I just started Warhammer 40k...

[Rhezuss]

Used to play, stuff costs more than twice as much what it cost when I was a teenager so i can't bring myself to build another army. I prefer Warmachine or Malifaux, not only are they cheaper to play but I prefer having fewer models with more complex rules rather than having hordes of models that are practically cannon fodder. Nothing like having your $50 dreadnaught destroyed before it even gets to move or having half of a marine squad blown away in one shot from a battle cannon. I still have a big space marine army and a smaller eldar force, the models just feel too overpriced for me to build up any more.

I played Warmachine a lot in the past 2 years and here it's more expensive than any other miniatures game. A 10-man unit in Warmachine cost between 60CAD-110CAD while a 10-man Space Marine or other faction unit cost 45-50CAD.

A Warjack box will be cheaper by 15-20CAD but that's the only thing that is cheaper, the rest is a no brainer and when you check colossals/gargans, you start to understand how expensive WMH as become.

Plus, in Warmachine/Hordes, you don't have the quality nor the customization and options 40k offers.

[Rhezuss]

Yeah Warmachine is pretty pricey as well, but 40K armies have always been much larger for me. I got into Warmachine because it was more of a smaller "skirmish" type game but it's definitely going the way of 40K with massive battles and armies. I may try getting back into 40K sometime, I haven't played since 5th edition was out so I'd like to at least see how it's changed.

Does this Space Wolf have a prostatic?
He must be an extra bad assed one to get that badge.

used to play 40k, and every once in a while i'll look at the minis and be like "damn, it'd be fun to get back into it"

and then i realize how much it would hit my wallet, as it's only gotten more expensive.

virginity shrine almost complete.

We don't take sex advice from people who can't spell "it's".

 

[zinfamous]

are there some kind of rules to these game things that require miniature doodads to play? Or is it just wealthier player = larger army = wins?

You just buy whatever pieces you want and can afford, field your army, then request someone to fight your army?

I don't get it.

^^

Each piece is assigned a relative point value based on ability, and you set your battles at a certain point level i.e. 1500 pts - 5k points.

As you can imagine, a 1500 pt battle might be a few squads and a 5k battle might be giant armies.

Bought and painted a few sets but never fully got into it. Would have liked to.

Warhammer 40k has some cool lore and sounds potentially fun, but Games Workshop is basically the devil so I will never buy anything they are associated with.

What'd they do?


I was really into Wahammer (40k most of all) back in the 90s. I still have most of it, but when I moved I lost contact with most of the people i knew that played it. I've thought about getting back in here and there, but just don't really have the time. I still read the lore when I come across them. It's a pity some of the splinter versions aren't worth anything, I have all of the "Space Marine" Epic scale stuff that I wouldn't mind unloading. Not to mention some of the OG Blood Bowl stuff that I rarely played but felt compelled to collect (running a comic shop was both awesome and horrible for a collecting hoarder.)

I love the books and PC games but I also love my money too much to play the tabletop.

The Horus Heresy books are great, if a bit sidetracked here and there.

Yep, most Wolves have some mechanical parts on them. Some have legs, others eyes/maw. It'a pretty cool.

 

[Ns1]

so...necromunda league anyone?

 

[Rhezuss]

HAhaha would be nice. I also started Mordheim since some friends still play that a lot and they're starting a new campaign soon. I bought 20 or so dwarves from a friend for dirt cheap and painted some. Can't wait to try this one too!

Still have 12 or so dwarves to finish and the bases to wash/paint on these but it's gonna rock!

 

[Ns1]

Nice paint jobs

 

[Ns1]

hm....$500 for a small painted army, $1000-$1500 for a giant painted army...

 

[Ns1]

daaaaaaaaaaamn OP check out these paint jobs from reddit

I like Minis but I HATE painting.
Would rather get right to the game. In some cases I prefer to do printouts on card stock and fold them over like little tents so they stand up.
