so I took them in to see what they were and if they were worth any thing and they invited me to the newbie day they used to do every sunday. That was good fun, they let me borrow a few units from a show army and have a ridiculous free for all with the other newbies on a massive table.

That was fun.

[Ace07]

I'm going to look into War40k, it sounds like a lot of fun.

Thanks to everyone who gave me information.

[Aragoni]

there's nothing better then having 5 players where everyone goes FFA. I remember when I borrowed a bunch of Catachan Jungle Fighters (Imperial Guard) by a friend and the other folks used their ordinary armies and everyone went FFA. When all the genestealers came and my Guards started shooting at them, and at the same time a friend came with his Eldar Avatar, slaughtering everything in its way. Good times.

[Haeso]

While I'd love to call him an idiot, all it takes to avoid an IP ban is a proxy. It's not even worth their time to go banning people/deleting their posts unless they're actively doing something wrong.

I'd recommend picking up a starter box. It comes with a basic rulebook, 2 tiny armies, some rulers and stuff like that. Basically it's the full game in a box. If you like it, pick out an army you want to play as, get their codex, and start collecting pieces.

I recommened attending a free newb day at a local GW before you buy anything, but it all hinges on how much someone thinks they'd be interested.
