Tabletop Wargaming (large pic heavy)

[acefisher1]

Just wanted to see if anyone else here plays any tabletop games.

I play Warhammer 40K.

Post your game, if you have an army, post a list, possibly some pics of your painting (even if it isn't pro level), and any other interesting stuff. If there enough people playing, I'd like to get a group to discuss them with, maybe even get our own vent channel. Or if you don't wanna post but play, hit me up on AIM or PM.

I have a 2000 point Black Templar Drop Pod army currently being held hostage by some really uncool "friends" in Orlando which I can't really remember everything thats in it, here is a basic run down of whats in the army.

Sword Brethren
High Marshall Helbrecht
Emperor's Champion
Techmarine with retinue
30-ish Marines
3 Dreadnoughts
1 Venerable Dread
5 Drop Pods
Land Raider Crusader
Predator Annihilator
5 Bikes + 1 chaplain biker
10 Assault marines with sergeant
A few other models I can't really remember.

If anyone in Orlando would wanna pick em up and send em to me I'll make it worth your while


I just started building a new Ork army. Going for a Kan wall list.

1 x Big Mek - KFF, cybork body, kombi skorcha & power klaw - 125

30 x Boyz - Nob w/ power klaw - 215

30 x Boyz - Nob w/ power klaw - 215

30 x Boyz - Nob w/ power klaw - 215

1 x Deffkopter - twin-linked rokkits & buzzsaw - 70

1 x Deffkopter - twin-linked rokkits & buzzsaw - 70

1 x Deffkopter - twin-linked rokkits & buzzsaw - 70

3 x Killa Kanz - 3 x rokkits & 3 x grot riggers - 165

3 x Killa Kanz - 3 x rokkits & 3 x grot riggers - 165

3 x Killa Kanz - 3 x rokkits & 3 x grot riggers - 165

Total - 1475

Still need to buy 6 Killa Kans and 50 more Boyz. Honestly, I didn't think this army would come together so fast either. I should have it assembled within the next 2 weeks. Going to buy the Boyz this week, Kans next weekend. Should have them assembled the week after, then going to decide on a paint scheme.



Here is some images and references if you're interested. Please contact me if you have any interest in this game, I can talk 40K all day. Or even fantasy for that matter. I know tons of lore and would love to talk some lore as well.

looks like starcraft/Warcraft/DnD all mixed into one, if i had a big enough room and was really really really REALLYbored, id probably get into it

 

[Grimm911]

A bunch of my friend play warhammer 40k, i just cant get into it

waaay to expensive imo lol

but its still cool

 

[NixJedi]

Yawn, stopped playing after I spent over $2k on Eldar troops several years back. I prefer spending money on computer components now.

I was excited to look until I didn't see any pics of your actual army, but given the circumstances I understand why that's not possible at the moment.

I was going for a Biel-Tann Swordwind army in college when I found out I was in college and didn't have any money, which put a fast stop to that. I had an Avatar complete with a High Court of the Young King, then two squads of Dire Avengers and that was it. One squad never got painted.

Plus I had my starter set Marines, which I painted a custom scheme and nicknamed "The Wraith" chapter. One squad and a land speeder. I complemented them with a Chaplain.

That was 8-9 years ago, and I'm pretty sure I tossed them. Dawn of War pretty much satisfies my Warhammer 40k cravings when they come back!

That's not to say I don't play any mini's at all. I have a huge Pirates of the Spanish Main fleet from several of its sets.

However, my favorite ones right now (and maybe I'll post pics later) are Axis & Allies Miniatures and especially the naval variant Axis & Allies: War at Sea. LOVE THAT GAME!

 

[Hero93]

Looks pretty cool. I was always interested in those games.

 

[Carmine]

I play Orks in 40k and Ogre Kingdoms in Fantasy. I also dabble a bit in Warmachine.

Unfortunately I haven't played in forever so I have no pics, I don't even have the new ork codex...

 

[Chase]

MUST....AVERT....EYES!

I used to be into 40k but it literally obliterated my paycheck instantly so i had to call it quits.
Ooooh how i miss it though.
And this thread aint help'n that lol.

Hope your army finds its way back home, that sucks.

 

[acefisher1]

Haha yeah. I just look at it as an opportunity to buy/build a new army. I'm actually going to be picking up 2-3 more boxes of boyz today, which will make the count 20 more boyz and 6 kanz.

I'll take some pics once I have the next boxes of boyz assembled, it isn't too much to look at until I paint really.

 

[Spitfire'd]

Here is a small sample of my fleet. Again this is for the game Axis & Allies: War at Sea.

Also for Carmine's enjoyment, this sampling is of ships from the Regia Marina, or the Royal Italian Navy:

From top to bottom we have the Aquila, Vittorio Veneto, Littorio, Eugenio Di Savoia, Guiseppe Garibaldi, Ugolino Vivaldi and Luca Tarigo.

I couldn't find my digital camera and had to settle with my phone's camera so I apologize for the poor quality. If you want more I can post more pictures with ships from every major nation in WWII, as well as select minor nations. Well after I find the digital camera that takes higher quality pictures that is!

Very fun game!

My friends and I played for a bit. We made our own models. WAY WAY cheaper.
