Achievements are challenges players can unlock on Steam games or Xbox games or whatever. Unlocking an achievement is purely cosmetic. It is just to show other people you have accomplished this task in a game, and for Xbox, it increases your Gamerscore.

If Warhammer 40,000 was ever fully ported to a digital platform; what achievements would it make sense to have?

Here are some of my ideas.

  • Tarpit — 15G — force a non-Battleshocked enemy unit to take a Desperate Escape test.

  • Sentinel — 10G — Control the same objective marker for 5 Battle Rounds in a row.

  • Tabled — 40G — Destroy all units your opponent controls before Battle Round 5.

  • Dominated — 30G — Control all objective markers at the end of the round.

  • One Man Army — 25G — Have a Character unit destroy 4 or more enemy units in a single turn.

  • Unbreakable — 20G — Have a single unit take and pass 3 consecutive Battleshock tests in a single match.

  • Consolation Prize — 0G — Lose a match on Battle Round 5 without conceding.

  • Full Spectrum Warrior — 100G — Win a match with each 40k faction.

  • Veteran Commander — 75G — Use each stratagem in 40k at least once.

  • That's 40k Baby — 5G — Have a unit with 2+ Ballistic Skill or 2+ Weapon Skill miss all of their attacks (outside of Overwatch).

  • Herohammer — 20G — Build and play with a 40k army with 5 or more Epic Hero units in your roster.

  • Objective Player — 30G — Win a match while you had no units on the battlefield.

  • Sole Survivor — 15G — At the end of a turn, have only one model left in a multi-model unit.

    I'm pretty sure Angron or Lion El'Johnson could do that if they charged a bunch of Tau Firewarriors.

    Theoretically... But practically no, barring very particular characters.

    My hardest-hitting model in my entire 2k army is my GUO.
    He's got two guns and 6 Strike/12 Sweep melee attacks. So literally the only way to accomplish it is to wipe at LEAST two units with his melee attacks.

    Maybe do it from a points perspective?

    ie, if a character destroys twice (thrice whatever) or more its value in points during the game.

    ChatGPT, write a detailed and cohesive backstory for a Space Marine Chapter called "Forum Warriors".

    Spoiler:
    Chapter Name: The Forum Warriors
    Founding: Unknown (believed to be a late Founding, possibly 23rd or 26th)
    Gene-Seed Origin: Ultramarines (suspected, unconfirmed)
    Chapter Symbol: A stylized aquila clutching a scroll and quill, surrounded by a laurel wreath
    Chapter Colors: Deep indigo armor with gold trim; scrollwork and text motifs adorn pauldrons and vambraces
    Homeworld: Lexicanum — a data-world orbiting the gas giant Archivus IX in Segmentum Tempestus
    Chapter Specialty: Strategic consultation, defensive warfare, and digital warfare; renowned for their doctrine debate chambers
    Battle Cry: “Argue it well, or not at all!”

    Origins and Founding
    The Forum Warriors are an enigmatic Chapter whose origins are shrouded in conflicting data fragments and redacted Imperial records. While their gene-seed is suspected to descend from the Ultramarines, several inconsistencies in behavior and neurological augmentations have raised questions about whether they are in fact a hybridized strain of multiple Primogenitors — a rare but not unheard-of practice in the late Foundings.

    Scholars within the Adeptus Administratum speculate the Chapter was formed during the tumultuous Nova Terran Schism or shortly after the Age of Apostasy, a time when record-keeping was suspect and many experimental Chapters were sanctioned and lost. Some even argue that the Forum Warriors were initially conceived as an experiment by the Adeptus Mechanicus to create a data-driven Space Marine force — one that could leverage thought as a weapon equal to the bolter.

    Homeworld: Lexicanum
    The Forum Warriors are based on the data-world Lexicanum, a former Mechanicus archive moon converted into a fortress-monastery. Unlike traditional recruitment worlds, Lexicanum has no natural population — only databanks, servitors, cogitators, and a network of interactive philosophical and martial simulations designed to test neophytes.

    Aspirants are sourced from neighboring hive worlds and inducted through an intense scholastic and gladiatorial trial system. Only those who can argue logic while deflecting blows survive. The Chapter believes that strength without clarity leads to ruin, and clarity without strength is cowardice.

    Lexicanum is a labyrinthine planet of parchment libraries, cogitator tombs, and mnemonic vaults. Within it lies the Scriptorum Bellum, a grand debate chamber where battle doctrines are argued by multiple Captains before being ratified into action. Disputes are settled not by rank, but by rhetorical skill and clarity of strategic vision.

    Doctrine and Combat Philosophy
    Forum Warriors are famous for engaging in prolonged strategic analysis before any campaign. While this has earned them mockery by more impulsive Chapters (notably the Space Wolves), their foresight and adaptability have led to victory in wars that others considered lost.

    Combat Doctrine Highlights:

    Strategic Layering: Rather than direct assault, they prefer multi-theater engagements, drawing enemies into traps devised during hours of debate.

    Data Warfare: The Chapter uses servo-skulls, vox-ghosts, and corrupted scrapcode to confuse, demoralize, or distract enemy forces.

