DakkaDakka is a large, independent wargaming community that features discussion, tutorials and images for many games. If you are new to the world of wargaming then learn about it in our introductory article - What is Wargaming?
News
We have a winner for the Mantic Dwarf army giveaway!
Dakka and Mantic Games teamed up to give one Dakka user a very rare 80-model strong Mantic 'White' Dwarf army...and the lucky winner is:
ThePhish
A Big thanks to everyone who participated. We ended up with over 200 entries, so there were quite a few people vying for the prize!
If you'd like to recap what the details of this promo were (in case you didn't see it before, or if you just want to congratulate the winner, you can do so in this thread in the Dakka forums.
Of course a final big thanks again to Mantic Games for their continuing support of the gaming community!

Dakka Maps?!?
You may or may not have noticed yet that Dakka has a new link at the top of every page, called Store Finder.
Wargaming goodness around the globe
So what is it? While at the surface it may seem like nothing more than a standard Google map displaying user generated content (in this case, the locations of wargaming stores around the globe), but when you stop to think about it, that's actually a pretty cool idea! Having a handy way to know where gaming stores are no matter where you're travelling or moving to is an idea that is just too cool not to have here on Dakka.
And even better, once we get the locations of all these stores entered at some point down the road we'll probably allow users to identify themselves as playing at certain stores, making it easier than ever to find local players you've never had the chance to meet before...but that's still off in the distant future.
For now, what we need from the Dakka community is for you to hop onto the Store Finder and enter the location and information about the local gaming stores that you visit regularly. And we want information regarding gaming stores everywhere (not just those in the U.S. and the U.K), so don't be shy!

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 om 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.
