I've also been around for some two weeks only before the new board started. I have been dealing with 40K and Eldar for several years, but never found the time/money/whatever ;) to build up an army until recently. I'm currently painting lots of minis with the advice of an experienced painter and WH:FB player, who has now also started Tau. (And I do need his advice as I'm far from good at painting...)

>>>>>I first came to EO about 2 months b4 it went down for a while.  I must say, i am extremely proud to have been around to see it grow the way it has with the re-launching, very encouraging.  Our community has grown a lot in the last 2 months, and its wonderfull to see.
Title: Re:newbies
Post by: Purple Raine on January 28, 2002, 01:54:44 AM
Well then,

Welcome to you all!  Myself, I haven't been around that long... started chatting on the EO EZboards I think sometime last summer ... so, there are actually quite a few users who've been around longer than I have (Falcorian is a good example).  

I'm glad to see that the community is growing.  It's unsettling to see that there are only 260 members on our new board, but then again, it's only been up a week or so.  The GOOD part, is that 90+% of these users are return users and regulars, which is what really builds a community.  

So, with luck, time, and (most importantly) your presence, we will be the founders of a strong community!  <sounds cheesy, I know, but it's true!>

Hopefully, with the relaunch, our community will attract even more members!

I'm also new to the game(I flirted with it for 2 months in '98 but I picked necrons when they first came out and just got really discouraged when I got stomped by any and everyone that I played, but I have recently come across the funds -just back from a deployment to camp rhino, hazardous duty pay is a beautiful thing, and I am on a tdy to sendai in mainland japan right now, so when the marines are all running to tokyo (I saw Planet of the Drums@the LiquidRoom -just incredible, I'll do a writeup in off topic in a minute)and spending all of their travel pay I'm chillin spendin all my money on miniatures through the mail, btw where are some good places online to order minis?. I'm also new to the board(like about a month now) and the eldar(a little less than a month -this board persuaded me to play them) All I can say about it is that the people on it are extremely friendly (except for whoever smited me :'(,but I digress) and Helpful, the site itself is extremely well done, everything is top notch. congrats to everyone involved here, the editors/moderators/regular posters, this place is great!!! and, as always mad respect to the party people and all of the kids running around on this board, you guys rock. late

I'm a Rogue Trader era vet who just got back into it again during Xmas. The community for all wargaming is so good now with the exsistence of the internet, back in the old days it was like "Warhammer? Whats that?" And honestly, Eldar Online has my vote for the best army-related site hands down, being an eldar junkie aside...
Title: Re:newbies
Post by: Cortex_Killer on February 22, 2002, 06:55:50 AM
I first found Eldar Online back in March (2001) when I was holding a temp office job which had net access.  Needless to say I didn't do much work cause I was checking the site out too much.  Didn't register cause EZ board for some reason would never let me create  an account.

When new board appeared I felt obliged to register (all the good work of the people involved in the site and message board).

Been collecting for about four years now but I'm luck as I've got plenty of friends who have Rouge Trader stuff and various sources of fluff, like UK White Dwarf 127 (or something like that when eldar got first proper release in 1.5ed).

I've been playing for too long (I too can remember when 40K was but a single book) but I only signed up here TODAY.

I bought my son a box of Guardians and Eldrad for Xmas, cos he was really interested. But he's bored with them already, and they haven't been out of the box for six weeks.

I'm trying again tonight.

Any tips on how to get my wife to play would also be appreciated.

Title: Re:newbies
Post by: StrangeAeons on February 23, 2002, 11:24:08 AM
The game is so much more extensive than it ever was in the Primordial Ooze time of Rogue Trader. I hang out with all these monster 5-10 year veteran power players who are all great guys but kind of spoil the fun by making it all about "the best army" and finding all the loopholes in the rules...something you can only do after you've been playing for a decade straight.

Seems Im also the only Eldar player at the store I discovered, so i now have a reputation to uphold. At Griffon games in Greenfield MA, theres 3 Space Wolf cheesegods, 3 Chaos/Noise marine guys (1 with the Cult Noise Terminators, argh, runny brie-style...) a Tyranid kid and 2 Dark Eldar players, grrrr. 1 of the SW guys has a nice Harlequin army he's going to ally with my BielTan and go after some of these Dark Eldar.

I cannot believe the Dark Eldar rules, theyre sooooooo over the top. Makes me wanna play new Chaos! Or bust out the 4 squads of Dark Reapers and 3 Wraithlords!

I love the BielTan but the only figures I like from the new line are the Banshees, so if anyone has unpainted Aspects they need to pass on, let me know.

Greetings to the reader of this article,

I've been playing space marines for about eight months now and still every time those Tyranids kill me, really frustrating. I've only discovered this site the day before yesterday and it has already proven useful to me because I have found a lot information about eldar, this very useful to me because in july/august I'm, going to start with an eldar army(I hope that do have the ability to deal with Tyranids).

greetings from messink

Im... kinda a newbie... not really new to the boards but to 40K... though not so much as you think... I rember back in the days of second eddition.. though I didnt knwo bout warhammer back then. I went into a hobby store my dad was getting some d&d stuff or something. and then I saw the wall... IT was COVERED in WHF and WH40K stuff they had a table on which a battle was taking place... though I didnt care. I found my self looking into a display case... looking at these smoth vhicals on their clear stands. they were so sleek... 5 minutes later I was walking out of the store viper box in hand. and thats where it started... though it happened very slowly. once I got home I put the thing to geather. gave it a crappy paint job and stuck it in my room. I showed it to my friends, they didnt care much, and for a long time it was forgotten. then one day as I was cleaning out my room. I found it. knocked the little sucker right off the shelf and onto my foot. at which point I again fell in love... with that smooth viper... oh yeah... anyway after putting on a half desent coat of paint I set off to find the box it came in. after a bit of searching in the basement I found the box with a small unused slip of paper in side that had some thing called
"instructions" anyway it also had old 2nd eddition rulz for the viper. so going to a hobby store (not the one that I first got the viper from) I found out what this game was... I was once again side tracked... I found the orcs for Warhammer... after a year of collecting (but never playing) those orcs I again stumbled on the viper. then I went to some hobby store bought some gaurdians and the eldar rule book. later I got a farseer warp spiders and so forth... and thats how I got into 40K

I suggest you go to the bath room run around, fart or watever  you need to do cuz im not finished yet
of corse you could just stop reading (and you probably already have) but
SHAME ON YOU
I read all of YOUR posts
anyway,
I, oneday brought the BBB to school (I found a kid who played DE but didnt have the rule book and wanted to see) and another friend of mine saw the cover. he is into the 1920s for some reason. and liked the look of the Black Templar on the cover. I told him how much they cost. and he said "Im just looking"
"Yeah right"

I thought and now he collects Dark Angles...
I know 2 more kids who are "Just Looking"
we might have new 40K friends soon
;)   ;)
I will, now finaly shut up... I know youve wanted it for a
LLLLLLLOOOOOOOOONNNNNGGGGGGG

Time so I go now yes and dont touch my ham!
P.S. You will probably never get your wife into 40k... it's just one of those things...

i'm fairly new.  got interested in the game i think around 5 years ago when i was in h.s., but didn't have enough money to start collecting it.  did pick up a couple of warlocks and a 2nd ed codex back then.  i finally got back into it a little over a year ago and have been playing in a local league since september.  i immediately fell in love with the eldar as i flipped through my friend's codex imperialis.  

oh yeah, i've been posting here for a few weeks.  but i stopped by and read some articles and such off and on since last year.  the site really is the best.

I first got into 40k about 2 years ago when my friend showed me his Chaos Codex. I saw the pics of Marines in the back and like them instantly.

So the following weekend I went into my local GW store and bought a Dark Angels Codex, a Tactical Squad and  a Captain, with a few paints to boot. I stayd up most of the night assembling/painting the models, with about 5 colours.

The time came when I had about 3000 pts. of Dark Angels and needed a change. So I had a dabble in Catachans, which after a few losses I decided sucked. I then went into Orks which I found highly amusing.

But I eventually gave in. All the time I had been into 40k I have liked the sleek lok of the Eldar. So I decided to collect them. My Orks had been sitting alone for a while now. Now I collect Alaitoc, from about 6 mounths ago. I went for alaitoc as I liked the Rangers.

I oyl registered today for EO Message Boards but I have been surfing around it for a while.

but i´m only knew to eldaronline, not to my eldar;)...
i´m playing my alaitoc eldar since 1996 and my army has grown to a nice size of about 8000 points with highlights such as two forgeworld serpents and a phoenix fighter... (yeah, i AM proud of them;)..)
i also took part in the last two golden demon contest here in germany and was able to win a golden demon in 2000 - of course with an eldar;)!!

i hope i will be able to keep an eye on eldaronline for i´m rather "at home" at www.forum.gw-fanworld.de...

but it´s nice to be in accompaniment of brothers and sisters here;)...

Hail and well met fellow Lords

I have been playing Warhammer 40K for 19 months and am just about to go to my second Grand Tournament. I have fought many battles. Mainly against Marine Players. My main army is my Dark Edar -Kabal Darkstorm_ whom i will be taking to the GT this year. Last year as i was new to the game although my main army was Dark Eldar. I built an Eldar army The Ilianesh Ra (Children of Ra). I thought with them being on the whole i would fair better as at that time i was a little inexperienced and Dark Eldar take a little while to master. I have started a gaming club over the last year with some friends and we now have about 50 members.

Anybody else going to this years Grand Tournament?

Maybe we could meet up and have a few beers. I will be travelling with three Ultramarine, one Space Wolf and one Slaanesh Marine player

 Hi there.

 I'm brand new to this place and I have so many questions to ask, It's not even funny.
I don't know very much about eldar so I'll need alot
of help from you guys.(i know what you're all thinking,
Oh great, another damn newbie) ::).

I really like the eldar race and their background is very
interesting and flavorful. I game with space wolves and
I would like to start up a second army and since I've
always liked the eldar, they get the nod.
All I need to do now is research my white dwarf collection and choose which craftworld my eldar will be from.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Try the Craftwold: Eldar.

Yeah, the vanilla force.

Gives you a good concept of which Craftworld would you want to play with and, if you are aquainted with friendly players, I'm certain they will allow you to play a few games without making too much of a fuss of your unpainted figures.

Since essentially, you want your figures to look like your Craftworld, dont you? ;)

hey i just started tyranids and i was reading the codex and it says for certain guys such as the hive tyrant that i must choose up to two bio weapons from the following list at the points cost indicated. i dont understand the points thing does that mean i can only choose two that add up to less than 90?(which is the points per model)
THNX FOR THE HELP!!!!

kinda useless for me to post this but I'm something of a newbie compared to the long time vets and I was one of the first few dozen to find the old EO board (under the alias Epsilon Genesis).  I've been painting  and playing since 3rd ed came out. I had an enormous force of vanilla eldar which I broke down into smaller alaitoc, ulthwe, and iyanden forces about a year ago, still repainting it all slowly.

Got my precious 3rd Bug army which eats anything it sees, dead or alive, screaming or silent.

Have a joint force of each extreme of SM, Ravenwing and Salamanders which is mostly for looks with my be-atchin converted chaplain (https://www.40konline.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fmembers.shaw.ca%2Friwamoto%2Fimages%2FArtwork%2FWarhammer%2FChaplain.jpg&hash=61336342ed3ca8bf4952d108ea9b01b98cc3edd6)
and the force is currently on hold until i finish the tedious process of repainting my eldar stuff.  8)

Well, I'm new as well... ;)

It's been a while since I've played 40k, my last WD being something like 142.  All these new editions just confuse me! ::)  However, when I did play it was, of course, Eldar.  <sigh> Oh, those were the days when the new Eldar rules had just come out and you could combine a D-cannon on an anti-grav platform with a Warlock with - erm, forget the power name - who not only doubled the range but meant an automatic hit!  I think that I not only wiped the floor of the Imperium, but also polished it as well...  :P

Now I'm more into the RPG side of things.  System of choice is GURPS, for no other reason than I change genre rapidly and prefer a system that can cope with this with minimum of effort.  Hence, I'm slowly converting the 40k universe into GURPS statistics... Links to the left, somewhere...

I sighned up a day ago, because I wanted to post some were other than the GW forums (as they have degraded in quality soooo much). I haven't been playing with my DE army for a couple of years and this has sort of inspired me to go back to my DE personality instead of just being a dark angel.

Well I have been to this site for about a year and a half or longer?? but I have only started posting today, and I have been playing 40k since Rogue Trader was out and I still have it somwhere. My first army was Harlequins from the original box set then I started to play Eldar then the original Space Wolve army I think in white dwarf 156-158? But I am now back with the Eldar and waiting to the Harlequins get a army together again, excluding the one published in the Journal...

Welcome to the community.

Two things ::

First ::  Who cares about the # of posts someone has?

Second :: Off Topic posts do not count towards the total amount of posts... it was a recent change I made... but regardless of that, the # of posts one has does not denote anything.

Anyway i've been around the boards for a month, and frequent the DE board, but most often the Off-Topic board. Occasionally I'll browse the Eldar board to see what the scum are saying about us these days. By the way make a Harlequin board so that DE players don't have to deal with their posts- it's annoying to clutter them onto one board. But one way or the other I'll manage to get back to the boards- by the way, has UlthweMaster posted recently?

Actually my GF doesn't like being called a lady - too formal.

By the way, I never really introduced myself, or inducted myself into EO, I just jumped in and started posting. I guess I should just say G'Day. After all, I have been here a while now.

I've played eldar since 2nd ed., but am starting an IG army with mixedinf and DWVets. They are the 14th Arnem Rangers, and all are being converted to wear Akubras.

I used to be a good painter, but I gave up somewhere along the line.

I'm new to this board.  Kind of new to 40K though.  Had a Chaos Army when 2nd Edition was out (and this army was the most powerful of them all  ;D ).  But I "misplaced" the army  >:( .  Now I am rebuilding my forces with a Dark Eldar army.  Its getting there slowly but surely.  I played a couple of times with a friend of mine who plays Space Wolves.  Going to be surfing this site for tactics and army configurations.

I play a vanilla eldar army currently.  But I am putting together a Saim-Hann type craftworld army.  

I'm looking for a lot of the female torsos, as I want all my pilots to be female, including the Shining Spears.  So if anyone knows where I can get some of the female torsos in quantity, fairly inexpensively, I'd be most grateful!!!!

Lets think about this...A siam-hann TYPE craftworld...theres a pink gender sign...Maybe she made her own craftworld where the females fight, or at least drive and let the men shoot whatevere they want  :P
Title: Re:newbies
Post by: Selene on June 20, 2002, 02:22:06 PM
They don't have to be.  It's just that I want this craftworld to be matriarchiacal in structure.  All my guardians and infantry (except any Banshees I might take) will be male and the flyers will be female.  Just my own personal quirk.

Besides, my husband likes putting together the female figures better than the male ones...... ;)

No, I paint them for the most part.  He does the little tiny detail work (like the eyes of the helmets) because I can't seem to do that well.  

However, if I get a chance I'm going to post a picture of my ranger squad since I painted them and their camo  rocks (imho). :)

Eldrytch, I would capitalise the F, but I think I would have to change my habit patterns. Besides, the 'star' is supposed to be 'faint' as well as being very good at 'feinting,' so the lack of capitalisation adds to the character of a distant, unknown force, full of esotericness and hidden agendas.  ;)

By the way, If you liked the quote, then you'll probably have liked Bablyon 5.

Ummm...use them as Warlock in the Farseer's Retinue? In a Seer Council, you can have an unlimited number, all of which don't have to have powers/ weapons...

Or. you could say that they have a lute that wounds on a 2+, and is s9 against Tanks... 8)

I'm an Eldar player from the good old days of Rogue Trader.  A friend introduced me about the same time he started to collect a Space Marine army and I've been hooked ever since.

Battle honours are fairly even now but in the old days before the Eldar were given vehicles it was a nightmare they were just cannon fodder.  My army now weighs in at almost 10,000pts (roughly 3,00pts are taken up by vehicles, 3 of which are my own versions of the Waveserpent which have terrorised my friends armies like you wouldn't believe).

A few friends of mine and myself have only war hammered seriously for the last few months and in order to give ourselves some variation we've decided to have two armies each my first to be completed will be a 2000 point blood angel army (please don't boo, I know some people don't like space marines). My second needs no introduction and I would just like to say how very pleased I am to have found this site it has taken a lot of the stress of working out what to have

Halos here. I'm as new as they get. About a week ago i had no idea what in the world "Warhammer" was.  I was walking around in a mall and happend upon a "Gameworks" store.

I myself am an art-buff, so seeing all the pro painted minitures was a blast.

I was curious about the game, but more so into the idea of painting a few myself.

I have recently bid for some figures on Ebay. So, imma give those a shot first...then decide if i should jump headfirst into the realm of Warhammer.

but recently me and a mate of mine wondered into a GW and saw the whole 3rd edition and were sucked back in. 3rd edition eldar is abit of a culture shock after so long but i cant wait to get my new Alaitoc Ranger army into action.

I suppose you could call me a newbie, or at least you could until very recently.  My cousins have been trying to pull me into the hobby for a few years now, but last april I started playing with models built out of lego bricks.  I've gotten real models (1500 - 2000 points worth if you count what I still have unopened) since, and now its seems like all I do is go to school, paint models, date my girlfriend, surf EO, and play 40k...now thats a rant!  EO has been the greatest rules/tactics/awsomeness resource I could ask for, and I credit these boards with the turnaround in my win/loss record in the last mont or so.

Woot, Imperial Guard! I have about 6,000 points of Guard right now, comprising over 200 men, more than a dozen tanks and armour, and a handful of special characters. This is the army I was born to play. If you're thinking about starting a Guard army, think carefully - the codex is completely true when it says, "Although collecting an Imperial Guard army can call for a lot of commitment, the final effect is definitely worth it."
I feel that it is an army that requires very careful work when building an army list. The great thing is, you have so many men that your army can change and evolve as you keep building it.

I stopped playing and painting after playing the Special K edition a few times.

Recently (ie three days ago) I pulled out the remains of my eldar army (7500pts under the 2ed rules) and started a campaign to finish painting them in my Lugnasaad craftworld colours.

Greetings everyone,

I'm new to EO and have been a member for perhaps a couple of minutes now.

I started with Elder 2 years ago. However, my friend who played it (Chaos Marine and now is Elder) moved a far distance away. I had no-one to play with and so I grew tired of painting them.

Now I'm getting back into to it because a few of my mates are doing it, so now I can play with someone on the weekends.

I started with craftworld Saim Hann but I'm starting to veer away from their barbaric ways. Now I'm thinking about the Altoic  (Not sure of spelling, dont have codex with me) you know the one that uses alot of rangers. Are they a good craftworld or should I try another one?

Well I have to run for I have to go into Ballet early tomorrow.

Sigurd

Title: Re:newbies
Post by: Sasarai on December 2, 2002, 10:43:08 AM
Welcome to EO everyone. As for your question Seph:

1. First of all, take the models out off their plastic sprues, or if they're metal, take them out of their blister pack.

2. Then get a modeling knife and cut away all the excess bits of plastic or metal called flash.

3. Then you glue them together.

4. Next up is the undercoat. Depending on if you want a darker or lighter paint scheme, you'll undercoat the models black or white.

5. After that, paint them however you see fit.

hey all! ive been reading discussions here for a few weeks, and just joined up today.  Ive played 40k for a few years now, and decided to come over to eldar.  Ive always liked their flavor, but in my area theres a lot of eldar players, but with the new chaos, necron lists and such theyve disapeared, so i thought now id try my hand at iyanden, a different type of army for me, and i completely love the background for em.  The omnipresent despair with the little light at the end of the tunnel. its great. ive noticed not too many iyanden players, due to cost of money, but r there any successful iyanden players with good advice out there?  lookin forward to the eldar!

I started to play 40K at about the same time 2'nd edition came out, but haven't really played a game now in 7 years or so but I've just recently had my interest in the game renewed.
I used to play Orks before, but I'm thinking of running a Harlequin force now since they seem fun (and cost less money ;)).

Hello all,

Though I am not new to 40K, it has been a really long time since I've played.  To give you an idea, I stopped playing just after the Warp Spiders were first introduced as an Aspect.

Now, I've come back and there's a whole slew of new neighbors!  Of course, I practically leapt at the opportunity to try out a Dark Eldar army, which lead me to this site.

I'll be checking back on somewhat of a regular basis.  Until then, shake a world for me!

Hello, I'm sort of a newb to 40K, although I've been collecting models since 2nd edition (as I'm a modeller, just not a very good one...).

Anyway, I started to play as a few of my friends have armies and I had lots of Eldar models (cos they look the best of course) so here I am.

My main opponents will be Guard, Dark Eldar, Chaos, DA SM althought they also have BA SM, Sisters of Battle, Armoured company and Eldar (Ulthwé), and I'm thinking of fielding Biel-Tan in the future, Although I'm using vanilla at the moment.

Anyway, Hello all!

well.... i'm new-ish... i "fiddled" a bit in 2nd edition and early first... played with a borrowed vanilla army and then started collecting myself. then i had a nasty little garage-fire and a good deal of my collection and paints went up in smoke.... soo... yeah. ive got to drop a load of cash to get back in....

currently i'm thinking about going craftworld... i can't decide between an Alaitoc, Iyanden or Samm-Hain focus atm, tho.. so i'll prolly just start with a fairly generic army, experiment with all three styles and then *shudders* repaint my army when i decide on a focus.

aaand.... yeah. thats it.

I am so new that the word 'noob' is written all over my forehead. I only just played a skirmish with about 350 points, using Space Marines and the dark eldar weeners from the box against some terminator wannabees (necrons). My rear and received some serious metal boot, so now I'm spending alltogether too much euros to build a competitive armie. So far i got the Dire Avengers and the Shining Spears plus a weapons platform with a bright lance.
This board fell out of altavista when I was looking for some fan-material about these nice little elves in space armor and I'm impressed. Lots of good reading for someone with the time to spare

Hiya!  I'm new to the boards, Eldar, and 40k in general, and have now under my belt a total of one campaign, no ordinary games.  I like aspect warriors and starcannons, am an awful painter (that's why I can't enter any official tourneys) and can't understand why shining spears look so bad.

Oh, and harlies look cool, but my friends freak out when they saw the codex and flatly refuse to play.

Love the boards here, will be coming whenever I can (I'm pretty busy with school soon though.

Hi, I'm an official new boy on the block - Been playing Eldar for about five year snow but only just gotten round to getting computer literate!
     My army is generally geared towards Biel-Tan, but I also use Alaitoc. Live in Nottingham, England, and yes I do play half of my games at Games Workshop HQ (no wait or order charge for mail order or forge-world - hehehe...)!
     My playing style is generally close combat, I like to take a few elites into the foe and watch every one of my warriors chalk up as many kills as poss! Dunno if I just havn't met the right opposition yet but I usually play 1000pt games and I havn't lost a single one in a VERY long time. I'll be posting my tactics on the forum some point soon, glad to hear comments and suggestions.
     If anyone's got any descent Biel-Tan advice or experience then I'd love to hear it, fresh ideas are another great way to win games!

Well, my first post, so I suppose it had better be on the Newbie topic.
 I started gaming when I was 12, but did'nt really get into it, and grew bored after a couple of years of painting hideous messes on plastic models of varying races. ;D
 But recently at the ol' age of 18 I've gotten back into it througha  couple of freinds, and chosen to use the graceful and deadly Eldar. This site is a gem and I've read over some tactics and Painting tips/Tutorials...
 I hope to be around for a long time, so Hi everyone!

I'm really new.  I have friends that play, and i have watched them - geez it looks so complicated.  I am planning on learning how, though.

Painting is the main reason why i wanted to get into this, but my eyesight is so bad, i have no idea if i'll be able to do it - bring out the mega-magnifiers!  I bought a farseer to try to paint (no easy wussie stuff for me!)

Anyway, looking forward to getting some Eldar info to get this show on the road!

I too am new.  I have been playing Eldar for about four years but am quite new to this forum and to on line chatting in general.  I have greatly enjoyed reading all of the wonderful and interesting postings and replies and I have even made a few replies myself. Although I always try to read a lot more than I say, I hope to make a couple of postings myself and already my enjoyment in playing and writing about the Eldar has been greatly enhanced by your site. There does seem to be a need out there for editors and, If you're interested, I can offer my services in that capacity as, among the many paths that I have followed, I have been an Eighth Grade English Teacher. Please feel free to contact me about this or any other matter of mutual interest.

Hello all,

I'm new here on EldarOnline. I've surfed through the site a couple of times, but I only recently decided to join the forums as well.

For all who are interested to know, I've playing eldar since 2 months before Codex:Craftworld came out. I've always played Ulthwe.
Eldar is my second 40K army (Sisters of Battle being my first), but the only one I have a fully fledged force for (sisters are very hard to come by).

Well, see y'all soon!

Ah, it seems you are suffering the problem all Eldar face: You have no Leman Russ.

     Hi! I'm pretty new to the whole Warhammer 40k scene. I started reading the message boards and articles here a while ago. I bought a couple models (an avatar, a box of guardians, and a wraithlord), a codex and a rulebook off of Ebay, and I started painting them (the models, not the books)  ;).
     I'm wondering what I should do now. What models should I get? (I don't have lots of money.) Where can I play? Thanks a lot for any responses.  ;D

Hello everyone.

This is my first post, and somehow I'm feeling chatty, so brace yourselves, this post is bound to get somewhat large. I'll probably only post when I feel that I have something to say, but hopefully this will ensure some sort of quality of my posts.

It all started around nine years ago, I had these friends who played Space Marine/Titan Legions/Epic and somehow managed to bully me into playing it too. Some sporadic painting and gaming followed this, and I got introduced to Warhammer and 40k.

The 2:nd ed. Codex: Angels of Death was released and I did seriously consider creating a Dark Angels army. But then Codex: Chaos came around and I did start my first 40k army: Chaos Space Marines. Sporadic painting and even less gaming followed, then I stoped both gaming and painting (I had run out of models after all).

And so it was until three years ago, when a friend of mine unexpectedly said to me: Lets start playing 40k. So we did, and I felt that my old chaos army did not have so much appeal to me anymore. The eldar models did look really cool, and the fluff about the dying race got me hooked, so I started collecting eldars.

Three years later, I have only managed to paint around 900 points, so again the word sporadic comes to mind... Anyways, I use the "vanilla" eldar army, at the moment very guardian-centered, but it is ofc. a work in progress.

I've visited EO from time to time for the last year perhaps, reading mostly tactical articles and painting
related stuff. Haven't really looked at the boards until now.

Well, I guess that's it really, sorry for the rant. :)

Well AiR, what can I say? I do sometimes need a little encouragement to get started. Also, it is a lot more fun to do something with people you know than with strangers.

Me having rather poor social skills does of course not help me finding friends to game with.

Perhaps I'm just a feebleminded fool, but we all have our flaws, right? :)

Yup. I'm the new guy. I'm sure I'm not alone, but hey.

Yeah, WH40K online would be good, wouldn't it? Anyone else think Chaos Gate was a festering pile of amphetamine parrot though? All things considered, if you want to do something like WH40K on computer, you need a top quality company to pull it off. I suggest Blizzard. We could boycott them...hold rallies and amphetamine parrot. It can be done, people. We have the power.

Oh, and I'm an Ulthwe player. Go me.

You've made the right choice, brother. Although I have nothing against Space Marines as such (starts violently coughing, sounds surprisingly like 'beginner army' over and over), Eldar are a better choice in my opinion. Deadly arsenal, unmatched speed...true, if you so much as spit on a Guardian his neck will get snapped, but that's what Warlocks with Conceal are for, right?

Oh, and Chaos Gate? It was just hideous. The level editor pissed me off the most. I dont actually think its LEGAL for a game to give someone conniptions. I would have taken them to court, but I'm Australian. I never get off my arse to do anything.

Although I have a confession... :-[

I've yet to play a game with my Eldar army. I know it back to front, I just...well...haven t had the chance.

Until now.

I'm having a game this weekend, against a Communist/Socialist Space Marine army, that has seen MANY battles.

So, uh...yeah. Mehthinks I'm screwed. Any advice for the newbie?

Mostly, just try to get used to it. When you've been here more often, everything's actually pretty easy. Just take some time to get used to things.

I'm totally lost,

Get used to your surroundings, it's all fairly simle really. Also, above this topic you see the words: EldarOnline MessageBoard, Main, Beginners and Newbies, and the name of this topic. They are links, try to use them, and see where they lead you (they form the basis of navigating through the message boards).

Quote
can anybody tell me how these stupid things work..

I don't see so many stupid things ;).

Quote
what's new, what's not?

When you're logged in, each topic which has new replies to it has a small image behind it's name with new in it. Right now, almost all topics will have new behind them because most topics will not be visited by you. Use the Read as Marked button on the top right to remove all new icons from all posts. this will give you a better view of what is posted since your last visit.

Quote
how do you reply to someone particular..

Like Archon Astaroth said, you reply to a thread, not to a person. If you wish to react on the thread by elaborating on what someone else already said, then you can quote him. You'll see a quote button on the top right of each reply. Quotes look like the one Archon Astaroth used.

Yeah. What he said.








Man, there are a lot of new people here. I'm not alone. I can now feel warm and womb-like rubbing against all this new flesh.

And yes. You probably should be a little scared by that.

SHAMELESS PLUG TIME!
I want all you smiling, heartless little newbs to go to my new thread in the Battle Report Section of the Message Boards. Its called 'The first sweet taste of battle'. The idea is, is people can go there to reminisce about their first Eldar battle. I want to see how newbish you all are.
Cant find your way there? A little lost?
Just follow the scent of my heady musk.

One day, I hope to spend far too much time here, posting in epic proportions, and ridding myself of my newbie status.

Sigh.

Oh wait, I've been captured, haven't I? Where are my manners. I'll just be climbing back into my cage now.

War gamer how come you have made two psots on this board the first one list the number of posts as 1972 as does the second is there someway of doing that also i dont know if this has been asked before as this thread is huge and i cant be bothered to search throuh all the posts but how many posts do you have to post to stop becoming a newb or does it not matter.

Post by: AiR on April 14, 2003, 11:40:36 PM
Farseer Elthanion Welcome to the board well Wargamer's post counts for all his posts on the board. Just because he has 2 posts in the newbie board doesn't mean he didn't post 1970 other posts in other forums. The posts number you have just shows how much time or how much you participate on the boards posting. The post number really doesn't matter, but many people do make a big deal about it.

Rozencrantz and champion_baharroth Welcome both even though one of you've been on for a month. But it's time to get iniatiated!  ;).. If anybody picks on you guys don't hesitate to Private message me or any other mods. Enjoy!

Nice signature though :P.

Hehe, feeling overwhelming urge to post here...

Hi everyone. I've been gaming in general for years (mostly pen and paper), but have only in Warhammer 40k recently. And have only more recently decided on having an Eldar army. Anyway, I will try not to babble too much and leave my questions to new posts or try my hardest to find them already posted!

So hello everyone, nice to meet you!
Title: Re:newbies
Post by: BLACKPHANTOM on April 25, 2003, 11:48:00 PM
I am new here.

How do I post flash?!?!
I need to know.

What's the reason for NOT taking a pistol over a CCW?
Is there one?
Title: Re:newbies
Post by: SnowMongoose on April 26, 2003, 12:30:55 AM
Hi, Im new here too!

Blackphantom:
The only reason I can think of is if you are playing What you see is what you get, and you had a model with a CCW instead of a pistol.

Plus you use the models str, instead of the Shupist's
(usually a moot point with eldar)

WHOA.

