I figured an empty Warhammer sub-forum is always a bad idea, so voila.
My favourite race is by far the High-Elves. Following that would have to be Bretonnia or the Empire. I like the Dwarves a lot, but I've never been a Dwarf player at heart.
I don't play much anymore, due to a lack of opponent, but I like the Gotrek and Felix books so I get a lot of inspiration about dwarves and Empiremen.
So, what are your favourite races?
-
I'm a core Dwarf player.
Simply on playstyle I'd choose undead or possibly Lizardmen, but I don't like evil or wierd races, and I like the ethos of Dwarfs (never forget), and their industrious nature appeals to me.
I still play at our local Warhammer club, where I'm organising an underway based campaign (Pentathagnus plays HE, we're going to ally and kick Skaven ass).
-
Mmmm mucnhy skaven. Obviusly I like the elves, just can't beat the white lions. I wonder if anyone is going to strike lava in the campain.
-
Dont mention that campaign Jubal :angry:
I'm a pure bred orc player but my second choice would have to be an witch-hunter empire army, i jus love the idea of being able 2 raze villages 2 the ground for just 1 hertic.
WAAAGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:
And plenty hav stuck lava :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hey Dripping D, just a quick note on posting.
1. try not to use numbers instead of words, (e.g. 2 f0r to)
2. Smileys are cool but use them in moderation. ;)
Happy posting, and welcome to the forums. :)
-
I don't mind the odd number replacement really. Fullt txt spk is sht tho lol.
Dripping is another frind of mine from school, btw.
-
sorry marcus
but one does not like to use ones proper english on forums
so terribly sorry what what and all that
and one is partial to the use of smilies
they are very good and save ones typing fingers
-
Sarcastic snootiness, Just the right bait for a ban...
Nah, as long as we can read what you're saying without a dictionary we're fine. ;)
-
Nah lets ban the drippy fool ;)
Still elves. Go ponces go!
Edit: why am I trying to get you to ban him, I could do it myself. Feel like donating any cavererns to me in the underway campain drippy? :P
-
dream on you poncy elf
i still cant believe that you have got someone to give ypu a silver mine as protection money!! :D
and im am sooo going to win :P
-
I don't actually play Warhammer, are you guys talking about a video game or the little model figures?
-
Well there are video games, but the little model figures are the main thing.
-
ah ok, they're the ones you have to custom paint and all right? I had a friend who did that his were pretty cool.
-
You can use paper instead of models. And I think drippy needs to learn how to eat his humble pie. I think my next armies gona be a big slice of it for him :)
-
if i remember correctly my main army whooped two armys of dwarfs and brettonians so bring it on poncy :P
-
We had to finish hlafway through a close combat phase, only having done the 2 fights YOU would have won anyway, and NOT doing the two I was going to own you ass in. YOu can brag over the Brettonians, but I forbid you to start bragging over me. I have a banhammer.
-
you cant use banning as a threat
thats just not cricket
and anyway it wont stop me saying IVE OWNED YOUR DWARFS TWICE BEATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
With vastly superior forces, while watching your buddies get thier a$$es handed to them on a gold leaved plate?
-
haha Jubal you should model a banhammer onto a dwarf :D
-
Ah noooooooooooooooooooo the noobs invade. I've been snooping around one of the warhammer forums to check on the elven progress and what do I find? Noobs saying "I've recently started playing fantasy after 40k and I wana play elves"
Damn noobs. I aint giving you any advice. The elf armies are now going to suffer terribley in games workshop global campains. Noobs need their heads taking off I tell ye. That needs some white lion level of strenght (while, quite ridiculously striking first.)
-
i'd just like to say jubal that i didnt win because of vastly superior forces
but because of my brillient tactical prowess and vastly superior race
greenskins will beat stunties any day (unless their general is a retard, you know who i meen)
WAAAGH!!! :P
-
So G.C and WN are both retards? I have beaten both of thm on previous occasions with equal sized forced, as opposed to being stemrollered by about twice as many orcs by your good self.
-
:D HAHAHAHA Jubal, your Thane got owned by 20 clanrats!!! :P
-
Because 25 on 1 is SUCH a fair fight...
-
but if you had been able to run further you probably could of won
-
Meh...
-
is 40k the one with the chainsaw swords?
-
Yep. Don't play it myself, but the chainswords are preety damn cool.
-
totally.

hey JUbal are you looking forward to your alcheimists being wooped by my outlaws??
