Hey guys, my freind told me about this forum so i figured i'd join to get to know some people that have played warhammer 40k for awhile (for pro advice lol), anyway i play the guitar half way decently and if anyone asks my guitar idol i Michael romeo (symphony X). my fav. race on warhammer 40k is the Imperial Guard, mainly because of their numbers (i know orks have numbers to but thiers just a reson i like IG better dunno why lol) anyway im considering saving up some cash to start to get a IG codex and some IG infantry and stff, but im kinda new to the board game so i figured mybe some of you guys could help me, for like starting advise and tips about IG and stuff. I've played Dawn of War and th IG seemed like they could hold their own and stuff. anyway thanks if you read this all the way through i'm looking forward to your help and tips. Thanks for reading!

Welcome!

As usual Battle Forces are the best way to start your army , along with purchasing a copy of codex.

But if im not mistaken IG are getting new stuff soon ( forgot the exact date )

Welcome!

Start with the Codex! It can be an expensive game to get into (especially initially) but I think it's safe to say we all love it!

It can be quite a bit of modelling as well as playing.

See you out on the boards!

thx
i have 1 question though it may sound stupid but where would be the best place to find Warhammer 40k things? I know a store but its a little ways away and i was mybe thiking ebay.....but idk help lol?

You can go to http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/home.jsp and find a list of retailers. Ebay is good as well (and you can find some deals if you're patient) if you're familier with using it. Then there is always mail order...

Thanks I've been looking on ebay i've seen some pretty good deals, on some infantry and stuff but i was wondering if Retail stores might be cheaper...

Well GW website prices are pretty standard at retailers (unless you find a deal or sale) in my experience.

Strangely, lots of people seem to buy items off of EBay for just under retail (or the same as) with shipping makes it pricier.

over all, its cheaper to buy from discount online retails instead of ebay.

Ebay usually have cheap individual deals, ( but the cost usually adds up since you wont win them all )
and then you are stuck with paying for $10 for a $7 blister. I dont really like ebay ( unless they offer free shipping , and some do! )
there is a seller on ebay , that offer free shipping ontop of the -20% discount , but i cant remember the seller ID
since it doesnt apply to shipping to canada, might want to find search around.

USA --> Neo? The Warstore ( i heard they have the best service and stuff )
Canada --> Great Canadian Miniature ( some Americans order from here, i personally do too )

Welcome to dakka.

For new GW stuff Maelstrom Games in the UK is insanely cheap thanks to the discount they give and the exchange rate currently.

Welcome and ya hit up some of the online retailers you can get 20 to 30 percent off of retail

dia duit