I know I'm knew here. I know I havent read all the posts, or met all the members.

But I have to say, I felt a mild form of shock at seeing a weird pink symbol next to wingednothing, rather than the usual blue symbol.

Until it hit me.

Girls ACTUALLY EXIST on EldarOnline. More to the point, girls ACTUALLY EXIST who play WH40K.

Tell me the truth, wingednothing. You're a filthy liar. You're some kind of univeral anomaly or something.



(ERRATA: LoneTode is aware on some level that wingednothing is a girl, and any feelings of curious hostility originate from the fact that most of his brain DOESNT realise it. So no offence, really. He's a good boy at heart, he's just a little lost. And rancid. Like, REALLY rancid. Don't touch him without gloves)

Wow... well, on that note....

Yes, indeed I am female. I am actually writing a paper in school about the problems of being a female gamer. I am, "1% of 1%," so I have been told. But hell, I don't care. I play AD&D, Shadowrun, Magic: The Gathering, Hunter: The Reckoning, various video and computer games (currently Devil May Cry and Chrono Cross), among other random gaming type things. Pick something, I probably enjoy it!

Yes, I'm a freak, and I like it that way! :)
Title: Re:newbies
Post by: Wingednothing on April 26, 2003, 07:40:25 PM
Gloves even... well, I'll remember that  ;)
Title: Re:newbies
Post by: LoneTode, Warseer Mercenary on April 26, 2003, 08:50:26 PM
Yes. THICK gloves.

I've only ever seen one other female gamer, and that would be my friend Emily. She plays MtG really well. Evil woman always gets really good rares in her boosters. She also used to play D&D with me and the guys back in the day...she had a halfling Rogue called Milkdud that was near unkillable.

Oh, and yeah, just so this post actually belongs on THIS SITE, she thinks WH40K is lame. See, she's happy to pretend with dice and paper that she's licking off crossbow shots at a Mummified Dragon, or to pretend with cards that she's just given a mass of beasts the magical equivalent of steroids...but she thinks pretending to fight an interstellar war with expensive figurines is lame.

Hmmmmmmmmm. Makes ya think.

Ooh, I forgot Tamara. Yet another female gamer, who is more or less like Emily, except Tamara thinks WH40K is cool and D&D is lame. But you see, here's the thing, Tamara only owns a single squad of Seraphim, and has never played with them. So despite knowing female gamers, meeting a female gamer who actually LIKES and then proceeds to PLAY WH40k is still like finding a diamond in a candy store.

It's good to see that WH40K isnt doomed to be the sausage party I always thought it would be.
Title: Re:newbies
Post by: Wingednothing on April 26, 2003, 09:02:02 PM
lol, not sure how to react to that phrase... other than laugh my head off. As I've said, I've only recently started WH40K, so I supose you could lump me in with people who haven't played yet, since my army is only nominally put together. Yeah, being poor stinks.


We're getting a bit off topic, aren't we?
Title: Re:newbies
Post by: LoneTode, Warseer Mercenary on April 26, 2003, 09:13:16 PM
Well, technically, unless another newbie arrives, there isnt much 'newbie talk' we can engage in. I mean, this is probably how it would look.


A: Hey, I'm new!
B: Yup, so am I.
A: Aha.
B: Yup.
A: Been new long?
B: Oh, you know.
A: No, I cant say I do.
B: Oh.
A: Yeah.
B: Yeah.
A: Okie dokie then.
B: I'm going to go now.


See? Disasterous.

Nominally put together, eh? I'll go out on a limb and say its Eldar, right? What have you got so far?
Title: Re:newbies
Post by: Wingednothing on April 26, 2003, 09:29:26 PM
Yes,  it is indeed Eldar, and by nominally I mean I know what I want to have in my army and I have Dark Eldar cast offs from a friend that I am experimenting with in regards to paint colours, best ways of putting them together (paint or glue first) etc. Yeah, I know, pretty weak. I need a money tree.
Title: Re:newbies
Post by: LoneTode, Warseer Mercenary on April 26, 2003, 09:40:29 PM
Kewl, kewl. As long as you've got a good plan, you can't go wrong. If I were to recommend any specific thing for your Eldar army (unless its like Saim Hann or something like that, that doesnt really herd masses of Guardians like sheep), make your Guardian squads AT LEAST over 15 strong. I have two 18 man sqauds as the backbone of my army, and coupled with Warlocks with Conceal, they're really something to be reckoned with. As my friend Fletch puts it, they're walking 'buckets o dice'.

Ooh, and Warp Spiders. But I'm just saying that because they were the reason I started Eldar.  :)
Then I discovered that coupled with an Exarch with all the trimmings, they do a very decent job in hand to hand.

But enough about me. What have you got planned, colour and army wise? You can trust me. I'm not recording this conversation.

(sounds of tape recorder falling out of cheap purse, loud expleteives, then footsteps retreating quickly into the background)

Hi everyone,

I am new here but have been playing Warhammer 40k since the Rogue Trader.

Recently we have converted an entire room in our house into a Warhammer 40k room. We made an 8'x4' table and decided to create a planet. We are about to begin a campaign on it and we are going to do all sorts of battle reports type things.

The battles are going to start in the jungles (our planet is a death-world) and move into the cities where we will merge into cityfight.  It is going to be a blast. We are going to make a website for it too. :)

I have a lot of Eldar, all Biel-Tan and just started a small Daemonhunter force. I found this site awhile ago, but never had time to get to the forums.

Nice to meet you all.

-Adrian

Hello all,

A warm welcome to all new people here!

Recently we have converted an entire room in our house into a Warhammer 40k room.

*drool*. An entire room! If only we had that opportunity. We usually play on a normal table somewhere in a living room.
I guess I just have to wait until I find my own place to live (and a way to finance that :D)

n00b here, and an introverted one at that. I started playing in september and found this site soon after. I just started trying to get more involved with social interactions, and this might be helpful. I will be a lurker for most of the time, until I get some courage up and try to post regularly. My army is painted as Saim-Hann, but I use the Vinnilla codex list.

Wow this thread grows so much everytime I check it. It's great to see so many freshmen on the message boards. Half of one page are people welcoming newbies  :)... Which is a great thing because we want you guys to feel welcomed. If you guys have any problems or questions please ask in the suggestions forum, but please check back a few pages just to make sure that topic has not been asked recently. But if it's no biggie PM any of the moderators, they'll be more than happy to solve your problems and give you answers.

And of course, Welcome!

Welcome Turbo! I trust you've been using those few weeks to make sensible, worthwhile posts...

Welcome Turbo....

And Wargamer, I'm not sure that most of us really know what a sensible, worthwhile post is!

Heck, I'm just happy if I've spelled everything correctly!

Whers as I usually hit happy after spelling about half teh words right, and using them that way also.

Also, (sorry I forgot this last post) how do you go about quoteing people with the funny blue box???

Hi, fellow |\|()()|}$ (Noobs).
I promis never tto write like that ever again, unless I really feel like it or the voices tell me to.
Title: Re:newbies
Post by: Dux Aurelius Elysius on May 10, 2003, 03:56:56 PM
on the right, just above the post, there is a box that says quote.

we have been hit by leet here, and some people have reacted extremely negatively, i wouldn't advise it

Well my wife (Wingednothing) keeps telling me about how wonderful this place is and all the neat stuff she's found out since we (just recently) got started with WH40K, so I figured I'd hop on and check things out (although I feel kind of wierd playing space marines and being a member of an mainly eldar forum).  Long story short, hi, I'm new.

Things to learn about:
Fluff
Terrain
How not to let the keeb... er... eldar kick my butt :)

Post by: AiR on May 11, 2003, 03:19:52 AM
Welcome all!

Eldaronline has many articles, and they are all contributed by our great members of Eldaronline.

On these message boards you would learn a lot from, how to kick eldar's butt instead of having them kick yours. The message board is a great place, but sometimes may get deceived and start spamming and flaming. Please stay away from them as much as you can. But don't stress too much about it, don't want you to lose fun because of stress.

If you have any questions please PM me or any moderators you prefer.

Hello all,

Welcome to EO everyone!

Blackphantom, if you've found the quote button, then there are a 2 buttons next to it, one of which is edit, so if you forget to mention something in the future, or you just want to undo what you said because your opinion has changed, then you can use this button to edit your post. Guess this goes for all members ;).

(although I feel kind of wierd playing space marines and being a member of an mainly eldar forum).  Long story short, hi, I'm new.

This forum is also shared with 40K.CA (see the picture on the right-top of the screen saying: 40K.CA, test our new forum). 40K.CA shares a great number of forums with EO (such as this forum, the moddeling forums, etc.), in addition, it also has a forum for each race, such as space marines in your case. It's well worth checking out.

See you around!

looking on the first page of this topic:
Well then,

Welcome to you all!  Myself, I haven't been around that long... started chatting on the EO EZboards I think sometime last summer ... so, there are actually quite a few users who've been around longer than I have (Falcorian is a good example).  

I'm glad to see that the community is growing.  It's unsettling to see that there are only 260 members on our new board, but then again, it's only been up a week or so.  The GOOD part, is that 90+% of these users are return users and regulars, which is what really builds a community.  

So, with luck, time, and (most importantly) your presence, we will be the founders of a strong community!  <sounds cheesy, I know, but it's true!>

Hopefully, with the relaunch, our community will attract even more members!

Yeah. Its pretty amusing. I mean, think of all the time they've spent posting about this game, as opposed to all the time they could of spent PLAYING it.

Not that I can talk. Last game I played was when I first roadtested my Eldar army, probably over a month ago.  ;D

THEN look at how much Ive posted. Not a lot.  :P

Pattern forming. Hmmm.  ???

LoneTode out.

I have a question on the ghosthelm
When I have it in my seer Council, do all deamons fighting the whole council halve their weapon skill, or only attacks directed specifcly against the weared.
if it is only the one, can I choose to driect all attacks from the deamons I will be fighting at him?
Also, How do I know weather a warlock or farseer is dead, and which one it is?
Thanks for the help.

Basically, you get to pick who dies first. Unless something has a special ability that lets it target a specific unit, you allocate where the wounds go. :)

GREAT SITE!!!  ;D I have been playing since the original Rogue Trader days, but I had a bad experience with another player >:( , and it left a bad taste in my mouth. So I havent played in about 2 years.

Now I see all the new models and races, and OMG  :o, I have to get back into it. So I look forward to meeting some of you, and coming home to the craftworld ;)

No one race is the BEST, it's just who you like to play and what tactics you would want to use!

It's always good to meet new Eldar lovers though, and even better when they like other armies as well (gives us all a little perspective! :) ).

What's wrong w/starcannons? If you are fighting IG or the Orc hords, I personall would take atleats 2 maybe 3 Starcannons.  Only thing is, make sure you got at least 1 bright lance, 'cause there are a lot of tanks out there that a SC won't even dent.
Also, I am particuallry fond of a warwalker w/ 1 SC 1 BL, because it can move and shoot, can take out troops, and take out tanks.  A vyper w/BL makes great anti-tank unit also.

Wraithlord or Warwalker Squad(3)?

Hello all,

It seem to me that Raine gets these new members with every board he opens. EOT board -> sudden rush of new members ;D.

Welcome everyone :D. Make yourself comfortable. You'll feel just a little strange the first few weeks, but try living with the idea that your soul is safe here at EO/40K.CA :).

See you around!

hello everyone..or..anyon e. i'm new to the boards as of a few days ago..found the site a few weeks ago though when i decided to start my new eldar host, the site helped decisions and the message boards are definately helping my ..mind.!   Sorry for any mistakes I've made in any posts I've made thus far, I noticed all the copyright stuff and post rules..tried to follow them all.!

Welcome everyone.

EO must look intimidating at first.  It's big and people look like they've either been here forever or like they know everything.

The fact of the matter is, we're all just people and we have lots to learn from each other.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy the EO experience.

yes, welcome one and all.

on the subject of posts, i am amazed. ulthrion joined either three days before or three days after me. he has double the posts and is a mod. now that's what i call rising in the ranks. :o :o

anywho, enough reminiscing about my smallness in comparison, welcome, enjoy all we have to offer. if anyones mean then tell someone about it, we can't have you daunted just because you're new. or do as kijayle and use the egg whisk off doom. :D

Hello all,

Stats like this are viewable, as there is a link [stats] at the bottom of the main forum page.
Here is a direct link (http://www.eldaronline.com/community/index.php?board=;action=stats) to the stats page. There is an overview of the new members per month there, for the last year.

As you can see at the bottom of that page, EO gets around 700 to 900 new members each month with no real obvious increase or decrease. The most members joined in march (nearly 1000), and the least in November (the only month with less than 700 new members).

Although the online activity has greatly increased since then, if you take the most-online table as a guideline.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat as a lot of you.  I've been painting minis for a couple years now, and played my first real game of 40k about a month ago!  I figgered EoT would be a great chance to get involved, so I registered and found some sort of propaganda on the EoT forums suggesting that Eldar players come here to get organised.  I did, and guess what I found!  Great place, eh?  Now I"m a multi-times-a-day regular and workin hard towards my second star...  hee hee

Hello all.
I stumbled across this site the other day and must say that I'm impressed. I've been playing 40k for a few years now mainly because I just loved the eldar models.
Suffice to say I had to have an Eldar army but have since collected a Templar army (boo), a Sisters army(hmm) and an Iron Warriors army (guns!) but always looking for an excuse to go back to the old Eldar, and fith the stike force list, I think I've found it. You got to love Guardians.

Welcome to EO/40K.CA everyone :D. Make sure to take a good look around the forums, and the rest of the site. There is a lot to discover here.

Also, for those that play multiple armies, make sure you check out the foums on 40K.CA (http://www.40k.ca/community/index.php), as there's a board for each of the armies in 40K.

Good luck to all of you, and see you around ;).

What a great website.  I started playing 40K a long time ago and just got back into it last year.  I love the new models and have slowly been building up my Eldar forces.  EO has been a great resource.

I just registered on the site yesterday and am looking forward to utilizing the message board portion of the site.

Post by: Corsair on July 12, 2003, 07:27:32 AM
Thank you all for the tips.

I´ll try to look for it as soon as I got a moment.

Right...

Can I only have pics on my profile that belong to web pages?

Can´t I upload one of my own?

Where can I find information about Wraith Guard? It´s just that the idea of keeping the soul inside a stone and making it "live" in those bodies... is so... strange and wonderful. As soon as I saw the picture of a female eldar kissing the cold head of a Wraith Guard a story struck my mind...

Oh, where can I find all those stories I heard where written by members?

What´s the meaning of life?

 ;)

C ya.

... so much to see, so little time...
Title: Re:newbies
Post by: Wingednothing on July 12, 2003, 09:13:53 AM
Welcome Ulric of Alaitoc! Glad to have you on board!

And Corsair, you'll find the members stories in the Fluff and Fiction Forum here ://www.eldaronline.com/community/index.php?board=7 (http://://www.eldaronline.com/community/index.php?board=7)

To get a picture that you want in your profile/signature, it has to be part of a webpage. You have to upload it to somewhere, unless you run a server from your own computer I supose...

Wraith Guard fluff you should be able to find in the Fluff and Fiction section too, if not, ask about it there.

The meaning of life is 42.

Hope that helped!

Hello all,

Welcome to EO/40K.CA everyone! Enjoy your stay here, and ask many meaningful question :D!

To Corsair:
Don't bother with questions like what's the meaning of life, because you won't find it that way ;). Because if searching for the meaning of life would be the meaning of life then you've already found it, so you wouldn't be searching anymore. Which means that searching for the meaning of life cannot be the meaning of life :P.
Wingednothing already showed you the way to the Fluff and Fiction forum. However, EO also has a great eldar fluff and fiction collection of it's own (written by, and for, the members of the community). Here's the link (http://www.eldaronline.com/fluff/fluffandfiction.shtml).

I have but one question:  how do you get the little flavor text under your name?  <whine>Cause I want some!</whine>

Well, there are a few things under your name, they are explained Here on the Announcements board (http://www.eldaronline.com/community/index.php?board=12;action=display;threadid=5585) and Here on the Beginner and Newbies board (http://www.eldaronline.com/community/index.php?board=41;action=display;threadid=41713).
In general, asking for a custom title only lowers your chances of getting one. So be patient, be a good member, and get noticed by the staff (in a positive way ... there are special titles for those that draw much negative attention to themselves, and they ain't funny ).

Quote
Ah yes, and that little detail about how to play the game...  Anybody have any good links?

Ehh, all you need is in the rulebook as far as I know. You need to have it in order to play, so I suggest you get a copy froma  local games-store as soon as a first priority. Also, try to get in touch with other who play the game longer. Learning form them will probably be a lot easier than experiementing with the rules yourself (although it's possible).

If there are any specific parts of the rules that you don't understand, then you can always ask those questions on the forum (Rules and Questions is for questions about the rules etc.).

Happy gaming, and see you around!

You mean .. you haven't heard yet? GW has recently released the new newbies plastics, and they now come in boxes of 10 members + bitz. They're real easy to assemble, and still very detailed. Not to mention that you can model them in various ways. For instance, you can add some spiky bitz to make a Dark Eldar player, or you can add muscles and armour for a marine player.

Why, oh why, do I have the feeling that I'm mixing something up :-\...

For tips about starting your Ulthwé army, be sure to check out some of the threads here in Beginners and Newbies, as there have been quite similar question.
If you're more comfortable with the rules, make a few lists, to get an idea of how much you can field in a typical eldar/Ulthwé army, and post it up in the Eldar Tactics, Strategies and Army Lists forum, for more tips on that specific army.

Hello all,

New to 40K, and building up a small army of DE to start out. I havent played yet, and I have a few questions:

The Archon: Is there a specific model for this one? I got the female DE Lord - should I get the guy with the mask instead (is there a difference?)

Reading strategies, I see recommendations on equiping my Archon with an agoniser, shadow field, combat drugs and/or haywire grenades - How do I represent those on the model? Do I have to? Will the halbeard-like weapon on the model pass off as an agoniser?

The weapon that comes with the Raider - Is that a Lascannon or a dark lance? (I am guessing the Lascannon has been dropped with the codex)

Any help appreciated.
 :)

Welcome to EO!

Dark Eldar are not easy to play and a rather unusual choice for a first army, but once you mastered them they are devastating.

To answer your questions:
There is no difference between the two Lord models (besides the look), both can be used as either Archon or Dracon. It seems to be usual that if you use both an Archon and a Dracon in your army, then the male one with that mask is the Archon.

An agonizer can be represented by any weapon, that huge claw of a male lord model is appropiate. The halberd of the female model on the other hand is a nice punisher, which is also a common weapon for a Lord.
A shadow field can hardly be displayed, but if your opponents insist on it, you could add a small black box to the model, which displays the field emitter. I've never heard that someone actually insisted on that, wysiwyg is usually limited to using the appropiate model with the right weapons, not every tiny piece of wargear has to be displayed. Combat drugs can be displayed in a similart way, a small boc displaying the dispenser, and some pieces of wire which can display hospipes through which the drugs are pumped into the body. Again, almost no-one displays combat drugs on his model.
Grenades don't have to be displayed at all.

The weapon which comes with a raider is a dark lance.

Thanks Astaroth!

It makes sense now.

I have been told that DE are unusual as a first army choice, but I'm not in this to win at any cost - I want to play to have fun. I will no doubt get crushed in the beginning, but I will learn, and learning is half the fun :)

besides, the DE have cool looking models, and I already had a 20 warrior squad to begin with when buying the 40K box :)

Time to add my Rune to those already intered  here. I am new to teh Eldar but not the 40k game, having played Marines/Spacewolves previously for years.  I am in no way a power gamer, if anything i tend to pick atheme and stick to it.

My goal with the Eldar is to play something new in my area as alomst everyone in my group plays Marines or Chaos.  I am looking for a well balanced Army, that also really captures the feeling of the Eldar. That being said i originally planned to play a vanilla list but I must admit I have been swaying towards Ulthwe...not the Strike Force though...just the standard Craftworld list......Any questions I can answer I will gladly...and I look forward to  my t9ime here in this forum....

Welcome to EO Laun Mo R and Killnec!

Agreed Killnec, Eldar models are sooo much fun to paint!

laun mo r, WYSIWYG is pretty thorough... generally the only thing that you can mess with are grenades, they don't have to be on every model you are using. But when you are playing with friends and people you know really well, a lot of people let the rule slide. I don't personally. I like to be flexible on a lot of things, but this particular rule I think is really important for game flow and understanding. Though lots of people will let something "count as" something else, as long as it always does, and isn't a different thing on different models. Did that make sense? Anyway...

And the red button, only Purple Raine has access to that.
Title: Re:newbies
Post by: Farseer Ulthrion on July 30, 2003, 01:39:19 PM
Hello all,

Welcome to EO/40K.CA :D! Have a good time here.

As to WYSIWYG: I personally don't mind if any of my friends tell me that some gun 'counts as' another type of gun. But if you go to tournaments, then things are quite a bit stricter. You might get to play a little with the grenades, but that's really where the liberty ends. If your farseer's model has a sword, then you can;'t give him a singing spear.
That said, the Eldar Vehicle Upgrades are a bit different. I have no diea how they handle that in tournaments, but as there are no official GW vehicle upgrades (only from forgeworld), they can't really complain if you make up your own. In fact, if you want to, all vehicle upgrades you want are already on the falcon. Just point out a large gem, and call it a spirit stone. point out the prod at the bottom/front and call it the holo-field projector ect.

Finally, as for the red button. I was Raine-only, but apparently I also have one now. It's ... ehh, wait a sec *wipes screen* ... aaaarg! *hides paint from little brother* so, that should do it. Where was I? Ow yeah ... the red button is for Raine only ;).

Thanks for the clear up.

So how Does GDW expect us newbies
to build a Guardian storm squad??

I have already put the fear of
Dark Reapers into my hobby shop.
Led by Gon B'nae Exarch, fast shot,& Missile launcher

fielding 500 pts  is hard to balance

??? The Wave Serpent transport, is it a seperate unit after disembarking??

the mad scheme:

Gon B'nae's Dark Reaper unit race accross the battle feild inside the Wave Serpent Na nae.      
firing as movement allows                                step 1

Na nae  Disgorges the reapers who disembark
but do not move.  the Na nae does not move either
Two units can fire at seperate targets.  all fire
during the assault phase the 'Reapers embark  step 2

lather rinse repeat


Gon B'nae's target list is long.  (newbies can't smile yet)
@#@#!!     the Falcon holds 6 models!
2 minimum Dark Reaper squads!!
>>>but, all 3 Heavy support are in one location>>>

What say the Farseers of the nursery and assorted

Welcome to EO Corsair!

There is a small button at the top of the EO page, right where your profile, help, logout, etc buttons are, that is called notifications. You should be able to cancel your old notifications through there :)

And laun mo R, my best advice to you comes in two bits. First, post this in the Eldar strategy and tactics forum, you will get many more replies and insights there. Two, for my actually thoughts, really the only way to test something like that is to try it out. As great as something looks on paper, it's really hard to tell how good it will really work until you try it. The opposite applies to things that look crummy on paper too, so the best thing you can do is practice, play, practice, rewrite, and have a good time!

Reading strategies, I see recommendations on equiping my Archon with an agoniser, shadow field, combat drugs and/or haywire grenades - How do I represent those on the model? Do I have to? Will the halbeard-like weapon on the model pass off as an agoniser?


Suggestion: Don't play WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) for a while. Since you're new to 40K in general AND playing one of the toughest armies in existence, this is REALLY important. The problem is, once you glue something in, it's STUCK. Later, you may find that by taking this big gun, you can't have that big sword, which you really want for your psycho death Archon. I don't suggest WYSIWYGG for a while.

Yes, yes, the obvoius response is: "Shut up Pandora, you make some news!"  However, I plan to do just that, but writing has always taken me awhile.
Lets see...I came to EO about, two months ago? However, I never really started becoming active until like, a month ago.

However, to a person that doesen't have the inclination (or the spare time!) to read the wonderful archives of information on the site, its great, and in strong supply.  I just don't like the lack of newer information coming in lately.

Thanks for the tip. Actually, this is exactly what I did over the weekend. I played my first game at the local store, and my opponent was kind enough to let slide some of the WYSIWYG rules. He was also kind enough to help me out with strategies, and how a game is actually played out. All in all an enjoyable experience (less so for my DE who got trampled - who knew that facing Dark Angels would prove so disastrous? :) ).

As my army grows, I will be better able to stick to WYSIWYG.

greetings all!

i am new here, as of today(august...6th? '03). i saw a post about this site on the eot forum, and decided to check it out a few days back. awesome! very cool stuff you folks have here. and it was perfect timing, because i just started to put together a harlequins army about 2 days before i found out about this place...perfect! i have been converting, and buying the archive models from gw and ebay, trying to get a good army together. reading what is listed here under the harlequins is exacttly why i chose to start the army up; the challenge! they can be most devestating when used correctly or a waste of points if used poorly....so, the reasons i decided on putting the army together;
as a young pup, i started painting minis at the age of 9. when i was 13, back in the mid 80's, i discovered a store that carried citadel minis...and they blew away what i had been painting....the first model i painted was an imperial beastman, the second: a harlequin.....i loved painting them because i felt that the whole point of the army was to showcase ones painting talents. even though at the time, i never played, i only painted. i did not paint for several years, then in the late 90's i started up again, this time to play as well. so, in those terms, i am still a rookie gamer, but as to the minis, i am a long time observer/collector.....anyways, i totally digress....back just before i started painting again with a passion, i traded many of my minis to a guy who played.....among them were about 8 harlie jet bikes.............. ..about a year later, i realized the mistake i had made....i know......
fast forward to 2 months ago, a guy i always play fielded a harley army in a game at the store. i had not seen the experimental rules, so he let me read them.....then i watched them go! i liked them. a week later, i had been thinking about them that whole week in a bout of nostalgia, i played him with my deathguard.....i watched him crumble beneath me.....as he complained they were not worth the damn point cost.....i pointed out to him, that according to the codex, this is how he should have played them/set them up....he (in a sporting manner, not rude or condescending) suggested i build up an army and play them then.....and...it stuck!

so, thats the really short(yes, short) version of why i want to build them up. as far as other armies go, i do have an iyandan army, which i have yet to field, but hope to in the near future. other than that, i tend to try the realm of armies in the 40k universe, never really sticking to one army to label myself, ie; a chaos player.



so, anyways, here i am, and now i would like to say hello to all!
also, i would love to know more about the rules section for harlequins. it seems when try to open the rules, they do not work. so i was wondering if someone could answer a few questions;

in the tactics, it refers to mimes and wraithlords....what are the rules to them for harlequins? the version gw sent me of the rules includes neither.

as far as wargear weapons, i noted that the rules specifically do NOT say one can combing powerblades with a harlequins kiss...is this true? you can use them together? wounding on 2's, no armorsaves? it seems that it cannot be so, but nowhere does it say you cannot, where as it DOES say you cannot combine power weapon with a kiss, powerblades count as wargear, not another singlehanded weapon...thoughts?

anyways, i leave it there for now. if anyone can answer those questions for me, it would be wonderful! thank you.

 The rules for these are in Citadel Journal 44. If you check the Stickied post on top of the Harlequin forum you will find the information you need on these.

  You can not, as of Citadel Journal 50, page 42 as I recall. You can carry them together and get the +1A, but not combine the effects. This is also in a stickied post on top of the Harlequin forum.

Hello all,

Welcome Alexzander! Enjoy your stay here at EO/40K.CA, and I hope that we can help you understand the game a bit more.

As a side note: Here is a link (http://www.eldaronline.com/community/index.php?board=41;action=display;threadid=46685) to a similar post, right here in the Beginners and Newbies forum, which is about not understanding the game at all. Unfortunately, the advice will arlways remain the same, get the rulebook, and just get started ;). You'll learn as you play.

If you haven't decided on an army yet, take a look at the Games Workshop site (http://www.games-workshop.com/40kuniverse/warhammer40k/warhammer40k.htm). On the left are links of teh various armies that you can play, including model pictures, a brief description, and sometimes some nice pieces of art as well (along with some other goodies).

Also, try to find a gaming group near you. Learning the game form other people is much easier than learning it by yourself :).

Good luck!

Hey, welcome to EO!

It's highly recommended that you buy Codex Eldar. That army list from the rulebook is no longer valid, and there have been some changes in the Codex version that you should know about. But generally their "style" is the same.

Hello all,

Welcome to EO/40K.CA Citadel97501 and Storm Of Silance :D!

As Archon Astaroth said, the Codex id pretty much essential, but teh rulebook itself is very good to learn the game from, as it has less complicated weapons for each race.
However, before you actually go into developing tactics, the Codex is esential, as the playing style might be the same, almost all the squads have been tweaked in some way or another ;).

*steps off the boarding ramp of his landing craft*

I discovered this place tonight. I joined this place tonight. My respects to the guardians of the ancient mysteries.

*bows slightly*

In the real world, I'm pretty beardy. Been playing since 1990. Don't play Eldar directly, but I did paint my friend's army, and have acted as facilitator for that one and a couple others. I'll be poking around for a more appropriate place to mention it, but in case I don't find one, you can add his Craftworld of the Rosean Dubh to your list. ;)

I personally have played Grey Knights since the get-go and still stick like ABS cement to the old fluff (with certain allowances). I also have a standard Marine army (Howling Griffons), and -- in the works -- a Tau army (my own sept), an ImpGurd army (my own regiment), and a Sisters of Battle army (Order of the Valorous Heart).

For giggles, I've also done up a Dark Angels command squad that I feel is more appropriate than the examples shown (white armour, green robes, and Azrael's wearing the Lion Helm, which is black...), I'm fiddling with some Dark Eldar Incubi, and I've done about a half-dozen or so conversions for various friends just cuz I felt like it.

Off to surf the boards now...

*Mist Rises off the battlefield* *curtsy* My title is Jennifer to the lessers, but Jen to my equals. I have just(more or less) began to seriously build my army. I Unfortunate to say, have not found an honest retailer (or wholesaler if you're out there). From California, I look for a retailer outside the US or even one inside that has better barters then that of the main supplier(Name left unsaid *cough* Gamesworkshop*cough*)

If any Mortal seems to carry such wonderous information I am forever in your debt.  Email at kaptvesou1@yahoo.com or Private message me through this channel. All Appreciated.

Well welcome everyone! It just occurs to me that I have never made a thread about me in any of the forums so here goes:

Hi, Im not really new here, this being my 550th+ post. But what the hey. I play Ulthwe, Harlequins and Hordes of Chaos. I have been playing for about 4-5 years now (and I remember I time when regiment boxes cost 30% less)

so yeah, you have probably seen at least one of my posts around and I hope it was wisdom spreading.

hey to kaptvesou1;

are you in the southern ca area? i am in la, and, same thing, gw stores are the only ones i have found...but i am still new to the area....

i do game with several people i trade with regularly, and that works out very well. what army are you putting together? if you are in the area, i may be able to find people willing to trade/sell bits cheap. i myself have a decent amount of bits, and lots of guardian/banshee bits, if those appeal to you....if you DO find an indy retailer out here(there has to be somewhere) i would be very interested in knowing who they are. good luck!

Hello all,

Welcome to EO/40K.CA Peregrinus and kaptvesou1 :D! Glad to have you aboard!
And Welcome to Von Lazuli as well ;)

Peregrinus: Be sure to check out 40K.CA (http://www.40k.ca/community/index.php). It's the sisters site of EO, and has a board for each of the races in 40K (look at The Inquisition for Grey Knights and Sisters of Battle). You automatically have an acoBoy Snide's Outrageously Shiny Leather and PVC clad Soul Train there as well, as it's the same member-database as EO's. This means that you can just log in there with the same username and password you use at EO.
This is of course, if you didn't already knew this ;).

