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.

So, this thread is kind of a spin of from the discussion about memes in general 40k.
My general understanding about orks was that they follow a rather simple minded approach to all things. Some rumors claim that they are the descendants of a bio-engineered species and supposedly all their knowledge is encoded into their DNA or their equivalent.
The power of belief, or WAAGH-field, supposedly gives them the ability to bend reality to their will. Now, the Orks seem completely unaware of this power. I have read several novels (mostly by Mike Brooks) about them, and I interpreted a lot of the sayings like the red ones go faster in a more metaphorical sense. Any speed freak believing his car must be the fastest will of course slap red paint on it, as he believes it will make it go faster. But of course he will also pay the Mekboy a hefty sum of teeth to get the best engines, lightest frame and so on. So is the color red what really distinguishes his car in speed, or is it more of an identification: those that painted their car red have invested a lot into it going fast. For Orks this may seem obvious (even if just unconsciously), yet for us humans that manage to create documents containing several hundreds of requirements just to be absolutely sure that the light of the car works as intended, this might not be the case.
So, dear loremasters, is it really the color red that makes them go faster?

In the vast universe of Warhammer 40k, every faction has its die-hard fans and its detractors. But some factions seem to evoke a collective groan from the community. Is it the overzealous Space Marines, with their countless chapters and seemingly endless lore? Or perhaps the Necrons, whose ancient, robotic nature can feel a bit stale? Maybe it?s the Tau, with their emphasis on ranged combat and a more "friendly" approach to warfare that just doesn?t sit right with some players.
Let?s dive into the factions that make you roll your eyes or skip past their articles. What is it about these groups that turns you off? Is it their playstyle, their lore, or just the sheer number of models you see on the table? Share your least favorite faction and why they make you want to flip the page or scroll past!
