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 babylon 5, 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.

So new codex and as a long time Eldar player and fan (nearly 20 years!) I'm really unhappy with the new rules. I hate to start a thread so negatively but there are a number things which I think make this a poor release;
1. All random psychic powers - Eldar are reliant on these as force multipliers and the loss of certainty in gaining powers makes us a whole lot weaker.
2. Expensive units - With some exceptions, autarchs and bikes namely, everything is over priced for how fragile it is.
3. Wraith constructs everywhere - this seems to be the focus of the release, understandably to sell more models but I've always been non-plussed by them. The wraith knight seems like a missed opportunity, no doubt it will sell well but it doesn't do much for its points.
It's not all negative as I like the blade storm rule (ap2 small arms what's not to like!) but even that is soured by the ranges staying the same. Jetbikes are arguably the best scoring units in the game if they weren't before and the much maligned swooping hawks actually seem to be reasonably decent. Also the Vaul's wrath platforms look cost effective and dangerous barrage weapons, along with Serpents kicking out decent firepower too.
I hoped a 2+ fortuned bike council with attached Tau super commander would be viable but if you don't roll up some key powers its likely to be game over before its even begun.
I just had such hig hopes, probably raised my expectations too high after the awesome Tau book. So much of the Eldar powers and gear are very situational, expensive and on non-durable platforms, I know we're specialists and everything needs to work in concert but I fail to see how we won't get smashed off the table by other 6th ed armies.
Heres hoping the mini codi help to elevate the Eldar from mediocrity.
