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.

How do!
Wasn’t entirely sure if this belonged in General or Background. If I’ve placed it wrong, I’ll know where to find it :)
Anyways. 40K is rushing headlong into being 40 years old. In fact that’s next year, 2027.
And over the years, not all weapons have continued to be a thing on the tabletop. I felt that might make an entertaining thread. I’ll kick us off with some.
Harpoon Missile
A Titan Grade support weapon, intended for use against opposing Titans. Whilst it would of course cause some damage to the superstructure, its real trick was allowing control of the target Titan to be overridden until the Titan was destroyed, or the warhead was dislodged.
Warp Missiles
At least, I don’t think they come up much. Again, a Titan Grade support weapon, with a miniaturised warp engine onboard. This allowed the missile to skip in and out of reality, bypassing any kind of shielding, and ideally appearing inside the target for its grand finale. Not terribly accurate of course, but an absolute menace. Not to be confused with the Vortex Missile.
Eldar Psychic Lance
Gosh, there’s a theme occurring, because it’s yet another Titan Grade weapon, a unique to the Warlock PSI-Titan. Essentially a scaled up, souped up Neurodisruptor Pistol. Used against a vehicle crew? It would wipe their minds, leaving them as drooling mindless shells. Against an enemy Titan that makes use of Mind Impulse Units it could be catastrophic, burning their brains out entirely. And oddly, I don’t think we’ve seen that technology replicated in any size other than Pistol and Titan Grade. That feels like a very real oversight, and a niche for a terrifying Aspect Temple.
Right, that’s some low hanging fruit out there way, anyone else got any to add?

So I was thinking.
A vox skull is maintained with by tech priests with ointments prayers and stuff and require someone to do that service.
If two servoskulls (Auto-scribes with tiny arms) maintained each other, could they ”live” forever?
Ok yes I know the problem with corrupted data, pewercells and so on, but besides that.
With an endless supply of parts and powercells, do you think it’s possible?