Anyways, see you around!

Hello all,

Welcome to EO/40K.CA Zim11911 and Shadowmancer :D!

Zem11911: Do you mean vehicle-heavy with aerial assault, or do you mean the flyers (from Imperial Armour II and Update)?
If it's the first, then any craftworld will do (although Saim-Hann is more focussed on the smaller vehicles). With the last one, there is no real difference in the various craftworlds, except for Saim-Hann, who can get fewer of the small flyers (Phoenix and Nightwing).

Also, be sure to check out 40K.CA (http://www.40k.ca/community/index.php). It has a board for each of the races of 40K, including the blood angels (which are found in teh Space Marine forum). Your EO login automatically also works there, although you'll need to login there seperately.

And Shadowmancer, make sure you check out the Fantasy forum. There aren't many O&G players yet (I am playing them for over 6 years now).

See you around!

Welcome to the site mrmonkey,

tau or nids are both great armies it really depends which one tickles your fancy. Both are generally weak armored, both are specialised in an area. Nids are specialised in close combat and tau are specialised in shooting.

Ahh well Captain Elder, that picture has to be on the web, it can't be only on your computer. That may be the problem, so you should find free hosting sites for you and your images.

Also if any new members are puzzled about which boards can they post in about certain topics. You guys can check the descriptions under each forum.

If you have any questions about anything feel free to ask the members on the board or ask the moderators, we would be glad to help anyone on the boards especially the new members.

yes, feel free to ask for advice, though the answer may not be fully consistent  ...

captain elder, when finding the piccy you want on the internet, right click it and then click on properties. you will then get a list of thingy-me-bobbers and the one you want is the website adress. copy and paste that into the url for piccy in your profile and prepare to be stunned and wowed. however, some ites have an anti-carry on the pic thingy-me-bobber which means that won't work.

Welcome CuBiC,

Make sure you don't make the mistakes I did. I excidently glued one of the parts upsite down in its model. It lookes ridiculous. At first, keep yourself to the instruction, start to vary afterwards.

Just go and practice a bit with it. Turn a few models into hideous paint-blobs, and use colors that were never meant to be within a couple of yard of eachother ... all on the same model :p.
Anyways, what I mean to say is, don't worry when you screw up a model, instead, expect to screw up the model, so you can be quite pleased with the end result.

See you around!

Maybe their sept or group mounts their equipment in that fashion to avoid some certain terrain-feature where they live? Like some sort of sweeping branches maybe?
There is no "right" or "wrong" when it comes to models. Only what you think looks nice at the time.

well with regards to painting your first minis, anitcipate them being crap and then to prove a point, make them crap. it may sound cheesey but practise really does make perfect. i found that when i first collecting warhammer my painting was the quality of cows excrement. it never really improved until i left warhammer and then came back it. once i did come back to it my painting had improved a lot (one of  the ways we learn apparently is by sleeping and letting our brain figure it out without getting frutrated ... or even realise) and then i just carried on painting and it looks a humungous amount beter. so if uyou want to paint well, give up warhammer then get back into :) ... i guess that was a long way to get to a small point ...

Well, the way I figured out painting was to go slow in the start, painting only one model at the time and putting some time into it. Then I looked at the process and tried to figure out what I was doing wrong and somewhat how to avoid it. Then I went on to the next miniature and tried the things I had learned. After a few days of this I think I have improved pretty much, but not exceptionally.
*points at sig*
That's my 15th painted miniature, ever.

welcome llantir

wow CuBiC, i htink everyone here will agree that you're 15th painted miniature looks pretty good, though  i have one tip for the eye sight on the gun. the way GW says to paint gems well (not simpley, though it is still effective, though not as good) is to do the gem black. then do the lower 3/4s red gore/scab red (i forget which), then lower half blood red then lower corner golden yellow with a little white dot in the top of the black, though they alsoshow it as being painted slightly slanted and curved so you have //// though take the blue to be blood red (i don'tr know if there are shades with the colour do-hiccy) plus it's on different lines and i dunno how to change that, i gess its programming or something
Title: Re:newbies
Post by: CuBiC on October 15, 2003, 03:34:16 PM
Heh, I was trying that, but I only have one shade of red and that's blood red. So I was mixing colors the best I could.
Title: Re:newbies
Post by: Dux Aurelius Elysius on October 15, 2003, 05:41:26 PM
well like i said, the model does look pretty cool (nice to know your best painted model's a beaky :) ) and just for note, how old are you (it may be in your profile but i can't be bothered to find out) as it'll possibly affect my wowment a little, but still, the models rather cool for only 15th (but then again, my first models i was 9 and they were so bad, the brush must've been an overloaded tank brush or something, or i dipped them in a pot of paint ...)
Title: Re:newbies
Post by: CuBiC on October 15, 2003, 06:15:41 PM

Welcome Llantir, nice to meet you too :D.
Enjoy your stay here at EO/40K.CA!

As to CuBiC: If you paint all your models that way, you'll have a good fieldable army. When you have improved skills (through painting all your marines) you can do the fine work on your characters, making them stand out. This way you'll have a completely fieldable painted army in no time :).

well i must say i'm shocked it took you 17 years to do some proper painting, but still, it has to be said that your painting is pretty amazing for such an early start, maybe you could enter the next golden daemon that comes your way and check out the competition, see how they paint, plus it ought to be a great experience. the only real problem would be if you don't live in england or near wherever it is that golden daemon happens in your area.
Title: Re:newbies
Post by: CuBiC on October 16, 2003, 03:09:38 PM
Heh, I don't think I have any golden daemon competitions here. Nor do I have a store to get stuff from, not any close ones. The closest is about a 2 hours drive away, so I have to order via internet.

I don't know anyone playing the game either, but a friend of mine is supposedly going to start an Eldar army. I'm going for a Tau army.

And for the record, I live in Norway.

When I do get a chance to play 40K, I usually field an army from Iyanden.  My roommate is working on making a RPG based on 40K, in which I have been playtesting.  I actually play two characters in that one.  The first character is a Howling Banshee/diplomat from Iyanden by the name of Alana. ;)  The other character is a Blood Angel Corporal named Romulus.  Well, before I get too long winded, I better stop typing.  Just wanted to say hi, and that I'm glad this site is around for us Eldar enthusiasts. ;D

Welcome Farseer Alana. I'm glad to hear that yet another soul has joined our forums. From your post it is clear that you joined Eldar Online (http://www.eldaronline.com/community), but you must know that it has a sister site with a few shared forums, namely 40k.ca (http://www.40k.ca/community), where the less Eldary persons (like me) hang out. Your account works on both forums. If you want to ask or read something about a non-(Dark) Eldar, that's the place to be.
Hope you enjoy your stay.

Greetings to all.  I'm new to this forum and I have chosen the Eldar as my second army.  My first Army until recently has been Tau and my reasons for switching at this moment is to try something new.

Most people where I game in are playing necons, chaos, or orks; so this army will be unigue in my area.

I'll be playing a vanilla Eldar Army (with a hell of alot of guardian defenders) until maybe trying a craftworld army.

Your forum and your web site is very well done and I look forward in giving and recieving imput from here.

I have been floating around GW for the past seven years, never having enough cash to collect anything, but I do have a load of Imperial BFG stuff on my christmas list this year.

Hail and well met all,
    I am new to this site, new to Eldar, and, well, new to Warhammer as entirely. I've wanted to play for a long time but I never had money, so when a friend of mine told me about someone selling an Eldar army for fairly cheap I jumped at the offer. So now I have my own (or at least the beginnings of my own) Eldar army. I have yet to get a chance to actually play because I don't want to jump straight into a turnament right away but therwse t is kind of hard to find someone to play with. Anyway, I just wanted to make my presence known.

If you are looking for players I suggest you post a notice in rhe regional forum, as this is where people look for them. Can't hurt reading through some pages there to see if anyone from that area has posted, and is looking allready.

Hi there! First off, I'd like to say a few things to all you newbies joining us here:
1) Don't be afraid to ask questions. So long as it's not breaking the rules of EO, we can help. Also, don't worry about whether you think the question is stupid or not; my early rule understandings would make most of you wince. ;)
2) EO has a sister site called 40K.ca (http://www.40K.ca/community). Be sure to drop in if you have any questions about the (superior) non-Eldar races. In particular, I suggest you all start collecting Guard and grav-drop into the Guard Forum (http://www.40K.ca/community/index.php?board=18), where we will scream abuse guide you on your way...
Of course, if you insist on collecting a non-Guard army (shame on you!), there are plenty of other races there as well...
3) Be nice to Mods, Bonesingers, Veterans, and Purple Raine. These people (especially Raine) are very important members of the community, and deserve your respect. If any of you want to know what happens when you cross the Great Purple One or his lackeys Minions pet chimps assistants, then go ask Dark Flame...
4) Do not spam!
Pretty simple. Spam belongs in Monty Python sketches, not our beloved message board. Now, let's all sing along! Spam spam spam spam...

Anyway, welcome to the site! ;)

As fro teh armies you want to play, remember that the harlequins aren't an official army, so you can't use them at tournaments. But for the full details, I would recommend the various forums (Harlequins and/or Dark Eldar), but I guess you already figured that out ;).

I am new.  I have been around 40k for a few years, but got disuaded because my friend was stomping me everytime I played.  So I quit.  Well it turns out that he didn't know the rules either and was swaying it so that he could win!  >:( But, now we have a little crew for playing.  And while I was gone playing Space Marine in Iraq he learned the rules and has made quite an army, and now he gave me the fever again.  I have a 2000 pt army, though I really don't know how to use it all that well.  Haha! :)  I am learning though.  I know I have the tools to destroy his Daemonhunters, and Space Marines, I just have to figure it out.  I have learned that high rates of fire are a very nice thing to have, so I will probably make 2 full squads of guardians a must have for my army, but I am still not sure which craftworld to take.  I originally started playing because I wanted to paint the miniatures, now I have a custom painted army and have spent considerable money (and time) going down a road I didn't know would lead to frusteration.  Especially now that I know that I really have to choose a Craftworld and can't pick and chose what I like at random...for some reason players don't like it when i added some Pathfinders as and elite choice to my Seer Council.  Oh well, I guess I will have to front the cash to get a new base army or strip and repaint everything.   ???  :'( Haha...considering I spent the last roughly year painting everything.

Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer....

I am doing ok in that regards.  My buddy has like every army known to man.  So i try to play against all of them.  I just dropped 200 bones on some new additions to my army.   I bought a Storm Guard. squad and a warlock.  They will be going to building up my color scheme correct USF.  I also bought a squad of Banshees, and Scorpions with exarchs and respective PL's.  I needed to counter my buddies HTH power.  We played teh other day and he was Nids, and I did ok, until the end when they all got close and laid waste to my army.  Quite discouraging, so now I will bring in the HTH specialists and see how they do.  Now I have a lot more to paint.  And I had just finished all of my pieces....ah well...I guess it is an ongoing, neverending process!  :D

Post by: Wombat on March 9, 2004, 02:10:44 PM

Hello, been trolling this board for a while now as I try to muster the time/energy to get back into 40k and re-collect all my stuff.

Picked it up about 7 years ago in high school but in a small town it was just me and my friend who liked to paint and destroy eachother.  Just thought the eldar were too cool to pass up and went to college and found....umm, OTHER hobbies for a while...

Anyhow I've always loved the painting aspect and what has driven me crazy was spending so much time on a single mini and never really finishing an entire army.  But that's also a positive for eldar right...fewer miniatures per army hopefully?

But, found a store nearby that seems pretty active and convenient place to play so back to re motivating myself!

speaking of stupid, drop in the Space Tavern to meet some of the more... ah... characterful members of this community, and of course you can read the massive number of parody stories that lurk down there...

As for Sheepz, or Ronnie, or whatever you call yourself these days :) I would like to welcome you officially, but Rasmus stated the term already and it would be rather incosistent if I were to just welcome you while another staff had just asked you to do something first .... so anyway, welcome Sheepz ;D.

If you get an error while posting; don't hit "refresh" as it psawns another post. Just go back and check if it went through.
Second, only post a post in a single forum. Posting the same in several forums (which you did with your armylist) is crossposting and considered quite rude.

Just a quick introduction here for all to see!

I don't play Eldar and as a Space Marine player I'm not too fond of Starcannons, but Rasmus has finally persuaded me to join the community. I kept hearing him whispering "Join uss! Joooin usssss!" in my feverinduced nightmares....

So, now I'm finally here and I think I'll enjoy myself! I've heard a lot of good things about EO.

Thanks Ras!  ummm okay.  So far of the 20, most are simple Splinter rifles (A couple are pistols + close combat) and 3 are Cannons, so I'm just forced to assume 1 is a sybarite (it annoys me, I know, but several were built before I got the rest)  I want to add in some blasters, but I don't know what blisters/sets would give me access to em.  Any help?

Hey all. I use to play the army of Necrons but I've decided to cross over and play Eldar. Saim-Hann Eldar to be exact. I choose this Craftworld because it seemed the most challenging to play next to the Ulthwe Strike Force. It'll be a while more before I start to assemble my Windrider Host, so until then I hope to learn more about the Eldar here.
Title: Re: newbies

Hello Windrider and welcome to EO/40k.ca!

Title: Re: newbies
Post by: Arcas on June 25, 2004, 10:26:41 AM
This magazine is an issue of "white dwarf", isn't it?

What you need now is codex eldar, with the rules of the models that you just bought, and two units of troop choices.
There will be a new rulebook in september, so you better wait with buying that one until then. Let people at the store explain the basic rules, so you can have some simple games until then.

Title: Re: newbies
Post by: Koonitz on June 25, 2004, 10:33:18 AM
Welcome,

Hawks are in your Eldar army, hence they're in your Eldar Codex. There is a Codex: Eldar suppliment, "Codex: Craftworld Eldar" that has rules for the five most common warhost organisations. In each, the Swooping Hawks haven't changed from their role in Codex: Eldar.

As this "Newbies" post is for new folk to introduce themselves, I would ask that you (And Astaroth) take any assistance requests to the respective forums, or to private as it would unnecessarily clutter this already large post.
Title: Re: newbies
Post by: Arcas on June 25, 2004, 10:34:36 AM
They are eldar, but most people consider them to be few more than a "exarch delivery system", as they are not very effective against marines. Unfortunately, marines of some kind are by far the most popular armies.

No offence to marine players, but some more variety would be nice ;)

I was a pretty active member of L-O, until their bandwith was exceeded (god, they need to fix it). So now I'm here on EldarOnline as well, and it is a rather awesome place to discuss tactics and such about the Dark Eldar, which are discussed very lightly on L-O. I've actually known this site forever, but never joined, cuz well, reading all of the posts were just as fun  ;).

It is good to see lots of veteran players that know everything regarding to Eldar overall here.

Hi just started trying to use Eldar have been using Space Marines up till now, decided to try a real army ;).

Having real trouble choosing an army and found this place. 

The tactics section has really helped and hindered at the same time, after reading the blurb on all the units available and adding everything into my 1500pt army that I wanted it totalled to 4500pts :-\.  There isn't much that isn't usefull. 

On the whole this place has been a great help and I haven't been here for long.

Hi all I just signed myself in. The  reason for this was that I want to swap my spacemarines for dark eldar and while gathering info I bumped onto this site. I only have 2 warrior squads from the starter bxes (with a land speeder 10 marines a bbb some buidlings etc) my friend did get one 2 and I traded his sqaud of ddark eldar for 3 lord Of the rings cards. as ive read some of the tactics all seem to use raiders so Im gonna buy a raider tommorow ^^
Do any of you have some tips of making a starting 500pts dark eldar army? thx already WK40.000(TLO) out.

Ps the TLO stands for the clan i am in for diablo 2 lod wc3 tft and sc bw (online games) im a admiral and lead the wc3 tft div my acc name is wk40.000(TLO) there on forum as in the games for all of you that wondered why thats my name sadly I couldn't take wk40.000(TLO) on this forum but thats ok.

Hey warhammertlo. Remember, Dark Eldar is a hard (probably one of the hardest) army to use. If you lose most of the time, that's fine, DO NOT give up, learn from your loss (e.g. I should've shield my HQ's Raider with a spare Raider Squad). Glad to see more Archons to join the gang!

The Ulthwé-army is a very stable beginning for any Host, and the SeerCouncil is a favourite of mine as well!
And don't worry that you only have a Codex and a single model; we all have to start somewhere. The Codex and a Warlock is a great start, considering.

As Rasmus said, we all have to start somewhere, and the codex and a warlock are two of the things you'll need most in an eldar army (codex is a must, and you'll definately want a good number of warlocks, especially in an Ulthwe army).

Good luck collecting the army, and lots of fun on the forums. We'll see you around!

Hey there,

I'm new here. I've been lurking on the boards for about 3 or 4 weeks and decided to create an account. I used to be an active player "back in the day", but Life made me put my Eldar in a box. Now, there out of the box and getting a fine tooning as well as new figures.

I'm anxiously waiting to buy the new edition of the rules... It's been a while since I bought a new copy of the rules. The one copy I have of WH40K rules has Rogue Trader written across the top. ;-)

Hope to see some of you around the boards!

Title: Re: newbies
Post by: Solarc on August 23, 2004, 12:58:05 PM
Ho boy! You said it Rasmus!

There are huge differences.  4th will be a much better game, IMO.

I considered buying 3rd ed rule book back at the end of April when I had my revelation and found some folks I could play with... But I'm waiting for 4th. Looks like the people who play 3rd now have at least 3 or 4 adendum rules (new close combat, Trial vehicle rules, and something else I can't remember.)  and it was so tentative that I'd just sooner wait till the 4.0 version comes out.

But for the sneak peeks I got here on the boards and elsewhere, It's looking like it will be a great game!

Now... I must paint! and trim and paint and glue and Paint!

So far, the rules seem pretty nice to me (haven't actually played a game with the new rules though), but then again, I come from 3rd edition, so the changes for me won't be as much as for someone with mostly Rogue Trader experience...

I hope you enjoy the new edition and the rest of the hobbying!

Hey all. I'm Miasma. I am not new to 40k and I am certainly not new to these forums. Hell I used to mod here! (And not when it was small either! I tell you no lies. While I expect Raine not to know me now you ask  Air or AA they'll know me...Well they'll know me as Helmed Horror anyway.)

But I am starting again. So hello all. And now to post.

Welcome back Miasma :D. Yeah I remember seeing someone under the name of Helmed Horror here. That's indeed some time ago.

Out of curiosity, why not continue the use of the Helmed Horror account?

Farseer Ulthrion

A few reasons.
1. I want a fresh start, despite I know a fiar amount of people here. Meh
2. I had actually got a title on that account (Let the sun shine in!) that I probably can't be bothered changing.

And finally...

3. I have no way to actually access my account, as I changed the password and the e-mail address (to an e-mail address that is bouncing I think). If I could actually get it fixed I would use it. I don't know. I may look into if. If you can offer any solutions then I'm all ears.

Since you deleted this new account i assume that someone eventuelly already might have solved the problem...in case that i'm wrong about this, i could reset email and password of your original account to whatever you want.

Greetings and salutations all.  I've been a member for about 2 ½ minutes now, although I have been a member of Critical Hit for some while, (Same name, Different spelling).  I'm looking forward to my time on this board and getting to meet new players.  A few details about myself.  I've been playing and painting for just over 20 years now.  I've painted miniatures for a living for a company called Lancashire Games and recently won the 40k painting category at Conflict (Leeds) and was nominated for the Best Army category at a grand tournament (Came third).  I've also wrote a number of short stories for Critical hit which I will post here.  At the last Grand Tournament, I came third from the bottom, although if it wasn't for the points I picked up for my painting, I would have actually come last (Ah well).
So, thats me in a nutshell (What ever that means).

As Rasmus already mentioned, this site also has a sister site (40K.CA) that has forums available for all the other races of 40K. This board (amongst others) is shared with the 40K.CA forums, so be prepared to meet people here that don't play eldar. On the other hand, here we have the Eldar Forum and the the Eldar tactics, strategies and army lists forum, where there are an  abundance of eldar players.

Well, since it seems proper to introduce myself, here goes:

Hello. I am a new poster on this forum. I have been posting on some other 40k forums for some time, under a couple of aliases, but this one is the one I like to use most. Other forms of my alias include Hormagaunt (on Portent) and Sturgeon (on some other forums). As you can guess, I've been playing Tyranids before, but I grow weary of the unified mind.

I have just started my Eldar army. I've had the miniatures standing in a box for quite a while now, but I dug three rangers out on saturday and finally got around to painting them. I'll be doing a patrol force with rangers, jetbikes and vypers for a start, then expand to a highly mobile force to be used with either the Saim-Hann or the vanilla list.

I hope I can find useful background, ideas and support from this site, and also will contribute all I can.

Hello everybody!

I'm yet another newby  :o
Seems like a good place to restart an old hobby. I originally played WHFB (4th & 5th ed) but quit because of the many rule changes.
But it's such a fun game......
Oh well, guess I'm starting again, maybe with fantasy, maybe with 40k, I don't know yet. But if it's gonna be 40k it's gonna be Eldar!
Hope to learn something here and maybe contribute an opinion or two  ;)

Joined the hobby in 1997 I suppose and since then were hooked, although on and off. I have always been doing 40K no matter what people said on the game; 'cheesy, cheeky or for newbie/powergamers, prefers sword than guns....' 
I guess I just love the fluff and the models and since then i never turned back although I did contemplated to stop buying new models before my house is overflooded with unpainted or discarded minis ;) Glad to join the club and know ya all guys.

Post by: Telkin on December 11, 2004, 12:12:41 PM
This is my first post so I hope I will get everything right and on the right topic, but hey where else to screw up if not under "newbies"?

I have some questions regarding this site. I have been checking around EldarOnline, but that was a while ago and the site has really changed (d'oh!). The questions are as follows:

How much "under progress" is the site? Will there be major changes that are coming up that you can dream and hope for? Will there be a totally brand new site or will it look like the old one? (with "the old site" I hope you know of which I speak because I cannot describe it, really  :P)

My next question is this: How about the gallery? I have heard it mentioned under "modeling" but I cannot quite find it. I have tried to use the search function but it states "Error: You are not allowed to search for posts..". Is there an secret link I am unaware of? Using "secret" I am not saying a lot as I am, as mentioned, new to this place. As I am really anxious to see your beautiful artwork I really wish to find it! I could use some inspiration to get my own painting on the way.

the last question is about that error I encountered; why can I not use the search function? Do I need to get some experience so you know I am no twisted and perverted hellspawn using your site for my dark and surely very evil purposes, or is it just me that is too stupid to figure out how it works? Or something in between perhaps?

Well, anyway I hope you have patience with me and I will see you all around.

Oh, by the way,      Hello everyone!  :D
Title: Re: newbies
Post by: Rasmus on December 11, 2004, 12:30:33 PM
Welcome to 40konline Telkin! We hope you will enjoy your stay here!

The site is well under progress. That means that as of yet only the forums are up. The rest is coming along, but is not ready yet.

No, the gallery is in a seperate place on the site, apart from the forums, and it, too, is being worked on.

You have to be a member, and signed in, to use the search-function. It didn't work well during the last stretch of EO, but we hope it will get better, and more reliable now.

I don't know about the search function though, still ain't working for me... I am logged in and I am a member so I can't figure out what's wrong... Maybe the problem is with my own computer?

Anyway, how do you get to the galleries? I don't know if you can post links on the forum, but if doable please do so, I'm lazy  ;D

Hope to see you all around, keep on gamin' folks!

Hello.
I've just joined up.

I've only just started playing table top wargamming in the past 2 months.
I've got an Eldar army which started from a Battleforce set. I'm still building it up quite a bit.
I currently field 1000pts and am looking to move up to 1500pts soon.

I've had 5 games so far and had an arsekicking in all but the first one. :'( :o
Still I never expected it to be easy.

Just vanilla at the moment but I have lots of rangers and a blue an yellow colour scheme so I'll be going Alaitoc sometime soon.

I'm building a small, shooty, chaos space marine force so that I can play against my sons.
We're still playing 'last man standing wins' as we haven't got too far into the rules as yet.
Title: Re: newbies
Post by: Rasmus on January 3, 2005, 05:10:24 PM
Welcome to 40konline oscar! We hope you will enjoy the forums.
Once you start into the rules you will find that the missions (anything but last man standing) will add a lot of depth, and enjoyment to the games, and allows for a greater sense of accomplishment, and dynamics. "Last man standing" tends to be sort of routine after a while. You'll get to it when you get to it, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask. That is why we are here. :)

who is new at eldaronline

Just signed up. Been playing for 10 years or so, so I'm hardly new to the game, I am, however not used to the 4th ed rules. Though it poses little trouble for me. After all, I was used to games with Imperial assasins with vortex grenades, displacer fields with terminator armour og bikes, chaos lords with Khorne Termi armour, on discs of tszeench, with multimeltas and deamon swords, allying with Squat Runelords, and so forth.

Man oh man, were squats ever a failure. And the name alone inspires none of the dwarven feeling. Space Dwarves however, that might be nifty..

Greetings and Salutations.

  I am new to WH40K.  I have chosen to lead an army of Necrons to dominate the universe.  One 4x8 table at a time.
  They will vary in colours by model type.  I'm starting with warriors and Destroyer Lord in Black / boltgun / mithril.  The Mithril covered in red ink for a metallic red look on the armoured sections.
  I hail from Toronto, Canada.  I was introduced to this sport by a friend / business associate.  He recently started 40K with an army of Eldars.  I am a purchaser by day, and happy the rest of the time.  My Eldar friend bought me a bunch of Necrons and starter supplies for X-mas.  Now I'm trying to learn about this game.

I have searched extensively across the WW web, and this is by far the best 40K site/forum I've found.
Looking forward to reading all that you vets, and neophytes have to say.
And perhaps if I can contribute I'll leave posts along the way.

Some time ago I bought a few miniatures of SM (Thunderhammer Terminator and a tactical squad), painted them to various Chapters scheme (Blood Angels, Ultramarines and Black Templars), but I found it difficult to decide  which one to play with... some time ago, I decided to return to the hobby, and maybe finally start to play the game. I've visited the GW website, and I saw the wonderfull Deamonhunters army. I liked the Grey Knights from the old Codex Imperialis, but the new are just awesome!

My name is Darryl - Im old... too old.... (29)!

Ive been playing 40k since its inception all those years ago, and my first 'proper' army was Eldar Harlequins, which got lost in the midsts of time for various armies - in my time Ive collected 3 separate Space Marine armies (blood angels, Dark Angels, Ultramarines), Tyranids, Imperial Guard, and Daemonhunters!

Ive now come full circle, and Have started on a craftworld Eldar Army, which isnt even for me, its for my girlfriend, who wants to start playing, but doesnt feel confident to paint!

Look forward to sharing any sage advice on many things, be it painting skills, strategies or just gossip!

Hi All

Only just discovered this site so thought I'd join in here too, every board has something different to offer.

Me? I'm a veteran gamer, and a senior gamer I guess (by most standards). Been playing 40k on and off (more on than off) for near 2 decades now. Started in my mid-twenties and here I am approaching my mid-forties and still mixing it.

I've played a varied selection of armies during my time. At present I play (all points approx): Space Wolves (8000pts), Legion Of The Damned (2500 pts), Ravenwing (2500 pts), Imperial Guard Tank Company (3000 pts), Necrons (4000 pts), Chaos Night Lords (3000 pts) and Tau (2500 pts).

My pride and joys are my Baneblade and my recently aquired Warhound Titan.

Hope we can get something positive from each other, look forward to sharing opinions and ideas with you all.

Just wanted to say hello to everybody on the forum, atleast those of you who read this topic.
I am pretty much a noob at 40k, but I´m starting to get a hang of it.
The most interesting aspect of 40k to me is the loads and loads of backround information for all the armies, worlds and battles in the universe.

About my choice of army: I started of with a 1000pts Necron army but their style of play didn't suit me all that well, so now I'm building an Ork force.  ;D

See you all on the forums.

Welcome Spetzoo!
This is quite the auspicious beginning for you; reading the rules and following the procedure, actually posting here first and all.
Stay out of trouble now, or I will make your life difficult. You won't get to play twilight, or it might suddenly become very dark, and then comes....

(Don't worry folks, this one's a friend of mine. He's even dating my sister, who plays Dark Angels.)

hello everyone... this is my first post.  friend of mine convinced me to learn to play warhammer 40k or whmr40 as he like to say it.  so i was looking through the interweb for a rule book to kinda get an idea what was to happen but it seem i was out of luck but lucky for me i found this site.  after going through some posts randomly i found out that ppl are very helpful in this forum.  i been in other forum for other things and some ppl were not helpful.  im glad i found this site and im glad i signed up.  i hope to ask questions and get answers regarding whmr40k in the future.  thanx

Post by: highwarlock101 on March 2, 2005, 09:17:46 AM


Well, I guess I am very new and old at the same time.

Got out of 40k when second edition converted to the evil edition (3rd ed). (So called due to the fact I had an entire theme based army of ultramarine vetrans which was over 4,500 points! which became illegal).

I have recently been playing dark eldar to get the hang of 4th edition and I am experimenting with daemon hunters. My other armies include ultramarines (see above) imperial guard (mordian/praetorian) imperial guard (necromunda 8th spiders, if anyone still remembers those glorious days) I also have a soft spot for harlies and can remember playing with them legally in tournaments.

Very nice forum you guys have established here. I have found it very useful ,especially for dark eldar tactics. Well done.

I'm hoping to share some of my conversions with you all, it'll give me an excuse to take some pics of my extensive Eldar army.  I lost count around 4700 pts.

Ah, so that's what happened.  Interestingly, I just posting a rambling message about ol' Lovecraft on the "solipsism" thread.  Membership looks like it's going to be great, though after a period on the GW official boards, I was a bit put off from the idea.  This site seems to be of a higher intellectual calibre, which pleases me.

I find that pathetic.

I used to post there a lot, then Falhandir told me EO was back and I decided to see if it was any better (no edit button on the GW forums, honestly...) and it's turned out to be much better (and not just becuase of the edit button) ;D.

Too bad I never knew about EO's sister site (40k.ca?) as I only left as I gave up on Dark Eldar after the perve accusations got too much...

Anyway, wlecome to 40kO DenizenOfRlyeh ;D.

Hello, I am new to Warhammer 40k as of this year 2005 but not new to wargaming. I like the site! Plenty of knowledgeable peolple who are polite and more than willing to help the green horns!

Looking forward to being a regular member and picking up all that I can about the game: Playing, painting, and converting. Not just about my army but others as well, because you need to know the oppostion! :)

I have a SM army (started from my Macragge box) and DH GK force (because I like them!) both small but growing.

See you around 40kOnLine!

P.S. how do you get all the pictures in the posts, I see all kinds of buttons and knobs above but I dare not go there unless I know what I am doing! Any post up that I can look at to help with this.

Greetings

This is my first post here.  I'm sort of new to 40K but not GW (WFRP).  Only been playing for about 6 months now.  Currently doing an Eldar army (non-craftworld).  Eventually going to expand to Necron, though my wife is BIG into Orks (going for Regular, Speed Freaks, and possibly WildBoyz).

Anyway, introductions to all.

Welcome to 40konline Jareth Valar!

The few version of WHFRP is being discussed in non-40k gaming I believe, and your army in its forums. We have a forum for the orks too, of course...

