No.78
Let's get this board rolling.
If you play the tabletop, what's your favorite army and why.
I haven't really played enough to find a favorite, but I currently play Dark Angels. Not enough monies to start a second army while trying to build a fantasy army, but Tau looks fun.
I just took Dark Angels cus of Dark Vengeance, and Chaos Marines seem like dicks. But Dark Angels termies are always fun.
Except when fighting Eldar.
Fuck Eldar.
(pic related, met this guy at a con)
No.96
I don't play table top but Black Templars are my favorite. How do they play this edition?
No.97
>>78I caved and got the Dark Angels Starter set, but I haven't even painted them yet.
It's been a year. >_>
No.99
>>96Eh, I've played against em a couple times. Nothing special, they're really just normally space marines that look cool.
No.100
Orkz are my favourite. Played them a couple of times but last mastch I had 2 years ago. I like them because they are unpredictible with their rules and buckets of dice you roll. That makes game interesting for me even if I don't win.
No.114
sigh i want to get back into 40k but my wallet can't take another hit like that dark angels btw
No.117
Rockin out with the Imperial Fists, trying to get into Chaos Marines. Any thoughts on how I start this?
No.126
Necrons. They're OP as shit and it's the sci-fi alternative to having a badass undead army.
No.127
>>117I'd recommend getting a mixture of Chaos Space Marines and Daemons. That way, not only have you got some basic infantry, but you've also got some miniatures which can be used in fantasy if you chose to have a go at that or change your mind about playing 40k.
No.128
Imperial Guard are my favorites, Catachans to be more specific. There's just something about regular guys fighting for everything in this universe that's over their heads. Also I love cheesy 70's and 80's action/war movies like Aliens, Predator, Apocalypse Now, Platoon.
>TFW you can't be a United States Colonial Marine, fighting commies and aliens in space.
My GF's favorite army are her homebrew Dark Angel descendants (Anges Phantomatique)
I also collect Farsight Enclave Tau, and she has some Black Legion Chaos Marines.
We share an army of Tyranids that are painted to look like xenomorphs.
No.129
>>126Are they still OP? Goddamn. I haven't played against them since the end of 5th Ed. But my friend left a big box of them at my house (including 2 monoliths) before he stopped talking to me over a year and a half ago. Might go ahead and pick those up, since I have them lying around.
No.130
>>129A tad. They're getting better but they still have a long range and a lot of resurrection crap
No.131
>>130I don't consider long-range to be a problem. It's the fault of the players for not using enough LoS-blocking terrain. If you aren't covering your table with terrain, you're just playing wrong.
No.134
>>131I agree. I've just played with enough no-terrain plebeians to know that they have a problem with it.
No.137
>>127Plus, Malefic psychic powers heh.
No.733

Oh nice. Same here and its been about the same amount of time… there just so expensive. I'm saving up for the Assualt on Black Reach starter kit.
No.750
Getting back into Wh40k tabletop. Would an all infantry Space Marine army be any good? I'm thinking of fielding an old school formation of:
1 SM force commander.
2 Tactical Marine squads (missile launchers).
1 Devestator squad (anti vehicle focused).
1 Terminator squad with assault cannons.
Is this still viable or will they be wrecked in a normal TT game?
No.752
i only have the dark vengeance set, but im planning to build an IG army with some spess mahreens as allies
No.753
>>752
Nice, what Regiment/Chapter?
No.756
>>753
id like to have an steel legion regiment, but i know that it wont happen, so ill get normal cadians and paint them up in the colors of my country's army, still havent decided if ill use the colors of the military academy of just the combat uniform, maybe build some nice pickelhaubes
as for the space marines, im painting the dark angels as raptors (the chapter, not the chaos unit)
No.758

Probably get rekt, there's a lot more competitive and larger lists out there.
