More About Dakka

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.

Sponsor Press Release:
Thornvale City Kickstarter


Posted: 2025-12-11 20:00:00


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.

Announcing the New Year Warhammer Preview Live! 2026 – your first reveal show of the year
https://assets.warhammer-community.com/newyear_incoming-jan01-promo-faay1xvgxr.jpg

It’s 2026 – a brand new year, so what’s on the horizon? We know that the Maggotkin of Nurgle are plodding into pre-order this weekend, and we already have our tickets booked to visit the 500 Worlds of Ultramar and Grand Cathay, and that’s only the start of what is set to be a bumper year for Warhammer.

Well, we’re only one day in and here’s news of the Warhammer first preview show of the year!

The New Year Warhammer Preview Live! 2026 will be beamed across the world from right here at Warhammer World. Adam and Eddie will be your hosts, guiding you through all the awesome new reveals. Did you catch the subtle hints as to what might be coming in the video?

We can confirm The New Year preview will cover Warhammer 40,000, Warhammer Age of Sigmar, Warhammer: The Horus Heresy, and Blood Bowl.

One thing that seems like a good bet for this preview is that we’ll find out more about Huron Blackheart’s Red Corsairs and the turbulent realm of the Maelstrom. Some of you might even have heard the reports, and seen the warp-distorted pict captures of battles from that cursed region.

We know that Huron isn’t pirating alone, and today we can show you one of his most loyal followers: This is Garreon the Corpsemaster – former Chief Apothecary of the Astral Claws, and rumoured to be one responsible for piecing Huron back together after he met the wrong end of a meltagun at the Siege of Badab.

He’s just one of a veritable battle barge full of new Corsairs*, sailing your way soon. You can see more of Huron, Garreon and the rest of the Red Corsairs live in the Preview show.

The show will be going out live at 7:30pm on the 16th of January, and you can watch it all on either Twitch or YouTube. A...

Dakka Forum: A Warhammer World in the USA? Get the details here.

A Warhammer World in the USA? Get the details here.

We’re excited to announce today that we’re starting work on a new Warhammer World… this time in the USA!

That’s right, soon there will be another must-visit Warhammer location to add to your bucket list!

Based just outside Washington DC, this new Warhammer World will be a flagship venue that celebrates Warhammer in all its forms: gaming, painting, modelling, storytelling, events, and community. The original Warhammer World in Nottingham, UK sets a very high bar. We’re not going to replicate it brick-for-brick, but instead build something equally uncompromising on quality and experience, something worthy of Warhammer’s rich settings and of course the title ‘Warhammer World’. And of course, at the heart of all this is creating something extraordinary for all of you – the Warhammer fans!

Now, there’s a lot to do – but with a fair wind, and the might of the Emperor and his inexhaustible armies, we hope to open the doors late in 2027.

Here and there on dakka and other resources I'd seen mention that aircraft can gone/legended in next edition. Are there any rumors or hints from GW? Or it's all just speculation from ppl who don't like aircrafts?
