Land Raider Pilot on Cruise Control

Hi there. Just another new player here getting into 40k. I have an idea of how things work as I've dabbled in 40k a couple of times in the past but nothing serious. I haven't got any games under my belt yet but have started working on a 500 point ork army shooting for a green tide type setup (kinda fits since I'm just as green  )
Cheers!

Welcome to Dakka Dakka. Glad your getting into the hobby, I started out playing orks but I'm more into the conversion and painting than the actual playing of the game, although I wouldn't mind playing a few games. Unfortunately, NO-ONE in my area plays 40K and the nearest FLGS is over an hour away in Orlando.

It is the 3rd Millennium. For more than a hundred months Games Workshop has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Nottingham. It is the foremost of wargames by the will of the neckbeards, and master of a million tabletops by the might of their inexhaustible wallets. It is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with business strategies from the early Industrial Revolution Age. It is the Carrion Lord of the wargaming scene for whom a thousand veteran players are sacrificed every day, so that it may never truly die. Yet even in its deathless state, GW continues its eternal vigilance. Mighty battleforce starter-sets cross the online-store-infested miasma of the internet, the only route between distant countries, their way lit by a draconian retail trade-agreement, the legal manifestation of the GW's will. Vast armies of lawyers give battle in GW's name on uncounted websites. Greatest amongst its soldiers are the Guardians of the IP, the Legal Team, bio-engineered super-donkey-caves. Their comrades in arms are legion: the writing team and countless untested rulebooks, the ever vigilant redshirts, and the writers of White Dwarf, to name only a few. But for all their multitudes, they are barely enough to hold off the ever-present threat from other games, their own incompetence, Based Chinaman - and worse. To support Games Workshop in such times is to spend untold billions. It is to support the cruelest and most dickish company imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of sales discounts and Warhammer Fantasy Battle, for so much has been dropped, never to be re-published again. Forget the promise of cheaper digital content and caring about the fanbase, for in the GW HQ there is only profit-seeking, Space Marines and Sigmarines. There is no fun amongst the hobby shops, only an eternity of raging and spending, and the laughter of former employees who left GW to join better companies. |

Welcome to Dakka. Don't forget to read battle reports so you could see how some of those tactics work against different armies. Have fun most of all.
