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.

Fear is one of the strongest and most important emotions. Any of the current Big 4 is emboding it - and it cannot be reduced to emotions which are embodied by them (no, Khorne is not god of fear, just because victims are afraid of his worshippers - he is actually god of bravery and he doesn't want his sacrifices to be afraid of him, he wants them to be slaughtered asap). And he would be an obvious patron for the Night Lords.

The 40k Land Raider kit makes me a very sad panda when I think about buying and building it. The Legiones Astartes Land Raider Proteus on the other hand I think would make a really cool Venerable Land Raider for my Adeptus Custodes.
The issue is: The two Land Raiders aren't exactly the same size. Am I hurting myself if I choose to use the smaller vehicle?
Also, I remember that you could use HH vehicles in 40k that had the same name (Rhino/Land Raider), is that still the case for 11th?

See title.
Theoretically, a Space Marine is an inhuman and transhuman killing machine, a weapon of war with no other purpose.
In practice, they’re presented in a pretty human fashion.
So what do you like? Do you feel the current outlook is good? Less human? More human?

How do you feel when people try to force one universe into another when wargaming?
Let's just assume all models are WYSIWYG, and acceptably modeled. (And not totally world breaking, like playing StarCraft with My Little Pony figures). I'f someone showed up with a GI Joe/ Cobra themed Imperial Guard army with helmeted Guardsmen painted blue with Tanks converted to look like Cobra Hiss tanks (counting as Taurox) would it be cool, or just annoying?
I ask this because I'm planning a conversion idea I had from over 20 years ago. Anyone here old enough to have gamed on an N64? I'd like to 3D model and print a Goliath tank from the game Battletanx. Not sure which race to theme it for though. Imperial Guard, Orks, and Votaan all seem like good choices.

Showing my age here, and there may be some lore developments which I have missed, but why on terra is this new box set, named "Armageddon", the iconic site of the battles between Commissar Yarrick of the Imperial Guard and Ghazkull's Orks, featuring Orks and... space marines?
I know that Space Marines are paint-by-numbers posterchildren of 40k, but when did they become the go-to imperial faction one considers when thinking of Armageddon? Am I missing some lore that makes this make sense, or is it just because GW has some weird thing where every starter set must have people buy space marines?
