DakkaDakka - Warhammer, 40k, Warmachine and Flames of War Community.
DakkaDakka is a large, independent wargaming community that features discussion, tutorials and images for many games.
Warhammer 40,000
Our warhammer 40k forums are among our most popular. They have been operating the longest and contain discussion about every facet of warhammer 40k from tactics and army lists to background and upcoming releases.
Warhammer Fantasy
The Warhammer Fantasy Battle Forums are consistently increasing in popularity and are almost on a par with our 40k forums covering the same large range of content with advice from some of the best tacticians the world has to offer.
Warmachine and Hordes
Dakka now has one of the largest Warmachine and Hordes forums on the web, and has a huge range of Warmachine Pictures in our gallery.
Flames of War
Flames of War and other historical games are growing in popularity here on dakka and we invite anyone to join in and discuss them in detail. As flames of war grows more popular, Dakka's coverage will only increase. Be sure to check out the Flames of War gallery to see some inspiring stuff.
Dakka Features
Dakka is a big site with a lot to explore. Here we highlight some of our more interesting features:
Wargaming Gallery
The dakka gallery is one of the largest wargaming galleries in the world and has a huge range of tagged miniatures from many game systems. From flames of war to Maelstrom's Edge, and of course 40k. You can vote on images (like using hot-or-not), and use our advanced gallery search engine to find exactly what you are looking for, be it space marines, orks, cryx or Dark Elves!
Forums
The dakka forums are growing faster and faster and are the bread and butter of the website. They still maintain quality and a fair level of freedom compared to many other forums. Our most popular forum is News and Rumours, but Dakka Discussions and 40k army lists are very popular too. There are some important rules to consider (no spam, no swearing, no piracy) but everybody gets on well enough thanks to our great moderation team.
Articles
The dakka wargaming articles are run on a wiki (like wikipedia). We have a huge range of wargaming articles covering everything from tactica to modeling and painting and even some great funny stuff. If you are bored and want to have the equivalent of dozens of magazines to read then head over to the main articles page and start clicking around. Because it is a wiki, anybody can hop in and click the 'edit' tab at the top of the page, so if you have anything to add or just see some typos or bad grammar then you can help make it better for everyone.
Army Profiles
Dakka's army profiles are a throwback to the very earliest version of dakka from the late 1990s, where various armies were highlighted in detail. Our army profiles section now contains many armies from different game systems with in depth photographs, army lists and explanations of their signifigance from their owners.

How do!
Welcome to first in what may become a series of Dememification threads. The intent here is to take a subject which has been heavily memed, and try get back to facts. And the poll showed Ork Tek to be the firm favourite as a jumping off point. This is still an experimental format, so apologies if it ends up somewhat rambling. Whilst I’ve a loose format in mind? I do tend to whimbrel. Yeah. Whimbrel.
Right, let’s get into it.
The Claim of the meme
Orky faith/psychics allow them to overrule reality. They can do stuff like pick up a roughly gun shaped rock, and it will fire as if it is a gun through sheer force of Orky will. In other words? Orks can shape reality.
The source of the claim
With thanks to Haighus for providing the linked image.
Now, this is an in-universe report, by a Mechanicus Adept. And we can see the claim is actually that he’s studied Ork weapons, and has decided that whilst they shouldn’t work, they do seem to work when wielded by Orks.
And their observations include that yes, Red Ones Do Go Fasta - but offers a rationalisation as to why. And importantly, that rationalisation matches other canonical sources, specifically that a Mek can create wonders, but doesn’t have a proper, conscious understanding of what they’re doing. Most interestingly, that began as far back as Rogue Trader, and came from the “omniscient external narrator” that is the person writing the book in the real world.
My analysis
It does fall somewhat short of the meme claim. And despite the author being on the money about Red Ones? They’re still of questionable authority on all the claims. The Mechanicus after all only has a loose grip on mankind’s own technology. So, the most we can really take from it is that single individual doesn’t understand how some Orky devices work.
Looki...

Forum post by some bloke, 36 responses at time of this post.
Referring to them having their own codex. I recently brushed off the dust from my old chaos, and found that I had a lot of Khorne stuff. Out of curiosity, I had a look at the World Eater's codex, and found myself severely unenthused.
One Battleline unit (Berzerkers)
Five infantry units, one of which is a direct repeat from CSM (Terminators) and 2 of which are basically the same (Eightbound / Exalted Eightbound)
One Beast
9 vehicles, 8 of which are just CSM staples.
5 characters.
And that's it. I made a 1k list and ended up 40 points short because of the lack of options.
It really seems to me like they are just unnecessary bloat which could all have fit into a detachment rule for Chaos Space Marines. Am I the only one who feels this?
