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.

Dakka Forum: Konflikt' 47 - Wave 2 pre-order & The Rift War Volume One: Festung Europa announced


Posted: 2026-03-05 11:59:07
Forum post by beast_gts, 36 responses at time of this post.

Defend the Commonwealth!
The opening of the Rifts has inured the people of Britain and its many overseas territories to new hardships of war.
Enduring, British resolve is now at an all time high, and they stand ready to unleash their own new weapons of war upon the dread force of the Axis and the Empire of Japan.
Konflikt' 47 Wave 2 products, now on pre-order individually. https://bit.ly/3lLuxAQ
Wave 2 is the separate kits from the British Commonwealth starter army box, minus the Humber Mk VII.


Let's see what we've been teasing this week in all its glory!
This fantastic illustration by Davide Manna will be available in art print form, exclusively with pre-orders of the upcoming Konflikt '47 supplement - The Rift War Volume One: Festung Europa.
Next week we'll be taking a look at the book itself. Maybe that date was significant... https://scontent.fman2-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/616575337_1332525208916135_6461870888707398505_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s640x640_tt6&_nc_cat=108&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=127cfc&_nc_ohc=8oR02Hvxl8EQ7kNvwGrwWA_&_nc_oc=AdnzIMZvxxV1AsINNqwrzr2DIkNlgsDfZ0l7C64AppVWnaO5ru1-Fv3R4Jx3oM_VRwk&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent.fman2-1.fna&_nc_gid=Df_n7jiz5kK7DZGloXkTaA&oh=00_AfriuQbNpFdhQKbMH2YtQskPAhILkkLfWjRCAA4aFuzVnw&oe=69706CCF
Will we get DLC before Russia gets their box?

Dakka Daily Poll: How much is a good price for a fully plastic 6x4 battlefield (in USD)?


Posted: 2026-03-03 09:59:07
How much is a good price for a fully plastic 6x4 battlefield (in USD)?
N/A - I dont play games that need a battlefield
$0-1 - I'll only ever build my own
$1-$40 - Super cheap or not interested
$41-$80 - Around the level of cost of materials for building my own
$81-$100 - Up to $100 seems reasonable
$101-$130 - Slightly more premium priced due to the time savings
$131-$150 - Up to $150 for the ready to go quality
$151-$175 - Still much easier than doing it myself
$176-$200 - The portability justifies the price
$201+ - I've got no upper spending limit for something that serves the purpose perfectly.

Dakka Forum: A few months into 10th Ed, how are we feeling about the lack of force org?


Posted: 2026-03-02 11:59:07
Forum post by -Guardsman-, 37 responses at time of this post.

I think it was a big mistake to remove force organization and replace it with the rule of three for non-battleline units. Now an Imperial Guard army can theoretically fill its 2000 pts (and even >3000 pts) with nothing but Leman Russes. Who needs Objective Control when you can just wipe your enemy off the table?
