I played a little bit. Mostly the PC games, but my brother got a miniatures set, and we messed around with those for awhile.
Mostly I just colected the figures, as well as D&D miniatures.

I used to play quite a bit, though I don't have anyone to play with at the moment so my armies are unfortunately collecting dust in a cupboard. Used to play Dark Eldar and SM Blood Angels, and I have a small Dwarf warband for WHFB.
Dark Eldar are an amazing army to play, using webway portals + raiders you can have a 24 inch charge range (even more if you're lucky), and the enemy never get a chance to shoot you before you can charge their lines. Combine that with tonnes of strength 8 lance weapons, and you have the most overpowered army in 40k.

wow, the dark eldar do seem powerful. hope I never have to go up against one.
- Alasdair - 09-08-2007
Do bear in mind that they are my favourite army and I am totally biased in their favor.

:lmao:
I think I'll stick to my collecting, just so I dont have to fight Alasdair's Dark Eldar.

Havent played for like a year or two but anyways..
Well ive got an Imperial Guard army at about 4,000 points:
About 120 basic infantry models all devided into platoons fully equipped. It may sound like alot of people but they are real good at dying so,
18 stormtroopers (2 plasmas, 2 meltas powersword for the sarge),
16 Hardened Veterans (2 plasmas, 2 meltas powerweapon and powerfist for capn)
25 or something heavyweapon teams (including heavybolters, autocannons, lascannons, mortars and rocketlaunchers),
2 basic russ tanks and a basilisk (Earthshaker: 120" range S8 AP3 + ordnance blast equals pure rape)
3 sentinels armed with lascannons experts at taking out big nasty tyranid carnifexex.
2 chimeras (perfect for transporting stormtroopers into the thick of battle) +
about 3 special characters (included Commisar Yarrick, Sly Marbo, Iron Hand Straken)
2 Assasins Vindicare and Eversor..
Well it took some time to paint all of em but its a kinda fun to play them.. Always had a weakness for shooty armies, however i expect loosing about half of my men in a normal pitchd battle (shitty 3 Toughness and 5+ saving throw)..
However The best thing about the Imperial Guard is the hopeless look on your opponents face when you pick up 300+ dice in the shooting phase and point at closest biggest Waaagh ! or when you manage to kill off 9 deathguard with a hit from the earthshaker or when you kill 400 points worth squad of terminators with your stormtroopers (gotta love rapid fire plasmas).. :bananarock:

Hey, I am currently debating wether to buy Warhammer 40k: Dawn of war with all the expansions or not.
Its only 21$, but I dont really know if its a good game. I played a couple skirmishes, but never really got into the game deep.
Any suggestions, or details you think I'll like?
