So I was thinking, after playing darktide a good deal over the past weeks, I wanted to find a way to simulate it on the tabletop. I started going through GW systems but never found one good enough. Then my friend invited me over and we played zombicide. While it would take some modifications, I think it would work pretty well! Any thoughts?

I’m curious if anyone has used the Eternus Armor bits from Pop Goes the Monkey on their Contemptor dreadnaughts. I’d like to use some of the bits (heads mainly, maybe shoulders or greaves also) on a GW plastic dread to just add some custom flair. However the heads look like they might be too big, same with the other pieces.

Who might be attending the big London GT? I'm actually going, with a new list planned in the Ultramarines section here, link when I get confirmation from the TO about whether a Kratos is allowed. I don't expect to win of course but I expect to have fun and if I can get 40% wins I'd be happy. Oh if anyone sees me wearing my B&C T-shirt with Captain Idaho on it, come say hi! I'm a big fella but don't worry, I'm also pleasant enough in real life!

Warhammer is a lot of things to a lot of people, both good and bad, both as a hobby and an IP. I think Warhammer is THE GREATEST HOBBY folks, like, the best ever. There is no other hobby like Warhammer (aside from I guess every other mini-wargames) and here is why. Warhammer fosters a community in a way that few other hobbies do. Warhammer requires active participation and gratification deferral. It is collaborative both as a game and as a method of storytelling. It fosters fellowship, empathy, and fair competition. It is artistic, and on some level we are all in it to be creative as much as we are to play games. Warhammer as an IP probably isn't my favorite (Dune, Starship Troopers, the Lovecraft mythos, and the Hyborian Age are probably better), but it is certainly my favorite IP that was created by more then one person. I think Warhammer finds a great balance between grimdark and idealism. It is both a dystopian setting and a heroic one and the Space Marine is simultaneously an heroic and tragic figure. There is a lot more substance to be found in the setting then you might initially think, especially since it was set up as a bit of a joke to justify unending war as the premise for a board game. It's not just toy soldiers.

A very good friend of mine, Sarah, wargamer and miniature painter, opened a Youtube channel, call Tank Girl. It's a spanish Warhammer channel, with lof of videos about W40K, especially painting, conversions, background and playing. There are other videos about events, non-warhammer board games and wargames, interviews, etc. but the bulk is about W40K. It's going to reach 100 vídeos very very soon, so in want to spread the word, and make some promo XD This is the channel, and here some vídeos: Iron Hands White Scars Mechanicus special conversion Chaos Knights Sisters of Silence Primaris Space Wolves Minotaurs, & Black Templar Adeptus Custodes I recommend it

On Inspiration and Historical Reference: What is Warhammer 40'000? 40k is a smörgåsbord of a setting, where all manner of concepts rub shoulders: From emotionless killer robots, barbarian hordes and space bugs, to fallen empires, technologically advanced upstarts, religious fanatics and cruel pirates. 40k is rich aesthetically, and sports a vast written background which is meant to give players a universe in which they can dream big and craft their own nooks and corners, whether it be by creating their own Marine Chapters, Hive Fleets or Craftworlds complete with named characters and backstories. The setting of 40k has been crafted lovingly by many hands and minds, some more learned and skilled than others. Poorer writers tend to end up with an impression of "Waaagh! The Emperor!" or "Look at the glorious heroes in their big pauldrons!", yet good writers never fail to display the deep flaws of humanity in the dark future. A great deal of ambiguity has been consciously injected into the setting, where the Emperor of Man can be viewed both as a divine saviour and a ruthless, bloodthirsty, powermongering mass murderer and tyrant. One of the very best aspects of 40k has always been that the evil empire is its protagonist, and much of the setting is seen through its propaganda lense: This is leaps and bounds ahead of the more childishly black and white worldbuilding in Star Wars, for instance (certainly a great setting in its own right when it is done well). In Star Wars, we would never be shown benevolent sides of the Galactic Empire; and neither would the dark side of the Force ever be a fundamentally integral part of what it means to be alive, rather than just a corruption on the pure light side. By contrast to Star Wars: In 40k, the Imperium is ridiculously oppressive and cruel, and its rotten stagnation may have doomed mankind, yet from another perspective it is also the sole remaining strong shield of humanity - incidentally brought about by the Great Crusade crushing all less extreme alternatives (an indication that the original vision for the setting has not been lost by later writers). Likewise in 40k, the daemonic Chaos gods are spawned by emotions which are inseparable from what it means to be alive. Above all, 40k is a bonkers fun take on the most depraved aspects of human history, all exaggerated to such ludicrous heights that 40k has always achieved being its own parody. This is why religious wars, gladiator battles, human sacrifice, slavery, pogroms, G.U.L.A.G. labour camps, the Inquisition, horrible slum conditions, fascism, Stalinist purges, genocides, brutal repression, starvation, crazed sects, gang warfare, plagues and witch hunts all feature so heavily in the material. It's a setting we love to visit for fun and dark humour, but not a place we'd ever want to live in. It's all harmless fiction, and a great sweep of imaginary worldbuilding. Enjoy the ride! Cheers!
