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.

Would you like to have an entire city for your wargames without spending hours designing terrain?
Davale Games is on Kickstarter with Thornvale City, a fully modular 3D city for 28–32 mm scale that was funded in just 40 minutes and has already passed 460% funding!
The project is organized into two main routes: Civil and Military, featuring shipyards, walls, barracks, markets, palaces, towers. With both standard and ruined versions, you can represent anything from a living city to a brutal siege. All pieces are modular, so you can build streets, plazas, ports and fortified districts exactly how you want them.
For those who want to go all-in on the full city, there’s a particularly good-value pledge: for €69 you get both routes, all city buildings and all content unlocked during the campaign. The total original value of the set is €346, which means you’re saving around 80% off the final price!
The campaign has already started unlocking Stretch Goals and Bonus Items (such as the destroyed shipyard, tree sets and various props), with files prepared for both FDM and resin printing.
If you’re into printable terrain and detail-packed tables, you might want to take a look at all the modules and renders here.

Greetings all,
K - 47 is picking up in my area, so I thought I'd begin posting my various models including some WIP.
For now, let's go with the last unit I finished a few months ago -- Axis Shocktroopers.
I'll be focusing on Germany for the rest of this year, and Japan in 2023.
Thanks for viewing and feedback welcomed.

With me looking through threads on old editions and the old editions themselves, I've been pondering ways to try and improve some rules. Ideally with as little changes or overhauls to the core rules as possible. ;)
So lets start with monstrous creatures first. I thought of ways to make them more equal to vehicles such as giving them a damage chart, but I don't know how to trigger it without being completely obnoxious, and would need to think of what the damages even do. I got a suggestion on discord that maybe introducing degrading stats would be helpful, so I pondered that until I came up with this idea:
OLD PROPOSED RULES
-----
Crippling damage: When a monster has 25% (rounding up) of it's wounds remaining, it is considered to have suffered crippling damage.
Subtract 1 from the monstrous creatures Weapon Skill, Ballistic Skill, Strength, Toughness, Initiative and Leadership.
------
This provides a nerf that is more light weight than a chart, while also giving a good downside to using a monstrous creature without straight up removing it from the board. I was originally going to also reduce movement, but that lead to problems with MC squads I didnt want to think about so I kept it out.
Another idea I have is massive damage, with anti-tank weapons being effective versus MC's as it is against vehicles. A Lascannon punching through a tervigon should really do some damage after all.
---
1st iteration;
Grievous damage:
If a weapon Strength 8 and above wounds a monstrous creature, Roll a d6. On a 6, the monstrous creature loses another wound.
2nd iteration;
Grievous Damage;
High strength weaponry have a chance to bring down even the mightiest of beasts.
If a weapon that is strength 7 or 8 wounds a monstrous creature, roll a D6; On a 6+, the creature loses D3 more wounds.
If a Weapon that is strength 9 or 10 wounds a monstrous creature, roll a D6; On a 5+, the ...