Heyla!

Here’s another newbie checking in. My name is Grephaun, 20 years old, and living in Copenhagen, Denmark. I am new to this very interesting message board, though I’ve been lurking here a bit already. I have been into the hobby for about a year now. I play 40k, but have mostly been focused on the fluff of the 40k universe, so while my Warhammer book collection is all but complete, my army still needs a bit of work. Hopefully, I can find both advice for my army as well as a few good fluff debates here, and I am also pretty sure a member or two might recognise me from other Warhammer communities online. ;)

*Waves.*

Well, my lurking days had to come to an end eventually. ;)

Brand new to WH40K, but I like the look of what I see so far. A little about me... Born and raised in Liverpool, England, but have lived in Canada for 12 years now. I started painting D&D figures when I was 12 (19 years ago) and then moved onto WH fantasy figures (never played though). When the Lord of the Rings game came out I switched my painting allegiances to that (and started playing as well). I am still involved in the LotR:SBG community and play when my wife and two kids give me the chance.  ::)

I have known about 40K for many years, but never really got into it. I saw a few kids in the neighbourhood playing about a month ago and made a deal with them - I teach them how to paint, they teach me how to play.  8)

Waiting for my Battle of Macragge set now (oh the joys of eBay) and already planned out my first Space Marines chapter. Cash is in short supply right now (3rd kid on the way and need a minivan now), so I will have to put off making my Dark Eldar or Tau army for a few years though. :-[

Hi everybody!

I've been lurking for almost one month,and i've now decided to be an active member of 40k online.
Let me introduce myself,I'm 27,i live in Paris,and i've been playing GW games for almost 15 years.
My very first passion was WHFB,but after 10 years, i got tired of this game.
Since then,i've been playing WH40k,i'm the general of a necron army(2000pts),and of a deathguard army(2500pts).
See you on differents topics!

Regards,Marbrothrax.

Rather then start a new thread I shall help make this one longer!

Ok that was Random,

Anyway, I just Joined today, and rather then dive right into an assault on a thread I figured I'd make my first post an intro one!

I currently (and prolly always will) Play Space Wolves (non 13th Co) and I love em'

My only foes at the moment are

Daemonhunters
Tau
Tyranid
Necron - my friend just got his codex so I've played them uh... once with Tau as proxy warriors!

I'm an obcessed Strategist, I think I read like 5 times more tacics and theroy before each game then the last, and so far there has been some good stuff here.

I've been playing off and on for about a year, and as of yet in about 15-20 nobody has beaten my wolves so my friends call me cheesy but whatever, I'm having fun!

I'll prolly haunt the 40konline boards a few times a day, so anyway.

Heylo, I love you all...ahem...sorry.

 ;D ;D ;D ;D

Um I'm Linus, I'm from the south-east of England, Southend to be precise. I started 40k about 6-7 years ago with chaos, then I started playing BFG and necromunda. But due to ongoing exam pressures I quit to revise fully.... But........duh duh duh.......... I'm back! I picked me up a Dark Eldar box set a few days ago and am currently trying to get my army ready for the summer campaign.

Umm other stuff I like: Ice cream (rasberry ripple rules!!), I've been doing archery, Wing Chun Kung Fu and Ninjitsu for 4 years (I'm so good, gimme 5 minutes and I'll take down a bloodthirster). And I'm the most amazing magician you'll ever see, sorry to be arrogant, but really, I am!! I've been doing magic for about 11 years (since I was 5) and I do street shows on Southend Highstreet with a bunch of circus performers. So if you're ever round here come and see me performing, don't know why you'd wan't to be in Southend though.

Title: Re: newbies
Post by: wper34 on May 10, 2005, 01:50:39 AM
Welcome to 40K Online! ;) (First time I get to say this officially in this thread)

Enjoy your stay around the forums. The best way to learn is to grab the 4th edition rule book & have a quick read through the content. If you still do not understand something, just ask by posting a thread in "Rules and Questions" forum. That is where a lot of questions about certain rules & such are being answered...

And not to worry about being new. There are a lot of new people to the WAR 40K universe as well. (Me for about 2 months after getting into the game)

Anyway, Have around all of these forums! :)
Title: Re: newbies
Post by: Rasmus on May 10, 2005, 02:58:10 AM

I am new to the forum. So greetings to the elder.

I am from Germany, pretty much right in the middle of Germany.
Have been owning 40k miniatures for about 16 years but never played really. Started with a couple of Marines and now own about 4000p. in Eldar. Played my marines once in 2nd ed. and lastyear once my Eldar in 3rd. against nids.
I am now hoping be playing more frequently, to enhance my Eldar and rebuild my Marines.

Title: Re: newbies
Post by: wper34 on May 18, 2005, 10:02:11 AM
Well... I shall... Welcome to 40K Online first then! ;)

Not too worry about being fluent or not with the WAR 40K. I myself have just started playing the game about 3 moths ago this year so I can be classified as a sort of Newbies in a way. There are lots of helps & many kinds of opinions around the this community to help you get around with the WAR 40K. I also have lots of things to learn as well.

It is a good idea to ask when you are uncertain about something OR just ask for ideas about certain things by making a new topic. Please be sure that you did have a look around the forum a bit if there is already a topic on the subject you want to ask. This way you can learn quickly... (I learned a lot from not hesitating to ask questions or presenting my ideas & such to the topic :))

And enjoy the forums!

Erm, I think I'm behind a bit, but I used to play space wolves mainly. Always did like the style they had, although the rules were waay over the top, by far one of the nastiest armies around. Did a bit of experimenting with other armies but they never did last fo some reason...

I don't really know much about them, but if you decide to go back & play them... You could make a new topic to ask for advice about how to use them in the 4th Edition. Not too worry about being behind for whatever reasons. There are lots of newbies around the boards who just started playing WAR 40K or some players who do not understand a few things, etc...

Basically, there are all kinds of people from all ages. I myself just started off as a noob in Imperial Guard (IG) & WAR 40K about 3 months ago. (Straight to 4th Edition & IG is my 1st army)

If you are not what army you want to play... Then you could also make a new topic in "Beginners and Newbies" Forum to ask about opinions for what army you could try to play. It would be a good idea to know what styles you are looking for a bit or have some ideas of your own...

So don't be afraid to ask anything. We are here to provide support for all players. ;) (Again, expect to see all kinds of reaction in the posts you would recieve from different people)

You like Tau? You should talk to Or'es, although he's not around much anymore, he's a pretty hard-out Tau player.

Just got onto the site tonight, and like it so far. Just gotten back into Eldar for the first time in ages too (Ulthwe for the first time - used to have Biel Tan & Iyanden a while back) and I'm loving the amount of Space marine butt I'm kicking!

Bonjour,

I believe that the edequate thing to do is fill everyone in on a little personal history about myself...
Well, for starters I'm an 18 year old French Canadian, and I point this out, not only as a small matter of personal pride, but mainly because I would have to ask everyone to excuse me if I make a few stupid English spelling mistakes once and a while (and also, as seen in the photo below, it tends to be apparent in some of my paint-jobs).

I've been a member of another forum for about a year or two, but no longer attend as my interrest in the given subject has gone horribly dry...
As for Warhammer 40k, I've been playing for about four years. Four years as a Tyranid player and in the last year I've made enough money to buy what is necessary to create a reasonably strong Imperial Guard force with Witch Hunter allies.

Asside from that, I guess it would be nice to show you all what my painting style looks like, so here's a my Saint-Celestine I bought and painted for the pure hell of it.
I hope that I'll be of good use around here, as I am an old Tyranid player, but I must confess, I'm really a newb. when it comes to the Imperial Guard.
(Never have I seen so many guns in a single army!)

Welcome to 40K Online! ;)

Not too worry about your English. My English is not that great either. (I am from SE Asia... Currently in England) This community has many different kinds of people (Both guests & members) from around the world who look into these forums.

So you used to play Nids (Tyranid)? They are getting their new models very soon... And you are currently collecting IG (Imperial Guard) & WH. (Witch Hunter)

I must say that 4 years is a long time of gaming. (I only just started this year about 3 months ago with IG being my 1st army)

but I must confess, I'm really a newb. when it comes to the Imperial Guard.
(Never have I seen so many guns in a single army!)

You can always have a look into IG forums.  ;) We have many great IG players who can give you advice in many things. Whether they are about modelling, ideas, army concept, fluffs, tactics, etc... Don't be afraid to ask or post any questions in there as you can gain a lot of useful info from the forums. (At least I will help with what I can)

As for the pics... That is sweet! :D I like the look of her. I must say that it is one of the good model you made there...

Anyway, this is a great community where all members are willing to help you in many ways. If you have any questions... Just ask. :)

Enjoy your time here...

I've taken a good look at the Imperial Guard boards and had no problem recognising the veterans and I love the tactics section! It's very helpful!

Thanks for the compliment! Saint-Celestine (a.k.a. "Joan Of Arc") is one of my better minis, although, despite the fact that this will take at least a year, I've decided (and have started) to paint my whole I.G. army with that degree of care.

Thanks for all the kindness...now let's hope that I don't get too clumsy today...

Figured I would make my first post in here. Just to say Hi and all.

I play Tau (only had about 4 games with my Flatmate who plays Ulthwe'). We both started collecting about 3 months ago. Having a game this weekend against another mate who is unbeaten in 16 years and seems to be respected as a good player (ie wins due to skill and tactics rather than cheesiness). He plays a Blood Angels army.

Currently I am running a list of about 1300-1400 points, gradually growing as the money comes in. I will post it in the appropriate forum soon to get comments.
Title: Re: Welcome all Newcomers!
Post by: wper34 on June 2, 2005, 08:35:33 PM
Welcome to 40K Online! ;)

A Tau player, eh? Nice to meet you... I did think about playing Tau a few years ago as one of my friend suggested me to play Tau, because I like shooty style of combat. (Rain them with some shots from your love! ;D) But I chose to play IG instead as I prefer horde army. (And it is shooty)

Anyway, this is a great community where all members are willing to help you in many ways. Whether they are about fluffs, painting, tactics, army list, etc... There are also other forums for you to relax like the Space Tavern. Discussion Board for discussing about certain non WAR 40K issues. Konversion and many other forums.

If you have any questions... Just ask. :)

Most of all... Enjoy your time here...

Nice to see you, Karthara... I have not really seen many female players in WAR 40K. There are some players that I know somewhere around the Eldar forums...

So you play Orks? They are really fun & I like them as well. (Thinking about playing them after I have done my Guard armies) All members in this community can help you out with many things especially the Orks Forums where you might be heading soon...

Hi I'm new to the forums, but not new to gaming. I currently have a 1500 or so imperial guard force. There's not much to say about me. I'm just looking for fellow players. Btw I am a mini converting fiend. My army is full of conversions and scratchbuilt minis. But I'm hoping this will be a funny and interesting forum. Thanks.

Welcome to 40K Online! ;)

Nice to see another Guard Player coming to this community... We have one of the great IG boards in here. Please feel free to head down there & report to the officers.

And there are also a lot of things you can do around here as well other than the IG boards.

If you have questions... Just ask. All members can help you in many ways especially the IG boards. Whether it is about fluffs, tactics, ideas, army concepts, names for certain things, or even modeling opportunity of the IG units...

And enjoy your time here...

Welcome to 40K Online! ;)

Although the boards are more based on WAR 40K, this community does have the place for discussing non-WAR 40K games. (Command and Conquer "Tiberian Sun", eh? I used to play that game long ago...)

If you have any questions... Just ask. All members can help you even with things that may not be related to WAR 40K. There are also other places for fun like the Space Tavern or just discuss things around the discussion board.

Enjoy the forums here...

(Do you actually play WAR 40K? If yes... then what army?)

I've made a few posts but though I should introduce myself properly. I am FoxC, I've been playing 40K since 2nd Ed came out, took a break from gaming for a few years as no-one around me was gaming anymore and have started up again recently with my undefeated Black Legion (based of my Dawn of War army composition) and now looking at an Alaitoc army. I also play Warhammer and have TK and Tzeentch Beastmen. I read all the DE stuff on Eldaronline a few months ago when I was looking into a new army but am looking to play the good guys for a change so have been getting good advice from you people for my Eldar army. Hoping to lay the smack down on my friends Nids in a few weeks.

New n00b in town...

I just started playing 40k. Hurrah for me. I'm a longtime nerd, and recently decided to add 40k to my list of obsessions (*ahem* hobbies) Unfortunately this now includes an unhealthy number of videogames, anime, RPing, and MtG. I also had, some years ago, a nasty experience involving a fad, a CSM predator, Abaddon, and total ignorance of any painting/hobby processes. So, I quit, promising never to let myself be sucked in by the cool minis, because I couldn't afford them on top of my other hobbies, or do them justice.

Then a guy moved into our school who played 40k, and since our school has a total geek population of about 3 (including myself) there was nobody to play with him. So I decided to start playing Tau, as they require a certain ammount of finesse to play, and have damn cool minis and fluff (I really didn't feel like being the typical SMurf playing newbie who doesn't give a damn about the hobby). I've also convinced two others to play DH and Tau

So I've spent the past few months lurking on these boards as well as Tau online, getting familiar with Tau tactics, modelling and painting, and rules (haven't been able to play many games yet, unfortunately).

I just figured I might as well get it over with and register today. So here I am. Ta-Da!
Title: Re: Welcome all Newcomers!
Post by: Inquisitor Yoda on June 7, 2005, 05:56:20 PM
Hey, welcome to 40kO! Hope you find yourself some nice tactics and help here. I'm sure the Tau board will help you with stuff, and don't forget to check out some of the other boards like video gaming and the tavern!

Welcome to 40K Online! ;) (Lurking around for quite a while, eh? ;D)

That is pretty nice of you (And your other 2 friends) for getting into this hobby so that the new guy can get to play WAR 40K... This hobby & the game is pretty fun once you get into it. Not to mention that modeling itself is an art in which it is beneficial as well... Tau is a nice shooty race with their Kroots ally.

This is a great community as you can see. If you have any questions at all... Just ask. :) I am sure that all members can help you getting started with Tau...

Anyway... Enjoy your time here...

I've been playing an Eldar army for a couple of year, but as I do not play too much I'm not that good ::) My name refers to the name of the Craftworld I created for my army.

I am not new to W40K, but it has been some time (since the beginning of the third edition) that I didn't touch a mniatures game, so I am a bit rusty  :-\.

I hope I'll be able to play more than before and eventually post some tactics/tips around.

BTW, really nice forum and community (I have been reading the forum for a month now, and didn't have the nerve to join  :-[ ).

BTW, really nice forum and community (I have been reading the forum for a month now, and didn't have the nerve to join  :-[ ).

Not too worry about being rusty & getting back into the game... All members in here can help you out in many ways. Whether the thing is about rules clarification for the 4th Edition or discussing about certain tactics within the correct forums.

And yes... This is a nice community. And don't be shy or afraid to post anything in here. :) You will get a lot more out of it than just looking at the contents being shown. Participation in active posting can help you learn about certain things quickly from other people reactions. (Well... There are all kinds of people in here so you should expect many kinds of posts & reactions) I used to post & made some mistakes as well, but I learned from that! :D

Anyhow, glad to meet you & see you around the board. If you have any questions at all... Just ask. :) I am sure that all members are willing to help you...

Well... Welcome back then! And I would suggest the same thing as what omnivision6 said... "Ignore those kind of people" As for the painting... I am pretty bad at that as well. ;D But I like more of the gameplay area than the painting & modeling. (Actually, I like modeling too)

I bought my son a box of Guardians and Eldrad for Xmas, cos he was really interested. But he's bored with them already, and they haven't been out of the box for six weeks.

I'm trying again tonight.

Any tips on how to get my wife to play would also be appreciated.

Anyway, 88 (as 'he' was 'affectionately' called) was a bit on the seedy side to say the least and had an unfortunate, albeit deserved end, although 'he' was still quite cool. :'(

Ah well... for the sake of finality, the series goes like this:

Dark Forces > Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight > Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith > Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast > Jedi Knight: Jedi Acadamy

8t88 was in DF2:JK. He didn't kill anybody... himself. He was just a pretensious know-it-all that hung out around Nar Shaada and sold information on the black market.

There you have the IMHO greates Star Wars computer game series for those who have not experienced its greatness. Now that I have driven this discussion utterly off-topic and given the false impression of being a hopeless Star Wars fan boy, back on topic...

Hey davixs, welcome to 40kO! Check out the marine forums for anything you need for your wolves and have a great time here :) Don't forget to visit the other places too like the Tavern and the modeling sections.

Hey guys. I've made a few posts so far which I've tried to put some time and thought into. I really like the fluff of the Kill Team and Combat Patrol missions, which works out well since I can't really afford a full scale army right now anyway.  :P I like Space Marines a lot, but also think Eldar are really, really cool and I would definitely play them were I looking to build an army.
Title: Re: Welcome all Newcomers!
Post by: Inquisitor Yoda on June 20, 2005, 06:27:23 PM
Hey, welcome to 40kO ;D

Enjoy the forum and I hope you have a long and interesting stay here.

Eldar are a good choice for an army, if you do then I hope you have fun playing with them. Otherwise have a great time with the kill-team stuff.

Hi i wonder if there exist an Kill Team Topic here in 40k online?
Title: Re: Welcome all Newcomers!
Post by: Rasmus on June 21, 2005, 02:25:17 PM
Welcome to 40konline Stalking!

Yes, there is one in General 40k, but if you need army-specific advice I suggest you look in the respective army (or army tactics where applicable)-forum.

hi

i been a member for quite a while(9 weeks i think) but i have never properly introduced my self.
i have played iron warriors for 6 years and have been an eldar admirer ever since i first saw painted harlequins.

I have a wide knowledge of basic code and in dire need of an outlet for this.
I have quite a lot of army specific rosters made for MS word but have no way of hosting them.

By the way I'm 16  and i like Jimi Hendrix.

Welcome to 40konline Newtslayer the lowest of the slayers!
I would suggest you shorten your name a tad, as a name that long tends to disrupt the flow of text on the boards, and this is something that will be a problem later on.

Heya Finnaly got an avatar, been posting a month or two, supose I had better introduce myself.   :) For tax reasons you understand

22
Male.
Nurse.

I play Adeptus mechanicus (LatD) and Rogue Traders (IG)

Im a total devils advocate, I always want anything I cant have (or there are no rules for) I can never have an unconverted model in my army. I enjoy doing volenteer work with the handicapped but laugh at poor people. (though im not especialy middle class or anything, anybody pooer than me shall we say)

I enjoy telling people a little too much for them to be comfortable, I am a bit of a saidist and love to make people squirm (metaphoricly  :-*)  I am attracted to highly neurotic or dysfunctional people (as friends and girlfirends) I attract only married women and 40 year old closeted men in new orleans.

I cant stand to be photographed and I enjoy clicking the refrech button for hours to see if anybody has replyed to my post.

... :-\

Oh and I have incredible mood swings, but only two settings: Hyperactive bunny pumped full of amphetamines and lithium OR a hypersensative little girl who in my head wears a sailor fuku and just wants everybody to love them.

I hug my freinds constantly

 :)

   1. I said "don't hesistate to ask" not "I will personally answer anything you ask".
   2. If you want to continue this further, take it to PM
   3. I am not always set to busy. You are just unlucky. If you are truly that interested you can just persist and your luck will undoubtably change.

Like cubbie I have been cruising this site for a long while (Back when this was Eldaronline).  I am a heck of a lot younger than most of you (I'm 14).

And you can tell from my signature and current screen name that I play the Craftworld Eldar.  Can't wait to get some new models down in San Francisco.  The prices up here in Canada raised a bit (in fact $2 more for the Farseers, Warlocks and Aspect Warriors...bummer.)  I could always try Ebay though  :).

I enjoy long walks on the beach, Star Wars and Starcraft (hence my name), and some other stuff.  Oh yeah, 40k too.

I became interested in 40k about last October, when I downloaded the Dawn of War demo.  Have the game, wish people on Gamespy were better.  Got the starter set in April, still have to paint all the models.   ;D

So um, that's about it.

I found GW first time round at school but discovered things that needed my money far more urgently and have only recently returned to the hobby.

I've started a small Craftworld (Reia) and will be getting some games in soon, I hope.

Will also be entering the Fluff competition as I've a couple of stories nearly complete, all I need to do now is choose which one is better!

Post by: Icarus with Servo Arm on July 10, 2005, 06:00:45 PM
Hello all. Just joined today, I will try to contribute when I can.

EDIT:

Some background:

Well, I started collecting 40k back when pink horrors split into 2 blue horrors. But I started playing since 1999, and began first with Thousand Sons. Then I discovered how many World Eater and Blood Angel players there were, and I switched to Iron Warriors as I hated the assault rules back in 3rd. Later on, I also collected World Eaters, Death Guard, and Emperor's Children. I also complied a armybuilding FAQ for new players, and hopefully will eliminate some of the more basic questions new players ask. I always wanted to do something with Iyanden, but the cost of the Wraithguards concerns me. Oh well, time will tell.

More EDIT: This site has got the best design I have ever seen. The panel on top rocks!

Hi everyone. I am going to take the first steps to starting 40k by ordering the battle for macragge sometime this week. I do know alot about Warhammer 40,000 though. I don't know what army I will be but it most likely will be I.G or Dark Eldar. Edit: Oh, and I'm also considering Eldar.

Hello all,
I haven't played Eldar for very long, bout a year off and on depending on how often I get to the local game store, I've played vanilla smurfs before that (Standard Space Marines that is. ;D). I probably have an atrocious win loss ratio, but I'm having fun. No matter that I usually have to take more figs off the table in the middle of the game than my opponent. Ah well my first post and I'm rambling. ROFL
take care and have FUN,
Chonrad
p.s. I actually got best general just recently in a very small store tournament. Yes, all things are possible in an infinite universe. especially when you have starcannons on a pair of falcons.  :D

Welcome to 40Konline you two! ENjoy your stay here :).

@eggmcmuffin: If you ever decide to start playing a lot, don't forget to check out the Dark Eldar, Tau and Inquisition forums here for some nice tactics and discussions.

@Chonrad: Don't worry about your win/loss ratio (ok ... you weren't I know, but I still wanted to say that ;)). Things get better over time when you start to know more and more details about your, and other people's armies. In addition, don't forget to post your army lists in the army specific boards for an in-depth review of everything that could possibly go wrong with that list ;D.

Have fun, and see you around!

Hello all.  I actually posted here before the server crashed, but since my posts and account got sucked into the warp, I figured I may as well introduce myself again.

I'm from Houston, TX and I just started playing Warhammer about a week ago.  I'm about as newbie as you can get, never having played 40k or even regular Warhammer before.  I've been browsing the site as well as various guides in an effort to prepare, which led me to sign up here.  My army of choice is Chaos Space Marines... although I don't even have my figures yet  :(

But I'll have them soon eough.  Anyway, it's nice to be here.  See y'all around.

Enjoy the COmmunity but pay no attention to Yoda. He just likes changing the icon every once in a while. There are few guys like that around here. Don't suppose gender based on a symbol (or indeed picture, or attitude) on the internet, or in this place.

Title: Re: Welcome all Newcomers!
Post by: Aldrith on August 24, 2005, 04:28:03 PM
Well, here comes yet another drop in yet another message board ocean.

I have heard about and been interested in Warhammer 40,000 for about a year now, but only recently have I started to actually become involved with it. My first army is beginning to form; a tiny band of Eldar, still bare pewter and plastic, and my two best friends eagerly await my appearence on the battlefield. Yes, Aldrith is a n00b indeed.

I joined this message board because I am a relatively isolated player. I only have two friends who play the game, one of which is just as new to WH 40K as I am, and I would like very much to be able to confer and commune with others more experienced than myself. But this is not the only, or even the main reason why I joined the board. I could just simply learn by reading the posts, after all.

Really I joined because one part of this place caught my eye: the Fiction board. I myself am an aspiring novelist, but the fact of the matter is that I never have had a true motivation to write. In the past I have only written creativly for school projects, only toying with short poetry on my own. I recognise that if I am to realize my ambitions I must find a drive to write, and the only way to do this is by having fun with it. This is where 40K Online comes in. What I'm thinking is that the best place to start would be to delve into the rich and imaginative universe of my newfound hobby. So, here I am. Now, I haven't started on any stories yet, but I do have many ideas. I just hope that some will manage to blossom into something you all will like. And even if they don't I will learn from my mistakes.

Thanking you all in advance,
Aldrith

Hello all.

I've been playing 40k for a few months now, assembling an army of marines in late June, painting it and learning the rules in July while also playing some test matches down at our club, getting my arse solidly handed to me every time. Entered my first tournament in early August, and to my surprise I finished in the top 10.

But I was always aware of the fact that marines would not be my first choice, indeed I only picked that army because of its kindness to newbies, and it was good to learn the basics of the game with their reliability propping me up, making all the mistakes possible.

I am now the proud owner of an Eldar army, yes it's used, and painted by someone else, but at least it's Eldar. And really, there was never any doubt that once I learned there was an Elven army in this game it would be my home team, as it were. Even more so as its name alludes to Tolkien, another of my nerdy pastimes.

So here I am, a new Eldar player, experienced in many years of silent, deliberate brooding over hexagons, but now baptised in something reminiscent of fire and ready to challenge the rules of the mighty and strategies of the wise in this fascinating game, carrying the banner of the Calaquendi/Eldar as high as is humanly possible.

P.S. I'm not normally this haughtyj or pompous, but I felt that an intoduction on a forum seemingly dedicated to space elves warranted something a little out of the ordinary. I'll even keep off the four-letter-words.

Yep, we used to be called eldaronline until an expansion about nine months ago.

However, please make sure that you read the forum rules, particularly the part about copyrighted material. Many new members are unaware that certain things which affect GW's intellectual property cannot be posted here unless absolutely required for the purpose of a thread, such as point costs of individual pieces of wargear or models (unit totals are fine though), or rules and statlines except in a rules debate. Generally, if it can be avoided, it should be.
That's one of the things that are special about 40k forums like this, which many new ones don't know and subsequently they have unneccessary run-ins with the moderators ;) After all, hardly anyone really reads the rules before posting.

Welcome to 40K Online, Delirium! ;)

I am sure that you will find this friendly community a good place to discuss about WAR 40K in all many areas. There are also other places to do beside talking about WAR 40K. (Space Tavern, Discussion Boards, etc...)

And as Arcas said... Make sure you know the rules of the forums. Quite a lot of newbies to the boards do not know how to post thing appropiately.

If you have any questions about this community... Just ask! :) We can help you to get around the boards safely.

See you around...

Thanks. We'll see if I am able to contribute anything worthwhile to the forum, but it looks tidy enough to me so far. I only have the energy to keep up with one, maybe two different fora at one time, and the place where I used to devote my measly hours has quickly lost its appeal.

Hello everyone, im new to this forum, it was recommended to my by a good friend of mine. I always used the Librarium Online forums, but when i saw this one, it amazed me. This site is incredible. Loving the background section. The only specific fluff i know about is the Primarchs, i have a site with stories about all the primarchs, so feel free to PM me for it. Anyhoo ill stop ranting and get posting. :D

Greetings to all veterans and newcomers alike.  I myself am relatively new to the board and a bit shy on posting as well.  I have been playing 40k of and on for about 7 years, and since I joined the board, it inspired me to pick up my Eldar and keep going.  I must say I have seen some beautiful work in the way of painting and conversions on this board and it kinda humbles me.  ;D  I also have a 13th Company army that I inherited from a fried that I'm working on, so if anyone else plays them, I would love a PM with tips and suggestions.  Perhaps at some point I will post some pics of my work if I feel anything is good enough to share.  This is a great board with a lot of great, talented members.  I look forward to any advice/etc to any of my posts or questions. 

Glad to be here  ;D

Welcome to 40konline Teh_Primarch and No1ofConCQuence!
Enjoy the Community and all it can offer to you. If you have any questions please do no hesitate to ask.

Asking for PMs is not the best way to go about things though No1ofConCQuence. If you want answers; post your questions in the right board and people will answer you. That's the way the boards work, and why they are around in the first place.

Welcomm to 40K Online, Teh_Primarch & No1ofConCQuence! ;)

Do not fear about asking any questions by posting. Everyone has to start somewhere & noone has all the answers which is why we use the message board for discussion...

Take me for example... I only just started playing the game this year. (With Imperial Guard as my first army) I have been asking quite a lot when I was a newbie. Now I can even help out other newbies thanks to this community. :) Not to mention that I also might start the other armies which, of course, makes me newbies to that army. (And then I will have to go & ask about the army I am interested)

To simply put... Just ask! Noone will make a fool of you. Quite often you will get more out of this place from people discussions. (And do not be afraud to take part in posting)

Anyhow... Enjoy your time here! *Back to the Spcae Tavern for Anime Club* ;D

Title: Once More Into the Breech!!
Post by: Black Sword on August 29, 2005, 08:00:51 PM
Greetings,
I'm new to 40K and new to this list.  I think boards are great tools for any gaming community, and I know they've helped me in other games.  I must say that I'm quite impressed by the attention provided by the mods on this board, and although I haven't browsed much (yet), I think it speaks well of what I will find.

I used to deny my geekness -- indeed it remained dormant for many years.  Growing up, I loved comic books (back then, all Marvel -- later, Starslayer, Jon Sable & American Flagg, Judge Dredd).  My family played lots of family games. 
....Then came college...
I played D&D before it had numbers after the name (All weekend with four others with pizza and beer in studio apartment).  I found an interesting Apple IIe game called Wizardry.
...Then college took a back seat to work (VERY training intensive).... 
Several years later, a colleague said "There's this cool new card game call "Magic" that you should try."  Infected!!  We played clandestinely at lunch for awhile, and I even hosted some friends at my home for a sealed event.  But that fell away when my friend left to work somewhere else.
...Then marriage (and kids?!?!?)....
A friend and I were talking about the Dark Tower and Tolkien.  He loaned me a book by George R.R. Martin called "A Game of Thrones."  I loved it.  He said "you know, there's a card game based on that."  I was infected again!  I've been playing the Fantasy Flight game for at least a year and a half.  I even bought into their newer Call of Cthulhu card game.

((Hey! What does this have to do with 40K?!?))

OK, I'm getting there.....

I found out my wife isn't entirely put off by this stuff.  She even enjoys going to ren faires and encouraged me to buy a costume.  I may have done well with this marriage thing...

I started buying these cool looking things called Heroclix.  Comic book heroes, small and nicely detailed.
 
((OK...at least those are minis....))

My oldest son (currently 10) said to me, "dad, isn't that a game?"  That was it... Heroclix, Mage Knight and Mech Warrior invaded.  My wife, although patient, made me promise to keep it "contained."  We went to KublaCon 2004, and my oldest and I had a blast. The younger son couldn't be bothered with it at all... When I started packing for GenCon SoCal, my wife said "Kubla was only across the bridge.  If you go to LA for a gaming convention, you are officially a geek."

I'd seen all of these minis games around the edges of all of the stores and events.  In the old D&D days, I proved to be a horrible modeller, and an even worse painter.    I demo'd Warmachine and liked it, but I knew my units would be miserable.

