Has anybody ever played this game? It's not a computer game, btw. It's a RPGish/actionish/hobby type game . Hard to explain unless you've played it. So has anyone?

btw, if you have I have just started and am building a Tyranid swarm as we speak >:-D

No, actually I never really got to play any Games Workshop games. I wanted to play Warhammer with High Elves or Wood Elves, but they were already taken among the group of friends that play it, so I was forced to take Bretonnia, which I found out I did not really like that much. Furthermore, I'm awfully bad at drawing and painting. Too bad, though. Necromunda was introduced to me, too, but I never went on with that, too.

Heh, one of my friends had bought a 2000(!) point High Elf army, but ended up with not painting it.. I guess he has them still standing around somewhere. I only have a handfull of Bretonnian knights. Thankfully I did not buy any more..

Cool

Have you ever played Warhammer 40,000 though? It' a lot better in my opinion. It's basicly in the future and you can get machine guns, mechs etc. I recomend you find somone to play it or influence your friends to

Yup, bought the toy painted it, but never actually played with many people. Y'see, I bought the OLD, complicated-as-hell, big-ass book, about a month before they simplified it. That put me off it.

Other GW games I have played: Space Marine (old + new), Blood Bowl, Space Hulk (the Amstrad computer game version!). I was actually quite good at blood bowl!

You don't read White Dwarf, do you? I'm interested in what's in it these days.

Always wanted to play, a friend introduced me to it. I always wanted to put together an Eldar army, the Jet Bikes rock so much.

My friend said he'd teach me once... and the best way was to just play a game with him. Not that that's not a good idea, but I think he was more intent on winning than showing me how to play.

"Oh... ok... you just rolled double sixes compared to my 2 and a 1. That means.... ummm... well, since I have 3 total and you have 12, I deal you 12*3=36 damage and you deal me....ummm... 12/3=4 damage. Yeah... that's right. I get to deal your guys 36 damage and you get 4."

"Dude... I thought higher dice rolls were better!"

"Oh... they were. But, that's only earlier in the game. You'll see when you play more"

"ohhh... I get it."

That sounds like my friends who at first wanted to help me out and get me started, but I think now are trying to take advantage of me. What sucks is they are the onmes teaching me the game and I really don't want to buy a $30 rule book. So I'm stuck trying to decode the Codex. But I'm actually getting the idea and hang of it pretty quickly and I may be able to outsmart my friends yet

So far I have a Tyranid army of 1 Hive Tyrant(Venom Cannon, Scything Talons, Implant Attack, Bio-plasma Attack, and Warp Field and Blast psychic powers) and 12 Genestealers.

I have a bunch of friends who play this game, and they got me into it. I don't know the rules or anything, but I borrow get the rulebook and learn them all within the next few weeks. So far I have no models or anything, but I recently ordered the Chaos Space Marine BattleForce and it should be arriving in a few days.

just take my post, and imagine everything is speeled right.

Ya know, reading this topic got me ta thinkin....man, Warhammer was a fun game....So I pulled my old 2500 point Renegade Space Marine army, and (with some minor tweaking, as some of my wargear had been "outlawed" [so to speak] since the new version came out) played a few games with some of the guys down at the local GW shop...and boy was it fun! I need to do that more often

I've gone off Games Workshop. I still want to play more blood bowl and Necromunda though. Good game that.
