All polls in this forum are automatically put up on the dakka home page, and as a result, we have to restrict who can post polls here for safety's sake. If you have a poll you would like to see here, then post it in this thread and if a moderator approves it then it will get added. Good polls have concise questions and short answers. Polls can be multiple choice or one answer only. Polls can either be timeless ('what age did you start wargaming') or time limited ('how much did you spend on wargaming in the last 3 months').

Note, your poll will be added MUCH sooner if you also list all available options for the poll response as it saves me having to think about it much.

How about favorite Warhammer Fantasy Battles army? Or favorite Warmachine/Hordes faction? Or favorite faction in some other games like Flames of War or AT-43?

Favorite wargaming genre (Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Steampunk, Historical, Cyberpunk, Wierd War II, Pulp, etc.) or favorite historical period (ACW, Ancients, WW1, WW2, Crimean War, etc.)?

Favorite miniatures line or favorite miniatures producing company? GW, Forge World, Rackham, Battlefront, Urban Mammoth, Privateer Press, Black Tree, Corvus Belli, Perry Brothers, Old Glory, etc...

I've cleaned up the thread a bit now. The above posts will all be added in some form at some point. Keep suggesting stuff though please!

Doesnt have to be wargaming related, but we wont post any polls that will be too divisive (politics, religion, possibly music) as we have a broad range of interests represented on dakka and I'd sooner keep flame wars out of the polls section.

I've just gone on a major poll adding spree and have cleaned out a lot of the ones waiting in this thread.

As usual, keep the suggestions coming please!

Would definitely like to see some WHFB poles since we have so many that can be used for both 40k and fantasy but are only for 40k? Makes no sense to me... just unsure as to why some of them cant be added together... like the pre-painted minis.. dunno whys thats 40k only O.o

How long does a typical ame of WHFB usually last for you?
Whats your favorite edition of WHFB?
Would you buy race specific WHFB terrain?
Would you buy pre-painted WHFB miniatures?
What WHFB races do you buy/collect?

Favorite chaos god??

What was your favorite gw paint line?

Citadel Paints
Inks
Foundation
Washes
All of them.. I love gw!
None... I hate gw!

(if I missed any, please add them)

How about favorite points level for a WHFB game? or 40k?

Family wargamers? Who has family playing the game?
Options(multi-choice):

- no-one in my family plays any wargame
- my brother/s [(possibly 2 choices i.e 1 brother or 2+)] play a wargame
- my sister/s play a wargame
- my mother plays a wargame
- my father plays a wargame
- they are also members of dakkadakka

[(possibly edit it to include RPs etc)]

If you were facing a so-called "true-scale" space marine army, would you prefer the infantry (standard space marines) were based on:

a. 25mm "standard bases"
b. 30mm
c. 40mm "terminator bases"

Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks!

How many hours on average do you spend on Dakka Dakka each day.

Thoughts on painted/unpainted armies at local tournaments with no requirements...

-Regardless of requirements, you should have your army fully painted and based.
-The army needs to be at least primed and or base coated.
-Armies should be fully built, even if its bare plastic... paint doesnt matter.
-I dont care, painted or unpainted... I go to tournies to win!

Where do you purchase your models online?

1. GW website
2. The War Store
3. Miniature Market
4. Wayland Games
5. Ebay
6. (more store options)
7. Other website (write in)
8. I don't buy or buy at a local hobby shop/GW store.

How's your grasp of the 40k rules?

-Near flawless. I've practically got the rulebook and most codexes memorized.
-Great. I don't need to ever check a book most games.
-Good. I know most stuff, but I'll forget rules every once in a while.
-Decent. I get confused on little things a decent amount.
-Poor. I need to check the book a lot.
-Terrible. I can barely get through a phase without looking it up in the book.
-I don't play 40k.
-Other

Paper Terrain at a Tourney?

