Hello all just wanted to start a thread for those that play Warhammer 40k. It can be anything from the tabletop game to the famed Dawn of War series RTS for the computer. Tell us what race you play as, have you created your own faction in one of the races? For those that play Dawn of War, what sort of strategies do you use and again what race do you play as the most.

I myself, on Dawn of War II: Retribution, love to play as the Warp Spider exarch hero online. This is mainly because I love the sense of being almost anywhere in the blink of an eye, that and the fact that it makes people look at the fog of war on the screen. I have created my own Space Marine chapter, the Angels of Armageddon, my own Eldar fleet known as the Sar-Neith Eldar, and my own Chaos faction known as the Heralds of the Eye. I also have a small contingent of actual Space Marine models, but it's nothing much really as it is quite expensive.

I play the tabletop game, though it's been a while since I actually played. I got lots and lots of Nurgle Chaos Space Marines. ^^

Hello fellow Battle Brothers! It is nice to see that someone finally made a Wh40k thread. I play Tabletop, but the interest has been waning recently as I focus on my cousin's necrons. I do have a very large Ork army, as "Dey ar da Biggest and da Strongest!" I play the original Dawn of War and expansions, although I am not too good. I have been waiting for the next Chaos Marines codex to come out for some time, as I have boxes upon boxes of unopened marines. The legion I will probably do is The Sons of Malice. They worship the minor chaos god Malal, who is the god of pure chaos. He is also a dragon like being..... wait. HE SOUNDS JUST LIKE DISCORD

I've played plenty of Dawn of War II/Chaos Rising/Retribution.  I generally choose Eldar, with an emphasis on combined arms fighting using Falcons to provide fire support and reinforce Guardians in the field while Fire Prisms or D-cannon teams take out hardened targets like enemy armor or emplacements.  I've been able to use similar tactics with Imperial Guard forces.

I've also played some Deathwatch RPG, though our DM got swallowed up by the warp rupture of IRL before we could complete the campaign.

Just by looking at your name Diomedes I knew you were a 40k player. I also want to get into the Deathwatch RPG just seems interesting to me.

I've got all the games, I'm a true fan to the gaming franchise, but I do not play the tabletop, I do have an entire Tau army but I use them as decoration, I like it more that way.

[MarchingHammers]

I also play Deatwatch and Dark Heresy. Fun systems with terrible terrible things happening to our characters.

I am currently painting a Soul Drinkers army for my space marines

[RashallFiremane]

I've read and own all of the Soul Drinkers books, very good read.

Is anyone up to play some DoW: SS or DC tonight? I'd love to get together and play with you guys!

[Expo]

I'm playing only first parts of WH40k on PC.

Finished DoW, WA all 4 races, DC all 7 races (Yes, this means I've conquered the planet 7 times, just to see 7 endings on my own personal account), SS 6 races, currently working on Necron, later Eldar and D.Eldar. Always on highest possible difficulties, including countless skirmishes.

As for fav race... Hard to say. I'd shoot: Space Marines, Tau Empire, Necrons.

Basicaly, fav game series.

[MarchingHammers]

[RashallFiremane]

darn that's the only DoW game I got

[ThunderBrony]

I have all the dawn of wars.... just find me on steam or windows live games

[Bronies For Life]

[Harv0kz]

Anyone want to join a game of DH someone I know irl is GMing? (Core rules, no expansions)

Anyways. I have all the DoWs, both 1 and 2, plus Space Marine, and a few figurines. I've also crossed ponies and wh40k before too.

And don't take this the wrong way... but I am affiliated with Chaos. My normal guise of a Tzeetch chaos sorcerer is to be expected.