Then came KublaCon 2005........
"Dad, I learned this COOL game in the Young Players' Room" said my 10 yr old.  This was of course after sorting through 100's of our MW pieces for the Con events (and scores of others for my MK events).
"Really?" I knew this was not going to be good.
"Yeah, it's called 40K."
Hmmm, this was the one modelling mini game that actually intrigued me the most.  But, I had to remember the capital outlay (not to mention the real estate, and the matriarch).
"Oh, no... Sorry buddy, but you have to build and paint everything. It's much more complicated than Mech Warrior, and the games are longer."
"But it ROCKS! We used these guns called multi-meltas and we destroyed this big pod ship that coming down to kill our space marines.  They have a starter set that's only $45 here at the Con.  I'll use my own money for it.  It's call Battle for Macragge."
I had secretly always wanted to play, and this might be the excuse.  How to deal with the building & painting (and the wife)?
"Who will you play against?" I love asking kids leading questions.....
"You, of course." He looked at me like I'd grown a tail.
"Well...ok...I guess so.  But you have to paint your own stuff."
"OK, but you can help me, right?"
"I doubt it.  And you can't build something new until the box you've opened is built and painted."  Actually, so far that rule has held.
"OK, what army are you going to play."  Now, there's a good question!
"I'm not sure.  I heard there's one that has knights...Oh, don't tell your mother.  Let me tell her." (eventually)

So, there's the story.  My son currently has a 500 point SM army painted, and is working on a land speeder.  I secretly bought him a bunch of stuff and it's hidden in the garage.  Once he's done with his LS, I'll ask him what makes sense next for his army, and it may "appear."  All I have to say, is eBay is great for not having to pay retail...

He's played once at a *great* program at a local store called "40K for kids" and once at a BnB at the local GW store.

As for me?  I found I can often find the units for my fledgling Daemonhunters and Witch Hunters armies on eBay.  My rule of thumb is that if I can find what I want assembled and at least primed for the same cost as retail plus tax (plus a buck or two), that is definitely worth it.  As I've aged, my modelling and painting skills have just gotten worse...... I've played one 500 pt game against another dad at the kids event (his first game too -- he had a Tau army), and once at the BnB with my son last Saturday.


I used to be shy about posting on forums (yeah, right!).  Now I figure people read what they want.  I plan to read a ton of stuff here, and ask the normal, n00b questions.  I hope I haven't bored anyone (if you've read this far!), and thanks for the great place for people to talk about this game.

Welcome to 40K Online, Black Sword! ;) Quite a story you have there for getting into WAR 40K...

Ahh... :D Don't be so shy about posting things. One thing I can say is that you tend to get a lot more info from taking parts in posting & having conversation with other members in the community. And do not be afraid to ask any Noobs questions!

Whether you are new to the game OR having played for quite a long time, we can always have talk about certain things in WAR 40K. That is what this community is about...

I used to be a Noobs myself. (Started 5 months ago with IG as my 1st army) I just happened to find this place & look around quite a lot. Then I started posting things to ask about the areas I want to know. In the end... I got quite a lot out of this place. :)

Anyway... Please do make sure that you read the threads about how should you behave in this community as quite a lot of newbies to the forums do not know how to behave. And of course, if you have any questions at all... Just ask! :)

Lastly, see you around the boards!

Stick to the rule.  I have far too many assorted bits and bobs of models ranging from still on the sprue, half undercoated, half made, half painted ...

If you ever need any help with IG, you can always pop by the IG boards... I just would like to tell you that we have one of the great IG boards here in this community.

There are also many other things you can do here as well. Like checking out the painting forums, looking at people art works, having fun & chilling out in the Space Tavern, etc.

Anyhow... If you have any questions as a newbie about this community at all... Just ask! :) I am sure that many of us are willing to help you even if you ask very simple questions.

Hello Magnus and hello to all the wargamers out there.

I am Jehoel (The name for the angel of presence. Chief of the seraphims and the "one who holds the leviathan in check"  ;))

This is my very first post. I have been checking this webpage at least once a day since it was merely eldaronline, and now with this wonderfull new design I thought it was about time I joined you all.

I have been into 40k for about a year now and since I have the policy only to play with finished models I have only played one real battle yet. But I just love to paint my models so thats fine with me.

My main army is Eldar (how can you not love those guys).
Furthermore I have a beginning waaagh and some battlesisters (the order of the unsung heroes)

I hope I will like being a member of the site as much as I have enjoyed to be a guest here.

Welcome to 40K Online, Hashiba! ;)

Not too worry about not having a force of 500 pts... Some people actually come here to do something else beside WAR 40K.

I hope you will find this community a pleasant place & enjoy your time here!

Oh and I love the name 'Hashiba' sounds cool...and reminds me of food.

I think it sounds more like a Japanese name to me...

Just signed up, thought I'd say hi :D

I messed around with 40k about 2 years ago, just collecting anything taht looked cool to play. My interest sort of died out, only to be rekindled by Dawn Of War. I finally decided to collect Space Marines, and I am also learning how to play :D

So yeah, Hi ;D

Have fun, and don't be afraid to ask questions.

Hi all,

I've just signed up, I used to play 40k a while ago, back when 2nd edition was out, I had two armies, IG and Orks. During the last couple of months I've been getting back into warhammer thanks to a friend from work who's introduced me to he's gaming group. I must say so far the 4th ed rules seem really great a lot simplier anyway. I've started to collect Eldar this time around.

All you need to do is prove that, or rather not disprove it, then you should be fine.
We have, unfortunately, had incidents where people have flamed eachother and then cowered behind "he's my RL friend/brother so it is ok". Not that I think that you will, in any way, but I wanted to make sure you knew it was not ok. The rules apply everywhere, even with brothers.
It is all a bit of a joke, but a joke with a point.

In case your interested in which armies I play I currently have my Eldar (5 years and counting), Space Marines (ya I know, so cliche) and Lost and the Damned for 40K and Lizardmen for fantasy.

Hello Kikuchiyo i think I've seen you around here... Welcome to 40K Online. Yes, this place is friendly isn't it? That would probably be due to the Mods here who 'maintain the peace' and keep this place happy and well!

I know that 40k has changed since 2nd Ed. well thats from what I've read. Shame i missed it all :( sounded fun when the Shuriken catapults were more powerful then a bolter! :D But then again i'm sure there was a dark side to it :P

I collect Space Marines & =][= in 40K, and I have several Epic armies, in various states of construction and painting!  ;D

With =][=, do you mean the Inquisitor game, or the inquisitional forces in 40K? If the last one, do you play daemonhunters or witch hunters? Also, don't forget to drop in the space marine forum for advice or general chat on the imperium's finest.

Post by: Rasmus on December 17, 2005, 04:43:21 AM
We started out as EldarOnline, and a lot of the people played Eldar, but that is no longer case. Now the board is spread more or less evenly over a lot of armies, while some are less common, but still represented, like Kroots, Adepris Arbites, Squats, Harlequins and other rare armies. However, that is the topic for another thread, not this one.

Welcome to 40Konline Procris! Enjoy your stay here :D.

Don't pay too much attention to whether it says newbie or hero member above your avatar. Everyone that acts serious and mature will be taken serious ;). Also, in the game you'll lose the newbie feeling gradually when you get more feeling for the army that you play and start to learn how you should deal with certain threats.

I mean Inquisition forces in 40k.  My force is mainly Storm Troopers, though I've a squad of Grey Knights, and an Inquisitor for all factions.  I've recently converted a Death Watch Kill Team but have yet to paint it.

Thank for the warm welcome, anyway!  ;D

Don't worry about typing/writing things in the post you made as we (Well, most of us) can understand your meaning. It takes some time to actually be good in English while being able to communicate well enough in posting. There are also time when the others misunderstood from certain expression... (Yeah,that did happen to me sometimes)

But please don't be discouraged to post something. Anyhow, enjoy your time here, and we have plenty of places you can go to! Also, be sure to follow rules in the forums. (Often found in the stickied threads)

Hello All

I've been lurking as a guest for ages.....and then the site went down and I was surprised to find myself hit pretty hard by that.
So now it's back I've decided to try and become active so I've sorted out an account and I'm saying hello.

I'm sort of an old newb really when it comes to the game. I was around for rogue trader and started to fade out during 2nd ed... Missed 3rd ed completely and have now started easing myself back into the 4th ed rules.

Nice to see the site up and running!

I am a HUGE rule junkie. I own almost all of the Codex's and the 3rd and 4th Ed. rule books. I want to get my hands on the old Chaper Approved.

One thing I really want to play too is Necromunda.

In real life, I am 18, a senior in high school.

A belated introduction.

I go by CyclopsSlayer online, used to be Cyclops until it got too hard to use just that due to all the XMen fans, my usage came from 'Looking out at the world through a single viridian Eye' Yes, had that since the days of green screens, lol.

I started playing Warhammer with the oh so broken pre-RT rules, 3-4 booklets that let you create stats for any miniature as Citadel had yet to produce any figs. Ah, yes, the naked human with dagger for 0 (zero) points, with sling it was 1/2 pt. Anybody see a problem? lol  Went back to Napoleonics and Ancients...

A while after RT came out I started collecting Squats and later Genestealer cultists. When WFB came out I had a decent sized Slann/Cold One force. Collected those at least partly because they were armies no one else was using.

With 2nd edition I moved to Tyranids exclusively.
With 3rd I expanded my bugs and added Dark Eldar.

Then in 2002, what a bad year, my job of 22 years collapsed as the company went under and my skills were too specialized to get hired back in field, I went through a nasty seperation and divorce and the local group of gamers I played with moved/quit leaving me with just unknown faces at the local shop. Got out of gaming and EBayed my armies...

As of 3 months ago I am back and raring to go! Still have a bunch of my bugs that never sold, but no longer a single DE fig... :(  Bought a guys 3rd ed, unassembled Tau force and am expanding on that.  Just need to relearn all my painting skills...  :o

Greetings all. Just over from, well... other sites. I play Imperial Guard Mech list and a budding armored company. Just wanted to say hey.

My hobbies include wargaming (obviously) and drawing. I always look for sites with great artwork and I browsed the gallery here and am suitably impressed. I do some web comics from time to time (Tales of the Brewery, Out of the Patch (Formerly printed at Scimitar newspaper in Iraq (2005), and my current project ...Only War (40Kcomic)).

Additionally, I play WHFB (Dwarf and Slayer Army), am the Admin of Slayer Brotherhood Slayer Forum site (no links or spamming) and also admin Drawn of War (again no links or spamming).

Married with kids who are getting in to WHFB and 40K so I am training my replacement.

Hello out there. I've browsed though the site a couple times, looking for tactics to use with my army of Dark Eldar. I'm now assembling a SM army, since the player group I was with sort of vanished and I got tired of my losing streak (I only had 2 victories in 10-20 games, both of which were against the lone Eldar army in the group).

It doesn't help if I don't have anyone to play against, Tagnik'Zur. I seem to remember saying that the players I used to game with drifted away or something along those lines. I also live in a small rural community and am unable to legally drive, which has seriously hampered my ability to locate new opponents.

My current strategy is to lure in newbies by allowing them to play with or against my Kabal. Which requires a second army to play with since my DE warriors are painted in mostly the same colors. (And it also gives me something to do while I'm home alone.)

hey, this is DDanDevious... I just recently have gotten back into 40k after a short 8 or 9 year absence.  Currently working on a Tyranid army, which will be lots of fun I think... Ive spent some time browsing around the forums reading a whole lot, and i must say, I am impressed with level of maturity, humor and good nature... I was worried I was stepping into a group of elitist 40K players!  Ive been to a few game shops where 40K was being played and had been put off by the number of bratty, obnoxious 13-15 yr olds playing... this kept me from playing for a while, but this looks like a pretty cool groups of folks, and its really got me stoked to be back into it.  Ok, laters

Hey, all! Enigwolf here. DIY Chaos army, since early/mid-3rd ed. Scavenger of all things useless, like a turning one of those "stiff" plastic marines that came with the big boxed set into a corpse for my Terminator to step on. *snicker*
I've been looking about for a while, and finally decided to get off my bum to register here. Great articles and all, really helped some of my dilemmas. I'm planning on doing a Chosen article for the Chaos entry since no one's done one yet.

Anyhow, anyone know what happened to that old "Obliterate" website? It redirected here or something. Funnily enough, I followed a link from the ages-old/dead Dark Millennia website to somewhere that apparently did "short video clips of Warhammer 40k". And look what else the cat, or rather, the nurgling, dragged in. :P

In conclusion. Hello, world! :D

You don't really have to be a actual player to be in the Warhammer 40K hobby so even though you are currently painting, the Painting board could be nice if you require help or want comments. And the Marine and IG boards hopefully would be the place for you :)

Hiya, I've been lurking for a little over a week or so now and finally decided to start posting. I've got a 2500+ eldar army and a 2000+ classic Lizardmen army. I'm a half-decent painter, converter, artist and writer; but I haven't really done much warhammer or 40k stuff for the past five years. My kid brother recently got me re-hooked with the medusa V campaign.

Post by: Andalharan on October 14, 2006, 02:04:24 PM
Might as well get this over with...

Hmmm... where to start? Well, I've been playing 40k for a few years now. Started with (and still occasionally play as) Tau, grew tired of the Tau player population starting to get so durned Marine-like. I liked it when Tau armies were fluffy, not min/maxed to death. *sigh* Anyways, I picked up Necrons for a time, but "Unstoppable Killing Machines of Doom" got a little dull, so I've recently decided to give 'em a rest. Leading me to casting about for another army. When I first got into 40k, my friend who played (Smurfs and IG) warned me away from the pointy headed Eldar, but now, with a tad bit more experience under my belt, I find the Eldar a fun and effective army with well-integrated (well, better than most) background fluff. It also doesn't hurt that they have a new Codex and some sexy new models coming out. Ooooh... Shiny! So yeah, expect to see me hanging about the Eldar forum.

If you haven't noticed yet, I've played exclusively Xenos. I definately don't like the Imperium, and nothing, not even shiny new stuff, will ever get me to play any human army. Ever. So there. I also prefer to play armies that have some background fluff behind them, so often my lists tend to be a bit underpowered. I'l pick a theme and stick with it.

Anything else... hmmm... I like to use ellipses a lot while writing if 'ya haven't already noticed. I'm also a Star Wars fanboy, a Dune fanatic and an avid reader. I'm obsessive compulsive and an insomniac. I like cheese. I am heavily interested in biology and biotech, so it's amazing I've resisted collecting 'Nids... so far...

Well, y'all are probably getting bored reading all of this fiddle-faddle. So I'll shut up. For now at least. Really. I promise.

Wait! I almost forgot to mention why I came to this board! Well, I'm a member of several forums, including KT, ATT and CSG, and I have to say I was very impressed with this site as a whole. The here members are generally mature, thoughtful in their posts, and actually care more about the game then simply winning. Or maybe I haven't looked closely enough.  ;) The amount of discussion on fluff here is heartening. There's also very little of the gang-up-on-the-newbie-with-new-ideas mentality here, which is nice.

Well, I think that's enough for my first post, don't you? Hope to see you around.

I think I'm going to like you, well apart from the cheese bit, anyway, welcome to 40kOnline

Ah. I actually meant cheese, as in moldy cow juice. I forgot I was on a wargaming forum.  ;)

I think you and I will get along fine. Because if I'm placing your avatar and handle right, you're also a Neil Gaiman fan. Which means you rock.  ;D

Many welcomes FarseerJeff, welcome to 40KOnline :)

With the coming new Eldar codex, the boards would soon be swarmed with new ideas for our Eldar kin to use in battle. So feel free to join in discussions or post up your army list in the appropriate boards for helpful tips etc.

Have fun! ^^

Thought it was about time I said hello, so hello all!  Hope to collect all your souls in the future ^_^.

I'm starting a dark eldar army (well, I already have 500 points worth so far, and building quickly now holidays are nearly here) and love the fluff behind them.

So, again, hello to everyone and no-one in particular, and may your lives be long-lived and your minds go insane.

i'm new :D

Started looking at the game about 2 weeks ago, and after a first quite-expensive first purchase (roughly 150$), i'm starting to enjoy painting the little guy.

I took Necron, because i enjoyed their history, and liked the overall look of the army... But after painting 3 Warriors, i'm wondering if i wont grow tired of the black soon.

I'm in it mainly for painting (for now), but i think i'm gonna go watch a few games in the coming week to see if i want to play, or just keep on painting.
Title: Re: Welcome all Newcomers!
Post by: Jehoel on November 16, 2006, 02:16:06 PM
Welcome to the boards....

If you like the necrons and are in for the painting you should buy their codex. In there you will find some nice alternative paint schemes if you would prefer to avoid black colors...

Anyway have fun and I hope you will enjoy this place. Do not be afraid to ask if you have questions. Thats what we are here for

i looked at the codex today, and i must say that i was expecting more color.... does not justify the price tag right now...

on another hand, i think i like the color i made for my necron so far... at least, i think it look like what Necrons should look...

Can see the progress so far here : http://www.40konline.com/index.php?topic=125964.0

Hello!
Well, not really a newbie to 40K, but new here. Some of you may recognize my name from Asur.org or Asrai.org, and I am also known by the alias Ra´Meses on tauonline.

Anyway, I have shuffled my taus over to my son and started to assemble an eldar force (3rd pointyear force so far, but this time it is for space).

I also have some Sisters of Battle that waits for me to finish the paint job and some Imperial guards doing the same.

Nice place you got here, by the way!

Hello everyone.

I've been playing 40k for a couple of years now but I only came across this site about six months ago. I was a frequent lurker, reading other peoples posts but always to shy to join and make posts of my own.

Then a couple of months ago i joined but I was still to shy to post anything, silly I know. Then last night I finally made my first post. I now plan to post many more.

Mostly I play with Dark Eldar but I am slowly amassing an Imperial Guard army.

Anyway, I really enjoy this site and can't wait to become a bigger part of it.

Post by: Eosik-Karun on December 13, 2006, 10:34:02 AM
Cerka,

I'm Eosik-Karun (Fearsome Scout in Eldar*) aka Bill White in real life.  I'm a long time 40k player, I once had an old 2nd edition Eldar force but sold it.   ???

Then I got into Dark Eldar as they were cheap when 3rd edition was released.  I did well with them and enjoyed it greatly.  During that time I started collecting Eldar again.   ;D

After awhile, I got bored and sold off my Dark Eldar.   ???

I quit playing much but kept on collecting Eldar, love the Alaitoc.  I stopped playing around the time of the release of 4th edition.  I haven't even gotten in a 4th edition game yet! 

I have learned never to sell another miniature again however, I know I'll regret it if I do. 

Now, I'm just about finished painting my Eldar and have a desire to play again.  Hopefully I'll be able to find time to do so.  Funny how I've gotten older and now have money but conversly have no time!   >:(

I own or have played/play just about every miniatures game made, not just GW games.  Wow, I guess I'm an old timer nowadays...

*I pull a lot of terms from a now "old" English-Eldar dictionary (http://www.teuton.org/~stranger/ELDAR/English-Eldar.html) online, it's a cool site, to me anyway.

Woo I'm new.  I've never done anything table top before.  Kinda wandered on over to WH40K after liking the background fluff (I'm a dawn of war convert).  I'm currently getting a Death Guard army going since it corresponds with my major.  The only problem is no one i know plays it (wrong crowd for it, i suppose?) so I'll probably be at the mercy of the somewhat local shop.

40KO is packed with Articles for all races (last i checked) and are great fun to read and learn from. And if you require help in any aspect of this hobby, your welcome to ask in your own time and I'm sure you would receive a nice answer. :) The IG board seems rather fun to be around aswell :P

Welcome Hateloveblack!

Always good to see more women playing 40k, there's still a huge stereotype that it's just for us guys. Obviously you'll want to check out the Eldar boards for tips and advice from our many veterans (this did used to be an Eldar forum, after all), and if you want to find out about other races, just ask around in the respective boards.

Look forward to seeing you around, have fun!

I used to like it as a kid, then sold my 'nids and High Elves when i was 13.
               
Then before last Halloween, I took a fit in school (my first) and concussed myself.
I woke up face down in a puddle of blood, can't really remember what happened apart from
goin out again in the staff room and then being on the floor. I was in hospital for a week while they checked me out and i had a sudden unexplainable urge to collect Guard.
         Instead of spending my money drinkin every weekend I used it to build up the army.
I had forgotten the smell of plastic glue..... it was good to be back.

Btw, no fits for a month so i might be good for the rest of my life.

Hi, I'm a new player to this game.

I was introduced to this game many years ago and just recently revived my interest and started collecting and painting.

I'm raising 2 armies now, a Saim Hann and Ultramarines. Just got battleboxes of both these armies and some additional aspects warriors with termies and devastators and veterans. Enjoying painting them at the moment...

Hope to learn more about the game and to contribute! Thanks.

Welcome to the forum. :)
You'll find a heap of good stuff for both your armies around here. Don't be afraid to ask questions...most of us don't bite
There's cool painting and converting boards if that's what you're into at the minute.
And the Eldar can always use more bodies, so welcome to the fold.

Hi,

I´m new here and also in Warhammer 40 000. I´m intresed in it for over 2 years, but I haven´t collect it yet. I like strategy games, my friends have Tyrand army (+ some canon fodder (ehm ???) marines) and I realy like Gaunt Ghost´s novels...

So now, I´m going to collect Imperial Guard, becouse I like WWII armies with lot of tanks, soldiers, heavy weapons and so :).

I know this site for a some time, so  I decided to register here.

I hope that I will find there something new about WH40k and I will talk with other people (orkz, eldars, Tau...) intresed in it.  :)

P.S.: I´m sorry about mistakes, I´m not so sure in writing in english, but I read well (I hope :)) btw.: I´m from Slovakia (middle Europe)

Welcome to 40K Online, TorogTarkdacil! ;)

No worry about trying to communicate in English. It is not my first language either, but using it regularly does help improving it over time.

Anyway, glad that you decide to collect Imperial Guard. (IG) We happen to have a good IG community here. If you need any helps with your new IG army, just pop by the IG boards. We can help you in many areas as long as it is about Guard.

Also, be sure to read the forums rules. It is often a good idea to know what to do & what should not be done when taking part in posting.

Last but not least, enjoy your time here & happy posting! :)

Hi everyone.  As you can see, I've chosen Michael McNeil as my nick (kudos to those who get it), but folks usually call me "eek".  And various other things, but I won't go into that. :P

I've been collecting 40k for about 8 years now.  I started off with the good ol' Space Marines, and dived into a Black Templars army at the release of Codex: Armageddon (these guys are now being sold to fund my latest army).  Since then, I've drifted through WHFB (playing Empire and Goblins), back into 40k with Tau, spent some time in LotR, and now back once again with 40k, this time with the Imperial Guard, an army I've always wanted to try (but never had the cash).  All but the guard are in the process of being sold on ebay, so I can work on my latest army.

I've not been much of a gamer over the years, and I'm still the sort who has to flick through the rulebook every few minutes just to check.  Hopefully once I get this current force to a decent size I can change that, but I live out in the country, so there's few opponents to battle.

Anyway, I've heard good things about this place, and after having a look around I'm not at all disappointed.  I've learned quite a bit over a few days of lurking here, so I think I might just settle in for a spell. :)

If there's anything else you want to know, just ask. :)

Well thank you for having me on the forum, and its nice to meet you all. I hope to learn some things about 40k and my army. I am also into the painting part of the hobby is there a place to talk about that?

Thank you,

Hi All, I'm new here.  I've just started playing 40k within the last few months, just got my collection of Necrons up to legal army size.  I mostly like to read, comment on and post battle reports.

Hello all!

I just realized that I actually joined this forum a few years ago, when I first planned on playing  40k(I've been playing Fantasy for 14 years now), but I didn't 'actually end up getting into it.  This time, though, I definitely am, as I actually got the Rulebook, and the Eldar Army Box too!

Welcome to 40k online!  Be sure to check out the Mentor program (on the first page of this forum), and ask one of the eldar players listed there if you need any help getting started.

Ha! I forgot to post here when I registered. So this is a late hello to everyone.

Beware, I have arrived! Lock your guns and children up, I bring controversy! :P

I also just started on eldars. I used to 'collect' dark eldars in primary school, and I put collect in quotes. I'm in uni now, and got some money, so I just got back into WH40K. I like the eldars and their aspects, gives nice theme and variety, and seems just oh-so-cool to me.

And yeah, this HAS to be THE place to come for info and tips.

Hi, I joined last night and just found this board and decided that it would be a good place for my first post.

I started playing October last year but haven't got much money to buy models, so my army's pretty small.

This is the best place I've found for advice on 40k and am very pleased with the quality of the site

I hope to be able to contribute more when I have played more games and done more of my Bach. IT to help with some code.

Wellcome to 40konline, Doom Bringer, looking at your profile I see you play Space Marines, so the obvious first stop is the Space Marine board, where you'll surely be able to get some advice. You have inter-school tournaments? I wish we had the same down here in New Zealand.

And don't worry about sucking, everybody does in the beginning.

And don't worry about sucking, everybody does in the beginning.

Hi there,
I'm kinda new to this whole forum thing but I've been playing WH40k since the good old over-complicated days of 2nd edition. Its been a good while since since I last played a game so my focus has turned over to the fiction and design area.

This little community looks like a good place to share my ideas and maybe pick up some new ones :)

Hi all,

My (nick)name is Tagert, or Shaun, whichever is easier for people to remember. (Apparently there's another Tagert on this site somewhere, which shocks and astounds me!(I hope it's not myself from an earlier forgotten time.))

I'm from Melbourne, Australia, work in IT (Systems/Network Admin), 20 years old, blah blah, and played 40k quite a time ago. I have recently rekindled my interest in the 40k Universe due to a friend asking me to 'GM'(GameMaster, for those uncertain of the term) a 40k IRC based roleplaying game. Quite a challenge, when I haven't been into the system for a few years.

So I'm here to 1) Brush up on my knowledge and 2) Get some critique on some writing of mine. (Admittedly the second reason is more compelling to me than the first, though they tie together quite nicely.)

Wannabe author and all that! (I doubt anything'll ever get past the 'maybe' stage, but I can dream.)

Also, one can't pass up a chance to get to know people who share similar interests.

Anyway, first post away, I'll mostly be hanging out in the 'fiction' area for a while. Ta!

Hi everyone, my name is Sojung

I've been at the GW hobby since 1998 I think... can't remember... lol. I used to play a lot of games in Auckland, NZ, but with school getting harder and such and such, and other lame excuses, I stopped playing!

I had a break from the hobby since 2005-2006, but got back into it at the end of 2006... with the new release of the Empire army.

In terms of 40k stuff I have:
Space Orks 1500 (maybe even 2000) pts (this was my first army, so crap paint job and crap in all respect lol)
Imperial Guards: a new project I picked up to make colonial NZ army with Maori auxilary troops and moa roughriders... etc. etc. (it's taking a very fantasy/steampunk turn in terms of planning and concepts)
Odds and ends: bunch of older edition models I paint up on occassion if I can get my hands on'em.

In terms of Fantasy:
Dwafs - about 40+ of 1st edition stuff used as 'allied' units in my Empire army
Empire - quite a bit of it... lost track of points lol, but since I started this army and the IG army in 2007, January, there's a LOT of stuff to assemble and paint.

Not to mention getting sidetracked with any other miniature I find to my liking, warmachine, essex miniatures... rackham... what say you.

I'm also part of
warseer forums - MF3000
warhammer-empire online - sojung, yoon
wargamerAU forums - soju
China History Forum - sojung (we're discussing fantasy Chinese army, and a different approach to Warhammer Cathay)

Anywho, enough babbling.

Rogue Trader days, actually.

I've started up Imperial Guard...

You can keep your fancy pants power amour, (or if you're Eldar--your fancy pants in general)  give me some flak armour and a trusty las-gun and I'm laughing... or crying (depending on the situation)... :P

Welcome to 40kOnline, Mr V. Make sure you check out the Guard boards if you're looking for help getting started with the your new army, things have changed since the Rogue Trader days.

The dinosaurs went extinct for starters.

Now, report to the Commissars, and we'll see about getting you 're-educated'.

 I guess this is a better place to introduce myself than making another "Hey, I'm new" topic, hmm?

 My name's Bethlehem, im 21 and a fan of all kinds of gaming. I've known about 40k for a while, just never had the motivation to go and get started. Im in the marines and im in iraq right now (been here about 6 months, another 6 to go), and a couple of my friends were painting some minis in their off time and turned my attention back to the game! Anyway, i got my wife to send me the newest edition rulebook to school up, so I haven't even chosen an army as of yet. THis is where i need some help.

 I think im going to choose the Daemonhunters. Just from basic research they seem my play style. Can anyone get me started?

Hello everybody!


I used to read Eldar Online, but never posted anything there. Don't know why. Anyway this is my introduction and first post to 40kOnline.

So I live in Tampere, Finland. I'm a student and have played miniature games for five years. The most interesting section of this message board is the Eldar Forum where I will be spending most of my time here :)



My 40k armies are:

- Iyanden Eldar 2250 points, all painted
- CSM (Death Guard and Black Legion + some LaTD) 2500 points, all painted

And Fantasy Battle armies:

- Bretonnia 2250 points, all painted
- Some projects like Night Goblins and Vampire Counts, under work

I also have some Epic Chaos Marines though I haven't played with them yet.

Post by: Wraith on May 29, 2007, 06:51:54 PM
Since I have already made a few choice comments within the Forum in general, I suppose it would also be polite of me to formally introduce myself also :P

I am English, living close enough to the THE Games Workshop HQ in Lenton that I no longer remember what money looks like. I've been playing 40k on-and-off for the last 7 or 8 years, returning only recently from a 3 year hiatus to my beloved (and somewhat newer and shinier!) Eldar.

I've not been completely idle throughout this period, however; I am a self-confessed 'Specialist' Gamer, and have succeeded in attaining some quite respectable rankings among my local Necromunda, Blood Bowl and especially Mordheim circuits. Not that I expect my luck to hold out into large-scale battle (My recent attempts at Warhammer Fantasy are best left forgotten...), but it'd be nice if it did :)

I currently play 2000 points of Iyanden Eldar, though I don't think it'll get much bigger for a while - 15 Wraithguard, while causing a range of amusing, terrified expressions on my opponents' faces during setup, have left me wishing that i really had taken up Tyranids as I almost did in the first place.  ;D

Greetings and salutations to all.

Thanks, it's been years since I played the game even before there were tyranids.  I mostly just read the books and draw and paint some from time to time, I'm thinking about getting back into it though.

Hello I'm Pxhren. I have around a 1500 points space wolf army, 1500 point ork army and barely anything for the imperial guard.  I don't play that many games, and would rather collect and paint(even though I'm not that good at painting) .

Welcome to 40konline, Phxren!

If you want any help with your burgeoning Imperial Guard, don't forget to check out the Imperial Guard boards, we're more than happy to help new players. As for not being very good at painting, don't worry about it, you get better the more you do. And if you really want help, we have a whole board dedicated to painting, where I'm sure you can get plenty of tips from our master-painting members, some of whom have even won Golden Daemons.

Hey there all!

Been playing 40k on and off for at least 10 years now; took a 4ish year break when I moved to a new city and everyone I knew played fantasy.  Finally got some more friends to move here and talked everyone into starting a new 40k army, so hurray, back in business.

I have a crapton of guard, probably 8000+ points, but my new army that I started with the gang is Eldar.  Going for Ulthwe theme since I like the look & feel, and it's pretty easy to paint.  (While I have tons of guards, few are actually painted; I was always a lot more into playing then painting.  Finding that painting is really quite fun now, though)

Hi,

I have been out of the game for a long time (10+yrs) and have decided to start again.  I still have the origonal 40k rulebook in perfect condition (where have all the Eldar pirates gone?), many new rules to learn ( i am sure you guys will help).  Anyhow, i have decided to start building two armies, Eldar and Imperial Guard.

Look forward to getting to know you all.

'Ello everyone!

