Any table-top gamers here?

Just wondering if they are any Warhammer 40k fans around. What about War Machine? If not, tell me what you play, as I'm always ready to be an armchair general and play with little plastic men!

 

i play lord of the rings warhammer and Flames of war, a world war 2 minature game, ive always enjoyed it.

 

Hmmm. I've never heard of Flames of War. Got any good links?

 

You might want to take a look at this thread,

And here is the Flames of War website,

Yup but only with real games...

None of that 40K Womblehammer nonense.... I grew out of that!

 

Oh no, now I've found something else to spend my meager disposable income on!

 

Dont go for Flames of War... The figures and vehicles are dreadful.

Go here... and see what you really want for WW2...

Cool links, Red Baron. Now stop turning me on to new distractions, I'm too poor to start another TT game, lol! Seriously though, I'm gonna look deeper into some other wargames, especially WW2 ones, so thanks everyone for the help! I'm a relative newcomer to 40k (been playing for close to 3 years), and even if I don't take up another game, I can draw inspiration from them.

 

WH 40k with Panzers? That's Flames of War for you

 

Just have to point out there is a WWII version of Warhammer 40K .

 

That makes it two.

 

Well, I like the sci-fi element of 40k, but recreating scenarios such as Point Du Hoc on the tabletop would be extremely cool....

 

Heres the Yahoo Group for Warhammer WWII.

Welcome to the Alternate Warhammer World War Two (AWWW2) group!

This group is devoted to WW2 miniature wargaming and is an unofficial supplement for Warhammer 40K (3rd OR 4th Edition).

Alternative Warhammer WW2 is a free fast and furious miniatures wargame system for skirmish (platoon) level WW2 battles, loosely based on a variation of Warhammer 40K game mechanics, and is intended either for players with experience with 40K who wish to expand their horizons into WW2 historical gaming, or WW2 historical gamers looking for a set of quick play rules.

In AWWW2, each figure represents an individual soldier, weapon, or vehicle, and rules are fairly simple and playable, but with sufficient detail to please all but the hard-core gamer.

There are numerous orders of battle (army lists) covering units of most of the major participants, a few sample scenarios, and supplemental (optional) rules and player aids that may be added as players see fit. All can be found in the FILES section of this group and are free to download.

You will burn in hell, that's for sure, burn in hell...

 

AWWWWWW...Im just being helpful LOL.

 

Ever heard of paper soldiers?

 

I go there all the time LOL. I download alot of the games and papermodels there.

 

Some of the great work there is by two Portagees, like the guy above

 

I have tons of 1:72 modles that i have bought and built, i mainly build 1:72 scale modles of battles from ww2, but this gamimg thing has me intresded, any games for 1:72

 

I've played Warhammer and WH40k, lost interest. Became too comercialized if you ask me. Plus, a bit oriented to the newest armies as they came out. I thought about Flames of War, but most of my friends are'nt interested in spending sooooo much money or painting the models. So I bought Axis & Allies minis. Turned out to be a hit! We all played the board games and it was much simpler to learn than other tabletop games. Some friends bought pieces, I have tons. Enough to share with friends. I get much more satisfaction and play time with these games. It's not the most reallistic or accurate of games, but loads of fun for me. Any other A&A players?
