Bump it when Kara shows up again.
A new "Warhammer" Games Workshop store opened downtown. It's right in the sweet spot of my usual Osaka run-around area. Jesus, help me avoid getting back into this expensive hobby again. :doge
Vermintide is on sale for like $12 on PSN. I picked it up and it’s definitrly scratching that Left 4 Dead itch. I always preferred the 40K universe more (I enjoyed that cancelled MMO of regular Warhammer that got cancelled though) but from everything I’ve seen about the Left 4 Dead-like 40K game, it’s garbage and super janky. Vermintide is pretty cool though and I didn’t know I wanted a leveling system, multiple classes, or loot in my Left 4 Dead until now.

The emperor of all mankind. Demonstrated psychic abilities by mind controlling half of humanity. Feeling sorry for the orcs in the east for what is about to come.
Eisenhorn is getting adapted to television. :wow

I’ve started playing kill team a few months ago.
Pretty cool game. Though I keep buying kits to plus up my kill team and have almost 1000 pts of space marines now
Yes, I realized that at some point.
I’m now thinking about whether I should *invest* in building out a full army or into the new skirmish game coming out based on AOS.
Sort of thinking about the skirmish game, as I like that size for a match.
Games Workshop is pretty invested in Age of Sigmar taking off, but Warhammer Fantasy never quite hit the same success 40K did (hence the reboot). I guess the biggest concern with that game is that the factions are very... Balkanized? and that makes it look like a recipe for factions getting Squatted to me. If you stick with something they're invested in (e.g. Seraphon, Sigmarines, Chaos) you should be OK on that.
@ kingv - Saw you were exposing your daughter to Kill Team in the Dungeons & Dragons thread (iirc). Don't have a lot of practical advice there but I got into the hobby as a kid via the streamlined large scale battle boardgames like Battle Masters. My first proper 40K fight was relatively small, though. The question I have about the tactical games now is are they just 40K with fewer units (good) or pandering to Necromunda dorks (good too, but maybe not for kids).
Glad this thread exists. I've read the eisenhorn series. What would be a good book to reintroduce myself to 40k?

OK, wait. after this thread and talking to some friends it came out that I should read heresy of Horus, and then I looked it up and it's 54 books? WTF? OK, Do i need to read anything before the Talon of Horus?

I thought Nefertari was sort of a bad ass.
Doesn’t she fuck up multiple traitor legion types multiple times in the story?
The Ian Watson Space Marine book has a depiction of an Imperial Fists chaplain ritually shitting out a perfectly spherical turd.
