WH40000 - what's your opinion?

Darktide is adding an Arbites class that comes with a puppy!

So, for me… I love Warhammer 40k. Huge nerd, I paint the minis and play the games, and I have ran some Dark Heresy table tops games. I think it is a fantastic setting for good deep Grim Dark stories! 

I just don’t let the neck beard grimdark craziness take over. I prefer it when running Rouge Trader, to have Ork and Eldar crew about. Hidden of course when on deck. 

Is that an ork?! No not at all Commisar, just a large Ogren suffering from.. umm… space scurvy… it makes them green. 

When I get approved to play with everyone I hope to play with some other Warhammer nerds.

There's a reasonable number of us about, but 40k games are a rare enough thing. I think atm there's just the one going, a Black Crusade game.

Nice! Is it Freeform or using a system? I wonder how that would work on a forum 

[HairyHeretic]

Using the system. Forum based play is much the same as tabletop, except a lot slower :)

[TheRambler]

Makes sense. I can imagine it also is a little less chaotic though too. Having everyone say what they want to do. Then do the rolls and such 

[HairyHeretic]

Yes and no. Any game is likely to have players from multiple timezones across the world, and it can sometimes slow things down further if you're waiting for a particular person to post in order. Tends to be better to play a bit fast and loose with the rules at times, to keep the game moving.

[TheRambler]

That makes sense. Never had to play with someone across time zones before. So that would be interesting to deal with. Still, if it is a good crew I bet it is worth it

Fantastic.

I'm pretty certain this is Sevatar and Altani, from The Long Night short story.

IYKYK.

[HairyHeretic]

40k related - John Blanche apparently passed away. I was never a huge fan of his style of art, but you can't deny the influence he had on 40k.

[Norwegian One]

Yeah, I saw that as well. I agree that he was not my favourite 40k artist, but it's damn near impossible to argue against the impact and influence he had on 40k's whole style and aesthetic. A big loss for sure!

[Revelation]

Damn. My introduction to Warhammer (40k) was winning the 3rd edition starter box in a gaming store raffle. That cover was and is iconic to me for 40k.

I liked Blanche's work, and hearing that he passed is a bit of a bummer way to start the day.
