[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Any Warhamer 40k fans here? (Page 6 of 24)

Quoted:
I started with WFB and played that for a bit before moving into 2E/3E 40k. Dark Elves and Skaven mostly, a bit of Undead. Was interested in Chaos Dwarfs, Ogre Kingdoms, and the Regiments of Renown/Dogs of War, but they keep getting Squatted and Un-Squatted, then they Squatted the whole Universe. If I get back into 40k, I may take my poorly painted assembly of Cadians, Death Korps and Praetorians hit 'em a thinned red wash, and make some Blood Pact. I wish I'd gotten a bunch of Praetorian IG when they were available. |

The vast majority of my WFB stuff got stolen from my storage unit by one of the facility's employees recently. Dark Elves, Wood Elves, Warriors of Chaos, and Tomb Kings. Thousands of dollars worth. I wish I'd gotten a bunch of Praetorian IG when they were available. Quoted:

Lorgar Aurelian was 100% Right, about Everything.
Which REALLY Sucks. I wonder what the reaction of the Imperium at large would be if Guilliman lets that bomb drop. Hey guys, just so you know, Lorgar wrote everything you believe and are preaching... just a FYI. It would be like finding out Matthew, Mark, Luke, and Paul, all founded the Church of Satan after writing the Gospel. |
Nicolas Giacondino is a fantastic artist I've followed from my old Bolter and Chainsword days. Crazy thing is, at least back then he was all ink and paper for his stuff.

@50DollarCheShirt That's about how mine used to look until I got some dedicated shelves for all my books. Now they're all sitting in boxes back in the US. I'd like to ship them all here, but the shipping cost might be a little much. |

All hail Roboute Guilliman, Lord Commander of the Imperium of Man, the Avenging Son. He is living testament to the power of our Emperor!
Seriously though, Ultra Papa Smurf gets a lot of hate for no good reason. He's absolutely my favorite Primarch. Attached File Not only that, I really like Cato Sicarius too. I love that he's a huge, reckless dick who gradually sees the bigger picture and becomes more tactically competent and more of a team player while still being an arrogant dick. My favorite Ultramarines short story is the one where Agemman (also cool) and Cato are raiding a ship and Cato lectures Agemman at the end for being reckless. Agemman is basically just "LOL irony!" There's even a mention in Dark Imperium of Guilliman taking Cato under his wing personally in an effort to make him more tactful and being somewhat frustrated by it. Attached File |

I've been cruising the Black Library looking for E-books.
Looking for recommendations as to: Best authors, authors to avoid(!). Space Marines: any books really stand out for newbs? Especially describing the weapons, training and Chapter lore. What titles would give a sense of the overall...overallness of this huge franchise? |

Dan Abnett: Brotherhood of the Snake also GTG Gav Thrope: Angels of Darkness (Astelan did nothing wrong, Jonson is a Traitor). I liked the Soul Drinkers anthology by Ben Counter, not quite the quality of William King or Dan Abnett. I like ADB (Aaron Dembski-Bowden), especially his Night Lords anthology, but thats more the awesomeness that is the Night Lords (AKA Evil Batman). Then of course, there is Horus Rising by Dan Abnett, but I think its better if you start in 40k and go back to 30k, lots of good references and sarcasm you'd miss without a solid grounding in 40k. Anything by Dan Abnett is GTG in my book, especially the Gaunt's Ghosts series, start with Ghostmaker, but thats Imperial Guard/Astra Militarium/Imperial Army. P.S. Just Remember, the Emporer is a Dick, Horus and Lorgar dindu nuffin, and all the "Traitors" were either fucked over by Him epically, or had no choice. |

Really though the Universe has been written in since the early 80s, you got a lot of catching up to do. ETA: Actually, there was a "Setting Book" I had at one time... that was about 25 dollars that was basically a general overview of the State of the Universe, but its probably way outdated now... I think Tyranids were new then. Here read this: Timeline |

Here's some of my recent paintjobs. I use WN Sable brushes and Vallejo paints and washes. After getting out of 40k for a couple decades I got back in fairly recently.

Its one thing to be a Cunt, its another entirely to be a Dumb Cunt, the Emperor ("God") was a Dumb Cunt. I can respect Evil, I can't respect Stupid.

I'm gonna trash up this thread a little.
I think one of the most brilliant things GW's done recently was the release of Shadow War: Armageddon. New players can sample all kinds of armies and try out painting without dropping a ton of cash, and those who do have tons can easily get pulled into 40k. It was enough to suck me back in, anyways. I'm super stoked about the re-release of Necromunda. I actually enjoy the painting and making terrain more than the gameplay - my skills are "extra modest" but they're good enough for the tabletop. 
Of course, right about the time I started dusting off my minis and re-filling my bits box all the friends I used to play with went full goddamned Leftarded and I can't stand to be around them anymore. That works out okay for someone who mostly wants to build and paint anyways, though.

I started with the 1st 4 books of the Horus Heresy. I read them in under a week. They're up to .. 48? now.. some are dogshit you can skip and not lose out on anything.
Dan Abnett is the man. I like Ultramarines mostly because of their anal-retentive order of doing stuff. Some of the short story books give a decent glimpse in to characters/legion characteristics. The Beast Arises was a decent series of Orks, who are much like ricers - the gaudier it is, the faster.. or more explosive. Armageddon with Orks and Black Templars was a good read. Quoted:
