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 babylon 5, 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.

Thought I might ask people who are more versed in the lore than me...
What does a pdf on a impreso world look like in terms of equipment, vehicles and man power.
Thanks

Example, this question is in the CA18 FAQ
Q: Do units that do not ?take up slots in a Detachment? (e.g. Death Cult Assassins, via their Ecclesiarchy Battle Conclave ability) allow you to exceed the maximum number of allowed slots for a Detachment? For example, a Patrol Detachment only allows for two Elites units. Can I exceed that by including a third unit with a similar ability?
A: Yes, unless the Detachment is an Auxiliary Support Detachment: their Restriction allowing only a single unit is not bypassed by such units.Why in the name of Gork and Mork is this question hidden away in the CA18 FAQ and not in the main rulebook FAQ? This applies to a fair amount of armies. It's already bad enough that we have important core questions spread out over now 4 FAQs (Designers Commentary, Stepping into a New Edition, Rulebook FAQ and now CA18 FAQ) but several codex FAQs have important answers that should apply to all armies but technically don't (such as the Extra Relics/Stratagems answers in the Death Guard FAQ).
Is it too much to ask for even a base level of competence when it comes to this? We're already being fleeced on the rules and models.

The subject says it all. And it's probably been discussed before, but I may as well fire it up and see what ideas other people have out there. Essentially, you can rebuild/reboot any army- mechanics and all- perhaps even the model styles or what-have-you... so what would you change?
First off, I'd like one little 'broad' change.
I think the first thing I'd do is just make all Space Marines- Primaris or Non-Primaris... all one thing. All Space Marines of all flavors and loyalties- would have 2 wounds, with obvious point adjustments so they'd be capable of taking their full arsenal. I'm personally fine with the larger Primaris-scale, and I've always wished Space Marine scale creep was about ten years faster. I'd be okay if Games Workshop released upgrade kits with larger legs to go with original torsos and make them larger than they are now. Of course, I'd want them to say that 'any space marine model you have is still valid', because I understand the attachment some people have to the older, 'squattier' Marines. Because I really can't get into the Primaris Lore, but the models are pretty great and I actually enjoy using them more than I thought I would.
The other thing I'd like to see change? Chaos Space Marines.
I've always felt like the way the Traitor Legions, Renegade Warbands, and Heretic Astartes are presented in fluff and fiction doesn't match up with the way they are on the tabletop. CSM always seemed like they would be a bit more like Deathwatch- by that, I mean a group of veteran-tier Marines with mix-and-match weapon loadouts. I kind of always pictured them as having to be bit more vicious, cunning, and resourceful- and therefore, those of them that are still around in a warband have gotten there more by their own skill and guile- each individual CSM would be a sort of individual character in his own way, much like Deathwatch Mari...

Let's make a hypothetical situation... neither money nor time are an issue, which new mono army would you buy and paint (no soup)? It doesn't have to be for competition... could just be a fluffy army you've been wanting to build (you'll see some that appear to be doubled up on the list, but they are only there if they have a specific set of armor for all of their models for example)
I"m curious which you all would pick.
