Tabletop Warhammer?

Yeah it did start as a one man project but he opened it up so others could help, as its fan created it should be pretty decent.

The ultramarines movie was awful, so much of people just walking around with clunky animations, bad voice acting, bad models, bad environments then when the action did finally star it was again clunky and awful.

all this 40k CGI talk has given me an urge to play some DoW, anyone fancy a few games at some point?

Shamikebab · 18 Apr 2013 at 11:17

Yeah I'd be up for trying that, I'm terrible as well so I definitely won't be winning much of that

lordhughes · 18 Apr 2013 at 11:21

OMG I may beat shami at something warhammer related

clartymarty · 18 Apr 2013 at 11:36

When you saying DoW how do you play against each other? or is it against hordes of people, or is that DoW 2

Which is the one with the Necrons/Tau/DE Armies lol

That's in the original, both have there pros and cons I like the original because of the Imperial Guard tank spam!

Nah, its all about getting a few terminator squads and just ploughing your way across the map

Shamikebab · 18 Apr 2013 at 11:57

first is better (more races, more fluffy, more levels, more fun)

clartymarty · 18 Apr 2013 at 12:12

So will it be on the first one you will be playing? if so add me to steam I have it installed on my laptop!

Shamikebab · 18 Apr 2013 at 12:16

Yeah Dark Crusade is probably the best option (Soulstorm wasn't as good)

clartymarty · 18 Apr 2013 at 12:21

What is the max players you can have and can you save a game? I cant remember much of the game TBH got it installed when I took up painting again but havent had chance to play it yet ha-ha

I got them all on the steam sale I think

lordhughes · 18 Apr 2013 at 12:23

From the top of my head, I think 4v4 was the cap.

Shamikebab · 18 Apr 2013 at 12:23

yeah, and no you won't be able to save. Games are pretty quick though.

I would be up for DOW though I was much better at number 2 never really played the first that much.

Add me to steam, can play tonight or tomorrow.

drumunsta · 18 Apr 2013 at 13:27

Woogie · 18 Apr 2013 at 13:33

Me, but not very well.

Shamikebab · 18 Apr 2013 at 14:07

In my head I've always had Tyranids down as the second easiest thing to paint after Orks, not sure why. I will try a model at some point (possibly a Zoanathrope)

i would love to see how you paint them, mine are not the best but they are a lot better than what they used to be lol. they are easy to paint but still fun i think, im just interested in how people have painted them lol.

yeh i would say the orcs are pretty easy to paint once u get the hang of the skin, for me its really effective just using inks, then adding the detail lol. the good thing about them you dont need to be neat haha

stokecity_m · 18 Apr 2013 at 19:48

I use quickshade as i don't really like painting. This gives me tabletop acceptable models in a very short space of time.

He took around 15 - 20 minutes minus any drying time.