If table(s) of newspaper, boxes and books terrain were set up at a Tournament (RTT standard style) for armies that did not meet a 3 color standard to be paired on round one (and announced in advance) would that be:

(1) Terrible
(2) Great
(3) No opinion

As a follow on from the 'How much do you earn' poll, how about a 'How old are you, what age group do you fall into' poll. Reading through some of the comments on the 'how much do you earn' poll, i'm thinking i'm a dinosaur compared to some people on here!

Did a search and didn't find this one. I find it hard to believe that I am the first to ask this but:

Which current or dropped 40K Army listed here is your Favorite?

Please, do not vote because the army has the strongest current codex, but rather base your vote upon look of models, back story, price and the Armies playstyle.

THIS IS A POLL ABOUT WHAT DRAWS THE AVERAGE HOBBYIST TO AN ARMY, NOT ABOUT WHICH CODEX IS MOST COMPETITIVE.

Please post why you voted the way you did.

Black Templars

Blood Angels

Chaos Demons

Chaos Space Marines

Codex: Daemon Hunters/GK

Codex: Witch Hunters/SoB

Craftworld Eldar

Dark Angels

Dark Eldar

Eldar

IG

Necrons

Orks

Space Marines

Space Wolves

Squats

Tau

The Lost and the Damned

Tyranids



Edit-I did this poll in 40K discussions. Interesting though limited results. Would be interesting to see the results from a broader cross section.

"If you could remove an army from 40k (GW would never again mention it or provide product support for it) which would it be?"

Black Templars
Space Marines
Space Wolves
Dark Angels
Blood Angels
Witchhunters
Daemonhunters
Sisters of Battle
Imperial Guard
Necrons

I'd like to ask a really simple poll question...

How long does it take you to get ready in the morning?

who is you're faviroute primarch

Unique (listed for models in the codex) follows the rules for Unique Characters (regardless of whether they are listed as Characters)?

1) A named model is unique but not a Unique Character

2) A model will not necessarily be a Unique Character despite being Unique--since those rules apply to characters--they are not character so the restriction on multiple models is irrelevant.

3) A model can be Unique without following the rules for unique characters despite no model being listed as a Unique Character.

4) Unique models follow the rules for Unique characters.

5) Models that are Unique follow the rules for "Unique Characters" as there are not other rules for dealing with "Unique" models.

Which part of the world are you from?

1. Europe
2. Asia
3. North America

May have been this one asked before as I'm on and off randomly but the question of what stops people getting into the specialist games and playing them a lot is something I'd be interesting in seeing up. Whether it's the lack of support, the now prohibitive cost etc as I've fond memories of many moons ago when they were pushed a lot.

If Battlefleet Gothic were made into a PC game which kept true to it's roots and was turn based but also had the option of real time combat, would you buy it?

1) Hell yeah I'm pre-ordering the Special Edition now!
2) Yes, but I'll wait for the normal edition.
3) Depends on the developer and how true it stays to the boardgame, but probably.
4) As I'm a pirate in the boardgame, I'd pirate the computer game!
5) No. I'd rather stick pins in my eyes.
6) What in the warp is Battlefleet Gothic?
7) For Christmas I'd rather have a George W. Bush action figure.

the only reason we go on about the weather is it's a hell of a lot more interesting than everyone elses. In russia you know it's snowing, in spain you know it's sunny, in scotland you know it's raining. England is the only country where it snows in the summer and is sunny in the winter.

I would like to start a poll on the strenuousness of WYSIWYG.

I've heard groans from nid players who have to add toxin sacs and adrenal glands to 80+ termagaunts...or take them off if they decide to change their lists, and felt the frustration of changing out arms on my models. I've heard of some stores that actually require psychic powers to be modeled. What do you think, Dakka-ites? What place does WYSIWYG have in 40K?

A. 100% WYSIWYG required. You better find a way to model Aura of Decay, Transfixing Gaze, and every other nuance of your list!
B. Weapons and models should be WYSIWYG'ed...psychic powers, daemonic gifts and other aspects can slide.
C. Models should be correct, but weapons and everything else not needed.
D. You can sub anything in...genestealers can act as Necron Warriors...why not?
E. WSYIWYG is just a way for stores to make you buy more models, bits and modeling supplies.
F. No opinion.