(Mordheim)
-
jubal did you lose to skaven!!!
-
No.
-
yes you did i saw it with my own fi... two eyes
-
so did i.
everyone was whatching the battle. and you rolled snake eyes.
-
Oh, I thought you meant overall in teh campaign. I lost a 25 vs 1 battle, yes.
-
Yo, you are all wrong, dead wrong!
Lizardmen are the best, i mean how can you not love the idea of an army including Giant dinosaurs!!! :lol:
And i also beat an entire army of skaven with 1 saurus scar-veteran, after losing the rest of my army! :D
-
i was an empire man but have sold that now. i am getting out of war hammer put still play lord of the rings. :zegun:
-
I was thinking about getting morranon orcs for ord of the rings, but im gunna stick with my scaly-ownage. :ph43r:
-
Which army do you collect? :huh:
-
let me quess, dwarves! they own in lotr :flashy:
-
oi vile shrubo you dont have giant dinosaurs, a stegadon is probably the same size as a stegosaurus and a carnosaur is based on a very primitive reptile (postosucus, i think) probably pre- to early triassic. Terradons are based on a type of Pterosaur, some of which often had wingspans over 7 metres (20 feet)
so hah lizardmen dont hav giant dinosaurs!!
P.S: bet you didn't know but i have paleantologist to fall back on if a fail at being a scientist
-
hi folks its sudobaal using jubals account (with his permission) i think there should be vote to ban all vile shrubo's i think plus we hunt him down and jkill him lololoz :zegun:
-
good idea i back that motion
-
Sudobaal is fat, thats why he wants you lot to kill me because he's out of breath just talking!
lol jokes. :lol:
-
well at least sudobaal doesnt need a step ladder to get up steps
-
Now then back to warhammer
Empire also are one of my favourite armies PIGEON BOMBS!!!! WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR IN AN ARMY!!!!!!
-
Something less fundamentally retarded?
-
they are funny, especially when they return to sender
-
ive been lucky so far... still hasnt killed my engineer or at that hit my opponent.....
-
this is a feeble attempt at reviving this thread
POST HERE!!
POST HERE!!!
POST HERE!!!!
-
Nobody can admit Dwarfs own.
They're UP at 1K but good at 2K.
-
i know nobody can admit that they are awesome
but you can admit orcs are!!
lol also i hav just made the most awesome 1000pts orc army ever!
-
HAHA check this pic out
(http://mythicmktg.fileburst.com/war/us/home/images/art/poster_09s.jpg)
found it on W.A.R site
-
CHAOS could cause serious damage to any army.
-
:lol: Jubal got beat by Lego Indy/ No.1 Croat Fan!!!!
and VS also got beaten by him :lol:
-
Not like you can boast, you've been cowardly and going and picking on n00bs. You are a disgrace to the word orc.
-
look at army name Orcs AND Goblins choose opponents like a Gobbo fight them like an Orc
WAAAGH!!! :lol:
-
You're beardier than me, and I play Dwarfs...
-
soon the deamons shall be defeated by the green tide.... :knight:
WAAAGH!!
-
We shall see....
-
dammit
-
Goblins FTW.
-
So G.C and WN are both retards? I have beaten both of thm on previous occasions with equal sized forced, as opposed to being stemrollered by about twice as many orcs by your good self.
after reading through this topic again i have noticed something i did not at first
you said i uses twice as many orcs, i had no orcs, only goblins and not normal goblins but Ld5 night goblins but i think your main problem in that battle was low initiative on your thane who got squished ['Mork wants ya' FTW]
so i second that Goblins FTW!
-
dark elfs
-
Empire and Chaos Warriors are my favorite...
-
The noble Tomb Kings are who I side with.
-
Excellent, more tomb kings = more gold in the Warhammer world. And everybody knows who wants gold...
(I need a Dwarf smiley).
-
Hands off my gold or my giant tomb scorpions will snip you right in half. ;)
-
Night Angel, threatening the Head-dude on this site may not be the best career move. :D
And me I've always been a High Elf player. Then I got some Wood Elves. And then Dark Elves. Then some Brets before more High Elves. And then I started Khuresh.
So my order of favourites is:
1. High Elves
2. High Elves from the Old World
3. Bretonnians
4. Emo High Elves from Naggaroth
5. Khureshi but most of the stuff I have on them, I made up. So of course I like them.
-
I'm Lizardmen through and through. They're just so awesome. Cold, enigmatic, and understand more about the world than any other race.
