Tabletop Warhammer?

Ok, well I will make a map tonight. As long as everyone has their army ready to load it should be fine. (point of note you can only load an army using the new feature if you are in the player 1 and 2 slot so I will save mine the old way)
 
Now things are starting to settle down at home I may start playing again.

Did we ever decide on a Season 2? and what was the outcome of voting at the end of Season 1?
 
The final league table is in the dropbox. Did we decide.....short answer is no. Newts half did a campaign plan and was going to expand on that (you can read it in the dropbox). He has been busy so I don't mind taking over and finishing one up if he's ok with it. Need to work out numbers really as well. At the moment it's potentially:

Me
JHeaton
LordHughes
Aceytrixx
Woogie
No1newts
Vincent?
Gooner Leroy?

8 players would be a good number.
 
Looking for a bit of advice here guys:

My lad has just bought a Dark Vengeance set and we are mid-way through painting them. We are total noobs at this and although he did have a black reach set a year or so ago we just made the rules up as we went along. This time however we aim to do it properly!

I have been assigned Chaos (which I like tbh) and my lad has the Dark Angels. I know we can play with the kit 'as is' without adding extras but his grandparents have added to this kit by buying him a few land speeders and a squad of terminators.

We've not tallied up the points of each army yet although I would wage he has many more points than me lol!

So my question is: What should I add to my Chaos army?

I have Hellbrute, 20 cultists, 5 chosen and 12 marines. Is a Daemon prince worthwhile? I'm also considering converting some old space marines that are looking a little tired.

Help me out please. I don't want to be an 'epic failure' of a father:o!

I promise to put up some pics of the models once complete.:cool:
 
Have you picked up the appropriate codex for each army. They are really key for adding more units and covering all war gear and special rules units have. Also go with units You like the look of and with the codex you can see if they suck or not :) some terminators may not be a bad shout. Helldrake is also a good looking model that's decent on the field
 
Take a Helldrake, he might grow up resenting you though :D

Seriously first step should be an HQ (Does DV come with one?) A sorcerer is a great choice, Chaos get them cheap and they can support the rest of your army. I'd also decide on a theme for your army, you've got the choice of the 4 gods or undivided (basically split between them) Nurgle is the best choice imo, gives you tough units and Plague Marines are excellent.
 
New Tau list Shami :)

I'm liking it a lot! The time may have come :p

Re the campaign I'm ok if you want to take over, otherwise I'm happy to drop in an update next week when I'm stick in a hotel.
 
DV comes with a chaos Lord, so HQ is covered unless you do want a sorcerer or a specific HQ choice (abaddon, kharne etc ... )

Really I think you need a Chaos Space Marine squad first, DV lacks in the capable troop choices and a squad of CSM will bring the force to something usable, as you can use the cultists as a meat shield for the marines. It will also give you another Heavy Weapon (missile launcher, bolt gun or plasma cannon (I think)) (squad of 10 can take one) and give them the mark of nurgle for increased toughness (2 or 3 pts per model), you can get quite an effective firing squad for not that many points.

After a CSM squad I would be looking at something that can deep strike and cause some early chaos, so maybe some raptors (or warp talons if you are feeling very flashy with points).

I have a friend who plays Warhammer, however I've never played it, nor do I have any interest in doing. I am actually more interested in the lore and books behind it being a huge sci-fi fantasy fan, I already know a fare bit from reading random titbits of information and stories he tells me.
Would anyone be able to tell me where to start reading book wise?
 
Horus Heresy for history

Gaunts Ghosts and Eisenhorn/Ravenor are the better contemporary stories. That is Imp focused though, not too sure about non Imp fluff.

Chaos is a great Army to chose, Have you decided what god you want to go with or will you stay undivided? That may help you decide what to purchase next as it can unlock a lot of different choices for you.

I am (trying) to collect a CSM Army and am really taken with Nurgle so will be including Typhus in my army :) He makes Plague Marines a troop choice (from what I remember) and allows cultists to be turned into Plague zombies meaning they are fearless and have FNP but I believe can no longer capture points.

I echo Shami though, Get a heldrake and show your son who is boss :P
 
You can selectively sync folders! I keep telling people this :p

Go to Dropbox options, Sync folders, advanced view and it'll let you tick only certain folders.

Typhus does make Plague Marines a troop choice (as does any standard Chaos Lord with Mark of Nurgle)

Here's the final table:

I thought so :) but the normal Chaos lord doesn't have a mahoosive scythe, a 2+ and 5+ save as standard :P as well as some funky powers :)

and woohoo I got voted best for fair play