How do internet armies affect your FLGS? I know that with the internet out that it's impossible to have a completly original army list but when all people do is copy and paste from the internet there army list, some people at my FLGS tend to be annoyed.

2: The people who play net lists don't understand the game and lose anyway.
3: People win with net lists so everyone does it.
4: Some people play net lists and it doesn't bother anyone.

Meh. Metal was just as good.
Don't like it. Resin is terrible to work with and metal felt better.
I'm not going to buy any finecast models. metal all the way!
I don't buy miniatures (what are you doing on this forum?)

What Would Be a Good Nickname For the New Finecast Game's Workshop Models?

Old Name is Fine
Failcrap
Failcast
Fullocrap
Other (insert clever name here).

I suggest a new ''What 40k Army Is most in need of an update'' the other one is outdated.

And the new one shouldn't have multiple choice in my opinion.

Do you think you have enough friends?

-I think I need more friends.
-I got plenty of friends, so, enough.
-I don't have any friends.
-I could use some more friends, but got enough
-Other?

Cats or dogs? Which is best?

whats better for firesweep

Flamers

Meltas

Plasma guns

Grenade launchers

Haters and jealous people voting your work down out of spite.

Ahh! You spend all this time, blood, sweat and tears painting a mini to the best of your ability and some hater, who probably can't paint a barn door with an 8" roller gives your work some stupid, jealous rating coz they've got nothing better going on in they're sad little lives.
It's not constructive, if it was they'd comment and tell you why they didn't like it but no they just vote your work down and don't give other aspiring painters the right to see your work and be inspired to progress.
I can take low marks from great artists but not from "splashers" with no eye for colour who chuck paint on a mini like an office worker on a paintball "team building day".
You know who you are and should be ashamed of your jealous nature. If you don't like my work tell me why and we can both be better people.

On average, how many concerts do you go to per year?

How good do you paint your avarage troopers? (Standard Space Marines, Imperial guard, Orks etc.)

-I don't paint
-I don't paint them very well.
-Ok, they aren't masterpieces, but not horrible either.
-I paint them quite well.
-I make masterpieces out of them.

Title: Have you/will you stop buying from Games Workshop?

Poll options:

1. I am still buying or planning to buy hobby games from GW.
2. I am only completing projects/armies I have already got, then I am buying no more armies.
3. I gave up over the recent problems in the last couple months.
4. I stopped buying last year. (2010)
5. I stopped buying the year before that. (2009)
6. I stopped buying a while ago. (2006-2008)
7. I stopped buying early last decade. (2000-2005)
8. I stopped buying ages ago. (90's)
9. I stopped buying when they got rid of non GW games. (80's)
10. I never bought into the GW hobby, exception for painting and modeling supplies or the odd conversion piece.
11. I never bought anything from GW on principle.

OP Text: We have asked about people leaving GW before for one reason or other but who here has actually done so and when. All options except the first and last one allow for someone to have given up on GW and yet buy a replacement paint or even a single miniature or replacement codex for an army, so long as you have for all intents and purposes given up on buying GW armies.
The reason for giving up is not part of this thread, some may have converted to Warmachine, others priced out of the market, otherws dislike one rules change too many, others may have refused to buy on principle.

My poll so I should start off. I stopped buying anything substantial from GW in 2007, I have since been tempted by nice sculpts, but not tempted enough to win me back. I may buy a paint or two, or even a boxset for an army I have or to convert for another game. But GW lost my real custom three price hikes ago. I can no longer afford the 'GW hobby', I am by no means through with wargaming though and have seen fit to spend my money instead on Fantasy Flight, Warmachine, Dystopian Wars and Rackham products.

For those who dislike GW but still play their games, what is preventing you from walking away and starting fresh with another company?

- I don't like metal models/kits.
- I don't like the look/asthetic of the other company's models.
- Too few people at my LFGS play the other company's game.
- All my friends are currently into GW games and don't want to switch.
- The game I was considering is no longer being published/supported or the company has gone out of business.
- The other company's game is fairly expensive, too.
- I would switch but I can't seem to get a reasonable price for my GW stuff on eBay these days.
- Dakka doesn't have a dedicated forum for the other company's games.
- I'm addicted to GW plastic, God help me.
- The IRS gave me a tax break for claiming GW as a dependent so if I leave, it'll trigger an audit.
- Other (write-in).

