Its an awesome game, im tryin to learn how to paint <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>
I was wondering if anyone played, and what armies they had. I also got a 2000 pt. Vampire Counts (Strigoi) army for Warhammer Fantasy that is my pride and joy. I bought 7 of the 20 unit Zombie boxes, for a total of 140 zombies lurching across the board as a wave. Does jack, but looks awesome

I used to play 40k - had 2 Space Marine armies, Chaos Marines, Genestealer Cult, Imperial Guard, Squats (oooh), Orks (Evil Sunz, ladz&#33<img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>, and a boatload of Eldar.

Nowadays I play Fantasy, though... Bretonnians, Empire, Dark Elves, and Orks.

SmokeMasta · June 2002

CyonPro · June 2002

A year or so back I played Space Marines and Nurgle Chaos Marines.... I stopped for a while but have just recently picked it up again, and am playing the newly-released Necrons, which look really badass. Have yet to play more than one game with them, though.

ChromeAngel · June 2002

I used to play 40K, but I haven't been into in in years. At various times i've had at least 2000 points each of space marines, space orks, harlaquins, squats, tyranids, imperial gaurd and chaos space marines. I still have some minitures on display.

I was pretty good at modeling & painting this stuff, mapping is better (doesn't cost anything to scrap the lot and start again).

TychoCelchuuu · June 2002

WOOO WH40k! i dont play much more; i got in for the modelling and painting. i have dark eldar, a bit of tau, some space marines, and a bunch of fantasy. check this site out, it used to be THE BEST WH40k message board ever but that was about a year ago and eveything is really quiet now. i mod the dark eldar forum, stop by and take a look see.

I played 40k til they started jacking prices.

CyonPro · June 2002

I started mapping when GW started jacking prices. <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Cyon : i got a old mech for the necron that i don't use anymore <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Infamous · June 2002

The new Necrons are badass, and I played a couple games against them. They are wrong. Anything with a fast attack unit that has 4 WS, 6 ST, 3 Attacks and a 3+ Inv. save should be outlawd <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>. Did I mention that after you crack the damn thing it can get back up on 4+. Fast attack my ###, thats better than my elites.

CyonPro · June 2002

You talking about the Wraiths? They aren't nearly as good as they seem to be, granted you know what to throw at them. I use them primarily for ruining any particularly important tactical maneuvers the enemy decides to make. They work well in at least a group of 3, better in larger groups but that gets expensive ($ and points wise). Their speed and special abilities make them messy to deal with in CC.

Oh, and... a Necron mech? Is that one of those conversions people used to do back when there were only 5 different units?

Perhaps when I'm done painting them, if they're not too shiny, I will take a few pics of my army.

SmokeMasta · June 2002

just found 2 old necron snipers
and

Infamous · June 2002

Yea the Wraiths, and I love how the Necrons can bypass 1/2 of the rules that Gamesworkshop set up. Invulnerable saves, what are those? A giant skimming tank that kills everything in site that if you shoot down dosent crash and burn? Basic troops that are as good as Space Marines and get back up!?! Arrrrgh!

Vincent · June 2002

im just geting in to 40k and i dont have much of an army right now i think its like 300-400 pts right now of imperial guard tanks!and im still bying more i have my eye on some more tanks for an armouerd coloum ive even got the imperial armour book with has expanded vehical rules for the guard tanks! I have a friend, he and his bros play to they play tyrannde space marines and necron and anuther pla o mine plays eldar i havent seen the necrons in battle yet but im not looking forward to it

Cre8oR · June 2002

humm, i have mostly played fantasy untill now(doing an undead army right now), but 40k has cached my eye lately, i really wanna convert a whole dark angels fallen army, but the models are pretty fqin expensive!!!

oh btw, hi, new here :] (nubi, nubi)

TychoCelchuuu · June 2002

hullo, welcome to the board. and yah,the models are REAL expensive. its easier when you are only in it for the modelling because then you dont have to buy a whole army.

Killtoy · June 2002

Yeah, I have Plaguebearer to thank for introducing me to first Space Hulk and later Warhammer 40k. Cool stuff!

I've got my Marines, Imperial Guard and Eldar here still, but I've not played in years. I've still got the old Rogue Trader book I started playing with too. One day I'm going to write an RPG based off it...

Anyways... still got the mad painting skillz, and I paint from time to time. I'm actually eyeing over my bitz for the workings of a Natural Selection TSA trooper.

CyonPro · June 2002

I have an old box set of a 10-man tactical Space Marine squad, complete with multi-melta (a badass gun, for those who know what I'm talking about).

Maybe I'll paint 'em up in TSA colors sometime <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>.

Psyco45 · June 2002

I never played WH, but it sounds interesting.
Tried to go on warhammer.net, but I'm at the office and that page is blocked here. Cause it falls under the category of sex. (?<img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>??)
