What even is this game?
>>708121336
It began as a fantasy boardgame in which you had to build and paint your own army and compete against someone elses., combined with a shitload of lore and fantasy books. In the noughties it turned into an RTS videogame series, which were great. And since then there's loads of different types of games.
There are two versions though, the first one is plainly called "Warhammer", which is set in the midieval era with knights, vampires, orcs dwarves and shit like that. The second one is called Warhammer 40K which is set in the far future.
The books are great, the games are okay, and the boardgame was a lot of fun when I was younger.
>>708121870
It seems to have the biggest cult following out of any game.
>>708122156
It started relatively long ago ( 1983 ) and it keeps renovating itself, which makes for long-time fans. There are countless books, which makes for a massive amount of lore heaps of characters and many different ways to enjoy this franchise. With the most recent addition to the tabletop series( Age of Sigmar ) mostly marketing to younger people. Games Workshop really knows how to market and co-operate with other companies. They worked together with the creators of the Total War franchise, which is a massively popular game, to create a version concerning the original Warhammer series.

I'm not much of a board gamer, but would you recommend a vidja to me without knowing the lore? Or should I look into the lore first?
>>708120915
>not fighting for the true gods of warhammer
>>708123449
No need to read the lore before playing the vidya.
I suggest you start with the Dawn of War series. I'd recommend Dawn of War : Soulstorm. IMO one of the best futurustic RTS games on the market.
It also introduces you to a couple of the most popular "races" in the entire franchise, which helps if you want to play more of the games.

Cheers love.
>>708125128
Have fun mate.
>>708123460
Slannesh Senpai noticed my cacophony.
>>708124260
Honestly. I like Dark Crusade more. Mainly cause the objective is HQ not Annihilation.
>>708125568
My dick is heresy!
It whispers to me in the night. Seriously. Can I get an Ordo Malius to check this shit?
Last time I fuck a crab clawed succubus.
>>708125777
Who am I kidding. I'll never stop getting crab jobs.
>>708125541
DC was great exactly for that reason, the reason I like Soulstorm more however is because I really enjoy RPG games as well, and it has some elements of that in there.
>>708125944
True true. On the note of RPGs. Have you seen any of the Eisenhorn Xenos trailers? Based off the books of the same name. It looks kinda Batman Arkhamy from the one game play one I saw but that was a while ago too.
Also Deathwing is coming soon and my crux terminatus is firm as the Emperor for it.
>>708126157
Never heard of the Eisenhorn Xenos game, but the gameplay I'm watching looks fucking incredible.
The book was a great read so I might actually pick this game up.
Also Deathwing has been on my wanted list ever since it was announced. I've been dying for a FPS ever since I started playing the boardgame in 2005. This is going to be the shit.
What's your take on DoW3?
>>708125640
THAT'S TRIPLE HERESY BLAM!
>>708126555
I need to apologize to you. Eisenhorn is out and I found a review. It's a mobile game that was ported onto Steam. I've failed you battle brother.
I can't wait for DoW3, I hope it plays more like DoW 1 and not the like.. I don't even know what to call DoW2 it's a decent game by all means and I can see why it's fun but it's suuuuuch a drastic change that I personally felt like I wasn't even playing a dawn of war game at the point.
any of you guys follow the word of our lord and saviour tzeentch?
>>708126993
Tzeentch is a pretty cool guy. Sometimes. Maybe. RIP Thousand Sons marines kek
>>708127213
yeah but aren't they making new ones? and also the plastic model of Magnus tho
>>708126797
It hath been forgiven son of the Emperor.
I'm a bit torn over it to be honest. DoW1 was the shit, in every way possible. But DoW2 came with SO many RPG elements which was pretty neat too.
I have to say however, that I really did miss building massives bases and armies to crush filthy xenos with.
>>708125722
dubs confirm heresy
>>708126993

Saved that.
Also for the Emperor!
>>708129777
trips for the trips god
You called?
>>708124260
I actually enjoyed Dark Crusade a lot more than Soulstorm for some reason.
The first time i played Soulstorm i spent 45 minutes building the perfect impenetrable fortress so i could fuck around a bit if atacked and then died a bit inside when it didnt save my shit fun times
>>708130720
Nah Dark Crusade felt like >lol Necrons win
>>708130918
>necrons win
plz they where ez to beat
>>708131061
Ez to beat by you the player. The A.I would get shit stomped by the crons every single time.
>>708131061
Not with the Ultimate Apocalypse mod they weren't too bad you couldn't play the campaign with it
>>708131259
In being such a lazy cunt. I want to install the mod, but then I fuck off and do other shit. How badly am I missing out, Anon?
>>708131234
>>708131259
hmm, well i when i played it with ai on max difficulty chaos would complety fuck everyone up, even with the mod
>>708131259
that mod was sick as fuck
>>708127213
Tzeentch is an empty lie! Why fall for a cheep perversion of flesh? When you could gather skulls for the skull throne? Blood for the blood God!
>>708132373
Campaign or skirmish?
>>708132172
You're missing out trust me the mod really adds a lot of depth to the game, new units, new buildings, titans, maps it's pretty much a better version of the game I also think it improves the AI but im not sure
>>708132659
Fuck. Sounds awesome. As far as Titans are concerned, is it just scout Titans or do you get Imperator titans too?
I really want to get into warhammer
>>708133282
you get imperator titans aswell but it's not just the imperial guard everyone gets around 3 different titans i think plus a lot more abilities for psychers and such
>>708133797
Well the way i did it was i bought a dawn of war game got interested in the lore and spent literally hours on the wiki just reading about it
>>708120915
>>708133949
This.
>>708132475
skirm, in campaign space marines seem to kick other ai ass
also if anyone is interested in a game of dc or soulstorm just use gameranger
>>708133817
God damnit. Now I have to get it. Thanks for the info, Anon
>>708134444
good call quadsanon
>>708134444
Well would you look at that. Thats a first. Happy day.
>>708134444
Checked, not heresy.

>>708136442
aww.. that one is cute.
>>708136855

>>708121870
>There are two versions though, the first one is plainly called "Warhammer"
oh you sweet summer child... i have some bad news for you

w..what?
>>708138053
damn
>where's your practical now?
>>708138217
is it just me or are captchas getting more confusing to understand?
Praise the emperor
>>708138319
Nah, you're just a faggot
>>708138339
is this from that story of an assassin that didn't kill an eldar and instead ran away with her?
Because i remember reading something like that a few years ago
>>708129672
Debating with a friend.
Are these Blood angels or angry Khorn Warriors?
Who's ready for some imperial fisting?
>>708138739
Definitely chaos space marines. There is a chaos undivided staff so probably not khorne marines.
>>708138739
Look like Word Bearers, with the color scheme and undivided staff. Also holding a ceremony, probably Word Bearers. World Eaters wouldn't have time for that.
>its Monday
>>708138775
Just started a fist army, decided not to do the space Mexicans and instead stayed with the classic yellows.
>>708139687
god i fucking hated those damn things