I'm a relaxed sort of fellow, no hate here.

That all sounded ironically hateful didn't it... :/
Is that a bit harsh? Haha maybe. Me-so-sad with all the hating on Dakka. Share the love.
Hmm... I'm going to open a thread for that purpose. Buhbye!

I'm thinking of a poll to see how many bronies/non-bronies there are on dakka (I thought of it in school). sorry if non wargaming polls aren't allowed here, I'm not sure. call it a social experiment...

Favourite Painting Technique maybe. Ie, drybrush, wash, edge highlight, shading, stippling, reverse highlights?

Hey, is it only the admins who can post threads here?

What do you look for in a campaign skirmish game?

Not sure if this would be the right place for this poll, but I would be interested in seeing what where everyone's political affiliations lie.

Options would include democrat, republican, independent, moderate, and possibly liberal and conservative. These options would give a fairly general view of the political demographic of wargamers.

Which Lore of Magic is your favourite?

Which First? - Paint Before Glue or Glue Before Paint?

Options:
- Paint Pieces Before Assembling / Gluing
- Glue / Assemble Before Painting (base included)
- Glue / Assemble Before Painting (base not included)



How do you prefer to deal with this early stage of your miniatures? Do you paint each individual piece before assembling? If so, how do you hold the pieces?

Which method do you find the most effective or preferable to achieve your desired results?
What are the pros / cons of your method?

The polls are anonymous right? I think this would be a great poll:

To what degree do you have a criminal record? [single choice]
1. Have served time in prison.
2. Found guilty of multiple major crimes.
3. Found guilty of a major crime.
4. Found guilty of multiple minor crimes.
5. Found guilty of a minor crime.
6. Have no criminal record.

Notes for the OP:
Please answer honestly. The poll is anonymous so no one will find out who ticked the box unless you tell them.

Other options crossed my mind to add to get better statistics but you end up with a long and confusing list. The way i've laid it out seems to be the best way of presenting the options in a concise manner which isn't constricted to one country but i'm no lawyer so i might have missed something. I hope you run with this, i'd like to see the results.

For the record, i have no criminal record to speak of!

Maybe, HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT YOUR OPPONANT USING PROXY MODELS

i make proxy tanks and titans for apoc because i simpely cant afford to play with all the real models, just wondering how other people feel about this

OPTIONS

- i love them, brings out the creativity in my opponant

-dont mind, no matter how their built they generally look the same and have the same stats

-prefer not to, the game looks better with proper units

-agree with them, other player may not be able to buy the real thing

-dislike them, it feel silly playing against fake models

If you were to fall to one of the Chaos Gods, which would it be and why?

- Khorne
- Nurgle
- Slaanesh
- Tzeentch

Who's your favourite Black Library author? (MOD question, can we do multiple choice?)

How about best-named ork or orc rule? There are some truely hilarious ones out there.

Hi Legoburner

Here's my idea for a poll - I hope the answers aren't too long! Let me know if I need to change anything.

Cheers!




STEAMPUNK TECHNOLOGY

What level of technology would you like to see in a counter factual 19th century Steampunk game (tabletop wargame, RPG or video game)?

1. Basic steampunk – Just as it was in the 19th century, with some rare technological marvels e.g. Captain Nemo’s Nautilus
2. Advanced steampunk – As above, but with many early 20th century advances e.g. tanks, reliable machine guns, bi-planes etc.
3. Extreme steampunk – Ultra high tech where pretty much anything is possible e.g. robots, steam-powered mechs, rocket ships, atomic devices etc.
4. Supernatural steampunk – Any combination of the above, plus mystical powers e.g. magic, psychic powers, undead walking the Earth etc.
5. No more steampunk! – There are two many steampunk games already and the market is saturated
6. I hate steampunk

Are vehicles too fragile in 6th Edition?