    The Codex Reinterpreted: While technically Codex-compliant, the Forum Warriors reinterpret the Codex Astartes constantly — viewing it as a “living document.” They annotate their copies with marginalia, footnotes, and rebuttals.

    A unique role exists within each company: the Redactor-Sergeant, whose duty is not just to lead squads but to continually revise battle doctrine mid-combat based on unfolding variables. They are trained in both warfare and dialectics, often updating strategy via encrypted battlefield treatises.

    Beliefs and Culture
    The Forum Warriors believe that the Emperor was not merely a god of war, but a philosopher-king whose design of the Imperium was meant to evolve. This heretical nuance has brought them scrutiny from the Inquisition, though no proof of corruption has ever been substantiated.

    Their Chaplains, known as Lexipriests, deliver sermons in the form of logical proofs, parables, and philosophical riddles. Heresy, to them, is intellectual dishonesty as much as spiritual betrayal.

    Cultural Traits:

    Memory Tattoos: Veterans inscribe the conclusions of victorious debates onto their armor as oaths and lessons.

    Scroll Duels: Disagreements among brothers can be formally addressed via duelorum scriptura, a public written contest adjudicated by the Chapter Master or senior Lexipriest.

    Silence Protocols: Marines who fail in battle must take a vow of silence until they’ve composed a written treatise explaining their failure and proposed corrective action.

    Notable Engagements
    The Defense of Hadrian's Maw (844.M41): When Tyranid Hive Fleet Elga struck Segmentum Tempestus, the Forum Warriors developed a multi-tiered defense strategy that used disinformation, sacrificial outposts, and rotating kill-zones to thin the swarm. The campaign took four years but prevented the xenos from reaching key Agri-Worlds.

    The Scroll Purge (370.M42): A war against a splinter cult of the Word Bearers, in which the Forum Warriors used doctrinal mimicry to infiltrate and destabilize the cult’s memetic structure, eventually turning half of their enemy’s thralls into passive dissidents mid-battle.

    The Trial of Ten Doctrines (601.M42): An internal civil conflict within the Chapter where ten divergent interpretations of the Codex Astartes caused a near schism. After a year-long ritual of debate, physical trials, and a final simulation war, the Chapter codified the Lex Imperfectus, a living addendum to the Codex Astartes unique to the Forum Warriors.

    Current Status
    As of M42, the Forum Warriors remain at half-strength, recovering from extensive losses sustained during the War of Null Logics against the Necrons of the Szarekhan Dynasty. Their Chapter Master, Dominus Arguen, is rumored to be drafting a Treatise of the Dead, a work that will either unite new successors to their cause — or invite censure from the Inquisition for its rumored philosophical transgressions.

    The Chapter’s continued existence is a testament to the power of debate, strategy, and the written word — even in an age where bolters roar louder than reason.

    7 Ork facts people always get wrong:
    Ragnar did not win against Thrakka, but suffered two crushing defeats within a few days of each other.
    A lasgun is powerful enough to sever an ork's appendage or head in a single, well aimed shot.
    Orks meks have a better understanding of electrics and mechanics than most Tech Priests.
    Orks actually do not think that purple makes them harder to see. The joke was made canon by Alex Stewart's Caphias Cain books.
    Gharkull Blackfang did not even come close to killing the emperor.
    Orks can be corrupted by chaos, but few of them have any interest in what chaos offers.
    Orks do not have the power of believe.

    Does all mean all? Because over the years I've accumulated a few unbuilt or unpainted minis that I don't even intend to play.


    idk about points (I don't really pay attention to those when I get Steam achievements), but here are some suggestions, some serious and some silly:

    Steely Aim - Destroy a charging unit with Overwatch.
    Long Bomb - Successfully perform a 11''+ charge.
    Ford Pinto - Suffer a Deadly Demise three times in one game without using a stratagem to that effect.
    Self-Destruction - Lose a unit to the Hazardous rule.
    Mutual Destruction - Destroy an enemy unit with a unit that has already lost its last Wound (e.g. via Hazardous, Deadly Demise, a counter-attack upon death, etc.).
    Death of a Thousand Cuts - Take away the last Wound of a 10+ W model with a Dmg 1 weapon.
    Seasoned Commander - Play a game against 10 different factions.
    Conqueror of a Hundred Worlds - Win a game against every playable faction.
    What If I Need This Later? - Finish a game with 5 unspent Command Points (not including games in which the opponent conceded before the end).
    Clumsy - Accidentally knock over or aside a piece of terrain that has models under or on it.
    Frankenstein's Model - Build a model using bits from at least three different factions.
    Sportsmanship - Remind an experienced opponent of a rule to their advantage that they were about to forget. Alternatively, allow an opponent to perform a move, an attack or a charge after the appropriate phase has ended.

