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.

Monolith boardgames are legit - I have their Conan game - and the pieces, although the material is PVC like, are as good or better than I have seen from some table top wargames. I really enjoyed painting them, which is a rare thing to say for a board game!
I am following these and have joined their discord. I found a really good sign this will be worth while in their introductions section, quoted below:
"Hello everyone,
my name is Didier (54). I was one of the designers, along with Edouard Guiton, of the former Confrontation and Hybrid lines few years ago.
I've been working for several months now on the revival of this wonderful universe as the line's art director.
I will be responsible for maintaining artistic consistency and its necessary visual evolution.
I truly hope you'll like this new version and that it will keep you enthusiastic. It's certainly gratifying to see the excitement surrounding this announcement. I think you're in for some surprises!"
I am looking forward to seeing how this turns out!

How do!
So this thought occurred to me reading Ashiraya’s latest post in the Nutrition thread. I’ll quote the relevant bit.
It's Final Fantasy, basically. You have people in advanced carbon weave armour wielding steel swords and shields.
Which is of course a classic 40K trope. Other than Tau (even then they’ve the Kroot), everyone has examples of fighty-punchy-eye gougy nutters in their ranks.
Necrons have Praetorians, Lychguard and Ophidian Destroyers to name three. Eldar have Scorpions, Banshees, Wyches, Harlequins and others. Marines have Assault Marines and in the past Destroyers and lots of elite face-punching units. Kin have the Cthonian Beserks, and the Orks have everywun.
Indeed, whilst most Boyz enjoy a good bit of Dakka Dakka? Getting into an actually proper fight where you can dish out actual proper stomping is still preferred. And of course? They’re the most wildly successful and widespread species. And if they are indeed descended from the Krork? May have always been fond of proper fisticuffs over anything fancy and clever.
And it’s that very fact which I think may explain why so many other species have close combat specialists in their ranks. Because sooner or later? You can bet your bottom that you’ll be mixing it up with Orks. And so they’re the prime mover here. Everywhere humanity, Eldar and anyone else has been? The Orks got their first. So no matter where you go? It’s just a matter of time until you’ll have to deal with someone trying to literally kick your head in.