Yes
No
Vehicles? Ha! I play 'Nids, sucka.

What is your reaction to 6th edition as a 40k player?

1) I have had a positive reaction, and I feel that 6th edition will spur the growth of our hobby, and I personally plan to play more.

2) I have had a negative reaction, and I feel that 6th edition will make the hobby decline, and I personally plan to play less.

How much do you hate people posting in 'Orkish'?
-I think it's funny (my facebook is set on pirate, too!)
-I dont mind because I learned english from text messaging.
-It doesn't bother me.
-My first language isn't english, I thought you all talked like that.
-I'm a grammar commissar, and it drives me crazy!

What do you prefer in terms of gametypes?

Purge the Alien type games
Objective Based Games
Games like The Scouring
Unique games such as The Relic
More Defensive than Offensive modes (dependant on army)
More Offensive than Defensive modes (dependant on army)

Just wanted to know what most people enjoyed playing

Which 40k faction do you feel should receive more attention fluffwise?

Edit: by "faction" I mean that Dark Angels/ Space Wolves would belong to a greater faction called "Space Marines"

Which leader should run for Prez in the U.S.?
Warboss Orkbama
Battle-Brother Romney
Chaos Lord Vermin Supreme
Archon Ron Paul
Supreme Phaeron Johnson
Commisar Gingrich
Etheral Perry
and Hive Tyrant Santorum.
I know most of them have dropped out, but c'mon! Orkbama!

What race are we actually?

Take a moment to think about it. The game we play on the table-top could be real, but maybe our models are just wrong... Maybe Daemons actually look like orcs and chaos looks like imperial guard.

Anyway, based on our traits what race do you think we (the humans on planet earth) are more like

Orcs - Maybe we are very behind the rest of the galaxy and our only hope lies in budgeoning our enemies to death
Eldar - Then again we could be very advanced and ahead or our time
Chaos - Everyone has a bit of evil in them, and maybe we will fall to it soon
Dark Eldar -
Necrons - A bit of terminator or something here, we advance so far we become immortal
Tau - We might be small, but we are rapidly advancing compared to the rest of the universe. Our kroot allies could be the dinosaurs.
Tyranids - Maybe our dinosaurs we bring to life kill us all and they end up doing their thing
IoM/SM/IG - Or we could just be, well, human

What style of 40K Kill Team do you play?

Fantasy Flight RPG
4th Edition
Battle Missions.
Other (Online resource, house rules, etc.)
All of the above
PS3/Xbox360 game

What religion are you?

Agnostic
Atheist
Buddhist
Christian
Hindu
Judaism
Muslim
Neo-Pagan
Sikh
Wiccan

Other (please state)

I have always been interested in what draws people to 40k and wonder if it has anything to do with what spiritual or religious belief system people have (if any).
Furthermore, since so many religious ideas are reflected in the 40k universe, it would be fascinating to see if people from one religious tradition would be more likely to collect and play with a particular 40k faction.
For example, would Wiccans and Neo-Pagans be more drawn to Eldar, since the craftworlds are named after pagan holidays (Beltane, Samhain) and a lot of their mythology has similarities to Hindu mythology. Or perhaps Christians enjoy certain Space Marine chapters for similarities to biblical characters and events?

Perhaps it doesn't matter at all, but it would be interesting nonetheless!

I've designed a hand full of 28mm "scaled" sci-fi civilian vehicles to populate the typically desolate streets of the future cities (wargames , skirmish games, apocalyptic, etc). At this stage I would like to asses relative popularity/preference of the particular models. For scale the smallest model is just under 20 mm tall, the train is about 10" long All models are very close to scale to eachother. Im hoping this will help me prioritize production, assuming there is enough of a response.

Please Vote for models you would be most interested in...
Up to 2 of the numbered models

And/OR
Up to 2 of the lettered models

And/OR
Not interested unless they come armed

OR Not interested, I like my streets empty of anything civilian as wargames should be.


F/0 can be voted in either category as I view it as a threshold on size and volume for production.

