Anyone play? What are your armies?

Tyranids pwn joo.

Reason I bring this up is I was cleaning up my room and found my old army. I had Old One Eye, the Red Terror, and a Hive Tyrant. Everything else is just various Hormagaunts and Termegants and a few Genestealers.

Need some more heavy units and artillery units.

For those that don't know, it's a table top battle game where you build models that represent your army and battle and such. Picture Starcraft on a 4' by 4' table. It's ungodly expensive, but fun. Plus, I like the ability to customize my army.

Always wanted to plau, could never justify the expense though. My friend and I made up a nearly identical game when we were little, using Army Men and lego.

I used to play Warhammer classic. I had a pretty good Elvish army, an Orc army, and I was building a Merc army before I got out of it....pretty cool stuff...Still have a couple of my elves sitting on my dresser cause I liked their paintjobs....

I used to play Mage Knight, but I've never played Warhammer.

Yeah, I remember that.

Still, it's fun. Way too much money, but I enjoy it. I may have to get some more models if I can find out who all still plays where I live.

Years back I traded in my Yu-Gi-Oh cards for something that sounds like a knock-off of that.  It was like Mechwarrior or something, and gameplay sounds about the same.

I play Saim-Hann Eldar, although the craftworld armies are no more since the new codex came out.

I am also taking over my brothers small band of Blood Angels.

I've still got all my miniatures. Haven't played them in over ten years but I burried too much cash and too much time into them to sell them.

Besides, with the Apocalypse rules comming out, might dust them off for a final fling before I have to grow up properly.

PS I mainly run Smurfs and IG.

Battletech was actually really cool....

Yeah, I had some Battletech things.

Grow up proper. Psh. Warhammer was meant for people who don't grow up. You think little kiddies can afford a single model that costs $40?

That's the one thing that bugs me about Games Workshop. While it's cool they are tweaking the rules based on fan-feedback, I have the classic rulebook, and that cost me $35. Now they have a new one that costs $50. I hope I don't need to buy it to get the latest...

But that's why I play the Tyranids. They adapt. If I need more hive synapse nodes, I can glue a Warrior head on a Gaunt, throw him in a unit and be done with it. Evolution rules FTW.

Took my a while to figure out you guys were talking about the tabletop game...

My only experience with Warhammer is Dawn of War on PC.

*edit* Good lord that's an expensive hobby right there.

Sup gaiz?



Just bought the latest 'Nid codex. God prices are soaring. $22 for what used to be $15. Also, I learned I have to get the new rule book. Turns out, there have been 2 new editions since I stopped playing last. So, chalk up another $50. I'm probably gonna grab a Tyranid Battleforce while I'm there (Games Workshop store) tomorrow, which is $90. Yee-haw for spending more than I should on plastic models!

Oh well. It's something I've been wanting to do for a while.
