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.

Hi all,
What are some games that you thought had some amazing potential, but for whatever reason never really captured the attention of the wargaming community (at least in your area)?
One that sticks out to me is Sludge by the creator of Relicblade. It has a post-apolalyptic medieval-napoleonic-ww1 setting similar to Turnip28 (I think they were created around the same time) but set in its own world rather than an alternative Europe.
Sludge has got a pretty solid core game that works well for small napoleonic battles, but in particular what stood out to me is the morale mechanics. Fighting generates "gore", represented physically on the table by tokens (which are encouraged to be modelled). Gore reduces the effectiveness of nearby units and makes them more likely to break etc. There's a bunch of other interactions such as certain magic casters being able to increase or decrease the amount of gore or draw extra power from it, or certain units such as shock troops generating more gore, etc.
I found it to be really immersive, where significant battlefield events had a lasting and visible effect. That ruin over there where some shock troops massacred and routed a block of line infantry is now a place of fear. Very cool and the most interesting and immersive implementation of morale I've seen.
There was a little of bit of interest when it was first released, I think guerrilla miniature games made a couple of videos, but it didn't seem to get the same attention asTurnip28 did. Part of the reason may have been that it was initially released in Blaster magazine, rather than being available its own right (its since been released on its own). It could also be the case that there's a huge cult following, but not in my area!
Another one from a while back was World of Twilight. It was my first introduction to an activation system that wasn't IGOUGO and was fun f...
