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.

A warrior forged in divine fire, clad in ornate gold and carrying the Emperor’s wrath into battle. The flaming sword, the crackling power claw, and the sweeping crimson cape were all painted to capture the majesty and fury of a true champion. This model stands as a symbol of authority, faith, and unyielding strength.
We’ll be happy to hear your opinions! If you need a painting, basing, or assembling job on your miniatures, click here:
Thank you guys,

So i'm reading through The Chapters Due (Graham McNeill) and i noticed that on p.28 it states the following
“Ach, these lads? They aren’t first generation,” said Pasanius kicking a dismembered
corpse at Uriel’s feet, a warrior he didn’t remember killing. “They’re a founding from
way down the line. Copies of copies of copies. You don’t dilute Astartes blood for
thousands of years without seeing it become thin and weak.”
Uriel wanted to say that Pasanius was wrong, that the dead didn’t care whether they
were killed by inferior copies of the first Astartes or the genuine article.
And then in I am Slaughter it states...
Bloodlines and gene-seeds were gradually failing over time. The vigour had waned
So basically the question is, is there supposed to be a marked quality difference between ..... say, a generic Space Marine from a 1st Founding Chapter, or a generic Space Marine from, for example, the 24th founding.

Wherever I go, no matter who I talk to, I find a strong dislike of Marneus Calgar. Why is this?

Welcome all to the 134th round of the Dakka Painting challenge. For the unfamiliar, this is a friendly painting competition open to members of all skill levels and experience, whether your entry is your first or you thousand-and-first time painting miniatures. Each month, finished entries are collected into a thread where the community can vote on their favorite pieces, and those votes go towards an annual overall League that runs for 12 rounds.
This month the topic is: Irregular - All’s fair in war. Not everyone is going to engage in a standup fight on a field of battle. Irregulars could be militia, guerrillas, mercenaries, or partisans. They could be warriors who specialize in hit and run warfare. Alternatively, you could interpret “irregular” to refer to a camo pattern that breaks up the shape of the subject. Or anything that doesn’t fit into the normal mold.
- You may enter up to 5 MODELS as a SINGLE ENTRY, and are permitted one entry per member per month. If you enter multiple models, they should ideally be related in some way, such as part of the same squad, unit or scene if you are doing a diorama
- You may enter at any time during the month, up to the last minute. We do encourage people to enter early, as to be part of the community, but if you can’t start until the 11th hour, that’s OK.
- You MUST post a 'proof' picture of your entry in the thread of the state it was in before you started working on it; this must be either unassembled, unpainted, primed or coated a single colour. Entries that do not submit a valid Proof Picture will not be eligible for voting.
- After this, you may post WIP pictures in this thread and your own if you wish, and on completing the entry, you may post up to 6 final pictures IN THIS THREAD that will then be used for voting. Please note that pictures in a montage or collage picture will be considered individual images fo...

My TEHNOLOGs consolidating into one thread for maximum convenience.
Enjoy
Tehnolog - Robogear - Varan - Conversion
Firing mechanism that launches the missiles with the press of the trigger. Kept functional
The pilots are good for a toy but not the best.
Kit came in with extra missile launching triggers that got repurposed as tow hook fittings
missile rack rotates 360 and goes up almost 90*

other side
Mud is mixture of glossy Modpoge, dirt, dark gray paint, grass added later with glossy Modpoge.

Thank you for checking these out.
Dusted off old box from the Motherland of - Tehnolog Robogear
Jumping right into this because I have time! And also because got new airbrush pump and gear from harbor freight on a sale.
Look at all this delicious plastic!!! Back ten I got each unit for like 3, 4, or 6 bucks a piece. Now on ebay they are all waaaay overpriced, it is Polyethylene plastic after all.
Selected the bags with most wear and holes in them.
4 Demolishers it is.
So many cool bits. These are cheap cheap Polyethylene army-men-type toys from the early 2000.
Took a while to remove mold lines, assemble, and keep intact all shooting mechanisms
The lads are not the best, however I did find enough left and right arm bits.
Lots ...
