Also! The smurfs/hello kitty armies are beyond pandering. If she is curious about the game, she is probably drawn to the ugliness and brutality of the models.

I protest. Chaos Space Marines are very sexy.

Just look at those spikes. Mmmmmm.

Mmmmm and the twisting wretched forms of old pink horrors tearing their mouth open to let two mini guys hop out that start bickering whilst the others giggle clapping their hands together as they oo and aaa at mutating fireworks.... and the nurglings wanting to hug you! And don't forget those adorable little gribblies the nids have eeeee! So who is sexier? CSM or DE?

But yeah, glad to hear! May your guardsman survive the vollies of fire still holding their flag.

Chaos Marines or Dark Eldar?

Ehh... Incubi are hawt, sure, but they don't play in the same league as CSM.

The Chaos Boyz blow them out of the water.

Oh my~
The real question comes down to how many spikes they have!

These people are excellent judges in appeal. I too enjoy putting wrought iron fences on my Rhinos. Keeps out stray flesh hounds.Very austere.

Haha when my girlfriend first saw my models, she honestly thought we went 'bang, bang' and moved them around willy nilly as though we were 6 year olds playing with little green army men.
She has been present during a few battles with my friends as if we battle around our place we have to use the living room (its a small apartment). She has asked about how it all works... but where to start when answering that question?!?
One of the first posters suggested a 500pt battle so you don't overload her, and thats what I will do if my gf shows any more interest. One tip though - when picking your armies... pick her a stronger force, either in points or in effective units.

Just for the record, I disagree with that last part: Don't coddle her just 'cause she's a molly unless you're really, really good at being subtle (here's a hint: you're not).

You can't go wrong with smurfs (from this battle report.)




Break her in slowly and let her win a few games. Then show her all the different armies in the BRB and see which one catches her fancy aesthetically. Then work from there.

BAhahahahahahahahahhaahahahhaahhahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahaHUEHUEHUEHUEHEHUEHUEhahahaha


- Seriously though, just have a game and she'll decide for herself whether or not she likes it - same as with any beginner, start with the basics before brining in too many special rules, small games like the in-store intro games would be ideal

Being able to spell simple words would help. As girls don't like associating with foolish people. So her 'frieking out' is not going to help the situation.

You must not associate with women very often.

LOL...

Make sure you let her win! Give her an army that is strong against yours!

I lost it when i saw the dreadnought!

I think it's important to have different interests in a relationship. My wife has no interest in playing [although she is very supportive and buys me Forge World stuff every birthday/Christmas], and I like it that way tbh. Warhammer is my man time, and no matter how much you love someone everyone needs a break now and then. If she started wanting to play too I'd be a little disappointed, same as if I started going to her kickboxing classes.

Hey guys, just needing a bit of help with something.

So my girls finally figured out after 2 months of us dating that I play 40k, now she's asking me to show her how to play and introduce her to the game.
Has anyone dealt with this sort of thing before and got any advice they can give us?
Any helps appreciated, cheers guys.

Make them play against each other, marry the winner.

^ HA if only

And tyrannosaurus, I still have my shooting as my man time, so It odesnt really matter in that department. But yeah I do get what your saying.