I am Teg (well, you can see that, but there isn't really any other way to start an 'hello everyone' post!), and have played 40k for about 3 years (I think...). I started at GW Chester, but after a year gave up because I didn't like the people there much and nearly always lost. After a year long lull (in which I moved to college) I then found Bracknell Forest Gamers, and have become well-and-truly hooked again. I still lose a lot though! (lit. ~50% are 'crushing defeats' >:()

I have been posting in the Bolter & Chainsword (under the same username) as both my armies are power-armoured, but when I found out that this place was holding a tournament at the BFG, I thought I'd stick my head in here too. I'll still post mainly on the B&C, but if there is something that isn't power-a'd I'll put it here instead.

Right! I'm off to the 5th tourny thread. Bye!

I am really interested in collecting the Eldar. I played them in the Dawn of War game, and also just kind of like their play style, along with their history. I was kind of interested in messing with the Dark Eldar or Black Templar, but I just decided to go with my first choice. I still have yet to get a squad though, so I still have room to meddle.

And no, I don't think they have. There are quite a few models they never tried putting together, as it requires masses of greenstuff/cutting to make them fit.
Title: Re: Welcome all Newcomers!

I've considered adding LEDs to the monolith, since there's plenty of room, but the light will leak out the edges without massing greenstuffing.

Hello everyone!
Another newcomer here!
Bought the 'Battle for Macragge' starterset today and had a great time assembling the units and playing through the introduction booklet.
Next thing on the agenda will be painting them!

Haven't decided on what army I want to collect yet. First I will concentrate on the rules and make a few custom scenarios parallel to the read rules with the starter set.
In the mean time I will browse through the forums here (are these the only forums for 40K, by the way?) to learn more about the different armies!

Till soon!

Hello folks, new here, never played the tabletop Warhammer 40k, but REALLY want to!  I've played WH40k on the PC (Dawn of War, Winter Assault) and FireWarrior on the PS2.  I love the Space Marines and IG.

Hello everyone. I started playing 40k back in 97 (I think). I took a break from 40k and now I'm slowly getting back into it. I was digging through my 2ed Eldar Codex when I had an idea for my return army. I might sound tacky but it’s a Crone World list. For all intensive purposes, it’s  treated as Eldar.

The game has changed a lot since then, but if you get a new codex you should be able to get up to speed pretty quickly.

hi all,
I'm pretty new here, but a beardy old gamer, especialy when it comes to 40k.
I began playing the first edition when I was 12 (20years ago) and still have the first edition rule book, the old bible known as Rogue Trader.
I have worked for GW of and on for a number years, but now look after my disabled wife (who plays Tyranids...yes there are female players out there)
Good to see a great and thriving comunity on here, and its nice to meet you all.

I also have the old rules, and sometimes look at them with a sort of longing melancholy in my eyes. They were strange days, and the game has moved on, for better or worse, since then.

Just thought I'd drop into this thread and say Hello. Been watching this site for a few weeks now and finally made an account.

Used to paint and play Warhammer fantasy and Bloodbowl in the 90s and now, after a long break, finally got back into the hobby. My chaos army is being converted and painted as I speak (literally, I'm typing with a paint station in front of the pc).

I'm still trying to navaigate the site and afraid of making posts in wrong places so be gentle with me  ;)

Welcome to 40konline Ruukil. Enjoy the Community.

1. There aren't that many facts to get wrong about the necrons, so whatever errors you make and get pointed out you can easily mend and be done with. :)

2. Space Marines are by far the most popular across the world, but other than that it is abit up in the air. THere are regional differences, agedifferences and edition-differences between groups of armies, so it is a lot harder to say than some might think.

Hey all, a friendly 'hi!' fomr the dark, cold fringes of the Lowlands... a.k.a. the Netherlands. Well, it's not that dark and cold, but still  ;D

I've been customizing SW action figures for some time now, and recently got a Necron Warrior from a guy I know. I painted the little fella (will post it in the Painting Forum), which was fun to do. And last week, I bought my first set of Eldar Dark Reapers. Pretty cool figures and I really like the overall look of the Eldar/Dark Eldar.

I'm not too sure if I'll be joining the gaming community any time soon. I have way too many hobbies and way too little time, ha! But assembling and painting those little pieces of art will be just fine right now. It also helps developing my customizing skills with SW action figures  :D

I hope to have a great time here and to be able to pick up some pointers and inspiration from your work!

Cheers,

- Incom

Most people find that playing the game with their painstakingly modelled and painted toy soldiers is the ultimate goal in the hobby. Others however prefer to just paint. Either way, this site'll serve your needs quite nicely. The Eldar models, being some of Games Workshop's most recent, are also among its best so you'll have plenty of fun with them.

I have a particular dislike for 1 word posts and really try to ask one time for you to stop. usually I'd be an admin or mod(im not one here but would like to *poses*)  like on a few other sites I'm on. After my first warning I'd usually place a warning on you and watch you. again and I'd ban you but i cant do that. i hope you don't keep the one word posting up.

Title: Re: Welcome all Newcomers!
Post by: Benandorf on November 24, 2007, 12:40:06 PM
What I *think* he's trying to say is that one-word posts are simply spam.  They don't add anything to the discussion, and they are just a post for the sake of posting.  Which is generally not encouraged.

You probably feel ganged up on now, for which I apologize, but Ruukil does have a point.
Title: Re: Welcome all Newcomers!
Post by: Mr.Vincent on November 24, 2007, 01:09:50 PM

Title: Re: Welcome all Newcomers!
Post by: Mr.Peanut (Turtleproof) on November 24, 2007, 03:58:40 PM
Mr.Vincent: yes, a single character response is always spam (not every one-word post is spam but nearly all are, all smilie posts are spam). 

Ruukil: The 'report to moderator' button exists for a reason, as do the Moderators.

Just read the 40k Online Rules and Netiquette (http://www.40konline.com/index.php?topic=141438.0), you clods.  ;)

welcome Daniel! we could use some fluff stuff. and if you need help just ask. but watch out for the over critical ones who will flame your work for something insignificant.

Welcome to 40konline Daniel. Enjoy the Community.

"Fluffer" is a term I would not advice using, as it is an occupation within the  "adult entertainment industry". We all know what you mean, but it is still a term that you might want to modify a tad. :)

As for Ruukil's cmment - I think someone has gotten critique he did not think he desrved. If at any time you feel you are being mistreated or flamed, use the "Report to Moderator"-button and a member of staff will look into it for you, and sort it.

Hello

i am new to the game, i started looking into this about 3 weeks ago

i joined 40KO because i know from my experience in various TCGs that the best way to learn about a game is to join a forum with a large population and converse with the community.

i have already chosen necrons and have a fair understanding of there tactics and style

i still have yet to learn game play but with any luck i'll learn it here

Hello everyone,

My brother just got me started with Warhammer 40k this Christmas, so I'm completely new to the game.  And after a long week of reading codex's I finally settled on Eldar.  With my brothers help I now have a few units I am assembling. and I am working on making my first army list. 

I am glad that I have found this forum, its been a great help as I am trying to learn about all this.  This newbie forum is awsome!

I hope to be around awhile as a grow my little Eldar army.

Hello everyone, I'm loving this site. It looks like one of the better organized forums that I've ever found.

     I'm new to playing 40K even though I've had pieces since sometime in the late 1990's. I'm a Necron player at heart as I've always loved the concept of the undead and the 'crons play very well to that concept in a sci-fi context. I have finally completed a little over 5000 points (without war gear) of Necrons for a total of 185 individual models. For years we have slept, and now war is upon us. Life has flourishsed throughout the universe and The Star Gods are not pleased. The Red Harvest is coming!!

     All the students in my town are on break right now so its hard to find a game but I'll start playing regularly hopefully after Jan 14th.

this is my first time here, and this seemed like an appropriate place to introduce myself

i've been playing tau for about a year and a half and I'm considering tyranids as well. i like the tau's advanced technology and warfare, as well as their position as the most agreeable race in 40k. i like the tyranids' massive swarms of bugs and their position as one of the most dangerous races in 40k. a sort of yin and yang, if you will...

i look forward to exploring this website. :)

Welcome to 40kO! Dark angles are a pretty sweet army. I don't personally don't know too much about Fantasy though, but I am pretty partial to dwarves, though they are not the fastest bunch.

Hello. I've been lurking around the forums a bit before I decided to sign up. I have a very unconventional 1750 pt Tau army and a slightly more normal force under construction for IG. I don't get an option to play very often as things are, but in the future I'll be playing against more diverse foes. Currently I've played the vast majority of my games against Ultramarines, Dark Angels and Necrons.

Hi everyone.

I'm new to this board and thought I had better introduce myself.

I'm Scotia; a veteran of Rogue trader and the last time I played a game of 40K was back in '89.  Last year I got back into the hobby after a 18 year vacation  :) (much to my wife's consternation) and decided to pick imperial Guard as my Army of choice.  I haven't played any games as of yet (I don't know anyone else who plays Warhammer) but have spent the past few months buying the odd model and painting it up.  Just to get my hand back in so to speak.

Well no doubt  i'll bump into some of you on the board from time to time so see you all later.

Hi all,

New to 40k and to this board.  Bought the Mcragge box set for my son with the idea that he build up an SM army and I concentrate on Nids.

1 year later, I've finally finished painting (!) and with my first 1000pt army, go to take on Imperial Guards tonight for my first battle!  Meanwhile, my son has just started to paint his SMs - think we focussed on 'painting before playing' a bit too much and he lost his interest.

So, have been cramming the rules over the last week, only to hear of the new edition coming out this year possibly!  Hope they wont change to much!

Anyway, enough of my rambling - just wanted to say hi! ;D

Welcome Philth,

your painting time is better than mine: 1500pt Tau army, 2 years old, half painted, 75% assembled ;)

Good luck on your first game tonight, you'll learn a lot (a lot in the game can only really be learn the hands-on way)

As for the new edition, it's set to change quite a bit.

Hello all!  New to the boards, but have been lurking around for a couple months.  Starting up wargaming again (after about a 5 year hiatus).  I am an experienced gamer of all different games and genres, but mostly miniatures gaming. 

I play Imperial Guard, but was never a huge fan of the 40k rules (but its the most wide spread and easiest rule set to find players for), and would much rather play Stargrunt (anyone else know about this game?  ha ha ha :-P)

Anyway, hi!

On a seprate note... I don't believe I've introduced myself here before.

___________________ ___________________ ___________________

HI, my name is Sanctjud.

It's pronounced Sanct-jud, literally, it's made from 2 roots.  Sanct and jud.... sanct is for holy, and jud is the root for judge.

1+1 you'll get Holy Judge... the name stuck, but not the initial meaning, I assure you.

I play Chaos... Chaos, Chaos, Chaos....

Grandfather Nurgle Loves ALL
ALL loves Grandfather Nurgle.

I REALLY like chaos, I find myself attracted to both Slaanesh and Nurgle.
For the 'a little too much infomation section', I continuously pick at my scabs (very nurgle) but I also like pealing it off experiencing the pain continuously (very slaanesh), also I'm in the boat where:

"Sex without pain is like food without taste." -some french dude.

Oh yea... I also LOVE GREENSTUFF... love convertina and gaming aspect... sadly I'm not thrilled when I paint my mini's... BUT I PLAY NURGLE HVY LISTS... so it's not too bad I guess.

I LOVE CHAOS, if I havn't said it yes, oh, I love it so much I'm the 2007 Chaos poster of the Year... based only on quantity right?? or quality?  ;D

I love chaos so much I enslaved some Tau and Eldar and have Chaos Tau and Chaos Eldar working for my 'Death Dealers'  <---my army name, very original  ::)   hehe.

I love this community... I hope everyone else here, and all those after this post enjoy this spot in the internet.

HI, my name is Sanctjud.

It's pronounced Sanct-jud, literally, it's made from 2 roots.  Sanct and jud.... sanct is for holy, and jud is the root for judge.

1+1 you'll get Holy Judge... the name stuck, but not the initial meaning, I assure you.

I play Chaos... Chaos, Chaos, Chaos....

Welcome Sanctjud, hope you enjoy the community, and read the stickies :D


Oh yea... I also LOVE GREENSTUFF...

I'm sure, if we can find someone who's still has contact with Greenstuff, that they can convey the message for you ;)

HI's, welcome to the boards.  I see you play CSM as one of them in the list.  Which one is your main?

I originally started 40k playing Eldar, but I ended up selling that army on ebay back in '98 (which I still regret to this day) when I thought I wouldn't be playing the game any longer.  About a year later, I started playing the Dark Angels. 

Chaos is a new addition to the family for me.  Started picking up some of blisters of minis for the sole purpose of painting, and then it started growing from there.  So as of yet, my Chaos is still untested and unplayed.  I'm kind of hoping that will change here in the next couple months though.

Hello my name is Nikk and I am about a week into Warhammer 40k but have been playind DnD for like 2 three years. I find this much more fun though as of right now. I am in the process of building a necron army which I am liking very much but am sucking at painting very much so.

I am sure you will get the hang of paiting Necrons, as the basics are pretty simple if yo practice a bit. You can head over to the Painting board to get some inspiration as well.

Hey, I'm totally new to WH40k, I'm incredibly interested though (haven't bought anything yet).  Got interested in it through the Dawn of War game, and am hoping to use this board to help ease me into the whole beginning process as none of my friends play.  See you on the boards!
Title: Re: Welcome all Newcomers!
Post by: Killing Time on March 26, 2008, 08:39:40 AM
Welcome Falgron.
Personally I find 40k a lot more satisfying than Dawn of War......and that's not saying anything bad about the computer game!

Hope you enjoy the boards. Make sure to read the stickies and rules and stuff.
I'm sure you'll find all the help you need to get started.

I take it you are a marine player, Bob?  And you do know that marine's don't build things, they destroy them? :P

What armies are you looking into, Azurel?  What drew your attention to the game.

Anyway, enjoy your stay, and don't be afraid to ask us crusty old ancients for advice. 8)

I've just started setting up a Tau army, based out of the Battleforce box set.

I first got into the game when I walked by a games workshop 7 years ago and saw a Land Speeder in the case and a giant, life-sized blood angel in the corner of the shop.

Just a little bit about me.  I live in Indianapolis.  I'm 39, married with a 4 year old son.  Prior to his arrival, I played some Warhammer and a few games of 40K.  I am very interested in getting back into the hobby.  I've just started work on an Eldar army (Yme-Loc craftworld).  I'll post some pics of my figures in the Eldar forum as I complete them.  Seeing what others have done is very inspiring!

Welcome Taylord.

Enjoy the Chaos Boards, post a list, read the stickies.

Just a note, be strong to your ideals.... we in the Chaos Forums are sometimes blood thirsty individuals.... so we are pretty ruthless in terms of army lists....so sticking with your own preferences is a huge Plus on your part.

We've got lots of Chaos battle reports... and tacticas.

We've got fluffy players and cutthroat players...

And step into the Taverns at your own risk, very fun, but you'll need a VERY open mind, caution is the word.

I'm 33.  I played Warhammer 40K from 1989 to 1997 (1st an 2nd editions).  I got back to the game a year ago and joined a local club of about 16 players. I have a Biel-Tan Eldar army and started a Tyranid army last March. I'm presently playing every week in a campaign with my Nids.

Always better to buy someone's collection than to start your own - you usually get a far better price!  (Note - anyone after Dark Eldar, PM me and/or see my sig).

The first models I got were from friends of mine who were willing to part with them.  From that humble beginning has grown quite the Orky Horde!

My kids started painting LOTR minis a couple of years ago, then found WH40K.

Just recently their collections got large enough they could playing some games (rules were a bit nebulous).

I tried to referee and discovered a very elaborate gaming environment.

Kids have Eldar and IG w/ codex.  We've also got an odd assortment of Nids that will need to be
supplemented to get to 400 viable pts (2001 codex bought through eBay).

Still reading my way through the 4th edition Rulebook.  We're trying Combat
Patrol games to learn the basics.

Guy at local hobby store recommended buying a Space Marine/Ork starter kit for around $60 US but I
haven't been able to find it online.  Gets us a 5th Ed Rulebook, templates, a bit of scenery, some scenarios,
and supposedly two more 500 pt armies.  Anyone know what he's talking about (store doesn't stock it)?

How important is it to get my hands on the 5th edition Rulebook?  We're strictly playing 'friendlies' while
we get some sense of armies and tactics.

Welcome!
The new starter set hasn't been released yet, but will be in a month or two. Assault on Black Reach it's called.
And well, your not in a huge hurry to get the 5th ed rulebook, but I would recommend that you do since it is better to keep oneself updated with new rules etc.
I've heard that the LoS (Line of Sight) amongst other things has been improved.

Welcome to 40konline. Enjoy the Community.

You can definitely play 4th ed as much as you want, but if your interest progresses and you want to play at the local club, or attend events or tournaments, you are most likely going to be playing 5th ed (it's what all the "cool" kids play now. :) ) so when you can, no rush, you should look into getting it. As for the starterset it is really only worth it if you want the armies in it. If you want to play something else then just buying the book and templates (and assorted other things) works out better, and you don't have a lot of extra minis laying around).

Hey gang.  Brand new to this site, in fact, brand new to forum posting in general.  I've been playing 40k for...let's see, I guess it's 13 years now.  This place looks informational, so I can't wait to get through some of the posts.
By the way, I was just in the local GW today, and the pictures they have for Assault on Black Reach look awesome!  THe models are still those stupid body+weapon things (which I can't stand because it's so much more difficult to convert them) but it does come with a dread with a multi-melta, and three deth-koptas that have rockets.  And the SM commander looks great too.  Not to mention the 5 termies, and all for $60.

Hello everyone. Even though I've been playing for about 5 years, I'm new to this site, and new to forum posting. This seems like a great place to obtain more information about Eldar strategies as well as other armies too.  I can't wait to look at some of these posts.

Welcome Darthava, and don't worry. There are quite a number of people here who use English as their 2nd/3rd/4th/etc language. You do have a spell check button when posting that sometimes proves usefull, and and English will improve with time here anyway :)
Title: Re: Welcome all Newcomers!
Post by: darthava on July 30, 2008, 04:35:33 AM
thanks for the vote of confidence guys.

My armies:
Up and around 5000 points of eldar
about 5000 points of necrons
about 1,5 points of demons
and a small IG force Ive just started of about 750 points.

The necrons are the army the most easy to use, and I like there fluff, looks and tactics.
The eldar are my first army, hard to use but rewarding if I'm able to pull off my planned tactics.
The chaos daemons I have I usually use in fantasy, but also the occasional battle of warhammer 40k.
I added the IG because I like there fluff, always wanted an imperial army and since there space Marines all over the place, I tought IG might be a nice change.

P.s. that spellchecker is really handy, thanks for the tip. ;D

Welcome PenobscotNative.

Good luck on Daemons, they are relatively new, so the more people who get experience, the better.
Don't hesitate to ask questions and post a list, as a first army, I think daemons will be a Steep learning curve, but don't let that concern you, it's a cool list with lots of muscle.

Welcome Arin the Shadow Weilder.

Do not listen to him, that is a damn lie!

I'm in fact from Slovenia and I am only swedish in the sense that I was born and raised here and that I have the lagom-attitude etched into my genes.
Lagom: the middle ground between mediocre and good, just about perfect if you don't want actual perfection, neither good nor bad, the quantum average that's always approaching above average but never quite there, so-so but pretty good, almost three-quarters awesome. (http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Sweden)

Good day to you.

Hi, everyone.  I just joined here.  I haven't played since the days of 3rd edition, but sold my Eldar army a long time ago to get into some other miniature game. 

Assault on Black Reach finally convinced me to get back into the hobby; I'm expecting it in the mail soon.  I'm hoping to start a Space Marines army (a faction I have never played). 

I've also got what might be the makings of an Inquisition force--a squad of Stormtroopers, a couple of Inquisitors, and a Retinue, which I've been using in a game of Dark Heresy.  I'd like to try them out on the tabletop someday. 

Working a full-time, on-call 24-hours-a-day job, and being a parent means that by the time I get my Space Marines painted, we'll be well into 6th edition!  But I'm here nevertheless, and I hope to find some advice, suggestions, and possibly other players in the Southwestern Virginia area. 

Glad to find y'all here!

Hey everyone, been a lurker for a good while and finally decided to register.

I'm an imperial guard / ultra marines player from Northern Ireland.

Imperial guards just a small force at the moment but its more for fun.

Ultra marines is growing quite quickly... damn my weakness to little models.


Also a Empire player in WHFB and human mercs in mordheim.. maybe orcs depending if i get time to paint some.

   While all the of boards tend to be very fine and respectable institutions on 40K Online, we Taverners are trying to get all of the still 'normal' people together in the Taverns, so that we can present a strong core to face the encroaching madness that is the eternal war of the 41 millennium.

jcook71,

Welcome.  CSM is a popular choice these days - and with good reason.  There are a number of new and exciting things happening for Chaos right now, and the variety of the models combined with the power of the army in general makes CSM a very satisfying army to play and to play against.

Post by: Ragnar Ironhelm on October 26, 2008, 02:51:54 PM
Well... Hello!
 
Do they still sell Bugmans XXXXXX in these here parts?
 
As you can tell from my stature... I'm a dwarf. We'll have no short comments, no stunty comments and no half pint comments, or I will have to introduce you all to my axe.
 
Now... for some reason I've ended up here in a place where there are no kinsmen to drink and fight with... so you lot are going to have to do while I find myself somewhere better to call home.
 
I have no experience yet of this place or this age (is it true we're in the 41st millenium??) so you will all have to bear with me while I find my place and then some like minded fellows to smash orc heads alongside. (Although I hear that you people call them orks but we can't all be perfect).
 
Right... now... where's my beer??
 
 
 
 
 
 
Hey all, As you can hopefully tell I'm a fantasy player just starting out into 40k. I'm so new to 40k that I don't actually own any 40k models yet except those that came with White Dwarf a couple of months back.
 
As for fantasy armies, I own well over 4k points worth of Dwarves and probably around 3k points worth of orcs and goblins (although now they are all painted and based the orcs are probably going to be sold on to pay for a 40k army).
 
I've purchased the Space Marines codex as I'm pretty sure that is where I will start until I get to know more about 40k, but for now I intend to read as much as possible before constructing my first 500pt list... and then going out to buy the models I need.
 
So... see you all around I hope!
Title: Re: Welcome all Newcomers!

Hi Ragnar, welcome to 40K Online! I am sure some of our honorable SM members will give you the tour of the SM boards.

And we DO have a Fantasy board too. ;)

 If you ever get in need of some Bugman XXXXXX you are sure to find some in the Tavern under THAT (http://www.40konline.com/index.php?topic=166670.0) topic, that or it's e-equivalent in the Tavern Games. (http://www.40konline.com/index.php?board=88.0) There you shall witness the true meaning of the 40K famous sentence: 'There is Only War'.

For Ork/Orc it's just that WHFB are called Orcs and w40k Orks (or Orkz). The spelling is just made to avoid misunderstandings.

For the army which suits best to you you can be sure you'll get all the help you'll need around the boards.

Hey guys and thanks for the welcome.
 
I've decided on Space Marines to start me off and get me used to the game. I've bought around 1000pts worth, maybe more (I havent finished reading the codex yet so I'm guestimating based on what I've been told and have seen on the gaming table in my local store) and now need to find the time to sit down and assemble and paint them.
Title: Re: Welcome all Newcomers!
Post by: Rasmus on November 7, 2008, 09:30:56 AM
I am sure you will enjoy your new Marines, and don't forget that there are veteran-commanders of many a campaign waiting to impart wisdom to you in the Space Marine forums. When you start building lists - that's the place to take them.
Title: Re: Welcome all Newcomers!
Post by: Ragnar Ironhelm on November 7, 2008, 09:54:42 AM
Yeah I've been having a good read of the SM forums and no doubt will be asking for help in there at some point soon.
 
Thankfully the staff at my local GW store are pretty good, and I have a good circle of friends some of which are also playing 40k so I've a decent amount of help on hand if I need it.

Hello.  Im new to the forum, but not to 40k.  I played back in the 2nd and 3rd edition, but my life took a different turn, and I havent played (or even seen my models) since.  I would like to get back into the hobby, slowly of course.

I lurked this site, and others for a while, before deciding to join up.  I believe this is the best one, for a number of reasons.

I did purchase DoW, and I must say, I was very disappointed.  I do not think it accurately conveys Warhammer 40k.

Hi all !
After few posts here, I found the presentation one  ;D

I'm french newcomer, 26 years old, and I was an old 2th edition player.
I played CSM with a friend and his IG guys, and he disgusted me with insane luck and constant optimization (like a lot of lascannons in the background, and said me "you may move on...", with a huge open shooting field in the middle...  ::) ). I was too naive 13 years old, and never read the rules  :P .

And some aspects of the game bothering me, like having to buy a lot of minis, and pack them back to case immediately when losing the initiative roll (I didn't tell you about the missed Deep Strike of Abbadon and his retinue, who was the only one to die after deviation  :'( )...

But with the 5th edition coming out, and a gentle w40k new player in our association, we will all re-fall into the infernal circle...  ;D And to be honest, I felt in love with the new daemon armie, and there is a good opportunity to reconcile with the game.

So, hope to have fun with the game, and to make as little language mistakes as possible.  ;)

hey welcome to 40k online,

umm to be honest we're not in the business of making lists for people on the forum, your best bet would be to nip over to the nids board and post a list, that way you can get some feedback and people will undoubtedly give you some decent advice
Title: Re: Welcome all Newcomers!

I have never played tabletop, I dont have money to even buy figures, or the skill to model my own(I suck) so I stick to playing DoW/DC(ya'll probably hate me). Im also a Chaos Cultist IRL. My Favorite armies are the SMufs, IG, Crons, Nids. I have interest in this site for depening myy knowledge of the warhammer 40k universe. I hope we can have nice debates and discussions about our favorite hobby.

Hey all :D
I'm Chimeara a Daemonhunters pure Grey Knights player , i'm currently working on my Cities of Death table and thought i'd join the forum :D

I do have one question though ( don't know if the answer is posted in a guide or "read this first topic" , as far as i know if read them all ) but how can i change my profile stats ? going to "User CP "and profile doesn't work , do i need a certain amount of posts for that ?

thx in advance

As for "profile stats" I am not sure what you mean. If you mean add a signature and such you can do that under User CP - but the number of stars and such is not up for you to change.

Hi everyone,

I'm mainly a WFB player, but one can never fully avoid the crossover.  My WFB army is Dark Elves; I don't have a 40K one (yet) - I'm mainly in it for the modelling.

So, here goes with another discussion board to occupy my time (instead of doing something productive, alas).

Ahoy! 

I'm new to 40k on-line and warhammer.  A friend who's a long time player got me the Eldar army for solstice and now I'm hooked.

Right now I'm excited by this new game and a little overwhelmed by the depth of this hobby
I'm thrilled by the level of customization this game offers me but frustrated as hell trying to find a color scheme.

So it's a mixed bag, oh well should be fun?

Hello there, long time listener, first time caller. I thought I'd finally poke my head round the door and join your wonderful organisation. So here it goes....

Hi. My name's Jay. I'm 26 years old. And I'm a Warhammerolic. I've been dry from 40K now for a month, having not touched a drop of my Necrons for at least 3 months and disliking the bitter taste of my Khorne Daemon army so much that I can quite easily resist their lure from the shelf.

Helping me stay on the wagon and not succumbing to my 40K urges I'm turning to the warmth and love only Talisman can give. This is helping me keep up high work levels and being the strong great guy I always knew I could be.

I'm part of the Bristol Vanguard and whether it's seen as a blessing or a curse, I am at least privileged to say that I know Hymirl the infamous, mocker of all, 40KOnline Tourney Champion and no doubt soon to be holder of the Acid Wit award!!

I shall now head over to the Hobby section and settle myself into the place I'll probably feel most at home!!!
Title: Re: Welcome all Newcomers!
Post by: Dux Aurelius Elysius on January 17, 2009, 07:24:24 PM
Aaah, WorkofJay ... suppose I should've clicked from the name sooner, Vanguard can only have so many members named Jay ... welcome to 40kO.  Good to see you've already started posting up models into the painting board; great to see fresh blood.  I'm (a) Sam that was at the last Vanquish, sporting my spectacularly whipped Eldar.  Hope to make it to the next Vanquish too, Uni and work permitting.  Tickets selling like hotcakes for this one?

As for knowing Hymirl ... please no more.  If his ego gets any bigger we'll need to buy a new server to support the extra load ;)

does any one know of an online version??

Such would be a breach of Intellectual Property and/or Copyright.  Do not ask for or help in the circulation of such things on our website, doing so will get you in trouble which I'm sure you're not looking for :)

Hiya! I'm a some-time lurker who just felt that I should add myself to the usergroup since I'm here once a day anyway.
I don't play tabletop, and I've never actually read any of the 40k novels, so I kinda fall in the "wtf do you want?" category. Still, I've been smitten by the universe, and I kinda take inspiration from it to my own writings, which are currently on an amateur level, before anyone think I'm here bragging.

Anyway, peace out and live well.

Greetings fellow warriors!
I've been lurking on this site for a while now, taking in the tactica and fluff.  My former roommate turned me on to WH 40k; the short time we spent together was filled with many battles.  I play Space Wolves, but with him gone, I now only play sporadically by convincing my fiance to take up arms.  (More on that later)

I'm eager to satisfy my hunger for more battle and war-related talk, so any advice on where to go from here would be greatly appreciated.

May our contact be fruitful and entertaining!

I'm not new to the hobby, proud veteran for going on nearly 9 years ;D
But I am new to this site. I've mainly played Empire/DoW for fantasy but I have been the proud owner of 3 Imperial Guard variant armies, all of which are still in the early stages :-[, Blood Pact, Tau Gue'vessa and a Verghast Imperial Guard.
At the moment I am currently building up my Blood Pact army for 40k whilst I am doing a fluff campaign called "the Solland Effert of 2524" over at the Warhammer-Empire forum.

Eldar were my frist army which I jrecently picked up to play again (last game was 3rd edition  :o). My other 40k armies are Dark Angels, Blood Angels and Imps.

Well, looking forward to posting and input,

Hello.
I've been browsing forums about 40k for....well months. I've been looking for Eldar tips (yes I already started looking at the tactics section before ANYONE asks, along with reading the Eldar Bible on Warseer). Thought it would be helpful to actually join a place so I can ask questions if need be (or put in my 2 cents).

So. Just saying hi so far.
Title: Re: Welcome all Newcomers!
Post by: Starrakatt on March 19, 2009, 12:35:50 AM
Welcome aboard Ail-Shan, and especially to the Eldar!

Since you are saying that you have already begun to browse the Eldar boards, I would direct you to 40KO's own Eldar Bible, namely moc065's For those Starting out with Eldar (http://www.40konline.com/index.php?topic=157393.0) article, which is quite exhaustive on the subject.

Don't be shy to ask for advices or comment on the boards, the only stupid questions are those not asked. ;)

Hope you enjoy it here,

Hey, i've also been browsing these forums for a while and have decided to join so i can ask a few questions as a newbie in a newbie friendly place like this appears to be! I've started collecting necron's and have chosen both a color scheme and the basic outline of my army. So yeah, HI!

Well hello guys and girls just figured id actually open a account and say hi, as opposed to just lurking. 

Actually I came across this site by accident some time ago.  While pondering a Imperial Guard army list someone posted a very tasty list which I shamelessly stole after working out how much it would cost to start, and thinking about how effective it was.  I do plan to make a post on that forum post as soon as I finish writing this welcome message.

As for myself been a warhammer player for years and years now.   I started fantasy when I was like 13 or something the closest store being Newcastle ( bout 70 miles from where I live) and The one in Sheffield which was the only time I went to see my Gran. 

I started with Almighty Chaos fantasy and somehow ended up with about 5000 points all unpainted or random under coated black and maybe 1 colour ( thinking flesh hounds) anyhow I cant remember what happened to all that stuff most likely got chucked out with a move.  Anyhow as it turns out they open a GW store in my city Carlisle and I once again get the bug I find they have done a new army list for chaos, so off I go again on a chaos rampage.  Its somewhere along where that someone shows me 40 k and guess what its a chaos army however I wasn't a huge fan of 40 k at the time so I kinda put the army on the back shelf ( yes this one was kinda painted) anyhow after much more last ed of 40 k comes out and I try my hand at it bringing out the old chaos stuff and I find to my surprise its kinda fun.

So Now I have about 5000 points of Elder painted up craftworld ulthwe style and people I play with complaining that they have WAY to many power weapons/ AP 3 shots and why didn't I collect a army that wasn't so over powered I would like to point out a few things at this point

I'm 28 years old now :p
I play against marine power army's
I don't use a twinky elder tourney list infact in 5000 points I own exactly 0 fire prisms ;p

As stated my main opponents include

Dark Angels
Black Templers
Dark Elder
Necrons
Nids
my own Elder army ( sometimes we do a army swap =) )

We play using the true LoS rules in our local GW and its usually a pretty good laugh something to fill in idle sundays.

Anyhow thats the hi folks post * waves*

Hi I'm kinda new here ;D How is everyone here?

I haven't played the tabletop Warhammer 40k game for a while. When i moved into college my cousin stole my miniatures and sold them on Ebay. I didn't have that many but I was planning on building an army as soon as I got the money to buy more miniatures.

College hasn't given me the time or money to buy new miniatures, so I just decided to get into the videogame series...starting with Dawn of War: Soulstorm then going all the way back to the first Dawn of War, Winter Assault, and Dark Crusade. I haven't played the DS game or the Dawn of War 2 game yet.

I do some Warhammer fanart...but my Eldar ended up looking like anorexic humans...my talents are more focused on fanfiction. Although now I'll need to enhance my literary prowess a little...and my knowledge of Warhammer...a lot of the things I've seen is pretty...advanced.

I have stacks of old harlequin jet bikes, dreadnoughts (wraith lords now?), and various other badly converted oddity's from 10 years ago or so. Anywhos, hoping to use them again soon, browsing the elder army list forum at the moment looking for something that even resembles what ive written up as a starting army list. ^^

Hey, I've played fantasy for years and love the painting part of the GW hobby. Don't know why but 40k never appealed to me untill two weeks ago when I got interested in the space marine models. Now I wanna build a small SM army to play with. In the GW I played a short game with the AobR models and I loved the gameplay.

Here my first 40k painting:

Hi there. I used to play 40K in the nineties, but due to several circumstances I quit and got rid of everything except my books in 99 :'(

The call of battle was too strong however, and finally having a Games Workshop store (I live in Belgium) was just the incentive I needed.

I used to play with a ramshackle combination of SM and IG (Catachan)
Now I'm going for a full SM battle force, and I've already got plans for my next army. No, not IG...
The best incentive : my girlfriend played an introduction battle and loved it, so she's playing Orks now!
We're busy painting up the troops in the AOBR box, building some rudimentary scenery and overall just getting started with the game.

I never realised how much I'd missed it till now!

Recently i'have decided to collect a Saim-Hann Eldar army and I have seen there are very intereseting threads around this site. Hope i can learn a lot from all of you, and maybe one day offer my limited knowledge.

Not at all new to the 40k universe, as I've been doing this for around 8 years and am sporting a wide selection of CSM's... and still finding reasons to buy more. (Thanks WarStore) Also included in my armada are a 1000+ point Tau Mech army, and a growing 'Chaos' Guard Army. Haven't reviewed the new book though. I read the entire CSM tactics article (the unit by unit one) and was greatly impressed with the amount of knowledge around. So, I'll drop in some army lists and do some studying around here. Hope to see you around the forums!

40K has been a big part of my life since 2001 but I'm not an expert by any stretch. Mostly I like to paint the figures and don't play much and when I do it had been with my brothers and we always treated the rules like helpful suggestions rather then real rules. But now I'm trying to get into real 40K.

I am currently devising an army list (up to my 4th draft now!) so I'll run it by you all as I'll need some advice/tweaking on it no doubt. I'm aiming for around 1500pts (with options depending on whom I battle) with a few conversions thrown in to make the army unique. Rasmus that sounds like a very 'specialized' army to say they least - and down right blood thirsty lol

Hello all.

I used to play Warhammer 40k along time ago and then when my brother started playing again I for some reason played the lord of the rings one. But after some time we just quit (not sure why). I want to get back into Warhammer 40k now seeing as I am almost free from 6 form/college and have alot of time now.

I found the box my brother used to have and it still has a few figures in it. Some are Chaos Space Marines while im not sure if others are just Space Marines (most are unfinished with missing pieces or just not coloured). I think I still have a rulebook somewhere but I believe it is out of date as its quite a few years old.

I am interested in being the Space Marines (guess I enjoy serving the emperor) and wondered whats the best way to get in to it. Should I first buy the rulebook or is the one in that box with the space marines and orks good enough? Also whats the best way to learn to paint? As im not really good at that.

Welcome to 40K ONline, Balious! ;)

And also welcome back to the hobby of 40k. Be sure to read some of the stiky threads & rules of the forums.

Should I first buy the rulebook or is the one in that box with the space marines and orks good enough?

The mini rulebook in the box you were referring to (The Assault of Black Reach box AKA AoBR boxset) is good enough to start off. It has all the game rules in it just like the big rule book. (Plus it is easier to carry around for gaming.)

The only thing it does not have is backgrounds and some other extra stuffs like converting & painting section. Campaign ideas, etc...

Anywho, see you around the boards. :)

*Off to my Guard duty*
Title: Re: Welcome all Newcomers!
Post by: Rasmus on June 8, 2009, 04:14:45 AM
Welcome to 40konline Balious. Enjoy the Community!
If it is indeed the Assault on Black Breach then you have all you need. If it is some other box you will need a 5th edition rulebook to start playing.
Last time there were marines in the basic set... could be older. However, you can just check the name on the box and it will be clear to you.
Title: Re: Welcome all Newcomers!
Post by: Balious on June 8, 2009, 12:15:55 PM
Thanks guys. Will try and start again as soon as I can. And after I got that rulebook will start thinking of my own space marines chapter.

I just remenbered about the codex telling things of each army. Have they been updated or can you use the old ones still? Like the Space Marines Codex or Chaos Space Marines Codex. I believe I still have them two from before. I think they called codex anyway.

Edit:
If I remenbered correctly we can design our own chapters for Space Marines. How does one do this?

Also just looked at the gamesworkshop website and saw how expensive the rulebook and that box is. Looks like I gotta find a job if I want to get it.

Hello everyone!

I'm a new player, and I'm very excited to find this community. A friend and I have pretty much taught ourselves to play, since there aren't many players in our area with the time to help us out. After quite a bit of suffering, we're past the painful phase of confusion and now entering a more comfortable relationship with the basics of play.

That said, I hope I can use and contribute to this forum, since this and a few podcasts are my only connection to the greater 40k community.

Huge lurker, decided to finally sign up.  Been playing WH40k since Rogue Trader days, 19 years or so now.  Still have the book with the rest of the WH40k rules, codexes, etc, though the wife wants to throw it away.  Collected and played Marines heavily from the start and graduated to Eldar and their darker cousins a few years back.

Being married with a child, I do not pay much anymore, but still love to collect, convert and paint in my very limited spare time.

I'm a Rogue Trader era vet who just got back into it again during Xmas. The community for all wargaming is so good now with the exsistence of the internet, back in the old days it was like "Warhammer? Whats that?" And honestly, Eldar Online has my vote for the best army-related site hands down, being an eldar junkie aside...

Welcome Mr. Loletc..

You need to read page 11 of the BRB (that is, the rulebook) to see how far an infantry model can move  ;).

We can't be a replacement for the rulebook or the Codexes, as that would be a breach of copyright.

Hi,

27 year old Welsh man who is looking for a hobby after CFS has stopped me doing rugby.  Always had a half hearted interest in GW, flitting in and out.  Love the background and have some Chaos Marines (about 1500 points) though never played.

Moving to London in a month or so and thinking of looking at getting into the hobby more then - especially interested in finding older players who are interested in playing the specialist games.  Really fancy both Bloodbowl and Necromunda.

Been lurking a lot, decided its time to dive into the community

Hi there, Nick.

Welcome to the hobby and welcome to the forum.
Always good to have more Welsh on the boards too.

I wish you luck in your quest for London gaming. I doubt you'll have a problem finding what you're looking for in the Big Smoke though.
Crikey... we even have thriving Necromunda and Bloodbowl leagues here in Bristol. And hardly a teenager in sight.

Thanks, and thanks for the welcome.  You Welsh yourself then?  I'm a Swansea lad myself - looking forward and nervous about the idea of moving to the big smoke, never lived somewhere so huge!

Yup. Vale of Glamorgan, so not so far away... though I've just about lived away for longer than I ever lived there.
Heh... yeah, big cities are a fine. But huge cities are a little intimidating to say the least. I think I topped out at a round million inhabitants. Any more than that seems excessive though.

Lol, very much so!  The fact that the population of the city is going to be, iirc, bigger than my country is a little intimidating.  Used to live in Reading (went to uni there) and London was a fun place to visit but Reading itself was about the same size as Swansea.

Still moving because the misses lives there so at least there are some benefits!

Anyhow, I have played my Eldar Ulthwé for a couple of years now, but have been in Warhammer for about 12ish years if my memory serves me right.
Sadly Eldar is the only army I have left, so I will try and get pictures of my army later on.

Got almost 10k worth of orks waa (for when I feel really insane)10k space (slightly heretical fluffwise) marines, 10k chaos space (obviously very heretical) marines and 10k (and growing) eldar, my pride and joy, my very own craftworld in birth. So I tend to apoc, fluffy games if I can choose.
Been lurking here for a while, I've found this place a so great one be for background, be for tactics, be for gallery. And good behaviour too!

Hey everyone! I happened across this site looking for clarification of rules as well as some strategies for noobs. I'm relatively new to WH40k. I have been in and out of it for a few years, but am just getting really into it now. I've played maybe 6-7 games with some friends who got into it with me. I play a codex chapter of space marines called Dark Templar(following the UM 5ed codex), which I recently found out is an already existing chapter. My current goal is to collect and assemble an entire chapter of marines, and yes I mean 1000 marines organized into 10 companies. Before I get onto some rambling I'll tie it up here. I'm glad I found this site and look forward to becoming an active member of the comunity.

Greetings one and all...

Been into 40K since the tail end of Rogue Trader days...only played intermittantly lately as my regular gaming buddy has gotten into LoTR of late. My son is now taking an interest, so I recently got rid of all my figures and started my own army from scratch again, in tandem with him starting a collection.

Slowly building up an army...so may well be on the Chaos boards asking army building questions!

Ther are a few popular ways to play the Ulthwé-themed Eldar army currently, and if you read just the first page of the Eldar Tactics and Armylist-forum you will a good crossection of some ideas. Otherwise you can sit down, make your own list and post it there(just read the forum rules first so you don't make any mistakes) and have other posters look it over and come in with suggestions.

Title: Re: Welcome all Newcomers!
Post by: BlackLegionaire on October 21, 2009, 04:25:50 PM
Well,there are more chapters than you can shake a stick at. What you need to do is do some research on the various chapters and figure what fits you. Welcome to 40k Online. :) My particular preference is Chaos Space Marines, but if you favour the loyalists there are the UltraMarines, Blood Angels, Dark Angels, Black Templars, Space Wolves and so many more. So I recommend doing your research. Hope this helps. :)

I'm from Sweden and am reasonably new to the 40k game. In the past I have just collected a few different armies but I have no gaming experience. I have visited this forum several times and since I decided to start to play more activly. I thought joining this forum might be a good way to discuss some army configurations and setups. I appologise if my English is a bit off. I don't get to use it that much unfortunatly. And I don't know how to get an English spellchecker on Firefox :P
Well I collect eldar right now. Have about 1000 points but it's unbalanced and probably illeagal for play. Have 3 heavy and only 3 troop choice. Never got the hang of how to use the Force organisation chart so I guess I just bought models that I liked :) I hope joining this forum will help me to grow as a warhammer player and that you guys will give me some tips on what to collect and some nice tactics. Well that was my introduction :)

Sincerly

Welcome to 40k Online and the gaming side of the hobby. :) I am sure you will find that there is much to be learned here, I know I have. As for the force orginization chart issue I would be glad to address that for you. It basically states how much of a certain unit selection you can have. It also tells you that minimum for any army is 1 HQ and 2 Troop Selections. After that it is optional to add 1 additional HQ selection, 4 additional troop selections, 3 selections from Elite, 3 selections from Fast Attack, and 3  selections from Heavy Support. This is just so armies dont just load up on too much of a good thing. Hope this helps. :)

Just so I don't missunderstand you. Could I use 3 heavy choices in an army regardless of it's points value if i have 2 troops and one HQ?
Thanks for the welcome by the way :)
Title: Re: Welcome all Newcomers!
Post by: BlackLegionaire on October 26, 2009, 01:41:35 PM
Yes, that is correct. As long as you have made the manditory selctions of 1 HQ and 2 Troops, you may take up to 3 Heavy support choices.
Title: Re: Welcome all Newcomers!
Post by: Autarch Kimmo on October 26, 2009, 01:52:14 PM
Ok thanks for clearing this up for me. I've had several theories about how to use the chart but now that I know I'm glad. Guess I've gotten off in a good start. Seems you understood me to. That means my English isn't worthless at least :)

Thanks again for the welcome

Hiya all,

I have been creeping around this forum for the last 4 months and only just decided to join. I play 40K, BFG and Bloodbowl. Used to play Rogue trader, epic(spacemarine), space hulk(1st ed) and Necromunda back in the day (Just to give you an idea of my age)
Only recently got back into 40k, have been collecting on and off the whole time though.

Wanted to say a quick hello, any other players in Sydney?

Hi 40Konline! Short time lurker here, been looking for a good forum dedicated to 40K that I could become a part of and this seems like a great place to do just that. So a bit about myself, I’m 21 and got into 40K from playing Dawn of War and that kicked off one mighty obsession! I spent years obsessively looking over background fluff, reading the novels, playing the video games (some good – Dawn of War…some not so good *cough* Fire Warrior *cough*) before I ever actually put paintbrush to model. I’ve been big into fanon, writing fanfic, and converting models based around a couple of the themed armies I have floating around in my head.

For a very long time 40K was just a hobby to me. I would collect models to paint or convert them. I only recently started playing the wargame 40k and don’t have a lot of experience with it. My “main” army consists of Black Templar with Grey Knight allies, seeing as how that’s the only friggin’ way I’m gonna get a psyker into that army. An Inquisitorial force consisting of Witch Hunters and allied Daemonhunters is another favorite, though I also will play Imperial Guard as the Catachan Jungle Fighters or da Orks.

Oh and to clear up any confusion. My name is not a reference to Uriel Ventris, Captain of the Ultramarines Fourth Company. My name was supposed to be a reference to the Grey Knights, hence Brother-Captain, and Uriel was just the first name I thought of. I didn’t actually realize someone might make the connection until after I chose it. Actually I’m not a big player of the Ultramarines, nothing against them I just doubt the models I have go past 750 points and most of that is unpainted and set to be converted into Death Watch. But uh…that’s beside the point. I look forward to being a part of the goings-on here, I’ve got a lot of pictures to share of converted models, some fanon and themed armies I’d like to run past the people here for constructive criticism.  :)

Just discovered this site while randomly browsing through 40K forums. Its awesome so far! Started the 40K love by playing Dawn Of War(and all its expansions), then getting most of the books and afterwards infecting all my friends with the 40K bug and then taking 40K to the web, painting figures online , reading and writing army fluff. After I got outa school, I got around looking for the GW stores listed in White Dwarf for my country. I could'nt find any, so I opened my own tiny little 40K shop.

My seemingly retarded nickname for the Imperium's finest came from a hilarious video,(Warhammer 40k: Dawn of Awesome (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeCfod1XT7E#normal))  based off a 40K game- Dawn of War: SoulStorm, which has very crappy voiceovers.

Thank you for the welcome faitherun, I look forward to sharing with all of you. PMF is correct actually, according to the Black Templar codex, page 23 concerning the special rule "Abhor the Witch" the codex states --

Quote
No model with psychic powers may be fielded as an ally to the Black Templars and they will not fight as allies to any army that includes models with psychic powers, with the exception of the Grey Knights Space Marines.

I sense there may be some confusion and perhaps you didn't see what I wrote about the Grey Knights so here is the sentence again to alleviate any confusion. :)

My “main” army consists of Black Templar with Grey Knight allies, seeing as how that’s the only friggin’ way I’m gonna get a psyker into that army.

Greetings from the Webway!

Just getting back into the game after a long break, I got hooked on 1st edition Space Hulk some 20 years ago.... Gutted I missed out on the new version.

Started building an Eldar army, its mostly Eldar that I have had in stasis for about a decade. I have decided on the  Biel-tan Craftworld for it. I hope to get a blog, or something similar, going showing the different units as they progress.

Thanks Rasmus - already people are very welcoming, and even though I'm thoroughly bewildered by all the things I've read so far, it's exciting being at the start of it, waiting to start an army, learning how to paint, and then kicking the living, well, rampant goat out of rampant goat ;)

My name is Isaac. I play Eldar for about two years now. I'm currently on a 40k Sabbatical, as I'm currently working as a missionary in the Dominican Republic for a year.

Hey all, thought I would get round to introducing myself. I've lurked on the forums for quite a while now.

Currently doing my final year for my physics degree so don't get as much time to paint as I would like. However aside from that I enjoy the hobby. During University I left most of my models at home and only just started again so I only had my Lord of the Rings models to play with. As a result I have had to start some new armies (such a shame). My space marines are almost done and my guard are a slow work in progress.

However I feel the need to collect a new Eldar army (again) so I feel like the guard may be a work in progress for sometime. Especially with Christmas coming up.

Thanks to all of you for the warm welcome! With a little extra to Verdammte for the explanation in the konversion forum!
It might be a while before you see me with any trenches dug though Rasmus.. I'm in a bit of a rural area and the nearest model shops a good 1/2 an hour away... :-\

Ha!  The closest LGS to me is an hour's drive, but that doesn't stop me from playing, modeling, painting (well, maybe I don't paint much :P).

Welcome to 40kO!, Feth it all.  We're happy to have you as part of our community.  And, you don't have to worry about driving to get together with us all. :)

That can be overcome by some easier than others though NH.

Welcome anyways!  I'm also a good half-hour from my LGS that stocks Warhammer as well.  I've found that ordering in batches through them, or ordering online are easy ways to combat living a long distance away.  At one point I was much further from the closest LGS (nearly 500 km.....).

Um... I guess I'm new to 40k, I play ogres in fantasy and have amassed a good sized army. I'm looking forward to playing a witch hunters army WITHOUT those Sisters of Battle. Insted I'm adding some Imperial Guard because Witch Hunters seems pretty hrad without SoB. Well, Hello i guess!

Hello everyone,
I'm a new addition into the 40k world (5th edition at least), having come back to the hobby after a 12 year break :D

You'll find me in the space marine area, after again going back to my first love, after in no particular order, high elves, Imperial guard (3rd), Empire, Ogres, Space marines (2nd and 3rd) and finally Orcs (fantasy).

Sevael here. I registered some time ago and have been lurking about the forums since.

I at long last passed my morale check and managed to start posting one or two comments in the forum lol!

Been playing 40k more actively in the past year or so. My main army is Eldar (Iyanden). I also have a Space Marine army (Deathwing).

But i've been having much fun with my Iyanden army of late and have also finally gotten round to painting them :)

Hello, all. My name's oparsenal and I play Guard. I was searching for a nickname for my (first) army, the Cadian 175th, and I found this site. I'm a freak for boards, so I'm really looking forward to being here and contributing. I do have a question: if I want to detail the exploits of my army both in-character and OOC where would I do that? The syntax of that last sentence wanged hard. I'll do better in the future.

Glad to be here.
Title: Re: Welcome all Newcomers!
Post by: Rasmus on March 9, 2010, 01:15:20 AM
Welcome to 40konline oparsenal. Enjoy the Community!
If you want to write fiction then there is a fiction-board specifically for it. If you want to write battlereports then we have a board for that too. Mixing the two would be best offered in the battle-reports forum I believe. The Fiction-board does not handle OOC well. Poke around, see what you think.

Spilt personality?  Don't be ridiculous!  I'm not crazy!  My windshield wipers said so!

P.S:

I may have lead some amongst you to falsely believe that Sanctjud was both a bear, and a danger to your bodily orifices.  This was a lie on my part, for which I am truly sorry.

Sanctjud has never been anything but kind, gentle and generous, especially to the younger amongst us.  Don't believe me?  Join him inside his van, and you will see some things which will change you......for the better!

So all you newbies out there, rush to the Space Tavern, and meet up with ''Uncle'' Sanct, who is not terrorizing me, or anybody else for that matter, in anyway! :D

Welcome to the forums!  First and foremost, you'll want to head to the Nids boards and see what they have to offer, and any other perspective army board just to check things out.  As for painting, check out the painting and modelling boards and what not, as they can help you make your army better.  For fun and games you can come to the tavern, just make sure you read the warning in my sig before jumping in head first.  Anywho, welcome to the forums!

No problem... oh damn, I didn't answer.

Welcome to 40KO.  Don't listen to the warnings, I don't bite... :D

As for painting, everybody has different reasons for play and the strengths lie all over the place, but what I can tell you from my experience:
1. Painted models play better...it's science.
2. Painted models look better even painted badly, but with a little care.
3. Keep at it, it only gets better and try for a 'less is more' angle.
4. Would you like some candy with the paint? :D

I want to start playing Warhammer, but i don't know what i need to do to start. I cant decide if i should play as the space marines or the eldar. Which would you recommend? And to get started should i buy an army or what?
Title: Re: Welcome all Newcomers!
Post by: Bassiecore on June 11, 2010, 04:52:11 PM
try to get down to a local Games workshop store, the staff are kind usually and will probably alow you to use some of their models until you get a feel for the game (at least mine did =))
in my opinion, you should start Eldar, simply because there are WAY too many marine players out there.

Although I have a decent sized Space Marine army, I could always expand it a little.

Hi all! I'm back in the world of 40k after a break of 10 years (I started playing 2nd ed, there were still SQUATS when I began...god I feel old...  ;D ). I stopped playing due to university and other committments, but was still buying odd pieces now and then to paint.

I originally played Ultrasmurfs, with a smattering of Eldar (back when the Avatar had a toughness of 8) and Tyranids for variety, but i've decided to start fresh with Imperial Guard, mostly because my painting back then was FAR too embarrasing to show now! I'm also going to develop a Necron force on the side (more money-friendly, and also these guys were only just coming out when I stopped and i've always wanted to try them on for size!)

Looking forward to my first few games under the new rules. Everything moving at 6" (as opposed to 2nd ed 4"), the rules for reserves and outflank as well as the new orders system has me salivating.

I look forward to contributing to the forum!

welcome

sounds like you'll have your hands full

if i may give advice if as a fellow embarrassingly bad early painter nail polish remover is your friend for turning your old models into awesome models. Sometimes people will mistake your obsolete models for something new and cool(like my crystal skull wielding dark reaper whose now a spiritseer)

Necrons have a curve but i understand the allure having started 40k around the time you left and the necron raiders were the rage for small games at my club(back then we had one fancy elite choice and no h.support and we liked it). they are easy to paint though and having played before though mechanics has changed the curve may not be as bad for you
Title: Re: Welcome all Newcomers!
Post by: AndrewKelly on July 6, 2010, 04:21:07 AM
I never thought of using acetone to clean them off. I had a few squads short of a full SM company so with a bit of cleaning and repainting I could always use them as an option.

I understand the learning curve for Necrons, and that is also one of the reasons why I fancied a go!

Hi everybody. Been lurking for about a week or so, and finally decided to introduce myself.  Just got started playing 40k back in march since I waited until my first batch of models were painted to start playing. I play Imperial Guard painted in a  Starship Troopers-esque Grey & Black color scheme (Verhoeven not Heinlein). Will post some examples as soon as I can figure out how.  My army is a combined Cadian/Catachan force organized as a reinforced company sized unit. Currently have 2 full platoons of Infantry (working on a third) plus support elements. Currently 2 Leman Russ tanks (punishers until i can convert them with magnets) a single Basilisk and a Valkyrie. Planning to upgrade to a full battery of Basilisks, 2 full squadrons of Leman Russ tanks and either another Valkyrie or a Vendetta.

Oh, don't be ridiculous. Don't you know a 5+ save won't do you any good? Chaos bolters just ignore it ;D.

But really, you'll need atleast a storm shield if you are going to the tavern. I recommend not going at all. Very nasty place. Visit the Chaos forums for advice on Daemons, if you would like it.

Hello everyone, I started to play at the tail end of the Eye of Terror campaign, but stopped a couple years back. Now looking to ease my way back into the game. I play both Imperial Guard(Cadians lead the way) and Dark Eldar, I do suspect my paints have all dried up which means both my armies will forever be almost painted.
Just alittle about me, I'm an officer cadet, I like country music and long walks in foggy forests and hills (beaches are for chumps).

Hi myrymma & welcome to 40KO. From my experience I will say that if it has just been a couple of years your paints (if they are GW) may surprise you and some may be useable by the addition of a small amount of water.

Been lurking a but around here, reading tactics and checking out army lists for a lil while now. Thought I'd take a moment to say hello. I've been with the GW hobby for a long time (-92), but primarily the modeling part due to lack of people to play with. I have a DA army without focus or intent.

Right now I'm looking to refine the forces I have to shape one or two basic army lists, as I currently find myself with a place and people to play. My plan is to play some battles with them, learn from the experience and compare what I observe with what people here write. I've no idea what kind of tactics I'm prone to use. But from what little experience I have, coming to the table with a list that has a plan and purpose seems to be my number one priority right now.

Looking forward to learning more!

Hey guys,

Currently I'm working on building an Eldar amry, creating my own craftworld and all that jazz; plus, I have been getting into the books from the Black Library. I also pre-ordered the Ultramarines movie today! Anyways, I'll see you guys around on the site and hopefully will get to play you someday!

Welcome! Finally, a newbie with good grammar and netequitte!

I'm sure you'll like our forum and find it helpful. May I suggest taking a look at the Eldar Forum? Plenty of good stuff there. I believe there is also a post or an article on designing your own craftworld. This did used to be EldarOnline instead of 40kOnline. So this forum may be the perfect home for you. We reward the people who don't go "lolz, my SMC aboslutely pwnd ur uber dudez!!!!!1!!!!"

Yeah "txt" posts do get annoying. Space Marines are pretty epic, but are too popular and indoctrinated for my tastes so the Eldar work the best. I've also become interested in eventually building a Soul Drinkers army after reading the first three books.

Just joined the forum and thought I should say hello.

Honestly, I've never played a single game of WH40k. I've been playing board games for years and recently decided to try my hand at wargames. I've long admired the miniatures but was always overwhelmed by the idea of painting a large army. After skimming the current catalog of minis, I finally decided to take the plunge.

I'm hoping to learn from everyone here in the forum and hopefully contribute an idea or two myself. I've been building model kits for years - perhaps I can add a bit to discussions about the hobby.

Cheers!

Hi, I'm Juroda, and I've been in the hobby since Christmas 2007. I am also on The Tyranid Hive, Heresy Online, The Bolter and Chainsword, and The Herdstone. I live in Dublin, Ireland. I saw my close friend, darkreaperexarch13 online here yesterday, so I decided to join. Lookin forward to be apart of the threads.

Hi, I'm a pretty big Eldar fan with a decent sized Eldar army as well as the beginnings of Dark Eldar and High Elf forces. :) My favourite system is WOTR but very few people at my local store care about anything Lord Of The Rings related. :(

I like to think I'm a good painter as well. (Sadly my gaming isn't as high quality as my brush skills)

Thanks for the welcome. I got into Warhammmer 40k about 2 years ago after reading the first Space Wolf Omnibus. Due to this Space Marines, and the particularly the Wolves of Fenris have a special place in my heart. Just this past semester at school, got a game of DeathWatch going, got some good interest in that, but sort of fell apart near the end. Now I am looking to get into the miniatures, if not playing tournaments and games, then just for collecting.

Hello & welcome to the site Zarl. Though new to this site I'm guessing from your listed armies that you have been in this hobby for awhile.

Hey,

Thanks for the welcome :)

I've been gaming on and off for around 14 years now, during which I've played/collected most things (Battlefleet Gothic all the way!), though settled down to 40k and Guard in particular given the current incarnation of rules and models.

See you on the boards!

i was wondering does anybody know a good thread on 40k online for people to advertise? i have a complete and unused 1997 gorkamorka set that i wanted to put up for sale, i'm sure someone would love to give it a good home!
any advice would be much appreciated thanks :)

So, Hi guys!  ;)


I'm Brynjolf Irontooth (or as you have guessed, that's my Space Wolf name  ;D) and play WH40k now for a year or 6 (7?).

I first started playing Space Wolves as I had the closest connection with them (being a Dwarf and Ulric devoted Empire player - 12 or 13 years already in the hobby and even longer in you count Heroquest  ;)).f
Since then I have started playing Blood Angels as well and now finally started buying (or to be honest getting them from Santa  ;D) Dark Eldar boxes.

I'm not one of those gamers that just jumps on the cart once a new army gets released and then dissappears again if the army doesn't appear to be tough enough. I have always wanted an Alien force and Dark Eldar always intriged(?) me, ... but the models just were ugly as hell, but as the Dark Elves got some amazing releases, I didn't give up hope. Dark Eldar would one day get great models to. And see, that day has come.  8)

Oh in case people wonder, I'm 24 years old and I'm busy at my last year Master in Mathematics.   ??? Yeah I know.  ;)

Hello BI and welcome to 40k online!

I suggest you check out the space marine board, we have quite a few space wolf and blood angels players such as yourself. Also glad to see you aren't one of those people who just started space wolves simply because "grey hunters have counter attack and TWO meltaguns! OMG! I will pwn y0u n00bs!"

Back in the days Grey Hunter's counterattack didn't do much, costed 18p a model, and could only take one meltagun.  :D

Thanks for the SM subfora invitation, but I will pass on that for the first few weeks (months?) as I'm pretty much here for the Dark Eldar subfora. But thanks for the welcome!  ;)

Hi there...

Just returned to this site after an absence of too many years...was a member here YEARS ago when it was just Eldar Online, but that was several email addresses and passwords ago, so will just start afresh here.

I'm a dad....I'm a wargamer...I'm a hobbyist...I luff background & fluff, gaming, and modelling / painting in equal measure....just don't get as much time as I'd like for any of it!

40K wise I play Chaos, Space Wolves, Ravenwing and Necrons...just starting a Salamanders force. For YEARS I played Eldar / Dark Eldar...but in recent years have leapt into power armour with a passion!

Hope to see you all around the forums...

To be honest you are lucky, I think, at least you have chosen your army and colour scheme. A lot of new starts struggle with that step. Hell I've been around since Heroquest and still not decided on which Space Marine army to collect.

New guy reporting in.

