Hey, i saw this General Sci-Fi Board and wondered if any people play 40k. Just Curious!

I play necrons and am Starting a Tau Army

[matsumoto]

I stopped afer the third time they changed the rules onme and made me buy another book for my eldar.

the 40k miniatures suffer from multi iteration non-compatability

40k is mainstream. sorry, i do not do the clients every other ho' does, i will not let GW bend me for their fanfare....

it's bad enough they made LotR SBG

[SaintRigger]

I'm a loyal imperial servant...

I've got some inquisitorial forces, grey knights and storm troopers. I'm slowly building a guard army and I'm working on a teddy bear space marine army :)

I have a bunch of tau a friend gave me too - but I haven't really touched them. I'd like to paint them up some day.

I don't really play much 40k, though... I just really like the models and pick 'em up when I can get a good deal.

[mooseyjoe]

I play , or at least have, space marines. I still think that these are the absolute coolest sci-fi minis on the market, even if they are a product of the evil empire.

You also can't deny the goodness of 40k fluff.

that said, I don't really plan on buying anymore because they just cost too much

[Lars Porsenna]

I have enough Eldar to game with, and a bunch of SMs (Salamanders). Haven't really bought anything lately, and I had been planning on gaming with these. UNfortunately, after checking out the local gaming scene I was turned off by some of the players...

I liked the game, and the background for it, but I've found it lacking of late.

Unfortunatly, the types of battles I want to have can't be represented using the 40K rules anymore. Now I will say that it is a fun game, but a touch limited.

One of the major problems I see is that in the quest to make things fair and balanced, GW has made the battle won before the first shots are fired. Basically, the tactics are more around 'who builds the better army list' than 'work with what you have'.

My other major complaint about the 40K game is the people who play it. I'm here to have fun, not obsess about every little detail. Unfortunatly, that's the opposite I've seen.

I have the full Stargrunt rules sitting on my shelf, but the only people I know who play such games are completly focused on their loyality to GW, they're not interested in anything else.

But as I have oft said: Your Mileage May Vary. If you do enjoy playing, then by all means do.

Best,

LSH, if you were local, I'd play Stargrunt with you.

lstormhammer, YOU KNOW MY THOUGHTS AND THUSLY ARE COOOOL!!!
you get a shiny coolness point

but yeah, i gotta say there is a reason i picked up the stuff in the first place. i did play inquisitor with the tiny 25 mm models. i do like their skimirsh system in necromunda, and probably would prefer to play their games more like that.
they do have a cool universe, but bad customer-company interaction policies

i refuse to play the actuall game, but some of the mini's call me. if only i got to use them somehow....i still have my harlequins and rangers and warp spiders(before the WS were castrated) in the old crystal paint scheme.

maybe a necromunda style game that encompased the whole damn universe...

oh well, whatever...

[ugluk69]

I play.......the Orks of course!!!!! Thay are very fun with all the conversion etc. I sold my warhammer beastmen since I'm going with Warlord, but I gotta keep da boyz!!! WAAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHH!!!

[smokingwreckage]

I've been an Eldar player and a Delaque player, but I just can't afford the miniatures anymore. Especially not rebuilding my army with every new rules release- that's a frigload of painting to do over!

I think you're on to something here...

Damon, already thinking about a conversion...

[Froggy the Great]

Yeah, just change the names on the special abilities, change the minis, and give everyone a ranged attack, you'll be fine.

and let's not forget "Defiance: Vital Ground" from mj12games !!!!!!!