Gotta love their monsters too; Carnosaurs, Salamanders, Stegadons, Razordon... Good times.
-
Skaven :), all they want is domination, is that really too much to ask?
-
Woot you're posting! I feel vindicated! All we need is for you to do a Skyrim video and my happiness will be assured. :P
-
I could do it i suppose but id probably do it while The Khan is at my place, probably over the holidays or something, because it'd be easier having a second commentator. Plus i wouldn't be the only Australian guy :)
-
Lol they already need to put up with my accent, I'm sure they wouldn't have any problems with yours, even if you are Tasmanian. :P
-
I'd still rather do it with The Khan. It would be better having two Exilianares doing it than one.
-
Fair enough. At least you're gonna give it a go mate. ;)
-
Plus theres the fact that im probably a lot younger than the rest of you :P my voice could sound strange.
-
Meh, I'm guessing the same age as Khan here, so three years between us shouldn't make too much of a difference.
Now way off topic, go High Elves!
-
Theres a battle kit called the isles of blood. Thats Skaven vs High Elves :). Skaven would win of course :P
-
You can kindly get stuffed. We have Swordmasters, Reaver Knights, Sea Guard and a Gryphon all in one box. There's no way a bunch of dirty rats could best the might of the legions of Ulthuan. :D
-
Dirty they are indeed. Their filth will eventually destroy all, i think its a bit weird that theres a battle kit with them in it fighting High Elves yet in all the stories and what not that Ive heard about Skaven are them overrunning Dwarven cities and underground places :P High Elves would probably dominate Skaven unless they could be whacked out bye mutant ogre rats and warp-thrower teams...
-
And even with the mutant rats and the unclean fire-teams we shall still prevail for we are the Children of Asuryan.
Yeah I'm a bit of a nutter. Now watch out or I'll decapitate you with a halberd.
-
Can't kill Dwarfs with halberds, you'd get severe back problems from bending low enough to do so all the time. ;)
-
Lol we can poke you hairy bastards with the tip. The halberd is a very versatile weapon. ;) AHAHAHAHAHA! :D
-
The Empire. All the halberds you could ever wish for.
-
Phoenix Guard. The best halberdiers in the world. :P
-
Skaven. The umm... hairiest in the world O_o
-
GREEN IZ DA BEST! CHOPPAS WIV +1S TO ALL WEAPONS IN FIRST ROUND FTW! WWAAAAAAGGHH!!!!!
-
Uncouth green scum. We look down upon your barbaric "choppa." After all we have the mighty Greatswords of Hoeth with +2 Strength all the time without losing any of our prodigious speed. Now that is "for the win."
-
great weapon in the hands of an orc has +3S (S7 black orcs anyone?) and +2 every other :D
what good is your strength when no elf is tougher than a goblin! Hah!
-
Two words friend "Tomb Scorpions".
-
Great cannon.
-
Star Dragon.
Actually as an interesting note, every time my High Elf Prince, Raethelas goes on the field he brings his Moon Dragon Minaithir. Now keep in mind that I don't, haven't and will likely never play 8th Ed but while Raethelas himself has been brought down, Minaithir has never been taken off the table.
And I've played a lot of games....
-
I've had some hilarious fun lately with a CD sorceror lord on lammasu. The Lammasu is a horrible waste of points in general, but just dancing round an ogre army blasting them with death magic (literally solo-killing an 800 point stack) is priceless amusement.
-
8th Ed there Jub?
-
8th edition with a 5th/6th edition out of print army
use the indy gt one at least
-
To be fair, the army is still balanced. Just my opponent wasn't. :P
-
The reasons why Skaven are excellent.
i) They are the bond villians of the warhammer race, complete with underground lairs and WMD's.
ii) The Skaven though lacking mass archers have flame throwers (anti-regeneration) and Ratling guns, those ponsey elves hate them ;D
iii) Doomwheels
iv) The life is cheap rule for the poisened wind globadiers is so much fun when you lob twenty into a melee. So you'll kill 10 rats, they are so much cheaper than the chaos warriors who discover they have no armour save 8).
Admittedly they have their flaws but under the latest rules at least they can hit a barn door, more than they could when I first started playing!
-
I think we should be standing up for all the poor, innocent barn doors of the Warhammer world. :P
-
I still like Skaven :P, I've got little time for my army at the moment. Still have a box of Plague Bearer Skaven monks and half a box of Rat Ogres to finish painting up. The monks are still boxed, complete with wrapping and all :P .
