Can you describe 40k as a game in 100 words or less??? Lets see if we can get the most accurate description.

Warhammer 40k power fist assassin

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war.

See if you can do better than that! lol.


Wait, even better: (not mine, it's from a motivational poster)

Drive me closer, I want to hit them with my sword.


That totally describes 40k.

It is the 41st millenium, and there is only sci-fi approximation.

40k bring the cheese.

40k It's like chess but with Elves and machineguns and sodomy.

Warhammer 40k. Patience, Free time, disposable income

In the grim darkness of the far future, evil can be accurately measured in spikes per square inch.

I like where this thread is going.

In the grim darkness of the far future, God is now a Caucasian man, he's mortal and we sacrifice people to him because they were born different. The Church burns witches again and most of the galaxy is involved in trench warfare circa the 40's. Black people are a rarity and women either hardasses or scheming assassins. Oh yeah, and we never figure out a solution to global warming.

Would your 12 year old like a space marine?

In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only dakka.

Far flung sci fi future in a human space empire both powerful, decaying and mighty at the same time. Set about at all angles by aliens, daemons and other horrors within. War is a constant in these times.

I love it. Both of them actually. Mass produce some stickers and put them all over your local GW and see how they like it

Space Marines - the few among many. Except in the present day where pretty much everyone plays them and they get more support than every other army put together. Oh, and they have about 50% of the Imperial rule books to represent how their different coloured paint works... Repent ye xeno player! A NEW SPACE MARINES RELEASE IS NIGH!

In the grim darkness of the future, there is only "i need a 2 or better. .... i rolled a 1"

I can do it in Haiku!

Little Plastic Men.
The rule book is clear as mud.
Nerd Rage is Rising.

There seems to be a love of Haikus on dakka.

In this the Haiku
Is superior to all else:
Communication.

I cant do Haiku,
Its far too complicated,
Oh thats one I think.

Let's get off our Spaceships to hit them with swords.

Land raiders, vroom. Kill heretics and Xenos scum. Space marines. Glory to the emperor of mankind upon the golden throne. Imperial guard boom! Space elves. Space dark elves.

Nope, that's it. That's all it needed.

This right here is my 40k.

In da grim an dark future, it's loadsa bleedin' fun cuz dere's weedy humies in every color ta krump, bugs ta squish, an' good fightin' wit' da' demons. Let's 'ave at'm boyz. WAAAAGH!

There is a god of hope, and he is evil.

Grim dark. Grim grim dark grim dark dark grim. Spikes.

God and 40k all men adore,
In times of war, and not before,
But when the game is over,
And the tables righted,
God is forgotten,
And the space marines slighted...
