Warhammer 40k (the board game one)

[Myogoblin]

All!

I floated into game workshop today which was possibly the nerdiest thing i ever did to date to see about the whole game (since i love the PC stuff so much on 40k).

I wondered if anybody plays it or likes it? or any cool pointers? Yes I do like all aspects of the building, painting, playing and never done it before but sounds kinda relaxing and fun.

Cheers,

I was rather heavily into the fantasy variant...

And then sadly the friends I played with went through puberty and thought girls wouldn't find them attractive if they played Warhammer.

So my armies are sitting, boxed-up in a cupboard somewhere.

Never was heavily into the painting thing, but it was fun when I got around to it!

I used to really love 40k. Still do, but never find the time for it

And it can be very relaxing and fun, beats most any RTS going, for me at least.

I played Tyranids, originally with a slightly huge-monster weighted side which was really fun since back then it meant I had to play very carefully and make no mistakes, but was very hard to beat provided I did just that

Last time I played though I went with a melee swarm, which was a lot more simple fun, just throwing huge numbers of very fast, singularly weak units and mobbing enemies. Having to roll over a hundred dice in a single assault phase is somehow... satisfying

Also got right into the painting. Won a couple of store competitions doing it, netted some free stuff

Poke me on IRC if you want to chat about it, or vent, whatever.

I should still have some around, in the house. Dont know where.

Had the space orcs, which are fun. And Dark Templars space marines. But the hobby became a bit too expensive for me, and I dont really have time for it.

But I have the emporer! Which is sweet <3

i think some people might find it offensive that you call it a board game

anyway never realy played it but since Dawn of War came out i found it quite intersting ofcourse its nothing like the board game but still fun

[Daekesh]

"table-top game" then?
