Tyranids won battle for ogramh by 6%!!!

The norn emissary looks so good, as do all the new models.

The xenos were aeldari .

Also I agree all emperor's children deserve to be not alive.

Warhammer novels are pretty good but I've mostly been reading the well known series' such as eisenhorne, cain and of course, Night lords.

Also they use the armour to kill xenos which you may like as a salamanders fan.

I could probably answer most basic questions people have about warhammer. Probably. although I know nothing about the meta or good combos and such

There is a large group of factions to choose from and multiple game systems. I would suggest going to https://www.games-workshop.com/en-CA/Home?_requestid=4975223 and looking at warhammer 40,000 for sci-fi and warhammer age of sigmar for fantasy. (There are others, they don't matter)

There would then be a bar on the side (or a bar that says refine if you are on mobile) All the factions are shown on the side bar (or refine) under (for 40k) space marines, armies of the imperium, armies of chaos and xenos armies or (for aos) the 4 grand alliances.

It's similar to a tabletop rpg but you control armies made up of units with stats. There isn't much to do other than fighting and building/painting the miniatures but you could make lore and such for your armies. They don't require any type of dice other than the trusty d6 so you  shouldn't need more dice (probably).

New box set!!

I believe the tau should get a second faction for tau auxiliaries. This would be where the only tau you can bring are pathfinders, fire warriors, a leader unit or two and maybe stealth suits. It would then have all the current kroot units with maybe an extra one or two units. Then follow this with more races with 2-3 infantry some elite and a leader unit or two.

Astra millitarum: at least it isn't a hoard of tanks and instead artillery in the box. As an army I think the boxes for astra millitarum should have upgrade kits just with heads and smaller details so you could make other regiments.

Admec: from what I've heard the combat patrol is actually only around 300 points and is just the start collecting but with 1 mini swapped out. As an army admec are fine, although I've heard they are a complicated army to play.

Tau: I personally only really like Tau infantry and may have at least point made plans for an army of sheild walls and fire warriors. The combat patrol is decent though. You could make a decent kill team out of it and the mech is very good at murder. I will talk of my problem with the tau later.

Chaos marines: the patrol is decent I think. As a faction csm is decent but the specific legions are better. They almost made my 1st army be heretics tough so...

Space marine box 1: Ultramarines: should be raven guard seeing as it is focused on stealth.

Sisters of battle: some of the unit sizes are wrong and all the models are monopose. This is because it'd just a remake of an old 8th/7th edition army box. As a faction, they're fine.

Drukhari: at least the box is focused on the kabalites, the one part of the army I like. Very speed. Personally I hate the drukhari as they are the aeldari who caused slannesh's birth.

Vottan: once again I like infantry too much but this box is decent. It has speed, Melee and ranged so decent. I don't really have an opinion on the vottan though.

Daemons: only has khorne. It is basically just the khorne start collecting with 10 dogs and the blood throne (which can be built as a skull cannon and herald of khorne) is replaced with a herald of khorne. Skullcannon is better as it is the only khorne ranged unit. Each of the chaos gods should get their own combat patrol.

Grey knights: infantry good, baby carrier bad

Space marines 2: dark angels: decent box but not enough infantry. Now the lion is back they can have him lead them so, that's fairly cool.

Necrons: no necron warriors. It only has deathmarks and/or immortals (same kit). The croissant is decent and the overlord is cool. The infinite and the divine is a good book.

Space marines 3: blood angels: Why split the squads into 5

Genestealer cults: box looks decent. One of their boxes can be purchased to get the older cadian infantry and a heavy weapon.

Orks: I hate deffcoppters for 8th edition. Deff dread is better killer kan. Overall, painful.

Thousand sons: too many tzangors and no rubric marines. As a faction they are great and would be my next choice if I wasn't doing craftworlds.

Space marines 3: space wolfs: decent?

Craftworlds: good. The wraith lord is very good and can capture objectives. Bikes are fast. Craftworlds is a good faction. They left before slannesh.

death watch space marine 5: space marines but upgrade kit.

Death guard: my friend would like it for the poxwalker hoards but they are just bad and die easily.

Wrong, factually incorrect. Completely wrong. Not toys, miniatures. They aren't on rocks, they are on fake rocks.

What's your opinion on each of the combat patrols and the factions in general?

(I'll say mine after someone else does)

We also may be losing alot of ap from units but the potential for more modle releases and less op marines makes it tempting. The tyranid fan part of me is excited for the new models but the aeldari part is dreading the fact it will probably be another 15 years until they get an update XD.

Seriously though. Half of their important units (aspect warriors) have 15 year old lead minis and 4/9 of the named craftworld characters are probably 20 odd years old. When the next load of books release I hope that instead of doing the 1 xenos as like Vect or some squat they do Asurmen. Or Karandras.

10th Ed likely to be in summer aswell. I hope they also release old world this year as its the 40th anniversary of warhammer fantasy battles and warhammer as a whole.

Also I hope in 4 odd years when the next load of books in a narrative event occur the one xenos faction they decide to care about at the time is aeldari craftworlds. Half of their named characters are outdated models.

Ok so it's hard to explain but I probably can. You basically buy plastic miniatures and build them, paint then and then get to play the game. It plays simular to risk but with alot more aspects. You play on a board with your army of miniatures and your opponent's. Each unit had different rules using stats such as movement (in inches), wounds (how many hits they can take), weapon skill (The number you need to roll to hit enemies in melee), ballistic skill (The number you need to roll to hit enemies while shooting), strength, toughness (both are used to see if you wound/get wounded by enemies for their successful hits), leadership (to see how likely it is they run away). All weapons then have stats ontop of that. There are also video games and books.


TL;DR: A game where you get armies of plastic miniatures, build and paint them, then play with them.

Tacticus is great and free.

Technically but thats one aspect. The original warhammer is a tabletop game where you build and paint miniatures and then fight other players with them. There are also books and video games like the total war warhammer series or dawn of war.

So what do you know about warhammer?

But this is a place specifically for these conversations.

What if some people become warhammer fans? How would that make you feel when this statement becomes irrelevant?
