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.

It's been about a year since our last Dakka Painting Challenge, but we're back with a fun new theme and easily the largest kitty of prizes we've ever offered for our winners (that's right, we're giving out prizes to 2nd and 3rd place too this time!).
If you've ever thought about participating in a Dakka Painting Challenge but found a reason not to do it, this is the one to get your brushes out and go for it!
So what's the theme this go-around?
It's WELCOME TO THUNDERDOME!...which is basically the classic duel. Paint up two models (of any type) facing off against each other in a struggle to the death.
For all the rules and details, check out this thread in the Painting and Modeling forum.
Entry pictures must be submitted by March 8th, so get out there and start painting!
A big thanks to miniwargaming.com for sponsoring this challenge!

Hi folks!
Tought I'd present you my finished works in an extra thread.
I'll start off with my personal favourite, Captain Hodenkinn:
http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/9859/ultramarinescaptain.jpg
And here's Reaper's Drys.
I painted her for a local competition - although I fear I won't stand a chance against a certain SisterofChaos. :-(
But I hope you'll like that God of War-Kratos-style tattoo anyway. :-)

Hope you like the stuff - more to come soon.
Why, as soon as I find the right bases for my army.
Honest C&C appreciated!

I've been meaning to start a blog for a while, and I've finally gotten my things together enough to really get one going and keep it going.
I'm in love with Inq28, or Inquisimunda, or whatever you want to call it. When Inquisitor came out I really dug the concept, but couldn't get into the 54mm scale. I love the attention given to each character, and how individuals don't get lost in a massive flood of bodies. I'm not a gamer, and don't give two craps about following the rules of the game, but I read them anyway so I am aware of wargear options, and the general makeup of warbands so that what I create follows established fluff.
My two biggest influences are Molotov over at Inq8 and Migsula at Legion of Plastic, who really opened my eyes to how much character you can give a group of models in the 28mm scale. I'll be trying to do my own thing with this blog, but at times there are definitely going to be moments where you can see where I got my inspiration from. I'm going to be building several different warbands, hoping to give each one a sense of character and philosophy you can see just by looking at them.
To start things off I have a few members of an Ecclesiarchy group. I'll let the images do most of the talking:
I feel like each model is 90% done. Each could use something else, I'm just not sure what it is. If anyone has feedback or suggestions, I'd lo...
