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.

Hi there!
I'm a resin printer hobbyist with a file hoarding problem and absolutely zero regrets about it. I’ve built a new free tool for other people like me that might have a similar problem.
It’s called 3D Print Manager.
It lets you download files from any website straight into your library, organize with smart folders, preview models interactively, and manage your build plates from start to finish.
Use code SENDHELP for 50% off the pro tier if you want to support a fellow hobbyist.
Thanks for taking a look — I genuinely hope it helps!

Wahoo! I'm hyped to be working with Jon Hodgson of Handiwork Games on another round of backdrop books. If you're new to them, they're A4 and A3 sized books that you place behind your minis to help photograph them cool. I use them for 99% of my pics, and have since they first came out. I have a sample book coming any day so you'll see me demonstrating these latest ones.
Launches 19th May, clickie here

from Handiwork Games:
With Trench Crusade Backdrop Books heading out the door this week, we're looking to the next round of Backdrop Books releases!
We've been hard at working ensuring we have 4 fully-completed, ready to go books for our next round of Backdrop Books.
These will be:
More Fantasy - the first Backdrop Book which featured fantasy themed landscapes is our best selling title across everything we do, so it's about time we did MORE FANTASY! This is a lovely selection of new fantasy paintings.
Sci-Fi Cityscapes - focusing on urban sci-fi settings, this book presents a variety of vistas from a sprawling sci-fi city.
Horror and Hellscapes brings you a series of sinister, spooky and gothic images for all your investigators, vampires, ghouls and other anti-social denizens.
Robot Future is designed to show off your robot models with zoom lines and suitably techy looking backdrops.
Stay tuned to see both me and Jon mucking about with them and more pics of what is inside.
Which is intriguing you the most? For me personally - HORROR (as that's what I mostly paint) and for my Bad Squiddo use it's MORE FANTASY as they're some of my favourites.

... When they are moved to legends?
For the purpose of this thread we're assuming 11th will be the squatting of all or nearly all firstborn figures and most of their vehicles. This has been happening for a while, but what will you do with your Firstborn when none of them are in a codex anymore?
