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.

Welcome all to the 133rd 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: Space Marine. Our annual start of the competition. Do want want to travel to distant planets? See exotic creatures and planets? And kill them? Then sign up for the Space Marines today? Not just GW’s Space Marines, but any future soldier that fits the bill. Day in the Marine Corps is like a day on the farm, every meal's a banquet, every paycheck a fortune, every formation a parade. All right, sweethearts, you're a team and there's nothin' to worry about. We come here, and we gonna conquer, and we gonna kick some, is that understood? That's what we gonna do, sweethearts, we are going to go and get some. All right, people, on the ready line! Are ya lean? Are you mean? WHAT ARE YOU?
- 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.

I dunno, since space marines are all getting codex's, each guard regiment should get its own codex too.
codex cadian
codex mordian
codex tallarn
etc.

So im sitting here plugging through my Conquest Sorc Kings army. Loved the models, loved the lore, loved alot of it.
But im also sitting here wondering why bother ynow? the game died(Or more never was really born in this area) leaving me with it and my 4 core group of friends with our armies, and they(alongside me) moved to warmachine. But even war machine feels like a shadow of its current self.
I also played competitive MCP for a long time, until i had a come to jesus moment when i played at a tournament an hour south of me, and all my opponents where people i played.......who i met and hour north of me. the crew remained the same, the location didnt. then i tried to get local games, and i still have to drive.
I remember early late 2000s early 2010s when you had tons of other games all vying for the "Second Game" the one people played besides Warhammer, or left Warhammer for. Warmahordes, Malifaux, Infinity, Dropfleet commander. All my local stroes carried that and had events and game nights.
But now.....its just Warhammer wherever you go. i never see events from any other games advertised.
When i asked my local store if they will carry Gundam or starcraft, the laughed, only wargame they are going to carry now is 40k and the minimum of whatever they are required to.
Did GW really kill that market? was it outside forces like the state of the ecnomy and time?
