Warhammer 40,000 is fun

So some of my old friends and I are getting back into WH40k

I inherited a brand new army of Cadians from my brother, sold mah best bud my old Eldar force, and my other buddy is fielding a pretty cool Tau army

It's been like five years since I played, but I've been playin' that shit since I was about six, so it's rad as fuck to get back into

I'm fuzzy on the rules, never played fifth edition, and get confused by intricate stats conversations in other forums, but I'm slowly reacquiring an understanding of fifth edition

My cadian army is extremely infantry-heavy, but the infantry field a large enough variety of heavy weapons I suspect it could be a fairly effective force even though it lacks fast attack, and I have a Leman Russ and a Chimera

Do any of you faggots play warhammer

    I only play Warhammer 40,000 Roleplaying.

    Dark Heresy owns.

    Rogue Trader will own.

    Deathwatch will own as much as it is possible for something to own.

    Building, painting, customizing, and converting models is what I love the most

    I built a badass Commissar from bits tonight, and found a Warhammer Fantasy horse upon which I'm going to mount a melee-oriented Imperial guard character unit, and use the rough rider rules for him

    because you can totally field a general on a horse

    I've got a Land Raider to build too, and so many goddamn sacks and sprues of bits I can use for conversions and additions, plus some turf and terrain building material. We built some terrain and turfed it up tonight, tomorrow we're gonna paint and detail it with bits and probably build some forests to lay out a legitimate field.

    I used to play back when I was in my early teens. Then a few months ago I was reading the thread in CF and got the urge to play again. So I bought $50 worth of paints, painted half an Eldar squad... and then I guess I got bored with it for some reason.

    I have a 2000 point space marine army I've had for about 10 years

    Space marines are nice, but not particularly interesting to play

    Plus in fifth edition they never break ever

    The Horus Heresy books have really surprised me by not being written like ass. Especially Flight of the Eisenstein. That book was aces.

    That's next on the list for me, cool. So far, I've liked the first book best.

    How far into the series have you read?

    I've kind of just read them at random, I just borrow them from my local library. So far I've read Descent of Angels (which is a bit slow, but still a reasonable read), Mechanicum, Flight of the Eisenstein and Tales of Heresy, which is a short story collection.

    I was really into warhammer and warhammer40k when I was I guess in middle school. Painting and collecting and reading the stories and building maps with my friends was actually a ton of fun.

    But then my dad got real mad at me and threw away all of my figurines, I'm pretty sure he just wanted me to play soccer. I'm still not sure why he did it and I never got back into it.

    Oh god I used to read my white dwarf magazines cover to cover, 3 times a day the whole month till another one came out.

    I loved cheapskate converting my miniatures

    I fell in love with orks because I didn't have to buy expensive stuff, I'd go to the thrift store and buy some shitty unfinished model boxes and bang something up. Then I'd just cut up an ork to fit him in

    I used to play Warhammer but then I stopped

    I was never very good at the game I only did painting, I wasn't bad at that bit

    I painted Eldar mostly because they are fun to paint

    Space wolves are oh so great

    as are Orks

    and Chaos

    and Tau

    and the rest of them. 40K has the best armies in it. There are even some people who like necrons.