    Ork archivements:
    Proppa Waaagh! - declare a Waaagh! loud enough to startle nearby people.
    Rokk 'em boyz! - make another player flinch while deploying a unit.
    Green tide - roll enough dice onto the table to displace an entire unit.
    Dis is ours now - acquire a model from your opponent's army and convert it into yours.
    Da biggest an' da best - Scratch build a model, but the result ends up at least 50% larger than the original.
    Saga of the Beast - Have Ghazghkull Thrakka killed in combat without him killing anything of value.
    Moar dakka! - Have your opponent complain to you that orks shouldn't be good at shooting.
    Kustom Mega Blasta - Take 30 or more damage across your own army on your first turn, while going first.
    Da Grot Revolushun - have a unit or gretchin deal the killing blow to a unit at least five times their points.
    Speed freek - have all units engaged in combat at the end of your first battle round.

    7 Ork facts people always get wrong:
    Ragnar did not win against Thrakka, but suffered two crushing defeats within a few days of each other.
    A lasgun is powerful enough to sever an ork's appendage or head in a single, well aimed shot.
    Orks meks have a better understanding of electrics and mechanics than most Tech Priests.
    Orks actually do not think that purple makes them harder to see. The joke was made canon by Alex Stewart's Caphias Cain books.
    Gharkull Blackfang did not even come close to killing the emperor.
    Orks can be corrupted by chaos, but few of them have any interest in what chaos offers.
    Orks do not have the power of believe.

    Unlocked! My (now-retired) Daemon Prince was converted from an old metal Prince, using a head from a Great Eagle, wings from a Pegasus Knight, a tail from a War Altar, and hands from the plastic dragons (and a staff from a Lord of Change, but that one doesn't count).

  • Herohammer — 20G — Build and play with a 40k army with 5 or more Epic Hero units in your roster.

  • How many factions even have 5 epic heroes?

    Imperial Agents

    Steely Aim - Destroy a charging unit with Overwatch.
    Long Bomb - Successfully perform a 11''+ charge.
    Ford Pinto - Suffer a Deadly Demise three times in one game without using a stratagem to that effect.
    Self-Destruction - Lose a unit to the Hazardous rule.
    Mutual Destruction - Destroy an enemy unit with a unit that has already lost its last Wound (e.g. via Hazardous, Deadly Demise, a counter-attack upon death, etc.).
    Death of a Thousand Cuts - Take away the last Wound of a 10+ W model with a Dmg 1 weapon.
    What If I Need This Later? - Finish a game with 5 unspent Command Points (not including games in which the opponent conceded before the end).
    Clumsy - Accidentally knock over or aside a piece of terrain that has models under or on it.
    Sportsmanship - Remind an experienced opponent of a rule to their advantage that they were about to forget. Alternatively, allow an opponent to perform a move, an attack or a charge after the appropriate phase has ended.

    That is just a description of an average game with me running orks

    Seasoned Commander - Play a game against 10 different factions.
    Conqueror of a Hundred Worlds - Win a game against every playable faction.

    Still missing GK and Imperial Knights for 10th. Just one player with those around and he is busy playing EC.

    Frankenstein's Model - Build a model using bits from at least three different factions.

    Three is rookie numbers. My killrig is orks, CSM, guard, DG, space marines and whatever necromunda faction the ridge hauler is from.

    I suppose those achievements would be unlocked by buying GW direct stuff only

    "Whale neophyte" - spend 1000GBP or more at the GW store

    "Whale junior" - spend 10,000GBP or more.. etc etc

    "The larger point though, is that as players, we have more control over what the game looks and feels like than most of us are willing to use in order to solve our own problems"

    ACHIEVEMENTS You Dont want (or won't admit to).

    Let the Wookie Win - 75G - When you are playing your significant other (or someone who hope to see wearing less clothing), you throw the game. Wookies rip people's arms off when they lose, or so I hear.

    Cheater: Speed Dice - 50G - You rolled and scooped. Nope, there were definitely no 1's in that roll.

    Cheater: Extra Wounds - 150G - Yep, your Tyranid Warrior just got 8 devastating wounds, but he's not dead. He's got 1 wound remaining. Sure that amount of damage killed your other ones, but this guy's important, he's sitting on an objective.

    Cheater: Poor Math Skills - 250G - Let's see, you've taken 16 wounds to you Astra Militarum Infantry Unit, made 7 saves... carry the 2... yep, 5 died... no need for a Battleshock test... You're math skills will win you the game!

    Cheater: Points Handicap - 500G - It's a friendly game, no need to look too closely at my handwritten army list, dear friend... no reason to ponder how I've fit in another 450 points of Terminators... no need to question it...

    Cheater: Social Manipulator - 550G - Your opponent has zero chance of seeing you without your clothes, but wants to. You use this to your advantage and flirt mercilessly with your victim. Your opponent cannot concentrate on the game, but still goes home alone.

    Bonus 200G if you cause stuttering or drooling.

    Cheater: Rules Interpreter 200G - Did you miss the latest update? No, it's not on the App Yet... yeah, you can't charge me on the first turn. I understand how it's easy to miss these things... I'll let you do something else.

    Table Diva - 5,000G - This is my table! The store always reserves this table for me! No. I don't want that one over there! This table is closer to the wall outlet, so I can charge my phone. No, I will not play on that table over there!
