Dr.Marvin, isn't that more Imperial Guard than Space Marines? D:

Darwin, people love it for tons of different reasons, for me its the actual modeling part, I love painting them, I buy random models just to paint, but the actual game looks REALLY fun to play, lots of strategic thinking involved. The fiction around the game is really great too, the put alot of work into it and it really draws you into the WH40k world.

Well, I see what you mean. Actually helped me understand a bit more! I still don't think it's fun but thanks for telling me!

Agree, not so much on the painting, but alot of what I enjoy is the building/modeling and the 'story'

 

[Darkea]

The stories behind the game rock, read any of the Novels? I've Got the first two Omnibus' of Gaunt's Ghost, Ultramarine Omnibus, and The first Ciaphas Cain Omnibus.

 

[Carmine]

With all those Heavy Bolters for Swarms and Lascannons for your Big monstrous creatures?

 

[CausalSpark]

Warhammer 40k: Blood Angels, Orks, and Imperial Guard

Warmachine: Khador and Cygnar

Hordes: Skorne

 

[Darkea]

Nice, what type of IG army do you play?

 

[CausalSpark]

Well, I fit myself with a lot of guard units, Leman Russes, and Hellhounds. I like to throw in a few Ogryns there and a few Kasrkin there. I'll put my army list up. Also, guys, add me to your steam friend's list and xfire (Causalspark). I want to talk about this stuff.

 

[Carmine]

lol darkea, you cant shoot em all, and lascannons only hit every once in a while... Besides I dont always use carnifexes. Have you ever played against 3 zyanthropes with synapse blast? Pure mayhem for cheap...

 

[Darkea]

Mmmmm... Zyanthropes.. those things do rock (and look great).

Added you to steam Causalspark