Bring back the old Necromunda style bulkheads you can make 'em into anything (bulkheads and clip-in/push-in printed card stock)
More like cities of death, just easy on the skulls! (something comparable with Cities of death, but way less "proto gothic")
Clip together, clip apart boxes you can add detail too as required (a la Micro art studios and warmill)
I don't want more plastic terrain, I'm happy using cardboard packaging and my imagination

Thanks,

EDIT:

Removed idea, decided to ask in 40k instead.

Something that Ive wondered on some time and feel it is something that could be discussed.

Title and subject: Is it acceptable to paint Nazi decals and symbols on war gaming miniatures?
Obvious examples been WWII German miniatures and less obvious examples been a WWII inspired guard army.

- YES its acceptable
- NO its still not acceptable
- DEPENDS on the miniature game


It would be interesting to hear peoples opinions on this subject as it can be pretty down the middle depending who you ask and I feel it could spark an interesting debate.

Do you build non-wargaming models? (planes, cars, trains, etc)

What is you opinion of GW paintbrushes.

1. Good value
2. Overpriced
3. Horrible in every way
4. I don't use their brushes

What is the wargaming communities ethnic background? Would that be safe, or not a good idea to ask?

Do you ever buy models just because you like its looks or want to paint the model?

1. No, I never buy models based on looks, only stats.
2. It must look good and have decent stats for me to buy it.
3. Yes, I never buy models based on stats, only looks.

What gender are you?
1. Male
2. Female

I think "What sex are you?" would probably get better results. Sex is a physical characteristic, gender is mental.

Warhammer or Warhammer 40k?

How do you feel about "Counts As" units in your army or your opponents' armies?

1) I love using them and feel they should be encouraged. Using imagination to create unique armies is what makes this hobby great!
2) I don't use them personally, but I don't mind when others do. Sometimes they're a nice change of pace.
3) I'll only allow them (or use them myself) if they look reasonably similar to the unit they're replacing. No IG "counting as" 'Nids in my games.
4) It depends how they're used. Sometimes small changes (like a proxy weapon) are okay, but I prefer the core of the model to be the official unit.
5) I don't think they should be allowed at all, WYSIWYG all the way!
6) I don't have an opinion one way or the other, but good luck using them in official GW tournies and stores.
7) My entire army is proxies made out of my brother's old pogs, and isn't it lunch time? I could really go for a "counts as" sandwich right now.
8) Other (write in)

I haven't seen this poll done before and it's something I've been wondering a lot about lately, as I am considering using some minis from other manufacturers to create a more unique Space Marine army. I would love to know what the folks around here think to try to get a general idea of how acceptable it is to fully replace an official GW unit with products from other manufacturers. Although my focus is generally with 40K, I'd like to open this poll to any and every tabletop game and manufacturer, so feel free to discuss WFB, Warmachine, Infinity, etc as well. Thanks for you consideration.

Question: witch is your favorite primarch on forgeworld
Answer: any of the primarchs

Which mechanicum has a better style (visual, play) 40k or 30k.

[Title] How long do your 40K matches last (1800 points)?

[1]Less than two hours.
[2]Two to three hours.
[3]Three to four hours.
[4]Four to five hours.
[5]More than 5 hours.
[6]Eternity.

I am just wondering to myself how long the average game takes for you guys. The points don't have to be precise, 1800 is my group's average game. Basically my group and I take around 4 or 5 hours to complete our weekly game, probably a little slower than most since we have 4 players in teams of two splitting the points. I'd say our group never actually finished a game to the end, one side tends to give up at one point, probably in part due to the length of the game...

What should GW do in terms of web bundles?

What part of 40k do you take part in?

Tabletop
Lore
Video Games
Other

I'm asking this because with how expensive things can get, not everyone is into the tabletop part of it. (Myself included). I can see why it's so popular, but I can't afford it as a hobby, so I stick with the books, writing a bit of fan fiction, and the video games of it.

Where are most people on dakkadakka from?

America
Europe
Japan
Other

I'm asking this to see where in the world you would want to go to play tabletop games.

Cheers, C66
