    I was thinking about getting into 40K for a while, until I figured I wasn't prepared to be dropping that kind of time and money on a hobby just yet.

    Necromunda looks really neat though, no idea if anyone plays that anymore though.

    Man, I've never even SEEN a 40k army, but good lord I love the backstory and art to this stuff. I've read everything I can get my hands on in this universe, and I'm currently playing Fire Warrior again. As bad as it was, I can't get enough

    Also, past threads got me really interested into the background of the Warhammer 40K universe, so I've recently read the first 3 books of The Horus Heresy.

    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?

    read everything Abnett has written
    I will try after I get through this series.
    Read the Ravenor trilogy especially

    Oh and basically every single Gaunt's Ghosts book, try to start at the beginning but they're pretty self-contained

    The Eisenhorn books are also pretty great.

    I've read the Entire Heresy series upto Mechanicum, they're all decent - good.
    Also just realised i've been confusing Abnett with Ben Counter and attributing the Souldrinker shit to Abnett, balls.

    My favorite 40k game is Soulstorm.

    I think that makes me a heretic. Ironic, since I favor the Witchhunters.

    which one?

    also I don't even remember what I wrote in my application

    basically if you have the money you will get in, but if you do not have the drive, passion and dedication you will bomb out and want to die

    The inquistion was but it depends on the army/player
    The Tau is up there since people try to power game them
    Imperial guard all inf army was a bad idea before the new codex

    In all it depends on the dice, player, army, and so many other random factors

    oh nooo

    what I'm worried about is that during the demonstration courses there's a translator but during the hands-on part no such luck

    I can perfectly imagine some tiny French woman yelling at me in French while I weakly protest that I don't know what she's saying

    because that is laughable

    also guard were not weak at all, the codex just made them way more boss

    I thought they had translators in the hands on for the basic courses as well

    also, if it's anything like the american courses, the angry chef yelling at you is a thing of the past

    every single one of my instructors was as helpful as could be, and was more than willing to help out any student that needed it

    buy potatoes and practice the knife cuts

    then practice them more

    then do it again

    when your fingers bleed from holding potatoes too much, practice more

    the blood helps you
