Warhammer 40k

Does anyone here play?

For those of you who do not know W40K is a tabletop war game. It was designed many years ago but has some really cool back story. Humanity has spread to the stars and found space an unwelcome threat. To combat the enemies of man a human developed psychic abilities that rivaled the gods and forged an empire. Now his warriors must defend his planets from hostile forces. The lots and lots of races too.

The Space Marines are humans on the Ultimate Steroid and the giant defenders of humanity backed up by their religious Sisters of Battle, and the massive numbers of the Imperial Guard.

Their enemies range from the fungal and stupid Orc's, the ancient and mysterious Eldar, the demon worshiping human traitors called The Chaos Space Marines, the young but advanced Tau, the self serving pirates of the Dark Eldar, the soul hungry robot zombies called the Necron, and the ultimate furry race, The Tyranids. (My personal favorite)

So who would you play with?

I used to play IG, but haven't played in ages. Never really got seriously into it because of the cost.

That was one fun hobby but it was one of the most expensive I was ever into. I played Tao because I loved their mecha and other troops. Just the look of them and their long range abilities. I believe I still have a 1250 pt. size army still but I haven't played in forever. I also had a lot of fun playing the Dawn of War game for PC. Lost my copy of it those a while back...I miss that game.

I can still play. I still enjoy playing too but I won't buy any more.

I used to play this about 10 years ago.
I lost my armies so I had to stop (Blood Angels and Chaose Space marines <including the old noise marines> as well as Brettons from the fantasy WH)
Ive been really tempted to get back into this but I dont know anyone to play with really.

I played. Stoped around 2 years ago or so. Have a massive eldar army then got into Necrons. Went to england so I got massive ammounts of troops for near to no money. Got 2 monolyths for around $80ish instead of $250.
Stopped now.

I used to play, but stopped. Now my younger brother has my stuff, but he doesn't use it, so i might be able to borrow it from him if anyone wants to play.

Hmm maybe we should try adding 40K to games night? Do enough people on here go to games night? Does Rat have a table that could support it?

I play, I have both a Tyranids and Eldar army... They're both not finished being painted yet but they're playable!