Had masses of 40k as a kid (5-6 years of it in fact), and kinda shelved it just before 4th edition came out. Got talked into taking it up again, and grabbed the AoBR set, so yeah.

Can't remember how much/what I've got of my old stuff (going home from uni this weekend to pick it up amoungst other things), but theres a sizable ultramarine and chaos contingent, with some orks and possibly some necrons. And some cadian IG. There'll be a surprise in every box when I open them up.

Probably gonna start up a vanilla based SM army again, and not sure what else. Tau call to me, but unsure about mostly shooting armies. We'll see.

But yeah, hi.

Hi Dysphonia and welcome,

Just wondering, if the Tau are calling you, how come you bought an AoBR box set? Hope you don't mind me asking but do you actually suffer from dysphonia?

Was kind of an impluse buy, and I knew I had other marine/ork stuff to use it with, so figured it was a good buy. The idea for a tau army came after actually. might be one of those things I work on over a long period of time as an extra thing.

And nope, just like the word. I find neurological disorders have fairly good sounding names, and I've got an interest in neurological disorders anyway (I'm a third year neuroscience student, so yeah)

Hi Everyone. Just joined thought I'd introduce myself.

I'm totally new to this game, still working through the rule book learning the basics. I bought the Assault on Black Reach set, I figured it would be a good start. But I have yet to decide Which army I want to build. I'm leaning towards the Imperial Guard. However it's very difficult as I think all of the Imperium factions are intriguing and quite frankly I want to build an army consisting of all them. I've started painting the space marines in a scheme I thought was my own idea, but as it turns out with a bit of research it bares an eerie similarity to the White Panthers space marine Chapter. As I'm learning my hands are nowhere near steady and painting is beginning to become frustrating, but I wont give up. Anyways I hope to learn lots from these forums and perhaps it will help me make a decision about which army to choose.
Title: Re: Welcome all Newcomers!
Post by: The GrimSqueaker on March 4, 2011, 09:07:27 PM
Welcome to the forum.  :)

Don't worry too much about finding just the right army for yourself at this point. Continue with reading the rule book, painting the models you've already picked up, and reading through different threads on different boards if the topic intrigues you. There's no hurry in any of this and when you settle down on a set of armies you like you're always able to pick up a codex to read to see what you are able to do with them on the table top.

Hi to all.
My friends use to call me just Razor. I've been playing tyranids for many years (about 12) althought I've quited WH40k in many times. Once again, I'm back, I hope to stay for at least 12 more years  ;D I very happy of meeting such a good comunity as the one in these forums. I've read for weeks before I decided to register and I could realized there are a lot of people with great knowledges and the will to share them with others around the comunity. That's why I decided to join 40konline.com, to be able to learn and share with the best possible quantity and quality.

I really got very impressed by some Tyranids players and I hope to feel the same in the future about some Space Marine players since it's quite probably I'll beging playing some Chapter of them.

Lots of fun with WH40K to all.

Hi JoBob, thanks for your welcome.
I'm quite lost about Space Marines, I've been reading for days and currently I'm considering one of these 3 possibilities:
- Blood Angels
- Ultra Marines
- Create a new chapter

Anyway, I'll post it right now in the Space Marines Forum. Any help or point of view will always be welcome  ;)

Post by: Chie Satonaka on April 4, 2011, 09:53:42 AM
Create a new chapter for sure! The Ultramarines are "ultra", but creating a new chapter is always better. Even if it is just a successor chapter to the Ultramarines. It allows you to put your own spin on the fluff and make the chapter your own.

C:SM has a huge amount of flexibility in the types of armylists it allows you to create. Dreadnought wall? Yep. Biker? Yeah. Mechanized? Definitely. The list goes on and on.

BA, on the other hand, only have a few different types of lists, but what they do, they do better than C:SM in most cases.

I'm new to the forum, but I've been in the hobby for some 12 years now.
I've had just about every army produced by GW during this time, but I've always had a love for the Dark Eldar fluff, and with the new DE mini's out, I figured it was about time I started them.
Hopefully I can find inspiration, and the occasional help here, as well as bring these to those that need it.

I bought my son a box of Guardians and Eldrad for Xmas, cos he was really interested. But he's bored with them already, and they haven't been out of the box for six weeks.

I'm trying again tonight.

Any tips on how to get my wife to play would also be appreciated.

I'm new to 40K, I've collected the Games Workshop Lord of the Rings strategy battle game for ages (since the films really) and had a few Warhammer 40K and Warhammer Fantasy models simply because I liked the look of them, but my friend convinced me to take the plunge so I bought the Assault on Black Reach and have decided to start a Space Marine army.

Salutations…

I’ve been lurking in the shadows of 40K Online for some time… watching, listening, waiting… and have finally decided to emerge, ready to cast my own thoughts, opinions and feedback before you all!

But a little about me… I’d taken a long break from Warhammer 40,000, from some time during 3rd edition. Then a couple of years ago I found myself being lured into the vortex of wargaming and cool little plastic toys yet again when a group of friends started painting/playing. I’d been a staunch Dark Eldar player since their original release and so after a brief recon into my folk’s loft had an army ready to go. But time hadn’t been too kind to the Dark Eldar… and Dark Lance spam just couldn’t cut it against some of the armies my friends threw against me. Fortunately the delicious new Dark Eldar Codex was just around the corner opening up leagues up dark possibilities for my Dark Kin!

I play as often as possible and my friends and I are soon starting a new 40K ‘club’ locally. We’re also intending to enter a large tournament at the beginning of 2012. I’ve dabbled with vanilla Space Marines and Chaos, but the look and play-style of the Dark Eldar is where my dark heart is really.

I love experimenting with different lists, checking out tactics online and reading about people’s thoughts on what’s hot and what’s not. From here, you’ll most likely find me on the Dark Eldar threads, somewhere between the dark corners of 40k online and the edges of the Webway…

Looking forward to meeting you all!

Hi, I've been lurking the forums for about a year, so I guess I can now at least introduce myself.

I got into w40k by Dawn of War games, lured mostly by its background - or maybe just the bits of hard sci-fi in it. I play only occasionally as an addition to reading. Being an Eldar "fan" doesn't make that reading hobby easier as there are not that many books in the topic. I'm currently constructing an Craftworld-Corsair army from CE and DE models, yet it takes ages.
And now I'm posting in such topics to maybe get involved in POC some day.

Mmmm.....cookies! *slurp!*

Ahem....

Well, time to introduce myself, I guess.

My name is Roger and I'm as old as my hair and a little older than my teeth (oh, all right, all right - I'm 53 and male). I'm from Northern Ireland and between jobs at the moment.

I got into Wargaming a long time ago. I used to play with little Airfix soldiers until I was about 15, then had a huge hiatus from that hobby until about 15 years ago when I spotted the painted models in the local GW store. I thought "Hey I could do that!" (WRONG!!) So 15 years later I can now paint to a good standard and am still getting beaten by younger folk.
 
I had started out playing SM and Necrons for a few years, then someone handed me a Tau Battleforce and a Devilfish and said Try these, I don't want them. 14,000pts later.... 

I try to play once a week, alternating between my clubs - Bad Company in Newtownards, and Creative Destruction in Portadown - and the GW store in Belfast

My armies are as follows: all points values are approximate of course.
Necrons 5k+,
Harlequin-based Eldar army about 4k,
13th Co Wulfen army of about 2500pts,
2k-ish of White Scars
5k of Space Wolves,
2500pts of Ravenwing,
3k Grey Knights,
about 5k of  Emperor's Children
14,000pts of Tau. (yes you do see 3 zeroes there).

I also have a WW2 British Commandos army which is played using the AlternateWarhammer WW2 rules found on the web, a Protectorate of Menoth battlegroup, Soviets for Secrets of the Third Reich and Van Saar for Necromunda.

I have to say that I don't have any particular favourite army to play against as long as my opponent and I have a good fun time playing. If I had to make a choice as to the army I least like to play against it would have to be Nids. I don't really know why.

40k has had some good times for me, with probably the best being when I won a 40k official GW Tournament in Northern Ireland about 8 years ago. The worst: well, there haven't been any really.

As far as other people's attitudes to my hobby is concerned, my daughter just doesn't understand the attraction (thank goodness! It means I don't have to buy her an army), and my wife seems to have accepted that her husband is a big child.

Apart from playing table top wargames with tiny fighting men, I like reading and eating. Especially eating.

I'm looking forward to participating on this site.

Well welcome to the community eiglepulper, big children fit in well here. (Not people barely older than their teef though. How do you build an army without spending some teef?)

You will find many insightful people here to all things even vaguely related to 40k. So enjoy yourself!

Hello im fairly new here but i was lurking around some time so finally i registered, im glad to see a forum for eldar players seeing that much marine love everywhere makes me a bit sick but well, i can say i have been playing with eldar for like 1 year, they are my first and last army im sure about that (totally love them, their fluff, tactics, trickery, models, flexibility). Im Biel-Tan oriented (painting related and army building) but with adding a personal mark (like adding some black details to the colour scheme) i recently finished a wave serpent that i would love to post but i dont have the camera yet =/. Well thats all i guess  =)

Welcome to the forum.

I see that you've already found the Eldar section, so I've no need to direct you there.  Take a look at the stickies in Beginners and Newbies section to familiarise yourself with forum, and ask if you have any questions.

Hello all,
I began playing Warhammer 40K way back in second edition; you know the box that came with the cardboard Ork Dreadnaught?  Well ever since then I’ve been hooked on the game, making/painting the models and the Fluff of the 40K universe.  I don’t play much, as I live in the sticks and there aren’t many 40k players (two in fact, within 50 miles). But I enjoy collecting, building and painting almost as much.
I have several armies, some big collections that could never be fielded in a single game and some barely large enough to make it tournament legal.   As I love the Fluff of 40K each army has its own name, characters and history.  I will post those later.
1.   Blood Angles Successor Chapter: The Blood Knights (I named my chapter that long before they appeared in the 4th ed. Codex) Approx.: 5,000+ points
2.   Craftworld Eldar: (um… not really mine it’s my brothers who hasn’t played in years and he kind of gave it to me… only played it once or twice…and no Fluff yet) Approx. 3,000 pts.
3.   Dark Eldar: Kabal of the Poisoned Shadow Approx.: 3,000+ pts.  (My favorite army by far)
4.   Orks: Bolta’ Brainz’ Boyz: Approx. 1,500 pts.
5.   Imperial: just began building this one
Basically, I’m here to connect with the 40k community at large and see what others are doing out there in the Grim Darkness. I’m looking forward to hangout here!
So that’s the all the first date stuff…

Welcome to the forum.

I remember that boxed set very well.  I still own the box, and the original ruins from the card sets that came with it.

You'll find plenty of people who are able to help you, and perhaps others who you can help, in all the different boards for the armies you play.  Just remember to take a good look at the forum rules (http://www.40konline.com/index.php?action=about;sa=rules) and sticky threads before you get too involved with posting  :).

I'm extremely new to 40k, I haven't ever played a game and barely know the rules truth be told, but two weeks ago I found myself in Games Workshop buying some very nice gifts for myself!

Thought it would be helpful to join a forum such as this and involve myself with the community a bit, so, it's nice to meet you all! Please excuse the no doubt annoying questions I'll inevitably end up asking whilst I'm here...

Thank you! Yeah I was made aware of it soon as I got home and started reading around on forums like this one! I felt a bit dumb for a while but wasn't deterred-- I figured it better that I'm playing an army I actually like, and I don't mind being on the losing end of a good few rounds until I pick up some experience.

If all else fails, my housemate is thinking of starting up with the "Dark Vengeance" box, and has told me I can go halfsies XD

Post by: The GrimSqueaker on November 1, 2012, 10:21:00 PM
Don't worry about an army being classified as having a difficult learning curve. As long as you're have fun playing it that's all that really matters in the end. Who won or lost is meaningless compared to wanting to do it all over again.

Hello everyone. I played a bit in 5th edition with Vanilla Marines but could never really get into it. Then Dark Vengeance came out and I could not resist purchasing it.

Now I have a bunch of marines that I am thinking of converting to Chaos. Not really sure how or where to start; I was thinking they could be recent defectors to the dark side. Perhaps I could paint them all differently except for the true Chaos models which would match each other.

I posted in the Chaos forum already and Irisado was kind enough to help me think through a list idea.

Ola Peeps!

I'm very new to WH40k, and haven't even started picking up the pieces of my army(ies) yet, although I plan to in the near future. I plan on running Chaos as my primary army, and eventually I'd like to build up Necron and Ork armies as well.

I tend to dig in to a lot of information and like to learn as much about a topic as possible, so I may be bouncing all over the place reading various posts, builds, tactics, etc.

I'm an avid fan of strategy and tactics games, history, movies, etc. and WH 40k will be my first delve into this gaming medium (I have however played Battletech for decades).

well look forward to our discussions and ttyl!

Still like beer.  Although it's on hiatus while the missus is pregnant, sort of.

40K is the main deal with SM/SW/IG although I keep trying to get into WFB. Just the fluff doesn't float my boat. Also partial to Blood Bowl, Necromunda, Gothic and even Epic  when I can find opponents.

Hello all. Old player getting back into it again. I played way back when while in high school and college (late 90s, early 2000s), ended up quitting for a while and selling all my stuff (I know). Over the past few years I've been playing a game or two every month or every other month, mostly whenever work allows. Mostly CSM and Daemons, although lately I've been building up an IG army for the heck of it.

Oh yeah. I live in Maryland.

Hello from the Portland area...no not the east cost one, the one at the other end of the long trail! My forum name is Alexi, its a nickname for a game I played for alot of years. Anyway, I have been kinda into 40k for 2 years or so? A couple years ago me and a buddy each bought an Assualt on Black Reach started kit and traded armies so each of us had twice the army size. I had read a number of Space Marine books, so I got the marines. I got busy with work, family and life and 40k fell to the wayside.

Recently however, I have started back into it. My army went from roughly 800- ish points to almost 1500. I will admit that with every mini I get and paint I get better at that part of it. I am playing roughly once a week or so at home with my son, learning by teaching, sorta. I still have issues and am discovering a sad lack of certain unit types in my arsenal, but, I keep plugging away.

As for my favorite part of the hobby? I enjoy the play, painting (a bit ocd at times) and the fluff. When I got my minis back out of storage, I decided I wanted to collect, paint anf feild an entire chapter. Including fluff for each company, squad and such. Yes, I know thats gonna be a HUGE undertaking. I dont plan on having it done any time soon. I am doing a vanilla chapter, just slightly orginized different. 10 battle companies with 1 10 man squad worth of scouts assigned to each company. No one primarch, it is a mix of all the primarchs. (this way I can add all the different styles of molds to one army)

Any questions comments concerns advise what ever. I figure if you wanna take the time to respond I will at LEAST take the time to read it, possibly respond and hopefully learn something. Even if that just happens to be that we disagree.

Post by: Expendable Guardsman on December 10, 2013, 11:23:32 AM
Hello all,i am new here but not new to Warhammer 40K.

As you can tell,im a guardsmen,and while im expendable by nature im more so then any other guardsman in entire regiment.
Most people aren't sure if the Emperor has a sense of humor,but i do,and let me tell you is it a dark one.
As a guardsman in the Vostroyan Firstborn,it is my duty to make sure i pay back the rest of the imperium for my home worlds refusal to aid in the Heresy
And i think the Emperor has chosen me to do much more than that,because for whatever reason,every time i fall in battle i simply rise again several days latter to retreat*BLAM*i mean advance in the direction of friendly lines to return to active service.
The first time this happened was odd,because i was tried for heresy by the regimental commissar,executed,and simply returned to life in a body bag before they could ship me out.They tried this several times again,and ever time i came back,eventually they got sick of it and just said it was the work of the emperor and not that of the gods of chaos,and returned me with las-rifle in hand to the trenches.

So you see,i am the most expendable guardsman alive,because i am the only one the commander never has to worry about loosing...which just gives him an excuse to slap a melta gun in my hand and tell me to charge those tanks,or some other stupid plan that would get me killed.The joys of being immortal,though no matter how many times i tell them,they just don't understand that while i won't stay down because of it,it still FRAKING HURTS to take a las-cannon to the face to save a tank

Post by: Temperance on April 14, 2015, 06:46:40 PM
Hi all.

I used to play 40k with Eldar a long time ago... back in 2nd and 3rd edition mostly. Then I followed i pretty decently, but stopped having time to play. I picked up some Sisters of Battle in a more recent edition, as well as the rule book, but never really got a chance to take them out for a spin. I enjoyed the models and painting (though I wasn't half as talented as I'd like), but all the flyers and forgeworld stuff coming into popular use at that time was somewhat disconcerting to me. Eventually I put it up again.

The price was pretty steep and hard to justify (personally). After all, I wasn't getting any gaming use out of it, and I didn't really have the space (or desire) to turn my apartment into a public showcase for a bunch of nuns with guns that had been painted, at the very best, with a healthy dose of mediocrity.

I haven't done much since then, although I've kept on lurking and following along.

The new Eldar release coming up has me pretty excited though, so I thought I'd sign up and say hi. Those models look cool. And harlequins are back again! I also thought I'd ask you guys if you felt it was at all wise to get on that bandwagon and pick some up, or if you think I'm simply fooling myself through the liberal use of nostalgia into spending (wasting?) a few hundred dollars on pretty minis for a game that I'll probably not get to play much (and that, if I did get to play, I might not like all that much in the first place - I found the start of flyers and forgeworld pretty disconcerting at the time, and it seems like it's turned into an even more "anything goes" sort of format of late).

My understanding is also that GW has sort of drawn back on letting it's stores be used as places of gaming? Any insight there? Because if I did get games in, that's certainly the only hope I'd have of doing it. Brick and Mortar stores may be a bit old fashioned now but, honestly, I'd never have gotten into this game without the in-store support/community building that used to go on there. Otherwise I'd just have been collecting a bunch of (imo) gorgeous but vastly overpriced models with some fun pulp fiction on the side.
Title: Re: Welcome all Newcomers!
Post by: Irisado on April 15, 2015, 06:05:39 AM
Welcome to 40K Online :).

One of the reasons why I don't play any more is because of the very issue you mention, the increasing tendency towards 'anything goes'.  It's important to note that if your friends or local gaming group isn't into flyers, knights, or titans, you can still play 40K with just infantry and vehicles.  It's the people you game with who, along with you, set the parameters of how you play the game, so if you are interested in playing some games again, but don't want the table to be dominated by flyers and knights, then see if you can find some like minded people who will play the game that way :).

Regarding the Eldar and Harlequins, you've picked the right time to get back into them, and if you like the models, why not invest in a few?  I understand your point about wanting to get some use out of them, but even if you can't play any games for the moment, you might still want to get some if you like the modelling and painting side of the hobby.  It doesn't matter if your painting is mediocre by the way.  It's all about whether you enjoy it.

Welcome :D

Well personnally with ly studies going i don't have much time to play either but i like having all my minis on my desk gradually getting painted. Sooo if you want to get back into the hobby give it a go^^ i'm sure that you will find sole people to paly at some point ^^. As irisado said you guy's are setting the rules for your games, so see with your opponents to adapt things. Personnally I love flyer cause they are cool looking ^^ i want to play an army of full flyer one day^^ Just for the fun of it.
And when i cna't play i look at the battle report read the things in here, etc. You can always find something to do when it comes to 40k related.

Havz fun and looking forward to be talking with you.

[Use White glue, instead of modelling glue? ;) ]

Welcome aboard! In the past, GW has had a way of letting things get out of hand, before reigning things back in. I expect that 8th edition will be such a stroke.

I can't recall if it was 3-4 edition, or 4-5 edition, there were codices where complete and total customization of armies seemed to be the idea. Everyone had every weapon / upgrade imaginable. And then they cut it back. Made things more streamlined, everyone lost a bunch of options. That is hopefully happening again. Unbound, multi-FOC, multiple source army building... what it does is make it legal to run an army comprised of a few models from each Faction. Yay, I'm power-gaming! What-have-you. Allies lets you buy two half-forces, neither of which comprises an army in its own right...

8th Edition: No multi-source armies! The cries go out! "But I can't play either of these forces at a size I want, unless I buy more models! My models aren't a cohesive force, I'll never play 40k again!" But then people realize that they're pretty much pot-commited. So they go out an buy a few more units, and they buy a few more special weapon duders. And yes, all those PF Sergeants that everyone used in 5th edition became mostly useless in 6/7th edition, so they bought some new dudes without combat upgrades, or made some Power Sword guys because getting plinked in a challenge because you strike last is not good.

GW lets you play whatever you want, for a while. They're in the business of selling models, not games, according to their public policy. But all of a sudden, game balance is important to them again, so while you might have bought hundreds of dollars worth of candy to play with, now you need some veggies if you want to play the game still. So people go out and buy veggies... you know... the models that aren't as fun, but you need them to fulfill win conditions [IE: Troops in 5th edition, with a Transport.] so you buy them. Except now, you've got two half-armies. So you do that for two armies, not just one!

So anyhow, I hope you'll see a less loosey-goosey edition the next time around. Based on 6-7'ths turn around, that should be in a few months. ;) I'm personally pot-commited to 40k. Too many years and too many paycheques into it to go elsewhere, and my gaming group is much the same. I currently have a near-weekly matchup with a friend that likes White Scars and a pair of Knights. I'm playing a lot more 40k lately than I have since high school, and it's a frustrating experience to say the least. I'm desperately hoping that 8th, when it comes, brings some structure back to the game. I keep trying to find a way to play, "the way I like" within this framework, but am having a great deal of difficulty so far. I'm considering some 3-Codex options of Imperial Guard, Inquisition, and Blood Angels to see if I can coble together a Frankenstein's Monster of dead parts to make a working whole. *shrug*

It's hear-say and slander, but I hear that other games are easier to get into, financially, and that they have rising popularity because the companies treat them a little less like money-sponges to wring out at their leisure. So if you aren't deep into 40k yet, you might be interested in other Table Top games. Just throwing it out there. 40k can still be fun, just depends on your expectations.

*** Which is not to say you shouldn't give 40k a shot! Just keep your options open, is all I'm saying. Eldar are rumoured to be getting a new dex in the foreseeable future, so if you're buying models, maybe keep it towards things you like, and would use regardless of if they're good or not. Poke around here a bit, the Eldar are a pretty active board here. ***

Hi, and welcome!

You can edit your profile by clicking on the "Profile" tab at the top of the browser. The option to edit will be in the left column somewhere. There might be a minimum of posts you need before you can do certain things (not sure--don't remember), but that's where you edit it, anyway.

Enjoy the site!

This is the thread where newcomers get to introduce themselves, right? I mean I had a warning this thread hadn't been posted in for more than 30 Days, but then the thread's name was...


...Oh dear, we might not be off to a good start here.

Anyway, I am Ebon Star. Don't worry about my Bio or lack of an Avatar, I'm still working on how to add these things on your forum. Once I've done that, we can get to work.

What sort of work? Why, painting and conversions of course! I've wanted for a long time to try and find somewhere where I can share my work with others - and it came down between you and Advanced Tau Tactica. In the end, I picked 40K Online because while things are enforced here, you don't seem to be as strict as Tau Tactica (example: I don't have to worry about my work meeting some sort of "Quality Standards" - it's not an excuse to spam stuff nobody wants, but everyone's idea of "Quality Standard" is different. I get the feeling my stuff would get pulled on account of their Paintjobs). There's probably still a few other things for me to do here and other Project Logs to visit as well, but I'm sure I'll get to them in time.

Anyway, enough of me prattling. I don't want to take up too much postage space.

Hello Ebon Star nice of you to join us. If you like painting you might like to join the Challenge in the painting forum. It's a bit slow this year so you could easily win. I am fairly sure you won't be able to add an avatar until after you have made three posts.

Welcome to the forum :).

This topic is a sticky topic, so the rules regarding thread necromancy do not apply.

Regarding editing your profile, you'll need to have three posts before you're able to do that.  You may find this introductory topic of use when it comes to using the forum: A Beginner's Guide to 40K Online - READ ME (Updated for 2015) (http://www.40konline.com/index.php?topic=61502.0)

There's no specific quality standard for painting enforced here, so no need to worry about that.  Feel free to post your work as an ongoing project blog or in the Painting board, whichever suits you best.

Truth be told, I'm more of a builder/converter than a Painter. Don't worry though, you'll get a chance to see some things man was not meant to see  :o

It's probably going to be a Blog. I've already sent a request to the Blog Authors group. Which begs the question of how it's going to work as I noticed a Project Logs section of the site here. Do posts there update the Blog and vice versa?

Hi James, Lords of War produce an Orc versus Dwarves card game. I guess if you squint a bit you could pretend that the Dwarves were Goblins.

By Warhammer Online do you mean the MMORPG? Does the fact that you have joined here mean you have taken up playing miniature games?

Don't know if you are bothered by this but I thought I would point out that posts you make in the Tavern don't increase your post count.

It may seem intimidating, but what the majority of it boils down to is "Don't be a dick."  If you can follow that simple guideline, you should be good.  I would recommend making sure you understand our stance on copyright infringement, however, which is covered under rule #1.

GML's just pointing out that the copyright rule is the one which most new members to the forum tend to fall foul of, assuming they break any rules, so that's why we tend to highlight it as being important to read.  You haven't done anything wrong, you would know if you had.

I probably could have been more clear, but Irisado is right - you have done nothing wrong.  What I meant was that every rule on that page, except for the first one, can be summed up as "don't be a dick."  If you follow that guideline, you will be alright and shouldn't run into any issue with the rules.

Joys of being new:  you get stuck with the default settings!

If you are using the default skin, I believe it should just have the word "Profile" at the top of your screen.  If you are on mobile, then you are looking for the silhouette of a person in a square.  If that fails, then clicking on your user name should bring you there.

Yeah, I'm a struggling screenwriter and have a day job at Japan's National Defense Academy. So, 'cause of those two things, I'm into writing fan fiction and, specifically, I'm working on an actual copy of the Codex Astartes. So, Imperium mostly. I collect Necromunda stuff and play various other 40K board, card, and computer games. How about you guys?

P.S. Oh, and I'm from Australia, like you!

I play Daemons of several varieties, Thousand Sons, Imperial Fists, Vostroyan Guard, Tau, and...I think that's it.

Also a writer--I'm actually a published novelist and short story writer. Always liked screenwriting. Did a bit in grad school, but novels have always been my love.

I'll start sharing my exodites and corsairs soon if anyone fancies a look, but for now I can't for the life of me find where to edit avatars and sigs... :S

Thanks for the welcome guys!

I thought it might be something you had to post a couple of times before you could change. I'll get to it!

This is my first forum and my second post.
Am more of a gamer than a wielder of the key board, ( Took me all day to post images in the, Your Eldar Army, section). So please be patient with me because I'm really keen to enjoy every aspect of this forum and meet as many like minded individuals as possible. My name gives away my Craftworld. Looking forward to learn from you all, pass on some of my own knowledge and improve my computer skills..... Pointy ears forever!!

Welcome to 40K Online :).  As you're new to using the forum software in general, as well as to this forum, you may find some of the stickies helpful, notably A Beginner's Guide to 40K Online - READ ME (Updated for 2015) (http://www.40konline.com/index.php?topic=61502.0).  Help with posting pictures can also be found in the stickies posted in the Painting board (http://www.40konline.com/index.php?board=19.0).

If you do have any questions by all means ask :).

Welcome to the forum Saim Dann!
You seem to be off to a pretty good start already. As Irisado says if there is anything you want to know just ask. We actually have some really helpful people here (We're not all monsters.....)
Title: Re: Welcome all Newcomers!
Post by: Saim-Dann on April 4, 2017, 06:24:39 PM
@Aurics Pride: Thank you for your reply, mate, and I agree about the monsters.
Their all on the Nids post.

In the future, please use the modify button. Double posting is against the forum rules, and for that reason, the system merged your posts.

@Irisado: Thank you so much for your reply and advice. It has helped heaps and swinging from post to post has become a lot smoother..... Pointy ears forever!!

Welcome to the forum Saim-Dann! I'm glad to see that you've come in and been made to feel at home straight away. I look forward to seeing some more of your painting and your planned terrain tutorials.

If you have any questions or need any help, it's a pretty friendly bunch here, so fire away!
Title: Re: Welcome all Newcomers!
Post by: Saim-Dann on April 6, 2017, 08:25:31 AM
Looshkin: Cheers, mate! Your reply is more than welcome. The painting of my Saim-Hann has been distracted by the idea of a terrain tutorial. Am halfway through it now. Crikey Moses! The creation of these snow terrains was easy. Explaining them, step by step is another thing all together. Look forward to more though..... after the next paint job post of course. Thanks again for your input, Looshkin. YOUR opinion means a lot..... Pointy ears forever!!

Sorry, I never answered the question about the screenwriting: I have a manager in LA and recently got my first proper credit - on a TV movie for the cable channel, Chiller. But the struggling part is that I've done tons of paid work on stuff that never eventuated; nature of the business and all... I would KILL to write a 40K movie. I have done some computer game work, and I volunteered on a fan-made 40K game thing too...

Man, I think any true 40k nerd would love a 40k movie lol. Congratulations on the writing credits. What was the movie called?

Title: Re: Welcome all Newcomers!
Post by: Bonestomper on October 5, 2017, 05:33:18 AM
Yeah, it's called The Nanny. Nothing big, but hopefully a step to more for me. It was produced by the same guy who did Turbo Kid, which I absolutely love. And thanks so much for the kind words!

P.S. What did you think of Ultramarines: A Warhammer 40,000 Movie?

You mean the CGI movie they did a number of years ago where the had Dan Abnett write the screenplay and every 40k gamer geeked out over an actual 40k movie?

Well, I watched it, because I am a 40k nerd, and am really glad I managed to do so in a way that did not cost me money.  Although, I would like to find a way to get those hours back into my life...
Title: Re: Welcome all Newcomers!
Post by: Bonestomper on October 6, 2017, 02:17:23 AM
Ha! Yeah, Abnett really isn't one of my favorite 40K writers...

Cool! If I have a chance, I'll be sure to check it out!

I thought Ultramarine was okay for what it was. Scratched that itch I had. But, more or less forgettable. 

It'd be hard to make a movie that appeal to the fans, and also draw in a crowd who never heard of the game before. You'd require so much exposition.

See, that's part of what was so disappointing.  Abnett is my favourite 40k writer.  He is the most consistent in delivering compelling stories.  I mean, there is a reason Black Library started the Horus Heresy series of books by getting him to write Horus Rising.

He just didn't do that well as a screen writer.

lol, nah, I don't have those any more. It's a bit sad, but I have my old modeling equipment and am getting back into things.

I'm learning to paint Eldar now. Some things that I wanted to do on Guardians seem really hard to do, so I'm checking out how to paint them.

G'day MechTau!
Since you've transferred from Tau to Eldar, you can now look forward to winning more games... Bwahaha!!

Welcome MechTau! If you need any advice pop into the Painting board, or the Project Logs. Tons of experienced Eldar hobbyists down there each with different painting styles. We'd all be happy to help.

Hey!

I'm a new fan of 40k who got into the hobby right around the launch of 9Th edition and it has since consumed my life. Money sink aside it feels good to have a hobby, especially one with such a strong community.

I am mainly interested in original fan fiction works, and using the established 40k setting as a jumping off point to practice and improve my writing.

I also collect and paint miniatures. My current project is 500 points of Blood Angels, so I may post pictures when I finish those in the next decade or so.

Cheers and stay safe.

Welcome to the site! Don't know much about the fan fiction community for 40k, but certainly interested in seeing some of your blood angels once there is some paint on them!
