Sorry only just checked this thread. Are we attacking on Thursday or not? I have an asur player to play against (he's not registered though) so whats the plan?

(B) Just write you own background as a sucsessor from which ever legion you wish and use the traits rules to portray it, there is a trait allowing you to give your tactical squads hand weapons and pistols. This option ties you down less and allows you to tailer your chapter however you want. Could ...

Well according to some extremely knowledgeable (slightly nerdy! ) sites, the Dark Founding chapters are known as ghost chapters, as the Adeptus Mechanicus have lost their gene seeds and the bureacracy at the time lost the records. I think you're right though, if the inquisition knew about it then th...

Cheers for your help with this Kaihlik, its good to have a fellow campaigner of the Khaladh Oriour Har advising me! I've been doing some research and I was thinking of maybe creating a chapter from the 13th "Dark Founding". Opinion seems to be split over whether these are either unrecorded...

Well I like close combat. I find devastator squads dull. Although I do like tanks (don't we all?). This is why I was condsidering flesh tearers. I like terminators, tanks and lots of close combat. But I want to be able to make up fluff and design my own characters (and my own chapter master), which ...

Oh yes I'd forgotten about Dogs of War and Chaos Dwarves. OK well apart from those two, because you're right that is a bit of a given.

Does anyone know where I can find some examples of decent Space Marine chapters people have come up with? I'm going to embark on my first 40k army and while I love pillaging the old world as an evil torturin' murderin' druchii I quite fancy being a namby pamby beacon of virtue in the 41st Millenium....

I was going to do this as a poll, but it would've taken a very long time. Basically I am curious to know what the least popular WHFB army is. I'm curious to know about WH40k too, but I'll start a different thread there.The army I never, ever see is Lizardmen, and I don't think I have ever seen a Tom...

Poor old Lizardmen are getting a bit of a stuffing here! I've never really thought of Lizardmen as being that easy to play. Then again there aren't that many Lizardmen armies around. Do you guys see a lot of Lizardmen armies played successfully by beginners?

Have we? Like cats or like the SAS? Because if we're talking like the SAS then I want better war machines.

That's awesome Tilmann, well done. I can't wait for battle to be joined.

That woudl be cool but is it possible? How would you do it? I would have thought the file would be too large.

Just spreading the joy...

Creoshions have a slightly unusual idea of what eternaly damned means as they would probobly see the christian vision of hell and think Ohhh hot tubs! I'm just catching up on some of these posts (man you guys post fast!) and wanted to say that this made me spit coffee on the screen when I saw it!

This is true, i thought that when Fingol first wrote this piece on my fluff thread. And after years of self scarrification and poisoning he ain't exactly a looker.

I'm glad you lot are on the ball, whats that- three replies in as many minutes?! Cheers!

So before I register what's the plan, register with the Khaladh Oriour Har in the Army Name or the Commander name? a bit of consistency wouldn't go amiss!

I like that! Great description of the Priestesses of Poison, the warped Chroeshi equivalents of Witch elves. Good bit of inspiration, I'm feeling a bit at a loss for things to write about in the run up to the battle so a few spats around the encampment might make for some light entertainment before ...

Hey man that's excellent. I have no talent at drawing whatsoever, so I do what I can with words but that is exactly how I see him when he is unarmoured. The axe in particular is superb, wish I could convert one that looked as good as that!

Well first off the orders seem appropriate and the steps being taken to get noticed (bullet points and army name) are both excellent ideas. So to make sure I understand Tilmann, the bit you've cited as Order 1 is written in the bullet points (the second point if memory serves?) right? I assume this ...

Surely it all depends what a beginner wants from an army? i started with Skaven because I like the background and the models. Turned out as a good easy army to play (I know there are intracacies to Skaven tactics but for a newbie marching a wall of fur towards the enemy was good enough to win a few ...

I was going to ask about that, I trust that the War of the Beard is when the Tor was destroyed. Do we know anything else that happened here? Why all the spirits for example, was there some massacre or something? EDIT: By the way well done everyone for the fluff that's appeared in my absence. I have ...

Excellent, I like the writing style and I appreciate the manner in which Gorgoneth and Shadowheart's animosity is portrayed- its clearly still an issue but not to the extent that it will interfere with the campaign.

Good stuff Tilmann, this will make life a lot easier. So to clarify this goes at the beginning of a full battle report?
