nice nice il have to get that soon then. oh yeah as for the starter set its a prety decent set, its called battle for macrrage it comes with a squad of space marines some genestealers and termagants a wreck sites the rule booktemplates, scatter and normal diceand a couple of other things, totally worth it IMO

I second (third?) the awesomeness of Dawn of War. My only real qualm with it is that it's more offensive than I'm used to. Turtlers are the first to be sacrificed on the altar of battle [img]smile.gif[/img]

There are also a lot of ambitious mods for it, several of which are trying to add new races. A few are complete or nearing completion (Ordo Malleus is playable for one).

lol everyone collects space marines for there first army it seems, I did but there to boring. I started tyranids and now theres a new codex and all my planning is void...grrr

[Jorath Calar]

The new Codex is awesome, the Tyranids are simply one of the strongest army now, the New Genestealer Broodlord, gets Scything and rending claws, which count as powerweapon (kinda redundant), 4 str5 attacks, fleet of claw... for only 70 points !!!... and for 10 more point you can get extended Carapace and he has the same armoursave as a space marine...

Then there is the new Carnifex... Who is just scary... weapon of mass destruction indeed... [img]smile.gif[/img]

Nid's get more buglike with each edition.

The melee attacks out there will not help if you don't get into combat.

[Jorath Calar]

Thats true, but with fleet of foot, and infiltrate, their chances of getting into combat are much better

macrrage isnt an starter set its more of an campaign special edition box set the official boxset is wat i said eralier but its up to which ever you choose either way youll get an rulebook but im not sure if the one in maccrage is the full rule book like in the starter set

I've seen him in action once and was unimpressed. He infiltrated, but has no fleet of claw. So, here he is out in front just begging to be shot, without the benefit of fleet.

MacCragge is a fine set to get if you want to play Nids or Marines -- especially since you get some of the coolest terrain pieces, a wrecked ship. Be forewarned -- the rulebook contains the basics to play the game, but is incomplete in that it does not contain a lot of the fluff, nor does it contain certain rules, such as the rules for kill teams.

If anyone is interested in a forum for WH40K -- here is one for the midwest:

www.adeptuswindycity.com

Interesting rules discussions, post your army lists, etc. etc. I do not make any representations about any of the people there though -- in fact some of them are downright annoying gaming geeks.

This is the icelandic W40k communty.

The thread for the upcoming tournament is here... so you see my list there and what I'm up against (screwed in short) [img]smile.gif[/img]
